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.

      I think the criticism is what you said + tree planting goes full geoengineering sometimes when ppl advocate for replacing existing biomes with trees.

      Yeah, we are going to plant the wrong kind of trees so we will see them either burn, get cut down for lumber again, or just mess up the ecosystem with some invasive species

      One of the problems with that is that climate is changing which means the type of trees suited for various locations changes.
