Yes. Growing a tree from sapling to a giant trunk removes significantly more carbon from the atmosphere than an existing trunk sitting there at mass, unable to store much more carbon.

And yes, that's why I clarified that new trees would need to be planted, right on the money.

I mean, they're proving their point rather well, not sure why you feel the need to take pot shots at them :/

I mean, that's the mechanism by which carbon is removed. It goes into tree, tree dies or gets cut down taking all the solidified carbon with it, new tree gets planted in its place to repeat the cycle. In fact, the fastest way to scrub carbon with the practice is to farm trees, assuming you do it sustainably.

Wish I could donate blood, but alas, I'm on some prescriptions that would make the recipient unhappy, and I'm not about to try not-professionally-conducted bloodletting.

Yup, the fact that the court cases against him for things that have been fully confirmed by the law to be factual and grounded in reality are just going away because the president can't be touched more or less confirms it.

The law can be fully broken whenever there's enough nationalist energy going against it. And the US has voted to fully give in to the high of that nationalism.

But then you'd be missing out on the greats, like Party Cannon

Nah. Shut the actual fuck up. Everyone very clearly laid out the exact outcomes of these choices, you just felt the desire to be self-righteous instead of doing literally anything beneficial for anyone besides yourself.

To make it clear I'm not mincing words: this is your fault.

At the very least own it instead of whining like a kicked dog.

I know, it's a huge relief seeing this as someone who uses the free tier. I think I'll cough up for the advanced tier if they stick to their guns on this decision.

Russia really has become "big North Korea", sheesh

More proof that billionaires are treated like a special class that the law can't touch. Cool.

Sly Cooper and Jak & Daxter are both criminally forgotten in this era of games

That if they vote third party before we can get rid of the first-past-the-post system, they are helping their ideological opposite. And a corollary: if they do it because of the genocide in Gaza and Trump encourages a total wipeout of the Palestinian state like he's telegraphing, the blame for the deaths of those innocent civilians is on them for being self-righteous instead of honest.
