However, not everyone thinks ocean-based carbon removal is such a good idea. “Marine CO2 removal is simply too risky,” says Mary Church, geoengineering campaign manager at the Center for International Environmental Law (Ciel), a non-profit environmental law firm based in Geneva, Switzerland. “It could alter ocean chemistry, causing changes in nutrient levels and species abundance, with significant consequences for ecosystems.” Others are concerned about the feasibility of marine carbon removal, and whether it could really put a significant dent in emissions.

Ocean-based carbon removal would similarly attempt to store additional carbon in the ocean, but it has not yet been widely used or thoroughly tested. It is on the rise, however, with tens of millions of dollars pouring into the sector, including from some of the biggest names in tech, such as Microsoft and Shopify, as well as several airlines.

James Kerry, a marine and climate scientist at OceanCare, a marine conservation non-profit based in Switzerland, and James Cook University in Australia, says large-scale marine CO2 removal could harm the important role oceans play in climate, food security and oxygen production. Marine CO2 removal technologies pose “significant threats to human rights and the environment, especially at scale”, he says.

“At a scale to meaningfully impact the climate, marine CO2 removal would be inherently unpredictable and pose significant, new and unprecedented risks to the fragile ecosystems that sustain life on Earth,” says Church. “It does nothing to address the root causes of the climate crisis. Instead, it creates the illusion of a quick ‘fix’, delaying real solutions to the climate crisis and prolonging reliance on fossil fuels.”

“Critically, CO2 removal is not a substitute for emissions reductions,” he added, pointing to scientific findings that both reduction emissions and CO2 removal will be needed. “If we’re going to have a shot at keeping warming in check, we need carbon removal solutions that can meet the urgency of the climate crisis.”

I wish the reasons why geoengineering might not be such a good idea weren’t so spread out throughout the article

I think the point is that it’s a lot easier to “accidentally” hit someone with a car

effect verb

1 : to cause to come into being

2 a : to bring about often by surmounting obstacles : accomplish effect a settlement of a dispute

b : to put into operation

Effect is a perfectly fine verb. It’s wrong in this case, but it doesn’t imply the use of special effects.

Seems to cover what you’re asking about. Found it from here if you want to see some people discussing it for some context.

How do you know “somehow Palpatine returned” wasn’t the plan from the beginning?

Not to mention billboards, whose only purpose is to distract drivers and take their eyes off the road.

They also tried to pull people in by releasing a new game for free every week (even AAA titles!), which was actually the coolest thing they ever did.

You’re using the past tense, but they’re very much still giving away games for free. On a related note for OP, I’m pretty sure amazon prime gives away games for free too, so if you don’t know where to start, you can always start with something that doesn’t cost you anything (extra, assuming you have prime).

Many people in my Tesla have janked the emergency handle, rather than clicking the button to get out without any emergency, there isn’t any Door handle, there is the emergency handle… Which kinda proves my point and your outrage comment proves you haven’t even been in a Tesla yet comment on “it’s bad design”.

That might be true for the front seat, but what about the back? I doubt you’d have 4 passengers all up front with you in the passenger seat.

I’ve never been in a Tesla, but according to the owner’s manual the emergency release for the back seat is a cable behind a hidden panel, and not all models actually have that hidden panel.

Opening a Rear Door with No Power

You can open a rear door manually (if equipped) in the unlikely situation in which Model Y has no power:

• Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket.
• Press the red tab to remove the access door.
• Pull the mechanical release cable forward.

Note

Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors.

Opening the front doors seems easy enough in the user manual, but opening the back doors requires you to remove a hidden panel then pull a cable, but not all versions of the car even have that hidden panel. Assuming the one in this article did, the car owner would need to give a little safety briefing to every passenger if you want to expect them to know how to open the door. And I’m really not sure what you’re expected to do if you have a kid in a carseat in the back.

Steins;Gate and its sequel movie Steins;Gate: The Movie − Load Region of Déjà Vu

The lines of the tree trunk and lamppost shadows all converge toward where the sun is, if extended toward it.

I’m pretty sure that’s not true

Edit: I’ll concede the other points though

The tree on the right has that block missing in its shadow, the trees on the left are casting their shadows in a slightly different direction, and they guy on the dirt path’s shadow seems too dark and clear. Once you pointed out something was wrong, it’s hard not to see other mistakes.

Considering what the original seal looks like, it’s obvious they’ve made some changes to simplify the design. But I wouldn’t jump to AI, especially since the fabric it’s printed on is distorted.

I wouldn’t expect the economics of private jets to work out either, and yet…

You’re barely even paraphrasing, that’s almost a direct quote.

Trump: ‘If We Stop Testing, We’d Have Fewer Cases’

Trump: ‘If we didn’t do testing, we’d have no cases’

If we did very little testing, we wouldn’t have the most cases. So, in a way, by doing all of this testing, we make ourselves look bad.

Trump on coronavirus testing: ‘If we stopped testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any’

I’m not sure why you included it then. The open secrets link makes me think you wanted to prove

Because Greens take insane amounts of donations from right wing donors, don’t have any issues getting investments in big oil

But I really can’t confirm anything just based on some peoples’ names.

The open secret link is just showing individuals that have donated more than $200, and the morningstar link doesn’t mention the green party at all.

It’s important to know that both the FDA and the USDA are in charge of inspecting food, and which food is covered by which agency can be complicated.

FSIS [under the USDA] conducts continuous daily inspections of foods in its domain, whereas FDA inspections have no regular schedule. The FDA is more likely to inspect only after a tip about a possible food safety violation, so random inspections can occur up to 10 years apart or, in rare cases, not at all.

“It’s not that they don’t want to inspect more, they just don’t have the funding,” Raymond says.

This inspection imbalance means that pepperoni pizza, because it contains meat, has ingredients that will be inspected three times before the product hits the grocery store freezer: at the slaughterhouse, the packing plant and the pizza factory. A vegetarian pizza produced at the same facility, however, will probably not undergo any inspection.

And in regard to the FDA being not allowed to regulate:

[The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994] placed the burden of proof concerning dietary supplement safety on FDA, requiring the agency to show that a dietary supplement ingredient is adulterated rather than requiring the manufacturer to prove a supplement is safe prior to marketing. This is in contrast to new food additives, which require submission of safety information in a food additive petition prior to marketing, or drugs, which generally require submission of safety data as part of a new drug application prior to marketing.

At least with dietary supplements, they can’t make a new product guarantee it’s safe, the FDA needs to already know something is dangerous before it can force a recall.
