The fact that humans have always owned land is a meaningless argument. We can all decide to use a better system for anything if we agree on it.

The article proposes taxing the unimproved value of land at 100% which I think gets around that problem totally.

The title is technically correct but its second interpretation (the correct one) is not the most obvious one so it is misleading.

Is this necessarily a bad thing? Naturally occurring insect habitats don't get cleaned out, right?

I'm curious which method you're referring to when you talk about one country unilaterally stopping global warming.

The study you linked did not measure CO2.

Isn't it a fair question to ask though whether the average BMI of those with a "normal BMI" (18.5-24.9) changed during the time frames of interest? And if it did, couldn't that sti…

5 Wits makes escape room like experiences that have multiple different endings. This allows for some degree of replayability.

*..."In Wildfire-Prone California" The study says it could apply to other semi-arid environments as well. Interesting study but the qualifier is definitely necessary.
