chriswf This is so great. I can't think of a better way to punish my future grandchildren and great grandchildren than this. They haven't been born yet. But having Amazon do this to their oxygen and water will be a fair punishment for any of their sins. And they're all born sinners! Thanks Amazon! Reply

Just be sure to tell all you kids to use birth control so your future grandchildren and great grandchildren do not exit. They all breath out the extremely toxic and evil CO2. Reply
Steve Somewhere In terms of total CO2 produced this means nothing. Hysteria over CO2 and global warming, climate change, or whatever the hysterics are calling it this week, is getting old. China is putting dozens of massive coal plants online. Why? Because even in the nation that makes the world's cheapest solar panels, sometimes on renewables still can't compete with always on fossil fuel. Reply

SmokyBarnable Conversely, Amazon had pledged to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across all its global business operations by 2040. Before 2040 earth’s surface temperature anomaly will have climbed to 2C, and will be well on the way to 3C – the current pace has accelerated to about half a degree climb per decade. These corporate pledges, as we all know deep down, are complete chicanery meant to make us feel ok about our implicit or explicit support of what big tech is doing in the world. Reply
jp7189 The title is overly sensational. Lots of things make more CO2 than this. The article points out this may be the largest CO2 producing power plant. Thats more reasonable. Also, nat gas is the only viable source left to the US after all the whiners blocked better technology. Reply
jp7189 Ferlucio said: I hope both sides of your pillow are always warm The previous comment was rather crudely stated, but they may have been alluding to the idea that human respiration counts for roughly 2.5-3 B tons of CO2 per year. Reply
