Oil? Coal? Gas? No. The greatest current threat to the planet comes from… fir trees.
The media, which in the true spirit of the left is dedicated to ruining everything, is on the case just in time for the season.
Christmas can be a gassy affair, and the tree that stands proudly in your living room is no exception.
On average, a natural Christmas tree emits 16 kilograms of CO2 equivalent if it gets landfilled after use. That drops to around 3.5 kilograms if you turn it into woodchip or burn it as firewood.
But if you’re thinking of ditching the real tree and going for a plastic one, you might want to think again. Artificial trees have much bigger carbon footprints, emitting on average 40 kilograms of CO2eq.
So how long until there’s a call for banning them?
Of course, this is part of the larger theme of making Christmas subservient to the official state Green cult.

What’s the carbon footprint of a newspaper? Especially when it’s on fire.
Le Monde journalist Nabil Wakim, who hosts the Chaleur Humaine podcast on climate solutions (in French), answers questions from readers on the challenges of the climate crisis.
Having Wakim discuss the carbon impact of Christmas is just peak wokeness. I’m not sure anything could top it.
