You can’t ask that question. It’s simply not permitted.

I think we probably need to keep in mind these dipwads probably got a $750,000 grant to perpetuate this utter BS.

Why not just plant a tree. Maples give off thousands of seeds each year.

Scott Adams' Dillbert had that idea a few months ago...

They concluded they would destroy all life on Earth.

That’s right.

Not to mention that those little solar powered CO2 absorbing factories can produce free food as well.

Instead of using a giga joule of energy to capture a ton of carbon from the air, a tree captures carbon by converting sunlight energy to sugar instead of that energy all going to heat. A tree cools the earth, a power generation plant to run this carbon capture machine generates heat and CO2 as a by product.

A tree seed is free, MIT needs to beat that price point.

I’d plant an apple tree.
