A new report from CNN is explaining how the lowly Halloween pumpkin-turned-jack-o’-lanterns is a major threat to the future of the world.
After all, it has the ability to take water during its growing cycle, take it on a trip to a landfill, and there it disappears FOREVER.
And don’t even think about the methane gas they produce in those landfills, causing global warming.
The report claims it is a major threat to water supplies because the jack-o’-lanterns grow with water. And when those water-containing pumpkins are put into a landfill, “We never get it back.”
Further, the decomposition of the decoration causes methane gas, and everyone knows that’s a harbinger of the end of times because of … GLOBAL WARMING.
After Halloween, millions of pumpkins rot in landfills and produce methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. An expert tells CNN how to prevent your pumpkin from contributing to climate change. #halloween #cnn #news
The video report is available on TikTok.
The report explains those innocuous Halloween pumpkins could be an “environmental nightmare.”
After all, more than a billion pounds are grown each year, and millions end up in landfills.
“Pumpkins are about 90% water. And then that water gets trapped in the landfill. And we never get it back,” the report warns.
“They’ll decompose and produce methane [pronounced MEE-thane], a greenhouse gas that compared to carbon dioxide warms the atmosphere to the same extent in a shorter amount of time.”
“It’s a big cause of climate change.”
The recommendation? Compost, or leave them in the yard for animals to eat.
A report at The Blaze commented, “Mainstream media is looking to dampen the fun of one of the longest-lasting October traditions: carving and putting out jack-o’-lanterns for Halloween.”
The report cited commentary from Beverly Jaszczurowski, CEO of Scarce, an environmental group.
The green ideology, including the global warming/climate change campaign and more, has been a dominating interest for the Biden administration.
Kamala Harris said, “If you poll how young people feel about the climate, and the warming of our planet, it polls as one of their top concerns.”
