White House pushes “wooden skyscrapers” as a solution to global warming. Hmmm… wood is made from trees and trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and replace it with oxygen. So maybe making everything out of wood is not really the best idea if carbon dioxide is a problem. But it’s a great way to suck up to Big Lumber.

food for mice and rats.
Didn't they try that in Shitago and San Flamesico with very poor results? Wooden skyscrapers, what will this bunch come up with next? Row boats for crossing oceans with exports or imports?
But, Rosie O is in favor of this because you can't melt wood with fire.
:-D
Poor Mrs. O'Leary's Bovine Scapegoat still getting the blame for that one?
Her cow still gets the blame, yes.
They're scratching for votes is all. I predict they'll dump billions into what they see as winnable battleground states where big lumber is a big employer. They did the same to guarantee victory with the auto industry. The rhinos will wind up with jizz on their collective faces. Again....
I ain't lookin, but is the word "bipartisan" in the article?
What's next, apartment buildings made of corrugated tin sheets like in Cuba?
It is becoming more obvious that this resident is trying to turn us back to a 3rd world shithole, like his beloved home in Kenya.
How "third world" of them.
Konqreet and steal be rayciss.
Towering wooden idols to a bunch of towering idiots. I guess they never saw any of the pictures of what happens to wooden structures after a Hurricane or a fire.
Not to mention termites.
I'm sorry, but I think this is a really GOOD idea! A wooden sky scraper with it's spire reaching for the sky... Perhaps if there were one built and named for each politician in Washington DC the Politicians would be happy?
Then, just impale each politician on their own skyscrapers spire! AWESOME! Stuff Harry Reid on top of one, Obama could have the one with the biggest spire. Mooch could have one also, even though she's not an elected politician. This is the best idea I've had in a long while. Pelosi sitting on a sharp building spire...100 feet above ground. What a wonderful concept.
They would look like sickly gargoyles......
This "Global Warming/Climate Change" movement gets dumber by the day. Tulip Mania of the 1600's & the flat earthers now have a challenger to their idiocy. They are on the podium with those dolts.
WTF? Seriously, WTF? Wooden buildings are an "emerging technology" to these people?
Obama wants us to live in mud huts, eat poo, and send all our money to the goobermint...that appears to be the plan
