People are bad at comparing, say, 10k tons of solid waste to 10M tons of CO2. That doesn't mean that they are equally bad. I think it's fine not to talk about

People are bad at comparing, say, 10k tons of solid waste to 10M tons of CO2. That doesn't mean that they are equally bad. I think it's fine not to talk about it because people will easily get stupid ideas like renewables being just as bad for the environment. Cost, land / real estate, storage, and transport are some real problems.
