Exactly - the solution is to plant more trees - the most efficient carbon capture mechanism devised.
Even if you just fell trees and convert them to furniture, they take at least twice or thrice the time to decompose, than they took to grow.
Either way, we're ahead - and that's ignoring the carbon trapped in the root systems of felled trees left in the ground (that effectively increase the carbon content of the Canadian host soils.)
Your note does apply to you, but not the way you think: defending (components of) Bush's intellect isn't dumb, it's rational (as you pointed out.) But you are smart enough to write all this but disbelieve that God created us.
Ignoring (say), the identical size (to us) of the sun and the moon -- two sources of ligh,t for the day and the night (according to the Bible.)
And I'd like to see this article's author be one of the brave Japanese nuclear plant workers that exposed themselves willingly to cancer-causing levels of radiation in order to get the fuel rod temperatures down.
Remember, the desperate times... if they had not done that, there was the likelihood the fuel rods would have melted into a self-heating, critical slag (China Syndrome). That would ultimately melt straight through the ground until underground water caused a massive steam explosion, with a much larger fallout area hit by radioactive debris.
Right now, your best option is tape backup, buried in a weather-proof box. Fire won't harm it under the ground - only moisture. And nosy neighbours who reckon you've buried cash.
A couple of 'burial mounds', with tapes rotated out every year, should be about right.
As technology improves, the ideal backup solution would have the weatherproof box contain SSDs sitting in cheap USB3-SATA caddies. USB cables would come out of a weatherproofed junction and rise to the surface through a snorkel. There, a small solar panel would power the SATA caddies as the USB3 equivalent of a Zigbee (wireless USB) chip. Hey, presto - onsite but still "remote", online backup! Or the data links become fiber-optic, you could probably string a long USB and Thunderbolt directly to the snorkel.
Get a PC with 6 USB 3 ports, connect a powered, 4-port USB 3 hub to each PC USB port. Then connect 24 1TB external USB HDDs (or SSDs) to the hubs, format as necessary and run your backup software.
Thunderbolt may be higher performance and have daisy chaining capabilities. But the USB solution should work just fine.
"McDonald's tuition assistance program will reimburse up to $5,250 a year (which is the maximum IRS exemption), and $2,000 for part-time employees, which in effect adds two dollars an hour to someone's earnings.

"The team arranged two speakers either side of a liquid fuel flame to demonstrate how fire can be controlled by amping up an acoustic field. The sound increases air velocity, which then thins the area of the flame where combustion occurs, known as the flame boundary. Once the boundary area is thinned, the flame is easier to extinguish. "
Pardon my scepticism, but if you can position speakers at the base of a flame, you can also position CO2 nozzles there too.
BUT - this could be significant - a robot carrying speakers does not need to carry a CO2 gas supply.
Or they could the two techniques in combination -- using an accoustic field to shape a CO2 extinguishant stream that manipulates the "flow of cold plasma" feeding the flame.
... and plugged into a small little audrino powered by induction transfer from outside the safe!
(that is, after somehow solving the 'faraday cage' issue with metal safes:D... we need to get power out, and exchange a Wifi signal with the outside world)

I first read this as "Corporate priesthood"!
Which isn't too far off the mark, given how seriously most of us take our jobs and corporate life in general.

The Linux desktops of old got transformed into Linux server, were gratefully used by Google for their server infrastructure.
Then, as mobile phone hardware began to resemble the desktops of yesteryear, Google went "hmmmm..."
And so it flows.
