"All forests are oxygen neutral." You realize that NatGeo isn't a scientific publication, right?

And "modern technologies" require resources and power, and the will to use them. If it's not helping the bottom line lots of people won't.

If you live in Chester, it is no longer lawful to shoot a Welshman with a longbow after midnight.

Does this alter your plans for the weekend?

Resources will become more available and price of electricity will fall.

No ... The effects of climate change include a drier climate.

Even if it's true you still could desalinate and pump sea water as electricity prices fall.

Those carved monsters you see on cathedrals and other buildings aren't necessarily gargoyles.  They're technically called 'grotesques'.  'Gargoyle' refers to a specific type of grotesque designed to direct water away from the sides of a building, using a spout generally incorporated into the mouth of the sculpture.

Imma keep calling 'em all gargoyles.

Climate alarmists need to shut the f* up.
