The "garbage about greenhouse gases" that you want us to believe is
spread by the fossil carbon extraction industry, who want to keep on
digging up and selling huge amounts of fossil carbon to be burnt as fuel.
The mass of fossil carbon involved is orders of magnitude larger than
the mass of material that being junked as consumer electronics, which is
easy enough to recycle. Landfill is just land to be mined by the next
generation.
Extra CO2 in the atmosphere is having nasty effects on the climate right
now. Junked electronics in landfill doesn't do anything.
Do please grow up. Your petulant ignorance is irritating.
