The real discussion is determining the net harm of rising CO2 concentrations, and what appropriate measures should be taken to address it.
But if it were easier to reduce some natural source by 4% to completely offset our 4% that would be fine. CO2 is CO2.

Swarming flocks of drones.

With thumping sub-woofers. Peace through superior sound-off power.

Boomer: [quotes Billy Joel]

The Universal Lyric:




Still didn't find the one I wanted to [find].

edit:The one that goes, "JKF blown away, what else do I have to say?" I guess that in the original. I like this one for the production values:

Here's one you can hum along to:

..or the name of the Jeep concept. It seems more useful than tank steering.

I guess I'm going to spend the rest of the year binging on covers of We Didn't Start The Fire. It seems appropriate.

This ones a good re-write We Didn't Start the Fire (1990-2012 Edition)

This one's spun out of thin electrons. Not sure about the bug in the lower right, but I like the vocal[oid]s. Megurine Luka - Billy Joel, We didn't start the fire 2009

The Rivian is just a simple free add on available when you use 1 motor for each wheel, that Jeep concept is a complicated, expensive, most likely fragile or very heavy add on that is probably 100% likely to kill you at interstate speed when it fails, which is probably only a 30% chance at least.

You're probably right. Tank steering would be preferable to fail at freeway speeds.
