Ischemic stroke. About 700,000

Can vouch that this is true…I had a stroke about 5 years ago while sitting in my office reading e-mails. This is why I have a cardiologist!

Getting fired from a job.

Spending my last years in an old folk's home watching everybody around me die and hoping my name is called next.

That SFP is actually a competent attorney.

“If CO2 leaked into ground water,all that would happen is that your water would be carbonated right from the tap!”

You wish.They’re talking about pumping metric tons of pressurized CO2 underground.CO2 in contact with water forms carbonic acid.
There are large collections of salt water brine lying under freshwater aquifers.If the pressurized CO2 leaks it can propel the brine into freshwater aquifers thereby making the water unusable.

What makes the process particularly dangerous in Louisiana is the fact there are thousands of abandoned orphan wells which will provide a conduit for CO2 to escape.

My position is if there is a 1% chance of the aquifers being ruined it’s not worth it,CO2 is not the existential threat to humanity that the climate activists say it is.

There are other uses for CO2 being developed that present no dangers.Belgium,for instance,has developed a process for making bricks.Raw bricks are placed in pressure chambers,CO2 is pumped in and in 48 hours the bricks are cured.
Northwestern University in Illinois is working on a process for curing concrete that looks promising.

I don’t know what you’re talking about me getting my information from KALB.I rarely ever watch KALB.

Dying from burning or drowning. Given how much an occasional burn hurts, suffering severe burns over a majority of my body is unimaginable. Likewise, when liquid sometimes "goes down the wrong pipe" when taking a drink of water, because my windpipe closes out of what I suppose is a reflex reaction, being momentarily unable to draw a breath nearly causes a panic attack.

A) being burned alive or B) opening the attachment in the email from my insurance company with my home owners insurance policy renewal in it

Remember seeing something about folks being scared of 1) Registered Mail, 2) Ghosts and 3) Dogs.
