Somehow I feel like “I was just following orders” is going to be a sufficient defense in this case.

Facebook somehow makes about $18 per person on the planet in ad revenue.

Norway is 5 million people or $90 million/year all else being equal.

$100k/day is $36.5 million/year.

So, it’s less than it should be by probably a factor of 4-5, but still not so small they won’t feel it

And the ruskies are using them in civilian targets.

Beyond that, know what else has a chance of exploding well after the war and injuring or killing someone?

You know what both Ukrain and Russia have already use many thousands more of than Ukraine has been issued cluster munitions?

You know what no one is moralizing about so hard they shit their pants?

I don’t think it was even that. He was so 100% going to lose the fight to not buy Twitter that even for someone with his resources it wasn’t worth fighting. He made a weak attempt to embarrass Twitter into backing out due to public opinion, but didn’t really have any options after that. He just fucked up that magnificently with the initial contract.

You’re right and you’re wrong.

You’re right that methane emissions are a bigger problem than CO2 and they are drastically underestimated.

You’re wrong in dismissing CO2. Regardless of North American emissions, atmospheric CO2 ppm is increasing and we need it to decrease. Afforestation is one of the only reasonable ways to achieve CO2 reduction. Climate modeling also suggests that more forests could have other beneficial effects(increased rain, local temperature stability in shorter heat spikes) in attenuating extreme weather beyond CO2 drawdown.

Macron’s government really trying to deserve the “cheese eating surrender monkeys” moniker.
