Monetizing carbon cleanup

Leave it to Big Business to create solutions.

as reported by Reuters:
New technologies may grab carbon right out of air

New Technologies?!!?!!? How about OLD technologies?

like TREES. Just plant more trees.

You know: replace the 80% of the trees that humanity has "monetized" murdered already.

WTF?

tobacco holocaust

From this Reuters article:

"Tobacco use will kill 6 million people next year from cancer, heart disease, emphysema and a range of other ills"

"Tobacco accounts for one out of every 10 deaths worldwide"

Sooooooo... tobacco kills every year about 6 million people (and rising). The Nazis killed about 6 million Jews in the Holocaust.

So tobacco is a perpetual ongoing holocaust. And people pay money to participate as victims.

People publish these kinds of statistics cuz they're jealous of how cool and sophisticated smokers look when they smoke.
