Conspiracy Theories - The new Utterly Ridiculous Thread or is it?

Carbon is bad but your forgiven if you buy a Carbon Credit, just dont ask for too much documentation.

Reminds me of the good old days as a Catholic , when your sins were forgiven if you bought an Indulgence,

im a bit of a sceptic. so i like doing research and seeing what evidence there is for alternative theories.

9-11, definitely sus
moon landing, confident they did it. amazed they did it with the technology and how hard it is for us to do now days.
jfk, definitely sus.
flat earth, i feel like this is a joke that got out of hand

Does that make the Carbon magically disappear?

As a general rule for conspiracy theorists, I would suggest considering Hanlon's Razor, one version of which is that "incompetence is much more likely than conspiracy".

"incompetence is much more likely than conspiracy".

we use this saying at work all the time.

Could the rumour be true that inside every ATM is an overworked hamster running on a treadmill?
Sounds unlikely, but you never know.

Why is carbon SO bad ? - Plants and TREES love the gaseous variant, CO2, which they use along with water to transmute into 'plant food' - which makes the TREE grow... and pumps out OXYGEN as a by-product.
So, the more CO2, the more the green things grow...and produce more O2 for us animals to breath...and crops grow that bit better...as do our veggies... 'cos the plants are being fed MORE FOOD !!!

'Climate Change' is being foisted upon the world by the UN (again...) and I strongly suspect there's a political / financial basis for it, probably 'wealth re-distribution'

Carbon is fine if it's locked up in trees, but is bad if the trees are cleared and burnt, which releases the carbon into the atmosphere. So keep carbon stored to avoid screwing up the atmosphere.

Now Mick, putting trees aside, 18% of the human body is carbon. The annual world death rate is around 55 million. That's a lot of carbon going into the environment each year and the population is growing quickly.
In saying this, the human body is 65% oxygen so, shouldn't we be breathing easy?
