CO2 being absorbed by the tomatoes, isn't that marvelous? Let's see, how long is that sequestration time we need (centuries to millenia)? How long till that tomato CO2 is released to the atmosphere (days to weeks)? Let's all sleep happy thinking of Shell as a wonderful eco-friendly partner.

But most people are idiots, too. They think: fine, Shell is doing the right thing, we are safe. Thanks for Shell! For sure there are idiots in the oil company. But most people are idiots, too.
