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

[Sequoyah101]

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?

[HighSierra5]

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?

[DPMD]

Clerical error by an unnamed member of the staff.

[packagingguy]

Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem.

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

[llevrok]

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.

The blockhead operating the spider was a chain smoker…

[abb]

Dibble bar. This is what you use to plant trees.

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.

[yuleeyahoo]

Did they enough offsets to pay for this?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Virtue-signaling Lefties are exempt.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

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

[abb]

According to the literature, yes.

[RetiredTexasVet]

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.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That Retro-Spider sure seems to be running on fossil fuels...

Shirley (/Leslie Nielsen joke) you don't expect THEM to adhere to the same standards they want to impose upon everyone else?

[catnipman]

“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. “

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

[Sequoyah101]

So I did understand the word salad definition by IBM correctly!

[Sequoyah101]

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.
