Not done until someone turns the Adriatic into an endlessly recursive series of smaller Mediterraneans.

What's really damning about that tweeting style is that wikipedia posted:The Zanclean flood or Zanclean deluge is a flood theorized to have refilled the Mediterranean Sea 5.33 million years ago. Is a way better intro, and sets up a much better "what the gently caress" reaction than anything in that thread.

This is because those Wikipedia pages are really, really boring, and an annoying presentation method is going to get through to people better than a boring one. Also, it's social media. Being annoying is practically the point.

Wikipedia posted:Sea level rise in the basin may have reached rates at times greater than ten metres per day (thirty feet per day). Imagining an entire settlement continuously relocating every few days while that one rear end in a top hat stayed behind because they're "not afraid of a little water". (I realize this event was before humans, but that was still the image that came to mind).

Strom Cuzewon posted:What's really damning about that tweeting style is that The Messinian salinity crisis is bonkers from start to finish. It's estimated that due to adiabatic processes from the katabatic winds blowing into the basin, temperatures in the Eastern Mediterranean would reach about 80 ºC/190 ºF. And then once the sea refilled, the rivers feeding into the basin probably flooded into large estuaries as far as hundreds of miles inland. Even today, the Nile is incredibly wide and navigable all the way to the first cataract at Aswan. TinTower has a new favorite as of 21:20 on Feb 11, 2022 |

Solid chance we can see something similar on a smaller scale in 100 years when the Floridian dike network fails due to Florida.

That's nuts, but yeah, I guess there's an awful long way down for the air to go when a sea just dries up. Also Wikipedia says that it's likely to reoccur in the near future in geological time

There are signs for washing machine powder round me that say "If the entire UK switched to cold-washes we could save as much emissions as removing all the cars in [this city]" Which tells me nothing. It's comparing one unknowable thing to another unknowable thing, albeit one that feels kind of large (but isn't). It's infuriating.

It's estimated that due to adiabatic processes from the katabatic winds blowing into the basin, temperatures in the Eastern Mediterranean would reach about 80 ºC/190 ºF. Speaking of those rivers, the while the Mediterranean was an endorheic basin, the Nile carved something akin to the Grand Canyon. It was buried under miles of mud when the basin filled and the gradient of the river suddenly decreased.
