Not kidding

How do you comsume something that's being emitted in the exhaust of the aircraft you're riding in?

Oh brother...more Eco-Statist tripe. The inconvenient truth:
Water vapor is by far the most abundant greenhouse gas, accounting for about 95 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect, and man’s contribution to it is insignificant. Anthropogenic (man-made) CO2 contributions are responsible for only about 0.117 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect. Using a real-world comparison, 0.117 percent of a football field would equal just over 4 inches.

They better find a way to tax volcanoes. Magma emits absorbed carbon from the crust/seabed, usually in the form of limestone (calcium carbonate). Just a guess, but one volcano probably spews as much carbon as a whole country in a year...let alone those reckless wildfires!
Those evil, selfish, conservative volcanoes and wildfires!

Awesome! (this made me laugh). You could probably get some greenie to blow a gasket if you asked them to get in on the pool.Minor point of order: we're not using the carbon, we're creating it with our right wing, nature hating jet engines.
