sinkingship

One of those articles that make you feel disgusted about the world we live in.

Thank you to all those scientists trying to throw the rudder around, that get bullied, while trying to save fellow humans.

As far as I understood, it'll leak into the atmosphere, where it'll cause 80 or 100 times more warming than CO² for a decade or so, before breaking down into good, old CO², causing further warming for centuries / millennia.

Not sure, but I think I've also read that in the process of breaking down into CO², the ozone layer gets damaged.

But if CCS operations leak, they can pose significant risks to water resources. That’s because pressurized CO2 stored underground can escape or propel brine trapped in the saline reservoirs typically used for permanent storage. The leaks can lead to heavy metal contamination and potentially lower pH levels, all of which can make drinking water undrinkable.

Can someone explain this to me in a easy way?

As a layman I would be worried of large amounts of CO² suddenly leaking near where people live. But how does it make water undrinkable? I thought some people like their drinks with CO². And where do the heavy metals come from?

I recently read somewhere that it's actually just very few bee species that die after stinging, among them honeybees. They have a barbed stinger that gets stuck while most bees have flat stingers and can sting repeatedly.

It's not any snake, but some species that are adapted to living on trees. It's also not really flying. Gliding would describe what they do better. As they jump, they flatten their body and make slither movements through the air, gliding maybe at a 45 angle downwards.

I wish I had been old enough during the time we could've still made changes to make a difference.

Why? When you cared back then the frustration must have been at least the same it is now. The hope might have been bigger, but at the same time, you would have been part of a very small minority. And I think it would have been hard to endure that almost nobody you know thinks similarly. You might have been the only doomer they know. And how fast we manage to screw up our planet, you would have likely gotten old enough to come to the same conclusion you came to now: we won't make it.

Someone, who ridicules people for some characteristic while they are in the process of improving that characteristic, has understood so little about life.

As always I will keep reading about every year's COP. However, by now my expectation is, that there won't be much, if anything at all, that I need to know about the COP.

Aren't these changes, because there are just have bones to look at, so skin properties etc are a guessing game?

But how did that jaw bone double in length in 2001? Was the skull a missing part until then?

Thank you, I didn't consider that he himself could have politicized sexuality first.

In that case it sounds more like a "rules for thee, but not for me" thing, which makes perfectly sense to point out!

Sorry, I am not from the US. So this guy consumed porn. And what? Relax people!

Might sound weird to prude people, but most politicians had sex before! Some may have kinks! Why do people care about other people's sex life, if they aren't attracted to them?

And what has this to do with a community called politics? I don't get it.

Edit: wow, many replies! Thank you all for educating. If this man is saying people shouldn't consume porn, then yes, you are all right and it's a controversy that makes sense to shine some light on. I didn't think about that.

As I understood it, the dashed line is just the 35°C wet bulb temperature line.

I think it's the "old assumed border of survivability" and don't know if it is based solely on mathematics or on other experiments as well.

I also don't know on how many individuals the new line is based and what age group the older people one is.
