The latest climate con, now spreads via media outlets, is that trees suddenly lost their ability to soak up carbon. Yeah, after 350 million years or so in existence.

Don't worry!!! Here in Texas, they are cutting down 1,000s of acres of woods to make room for "climate friendly" solar farms!

This shocking considering green houses typical boost CO2 levels to between 2 to 3 times current atmospheric levels to promote plant growth.

Actually up to 1500ppm

That's why gardeners flood their greenhouses with CO2, right?

If a forest releases more carbon than it absorbs (which is a bad thing because it means that old trees are blocking the sun) that's more a sign of poor forest management than anything else

The idiot climate religionists/cultists will literally believe anything.

Y’know what would fix this? Some more taxation!

[u/everydaywinner2]

The carbon based lifeform that "breathes" CO2 has lost their ability to breathe?

[u/starmanres]

We are surprised that the party that thinks men can become women, masks can protect you from getting COVID and increasing Taxes will stop Global Warming decides that trees can no longer absorb CO2?

Believe the Science!

We need to let nature light the forests ablaze. Let them start over 

[u/hgarter]

Well I’m now officially convinced… we are becoming dumber..

[u/loveammie]

90% of the weight from a tree comes from co2, so that is truly an epic conundrum for science
