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.

    The problem with trees is that they're a temporary carbon sink so you need somewhere to go with the wood if you don't want to end up with a marginally lower steady state. It remains more energetically favorable to keep the genie in the bottle than chase it down and stuff it back in once it's loose.
