MTG told Alex Jones that this will brainwash people to harp on CC. Guess she was right. /s

Wait, is he using Magic: The Gathering cards as tarot again? I mean, crowd control IS powerful…

ITT: A bunch of grumpy people who base their opinions on media coverage of the event.
Media reports and reality don’t always align, believe it or not.

Many people get their news from the media.

This reads like an episode of South Park.
70k people show up once a year, emit 100k tons of CO2, and the Burning Man Project wants to pretend it's concerned a geothermal well may 'disrupt the desert ecosystem.'
I hope it rains much harder next year.
Is that more co2 than 70k people going on a normal camping trip including driving, food, fire, etc? I have no idea how to interpret 100k tons of CO2. It’s not an intuitive number.
Saying it's like burning over 100 million pounds of coal does suggest that it's a ridiculously large amount.
I don't know. You can do some calculations here.
There's no way that many people are pulling off LNT. It's also "Burning Man" not "Guerilla plantings of native trees Man".
I would have more sympathy if the BMP wasn't actively blocking a geothermal plant. It's this hypocrisy that makes me wish for rain and high decibels of Slayer.
