  6. Um..something isn't right. on Arborists Are Bringing the 'Dinosaur of Trees' Back To Life (qz.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They take 3-4k years to grow, and from what I've seen of sequoia trees, they have few branches and few needles to photosynthesize CO2. Surely smaller. faster growing, more leaf/needle sprouting plants such as bamboo would be faster at sucking up CO2.

  23. Re:The big question on Why the West Coast Is Suddenly Beating the East Coast on Transportation (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Not excusing it because it's older, just pointing out that over time everything falls apart, and if it isn't well maintained and upgraded, as is the way with many public works projects (highways, roads, bridges, etc.). The people in NYC should be as happy with their system as the people in Seattle. But I think it's more likely that over time the people in Seattle will come to dislike their system as much as New Yorkers dislike their system than the opposite.
