Regardless of the “carbon” arguments:

Elephants are very social and sensitive animals.

There was a man who worked with elephants in a region in Africa for many years, in wild life preserves and in the wild. He knew many of the herds and knew and could distinguish individual elephants he knew. He provided medical help to many elephants, and he could visit their herds without them fearing him.

Elephants mourn for their dead. They will stand over their lost ones for hours and even days, as if on a vigil.

The fellow I was talking about died. When he died, an elephant matriarch and two of her herds, by some instinctual way, went to the man’s village and to his house, as if to visit him, standing vigil there for a long time - a journey that must have taken them twelve hours.

It is unknown how the elephants knew their human friend had died.

What we REALLY need is a herd of Mammoths - get those gene splicing scientists to work!

Ban ALL carbonated soft drinks.

Do you understand that the CO2 in soft drinks is taken directly out of the atmosphere before the drink is make? Soft drinks do not produce CO2.

Is any of it absorbed by the body? I’m thinking not much.
Most of it is pissed away? Filtered out at the treatment plant and put in new carbonated drinks?

In the meantime, we can produce some fabulous belches. Put some muscle behind them for Olympic Grade enjoyment.
