The Kilauea Volcano is Erupting Again

[BTR1701]

It's spewing billions of tonnes of Co2 into the Earths atmosphere. But
sure, keep thinking spending billions of dollars on carbon capture and
stopping cow farts is going to change the weather.

I wonder how Newsom is going to address this problem (since only California
under his leadership can save the earth, dontcha know). Maybe a per capita
volcano tax on all countries that have them, since It's a proven fact that
if you pay more taxes, the weather will change. (And by proven fact, I mean
a quasi-religious leap of faith.)

He's already having to deal with the results of the Stanford study that
found that the carbon released by just one moderate-sized wildfire wipes
out all the 'climate change' gains of the last 20 years in California. And
how many mid-to-large wildfires do we have every year?

Fun fact: the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens released more carbon into the
atmosphere than all of humanity has since we split from the Neanderthals.

I saw a video a couple of years back that was from a PBS series called
Eras (which may or may not make it scientific fact AND perceived fact to
the Left) that asserted that there was a time that the levels of CO2 in
the air were much higher than they are now due to volcanoes but then the
levels had gone considerably lower. Given that this was many millions of
years before anything resembling human life existed, we know this was
NOT caused by men nor repaired by men.

The only logical deduction to make from this is that the earth harbours
its own mechanisms to reduce CO2 that don't depend on people to activate
it. Maybe it's time to research that and figure out what that mechanism
is. It may well be that the carbon problem will take care of itself
without expensive human intervention that is simultaneously frustrated
by natural events that release carbon.

As for Newsom, maybe he can finally allow tax money to be spent on
thinning the underbrush that apparently makes the wildfires much worse
that they might otherwise be. Instead of protecting obscure species of
by protecting their habitats, he could put them in controlled
environments that would let them flourish a different way.

Top of my head, yes, the earth does harbor such a mechanism. It's
called 'plant life", which indeed goes nuts when there's abundant CO2.
But I wouldn't count on its promptness to save human civilization.

Well then, I guess we can just give up on the idea of a simple solution
- or an alternate one - now that YOU have decided the issue.

Sorry, I assumed you'd want speculation about your speculation...
