First all-electric seaplane takes flight in B.C.

"Unhelpful"? We have a specific problem we are trying to solve. That problem is: Too much CO2, right now. The term is obviously useful in solving that problem.

Nobody is worrying about CO2 on geological timescales. It is simply not relevant to any discussion anyone is having, or any problem anyone is trying to solve.

This isn't complicated? How are you managing to miss the point with such vigour?

I could ask the same of you - how are you helping matters at all by chopping down a tree and burning it over digging up a tree and burning it? You're emitting the same amount of CO2.

Want to reduce global warming?

1. plant a tree

2. burn less

If you're wondering what to do with the tree after it grows, you can:

1. use it for lumber

2. bury it

One does not make the situation worse. The other makes it worse. That's pretty simple.

Neither makes the situation BETTER. But one makes it WORSE.
