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 cost benifit analysis of the 2022 IPPC report shows that tree planting, agricultural carbon sequestration, and forest protection are some of the most beneficial aspects of any global mitigation plan in terms of effectiveness of carbon capture and cost.

    We obviously can’t continue a pro growth model in developed nations for the end of time, but to say anything against tree planting is dumb. I don’t know leftists that are saying they are against trees, unless that’s what you have been doing?

      Nobody's against planting trees (if it's done right). But if wie don't stop pumping oil immediately, planting trees wont save us. Since leftists believe this, they "hate trees"

      Genuinely feels like somebody pulled a successful psy-op on reddit to poison the well against tree planting and leftists bought it. Very nuclear energy-like.
