The tiny fern that could take a big bite out of greenhouse gases

So is it fair to say that If we were able to recreate this paleo-botanically (?) significant event today, it would mitigate… 1/4000th of our modern climate crisis?

That’s cute and all, and every little bit helps, but we’ll have more impact painting our roofs white or genetically engineering cow farts.

Luckily we have demonstrated considerable experience with defoliation and carbon de-sequestration; so we have some options in that case.

Getting things out of oceans (where this lived), not so much, though…

Why are some of these proposed solutions to climate change all so absurd and complex? Inject carbon into rocks! Plant fenrs everywhere! Everyone eats algea! The solutions are so much simpler and already exist…

That’s definitely NOT the worst thing (depending on yr POV).

Boy, howdy! That looks good enough to be a scene from Serial Apist II !! Is Wil Wheaton in it?

It’s from Troll 2, quite possibly the worst movie of all time (yes, worse than The Room)

Well. Worst yet entertaining movie. I’ve seen some stuff that was unwatchably terrible.
