I just got a CO2 meter and checked the levels in my house and went down a rabbit hole trying to address the issue. Apparently it would take 249 areca palms to offset the carbon RESPIRATION of one adult.

So okay 249 trees just for me to breathe, not to mention the rest of the bad things we all do.

So how can this math ever balance? 249 trees just to break even seems like an impossible number. Then all the flights I have been on, miles driven, etc.

I feel like that’s… Way too many trees. Is it hopeless or am I missing something?

    Right, human induced climate change is real.

    To clarify further though, the blame should rest almost exclusively on the shoulders of the oil companies, and they are desperate to deflect that blame, onto anyone but them.

      Oil companies don’t burn oil. They sell it.
