As an aside ...

Libs love to recycle newspapers - “Newsprint in landfills still readable fifty years later blah blah blah”.

Libs are petrified of carbon emissions - “Global warming! We’re all gonna die! Must sequester CO2! Pump it into big caves underground for eternity!”.

Now, the contradiction...

When trees grow, they extract carbon from the atmosphere. Turning the trees into newsprint and burying it in landfills accomplishes their goal of getting carbon out of the atmosphere. But, if you actually do that, they go nuts (for most, it’s a short trip).

But then, the essence of being a modern liberal is the ability to simultaneously hold fast to two contradictory concepts.

Nah, it's the disinclination to hold fast to anything, except for abstract Marxist stuff they make up.
