I have a foolproof plan for carbon sequestration. The costs are low, the effectiveness high. I have been conducting a trial right here in my own home. What we need is an army of Horuses. The concept is quite simple: no matter how little I feed Horus, he keeps getting bigger. Undoubtedly, he is sequestering carbon for reasons known only to his little cat brain. What we need to do is take advantage of this. I am sure that two or three Horuses assigned to every US household should offset the carbon footprint of each home. Yes, Horus produces poop, but not nearly as much as his size would predict. He is hoarding carbon, not emitting it.
We will have to have a plan for the unavoidable dead cats that will eventually result from this scheme. I think we have several options. We could pack them into a rocket and launch them into space; space is very cold and could benefit from some carbon. We could keep them in deep-freeze in Antarctica; no one is there to notice or be bothered by a mountain of dead cat bodies. We could eat them; there is a dude in Canada, Warren Kinsella who is known to like barbecued cat (H/T Mark Steyn; its a long story). We could stuff them and use them as home decoration. I am sure there are many possible uses for cats after their carbon sequestering days are over.
Forget cap-and-trade; what we need is cat-and-trade.
hoe do you “break” something and make it not work, then call it fixed?
Can you milk a cat?
Shouldn’t Horus get a tax refund?
I think Ben Stiller covered that in Meet the Parents...
Snort. Horus was wondering the exact same thing at the time, but now his walnut-sized brain has forgotten all about it.
