I was curious to see how the Middle East compared, so I checked



I'm surprised the US consumption levels are almost the same, given how heavily the more prosperous countries in the ME use air conditioning and desalination. The heaviest carbon costs per person are in places like Qatar, although they don't account for much of the worldwide total.


Also found a neat infographic and article on The Guardian; can't really reproduce it here legibly without breaking tables

You're surprised by the existence of a monument? Every day when I go to work, I drive down Wade Hampton Boulevard, past Wade Hampton High School.

Then past Bob Jones University.

Palestinians wearing costumes perform to amuse children in front of a house, that witnesses said was destroyed by Israeli shelling during a 50-day war last summer, in the east of Gaza City July 8, 2015. The majority of children living in areas of Gaza hardest-hit during last year's conflict are showing signs of severe emotional distress and trauma, including frequent bed wetting and nightmares, a global children's charity said.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

That's a natural wild banana, the yellow banana has been so extensively changed by human cultivation that it's barely recognizable.

And there's so little variation in most of the cultivated crop that they could be wiped out overnight by the right fungus.

That's why you don't see the pudgier Gros Michel banana much any more, they got genocided by Panama disease, so we replaced them with the Cavendish.

The 'right fungus' in fact being a mutation of panama disease that wiped out the Gros Michel, that has been spreading around the world since the start of this year, and may well mean we'll be the last generation to know of the banana unless they manage to find a suitable replacement cultivar quick.

Pictured, a Cavandish plantation infected with Panama disease.



e: The good news is that a Taiwan university has isolated Panama-resistant Cavendish plants, and are hoping to be able to isolate the genetic structure that grants them the resistance, so we *might* be OK, but only if we accept truly GMO'ed bananas

That is a bit untrue. Gros Michel still exist and are cultivated in South East Asia. They were wiped out in the Americas. The issue is it takes too long to ship from Asia before the bananas overripen. That's why you only see bananas come from place that take less than a week to ship from: US - Central America, China/Japan - South East Asia, ect. Also Gros Michel have a thinner peel than cavendish and bruise easier.

There's hundreds of delicious cultivars so don't worry, I guarantee your children will be able to enjoy bananas. The worst case scenario is that horrors of horrors, the bananas will have a few seeds.
