Carbon offset company sparks their SECOND forest fire this summer, burning nearly 35k acres

The invincible ignorance of the green agenda was laid bare earlier this week in Spain when, after having already started a forest fire this summer, an exponentially worse blaze was kindled by a company planting trees.

Land Life is a reforestation company based out of the Netherlands that embarks on projects around the world in the name of creating carbon offsets by planting trees in an attempt to counterbalance the impact of fossil fuel usage on the climate.

Their boast of an innovative business approach utilizing blockchain technology to drive solutions for land restoration was nothing short of disastrous Monday when their project ignited nearly 35,000 acres of forest.

In a statement released by CEOs Rebekah Braswell and Tjeerd Anema Thursday, Land Life took the blame for starting the fire on July 18 within Zaragoza, the capital of Aragon, an autonomous community within Spain. “The fire started while one of our contractors was using a retro-spider excavator to prepare the soil to plant trees later this winter.”

They need more trees to burn for fuel because they’re returning to the Stone Age 🤪

What makes it retro?

What exactly did it do to start such a conflagration?

How do these oafs get by with such lame and evasive press statements?

Yeah. These watermelons always talk about the increase of wildfires due to Globull Warming when it’s mainly due to “controlled burns “ that get out of control or some other irresponsible idiots causing them. And if they start because of dry lightning, oh well.

Does anyone here know what blockchain technology is and what it has to do with planting trees?

Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem.

Maybe today you need a cell phone, not a shovel, to plant a tree.

More cancer causing dioxins and furans are added to the envronment and water in a large forest fire than by all bleached paper mills combined.

Each tree planted has a QR code which points to an associated NFT in their proprietary blockchain public ledger, thus allowing ESG types to independently verify a company's penance for sinning against Mother Earth ... well that is my educated guess anyway.

Long, long time since I’ve planted trees. Do they still use hoedads?

That Retro-Spider sure seems to be running on fossil fuels and has hydraulics with fossil oils and tires that would seem to be made from fossil fuels and paint that was made with fossil fuels and plastics probably made from fossil fuels.

yet ANOTHER black mark against block chain technology: it can cause forest fires ...

More word salad I’ve understood correctly, a process to fleece the shallow and stupid and a solution to something in search of a need.
