I read the article, and as usual you have a hard time differentiating between reality and fantasy. The guy's a wack job and paranoid as all get out, and you believe his dilusions?
Not that much of a surprise really.

TREES VS. SIDEWALKS
Our “Tree City” of Eugene is planning to remove numerous shade trees so they can save money on sidewalk repair. Besides the reduction in livability, this plan does not comport with the city’s plans to save energy because the reduced shade also increases heat during the summer.
The city may also be on the hook for violations of the federal Endangered Species Act since stormwater flows will be higher in temperature due to the lack of shading, and that damages the habitat of protected salmon and other fish.
If the city has failed to consult with federal agencies on this plan, it may be sued.
