After that 10:10 video I got to thinking. Take a train? Don't drive a car? WTF.
So what is the damn premise these miserable alarmists are using? It's all about CO2, well fuck me, CO2 generates life, but they want us to reduce CO2. OK then, plant a FUCKING TREE.
Trees and other plants make their own food from carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, water, sunlight and a small amount of soil elements. In the process, they release oxygen (O2) for us to breathe.
Trees:
* Help to settle out, trap and hold particle pollutants (dust, ash, pollen and smoke) that can damage human lungs.
* Absorb CO2 and other dangerous gasses and, in turn, replenish the atmosphere with oxygen.
* Produce enough oxygen on each acre for 18 people every day.
* Absorb enough CO2 on each acre, over a year's time, to equal the amount you produce when you drive your car 26,000 miles. Trees remove gaseous pollutants by absorbing them through the pores in the leaf surface. Particulates are trapped and filtered by leaves, stems and twigs, and washed to the ground by rainfall.
Air pollutants injure trees by damaging their foliage and impairing the process of photosynthesis (food making). They also weaken trees making them more susceptible to other health problems such as insects and diseases.
The loss of trees in our urban areas not only intensifies the urban "heat-island" effect from loss of shade and evaporation, but we lose a principal absorber of carbon dioxide and trapper of other air pollutants as well.
So here's the deal, I'll do WTF I wanna do, but I'll also plant a few trees, so you fuckers at the .gov that want to tax me can go fuck yourself.
RANT OFF.
