Add bogs to that list. Worldwide, bogs store more CO2 than forests. Restoring them and making sure they don’t dry up (which also would release a lot of gases harmful to the climate) would be a good way to capture CO2.

I don’t have any numbers to compare it to other techniques though, sorry.

There really is no news story here other than a wild right-wing conspiracy theory.

There are tens of thousands candidates in this election with 17 known deaths among the candidates, 7 of which are AfD candidates. This might seem high at first glance, but since there is no central institution keeping track of this, there might be more deaths for the other parties that are just not known. Also, as others have pointed out, many AfD candidates are older men. One of the dead was 80, two others around 70.

I wish these conspiracy theories weren’t just casually echoed in headlines and social media.

Well, you got me there.

^(Actually the ratio can’t be calculated, since #a/#consonants = 1/0 and you can’t divide by 0 ^and ^that’s ^totally ^why ^I ^didn’t ^mention ^it…)

Wikipedia says so, so it must be true!

I guess we are entering the philosophical level of “what is an English word?” now. I don’t think I’m the right person to judge since I’m neither a native speaker nor a linguist. I’m fine with disqualifying ara.

Ara has twice as many As per consonant. Am and at have the same ratio as banana. But I’ll admit that two letter words is cheating.
