It also magnifies the extreme weather it shelters us from. Taking in all stages of production, concrete is said to be responsible for 4-8% of the world’s CO2. Among materials, only coal, oil and gas are a greater source of greenhouse gases. Half of concrete’s CO2 emissions are created during the manufacture of clinker, the most-energy intensive part of the cement-making process.

Thanks to the Romans. And they invented concrete that would set-up underwater.
Concrete is wicked heavy too. How can we keep making it without the earth eventually sinking?
lol... You know we have ships that were made out of concrete. What magic is that?
Volcanic eruptions, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes...among the most destructive forces on earth...and nothing we can do to prevent them from occurring.
Concrete? Good grief.
I believe the superior Roman concrete used volcanic rock in it’s formula.
Yes, you are right.
And duct tape.
“The Romans did it!........................”
“But aside from concrete and Co2, what have the Romans ever done for us?!”
Caesar Salads!......................
Appendix (a) to Green New Deal - use mud bricks.
Ayn Rand wrote Anthem, about a future global society where science is outlawed, in 1938. Turning out to be prophecy.
So that’s why The Wall can’t have concrete in it?
The AOC’s of the world will not be happy until we ALL are living in thatched mud huts wearing grass skirts and eating grasshoppers......................ALL except THEM of course!...........
Rand has a better track record than Q.
The Story of the Three Little Pigs
Three pigs came to town on a warm summer’s day,
and they said to each other what a nice place to stay.
They each made their plans with remarkable speed,
and they went out to look for the things they would need.
The first little pig built a house made of straw,
he thatched and he thatched till he couldn’t thatch any more.
He worked every day till his trotters were sore,
then early one evening came a knock on the door.
“Little pig, little pig won’t you let me come in?”
“No, no, no, by the hair on my chinny, chin, chin.”
“Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in.”
No, no, no, Mr. Wolf I will not let you in.”
So he huffed,
and he puffed,
and he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in
The second little pig built a house made of sticks,
he paid close attention to all the fiddley bits.
With curtains on the windows and carpet on the floor,
then early one evening came a knock on the door.
“Little pig, little pig won’t you let me come in?”
“No, no, no, by the hair on my chinny, chin, chin.”
“Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in.”
No, no, no, Mr. Wolf I will not let you in.”
So he huffed,
and he puffed,
and he huffed,
and he puffed,
and he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in
The third little pig built a house made of bricks,
which he felt would be stronger than straw or than sticks.
He painted the ceiling and he painted the walls,
then early one evening came a knock on the door.
“Little pig, little pig won’t you let me come in?”
“No, no, no, by the hair on my chinny, chin, chin.”
“Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in.”
No, no, no, Mr. Wolf I will not let you in.”
So he huffed,
and he puffed,
and he huffed,
and he puffed,
and he huffed,
and he puffed,
and he huffed and he puffed but it did not blow in
Now the three little pigs each had a house made of bricks,
so they wouldn’t have to worry bout the wolf and his tricks.
They each found a wife from that same little town,
and soon there were piglets all running around.
Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.
That’s the ppoint, tho.
Just breathing creates a more significant impact than farting.
That leads us to the rational conclusion of...?
How a out Mongolian yurts?
Uh, Libs should do the honorable thing?
