Sounds like Phil Gaglardi, 1970s British Columbia forestry minister who was always using governmental aircraft to attend fundamentalist conferences all over North America. “There are only two things you can do with a tree: cut it down or worship it.” Carbon sequestration, oxygen recharge, temperature moderation, wildlife habitat, beauty, etc. are not to be considered important. Two generations later, his grandson owns the Dallas Stars, and teabag fundamentalism rules half the states.
