Also, on "can we plant enough trees?"

https://www.theguardian.com/sustain...our-co2-problem

Needs three Indias worth of productive land reforested. The arbor day foundation loves giving out seedlings btw.

E: looks like they don't give them out any more but you can get a bulk lot of 50 (you pick which 50) for the nice price of $69.

They also blanket areas with "Tree Survey" solicitations, and in return for like, 20$, they send you a gently caress ton of seeds and poo poo.

Plant more cool plants in your yards. Less grass to mow, cooler poo poo to see, more animals to watch, and it does gently caress all to stop the fall of civilization and the death of Earth.

I don't see Harris beating Trump while millions of white people in the Midwest somehow don't see the connection between his tariffs and their unemployment checks.

It’s unlikely Trump will win the midwestern states that matter (WI and MI mostly) in this case; he won 2016 by the absolute slimmest of margins. I don’t see him repeating that given how much more unpopular he’s become.

Go hog wild. Highlights include Medicare For All, "It could be a possibility in the future. I'm just looking for something that will work now."

I see she's following in the proud footsteps of JFK's bold assertion, "We choose to not go to the Moon in this decade and not do the other things... because they are hard."

This company plans to plant 1/2 trillion trees by 2050 by using drones to fire tree pods into the ground.

I’m all for it. Just fucken turn them loose all over the place. They fly over an area and create a topographical map, then crunch that data to create an optimal planting route to drop about 100,000 trees at a rate of 120 per minute.

Edit: corrected billion to trillion. Thanks!
