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.

Full text: (in response to "Per capita CO₂ emissions Over Time")

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.

    reforesting and planting trees is good obvi but my sole contact with a tree guy irl was some STEM libertarian who thought commiting ecocide on the plains to plant more trees would fix everything.

    idk where it comes from (probably white supremacy if you go deep enough) but a lot of this is founded on a bizarre belief that there's an ecosystem tier list with "forest" on the top. just plant trees guys are climate cranks right up there with the "regenerative" ranching believers, see silvopasture for the epic crossover event.
