Fucking idiot.

Maybe they meant to say “terrorised targets”?

1. They don’t.

3. ? What?

Could be useful if you have a spray can that has lost its rattle.

The type of tree for one. Replacing ancient forest will not keep the diversity. The effectiveness for two; round here they planted hundreds of thousands of trees to offset a new bypass, but it was the wrong time of year and they pretty much all died.

Fucking dimwits.

On the plus side, the planet might be habitable for a little while longer.
