It's too controversial now, but one day we will recognise the current narrow-minded obsession with CO2 as the Western civilisation-wide doomsday cult that it is.


I think this is literally the most head in own ass stupid thing I've ever read on the internet.


Quite the opposite - I'm asking people to take a wider view of the changes that humankind is making to the planet. Given those changes, a viewpoint that concludes with people asking for vast numbers of trees to be cut down, burned (or charred, at least), and buried has some fundamental problems.


Your house is on fire. What is more important to you, putting out the fire or repainting the living room?


Putting out the fire, yet I get people telling me all the time I need to buy lots of shiny new things to save the planet! (and cut down trees).
