    Hey now, killing all those people in the Middle East was worth it, wasn’t it? I mean, if the US hadn’t invaded Afghanistan, it would probably still be controlled by the Taliban to this very day! Good thing we avoided that scenario, right?

      Humans are some of the worst polluters, so killing all those Middle Easterners saved thousands of tons of CO2 emissions! /s

        I’ve read that Ghengis Khan, while he was responsible for the killing of 20–40 million people, that actually resulted in the lowering of global CO2 levels and led to reforestation in many parts of the world. So maybe a little genocide every now and then helps… (I’m not seriously suggesting this)
