Oil? Coal? Gas? No. The greatest current threat to the planet comes from… fir trees.
The media, which in the true spirit of the left is dedicated to ruining everything, is on the case just in time for the season.
Christmas can be a gassy affair, and the tree that stands proudly in your living room is no exception.
On average, a natural Christmas tree emits 16 kilograms of CO2 equivalent if it gets landfilled after use. That drops to around 3.5 kilograms if you turn it into woodchip or burn it as firewood.
But if you’re thinking of ditching the real tree and going for a plastic one, you might want to think again. Artificial trees have much bigger carbon footprints, emitting on average 40 kilograms of CO2eq.
So how long until there’s a call for banning them?
Of course, this is part of the larger theme of making Christmas subservient to the official state Green cult.
Real or artificial Christmas tree: Which one is better for the planet? – USA Today
Researchers race to climate-proof Christmas tree production: ‘We’re up to the task’ – The Guardian
What’s the carbon footprint of a Christmas tree? – Le Monde
What’s the carbon footprint of a newspaper? Especially when it’s on fire.
Le Monde journalist Nabil Wakim, who hosts the Chaleur Humaine podcast on climate solutions (in French), answers questions from readers on the challenges of the climate crisis.
Having Wakim discuss the carbon impact of Christmas is just peak wokeness. I’m not sure anything could top it.
I’m dreaming of a green Christmas: how to reduce your festive tree’s carbon footprint – The Guardian
How about people trade the carbon impact of a Christmas tree for the carbon impact of the media by never reading a newspaper again?
On this planet carbon is life. Reduce carbon reduce life. No carbon no life. The science is plain.
Good points Kit.
Has anyone ever calculated what would be the effect of drastically reducing our global CO2 output? That would be the sensible, scientific thing to do. So, no, that might contradict everything and kill the Golden Goose.
The Green Cult. Definitely a cult. Reminds me of the Moonies in Berkeley in decades past.
I remember those guys. I used to see them at airports with their posed saffron robes on giving out flowers. What a pack of phonies.
The saffron robed ones are Hare Krishnas, not Moonies.
Yeah, I wondered about that. Not that I give a shit. They’re all weirdos.
Just get a real job, those freaks. Get laid.
Biggest brawl in Atlanta since Sherman, was the Hare Krishnas against the Hell’s Angels for the drug trade. There were hundreds of them goin’ at it.
Really? Hare Krishnas fighting bikers. I wonder if they’re still around?
Great photo of the Bore. You can totally tell what an asshole he is.
Is that a pic of Gore? He looks as though he could produce enough carbon and methane on his own to raise the CO2 level of any of the depleted rainforests (jungles?) so many are weeping about.
Yes, I bet his breath stinks worse than his farts.
Him and Kerry are famous for it, with their mansions, yachts, and private jets. When they’re talking of carbon footprints, they’re talking about ours, not theirs.
The climate change conjecture is based on a false premise.
I assert “conjecture,” since the climate change notion does not rise to the level of hypothesis, much less to theory.

Anything they will do to ruin Christmas just what is the Size of Gore the Bores Carbon Footprint as well as that of the Chief Editor to the Garbage-Can(Guardian) or make that Gore-Inch
{Green] evil is a bottomless abyss.
The Pigs in Angry Birds are Green
If the leftist greenies were true believers in their own propaganda regarding carbon footprint reduction, they would remove themselves from the planet and leave the rest of us the hell alone. This cult could take some pointers from Jim Jones.
Gore and DiCaprio should both live as Hermits far away as possible from the rest of us
Reading the “woke news media” is bad for your mental health. It can turn you into a mental slave for the mass media, & then you repeat this garbage as fact to everyone you meet, like a mantra.
Do not buy the newspapers, save your money up in a Piggy Bank & when it is full treat yourself to something nice.
I’ve been using artificial trees for 20 years, and I’m only on my second one, so my “carbon footprint” is ahead of the game on this.
Artificial Christmas trees are good. They don’t die and they don’t cause home fires.
A few years ago, they made the same claim about Mother’s Day flowers.
I know exactly where I’d like to put my footprint.
Up their asses, right?
