Kind of low-hanging fruit, since it's the cursed orange website, and even they will soon vote it down to the negatives, but it was such a fresh flavor of unhinged that I had to share it.

Let's count trees per capita.

Planting more trees is commonly regarded by leftists/communists/morons and "science" people (that don't know a method from a hole in the ground) as a dumbass solution.

If you want to reduce carbon dioxide in the air, it's simple. Plant more. Why dipshits from the left are against planting trees and carbon sinks shows me they only care about politics.

    Oh sure. You'd need a command economy committed to actually planting new trees, rather than just running scams where you try to quadruple count trees already in the ground to make that kind of progress.

    Damn shame the US doesn't have that.

        I brought that up as example with a few friday for future people, who didn't know their history (which is understandable). One of the students was like: "I thought socialists do only mine coal and increase industrial production." which is easy to think when you aren't aware of the multitude of people trying stuff under the label.
