Use a proxy (like ~~Kushibo~~ neastud does). Try Unipeek or Proxify.

We’ll probably all have to imbibe a little from the Juche cauldron after all of our crops are under the sea.

Oh puh-LEASE!

I can never get that webpage to open for me here. One time the screen even threatened police action. The best I can get is Yonhap News’ “Pyongyang’s Rhetoric”, which is still pretty good.

Smarty-pants. The roots of the trees would prevent erosion, which contributes to flooding and leaves the soil infertile. It would also help the soil rebuild its layer of humus.

And if they planted more trees they’d have more bark to eat.

Well, I guess my previous post shows that you should double check before hitting “Post Comment”.

A common way to offset one’s own carbon dioxide emissions is to plant trees. I don’t see this happening anytime soon in North Korea, after all, they’ve had reason to plant trees for years. Deforestation, after all, is to blame for much of the famine in North Korea as it contributes to erosion and flooding. How many million North Koreans have starved? What has the North Korean government done about it? Nothing. Most North Korean mountains remain barren.

Considering that relatively few North Koreans own automobiles or clothes dryers, take recreational trips on airplanes, or purchase immoderate amounts of consumer goods, most citizens of that country leave a very small carbon footprint. I suppose that open fires might be most persons’ only notable connection to the production of carbon emissions.

They can take of that problem by making monetary payments to research facilities in order to offset the carbon emmisions they are personally responsible for.

Problem solved - high five!

What’s KJI’s solution? Kill more people. Less people, less pollution. I’m sure some environmental groups will get on board if it’s marketed properly.
