The heavy metals don’t sit around in metal form; bacteria convert them into compounds like ethyl mercury, which don’t stay put even if nominally insoluble.
And yes, pretty much anything else is cheaper than CCS; it’s basically being run as a PR exercise rather than something which is a serious attempt at reducing emissions.
Thanks for that.
You can still volunteer
It’s very much a reiteration and amplification of those views, and connecting them to the worldwide far-right movement, to try and keep the fascists out of power.
I would too, but they have almost a 100% failure rate when it comes to actually going into operation:
Per the article, somebody tried telling Trump this:
According to Baker and Glasser, Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” This correction did not move Trump to reconsider his view: “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president responded.
I’ll be doing that for sure — I’ve got a bunch of highly competitive local races that I care about.
the former permafrost becomes bog land
This can happen
the methane sink release will ignite the atmosphere.
This is a bunch of words, but not something that we’re actually facing.
The permafrost wasn’t so much a methane sink, as a place where carbon got stored. When it warms up, the decay process can generate methane, which can then be released. Under some limited conditions, you can actually even burn it when released from natural sources like this, but that’s not usually what happens — it just floats off into the atmosphere.
The atmosphere as a whole will not ignite.
Yeah, those of us living outside swing states are basically limited to kicking in money and volunteer time. I’m lucky in that I was able to catch a bus to a swing state this past weekend, and spend a couple days knocking on doors.
To the contrary: people have shifted to having to travel long distances or get pills through the mail without local medical support.
In some states (eg: Idaho) these are substantially inaccessible.
Maybe I’m confused. In any case, I don’t think i can buy them locally anymore.
It’s not a bad thing to have as a backup for a condom; the main issue is that some of the spermicides increase HIV transmission risk, so you typically don’t see condoms with spermicide in the lube anymore.
It’s not about understanding — it’s about making nice with people who wish the South had won.
It’s not about “man up” — it’s about having the votes in Congress to do it. We didn’t have that in 2009, when we last tried, and I’d be surprised if we have them now
For sure. I just don’t expect it to be durable unless we elect Harris.
The problem is that the things he can do without congressional support can be easily overturned by the next President — and the Republicans have a majority in the House of Representatives.
The paper makes it clear that it can — and it’s actually important to avoid doing things like random murder. But the kind of nonviolent acts we’ve seen so far aren’t a problem.
They also had a null result on policy support; the main impact was activating people towards more moderate activist groups.
To be fair, Trump is almost a quarter century older than Hitler was when he killed himself.
