We have excess emissions of that around here and I wish our government would pass laws making it illegal. It is causing aerosol formations in the sky which are blocking the sunlight. This is causing seasonal affective disorder which is propelling drug usage.
I don’t know what these people were thinking, driving into a violent protest that has been going on for months.
What did they say to the rock-throwing crowd, “we’re botanists and we’re here to save you?”
“Back off, man, I’m a scientist!”
I highly doubt that the rabid crowds raging about had the slightest clue as to what they were doing there, let alone knowing what a “botanist” is.
These people drove into a crowd that was in a frenzy and being driven by pure bloodlust. The mob was looking for any convenient victim to slaughter.
Maybe that’s how the eggplant that ate Chicago got its start.
Michael Crichton Analogy regarding CO2.
“If, says one of Crichton’s characters, the elements of our atmosphere were measured in terms of a football field, nitrogen would take us from the goal to the 78 yard line.
Oxygen would take us from there to the 99-yard line.
Most of the yard remaining consists of argon. Argon takes us to within 3 inches of the goal. Only one inch of the remaining three is made up of carbon dioxide. One inch in 100 yards.
“In the last 50 years, we’re told, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. But in this analogy, it has increased only 3/8 inch, “less than the thickness of a pencil,” meaning that it is “a miniscule change in our total atmosphere.”
No kidding. Had two invites for seminars this year, didn’t go to either once I knew they were in Chicago.
Good one! Thanks!
Victim of her misguided good will. Would this be considered an old school chimp-out?
...until you know everything about nothing.
Mauna Loa? The NOAA measures atmospheric CO2 at an active volcano?
