Pretty sure non-artificial trees have also been shown to be viable, perhaps more of them too.

Yeah, obviously you want to keep trees around, but artificial trees can hit somewhere like a metric ton of CO2 a day, and if you combine that with a good use for the carbon and enough trees we could put a significant dent in CO2 release into the atmosphere. My understanding is that we could combine that with other green initiatives and we might be able to even lower co2 in the atmosphere.

She definitely has a serious case of foot in mouth disease. There is a seed of truth to what she is saying, mass migrations are definitely a contributing factor in the rise of support for Fascists and authoritarians world wide, they aren't the cause but the extreme inequity that already exists leaves people feeling pressured and desperate already and watching a bunch of people who will be competing for another share of the very small pie that the rich allow to trickle down to the rest of us tends to result in people becoming more xenophobic and the willingness of authoritarians to point at those refugees and name them as the cause finds a far receptive audience than it would in a more equitable society.

I know that I'm a bit of an outlier in that I think that Hillary's heart is in the right place, she just isn't very good at reading the mood of the Democratic base and is stuck in the same 90s thinking that got Bill elected and isn't adaptable enough to "evolve".

She missed the biggest gimme of 21st century when she supported the Irag war.

I also think that she is stuck in a 1990s woman politician world where she tries to politic in a way that is focused against attacks that a woman will be less "strong" on issues like war and crime. Which sucks because the real advantage of having more diversity in places of power would be to get voices that are not so poisoned by toxic masculinity.

It's why she lost against Obama and it's why she lost to Trump and why she will not be the 2020 nominee.

There is nothing good left there. Only a rich out of touch old idiot, marginally less evil than Trump.

Liberals could do every last thing the fascists claim to want regarding immigration, and all that would happen is they would train their bigotry on some other target in order to continue to justify their existence in, oh probably about as long as it takes to read one of your longer posts.

Right wingers don't actually care about immigration. They don't actually care about the jobs those immigrants are "taking" and they never have. They just hate people that aren't like them, and there will always be people who aren't like them. The correct response to their demands that we help them get their dicks hard by victimizing people, is to cut their dicks off.

(And, you know, destroy capitalism so its catastrophic and ongoing failures don't make it easier for them to do recruitment, but I digress.)

And the thing is Hillary, on some level anyway, knows this. She should certainly know that you can never concede "enough" ground to the right - they'll always demand more and more until you're dead. But she's saying this anyway because third-way liberalism has taken over her brain like it's Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

What is an artificial tree?

I've said this in the climate thread, but the big problem I see with any carbon capture technology is that whatever mechanism we use will inevitably require energy. So long as we are still using carbon emitting sources of energy there's probably no point in direct air capture, as the presumably carbon-neutral energy we use to fuel capture would be better spent offset some other emitting source. Until we are completely or nearly carbon neutral, there's not much point investing in capture.

This logic doesn't apply for point source capture schemes, and it doesn't mean research into the field is valuable. So long as we are still burning natural gas though I don't see any capture being applied at scale.

A handy sized vessel burns about 25 to 30 MT (metric tons) a day, a panamax probably about 35 MT. Now that doesn't straight convert one would have to do the stoichiometry, which I can do but ehhhh.

Anyway just handy bulk carriers there are 2000 + sailing. I believe the last time I checked there were over 6000 bulk carriers of over 10000 DWT (dead weight tons) . There are also containerships, roro ship, and they aren't included in that number. Just to give a general sense of scale of the marine transportation portion of climate change.

I didn't miss anything, I just pointed out that there was a seed of truth in the assertion that climate refugees are making some people more receptive to authoritarian messages, particularly those of the Fascists.

Yes she is old and out of touch, also the assertion that was made that this is a problem that she created credits her with a hell of a lot more power than she ever had.

The difference between myself and the Dems are bad brigade is that I believe that people can be wrong without having to be malicious. And yes there is a substantive difference between the two.
