Microplastics posted:https://www.smh.com.au/national/revealed-car-industry-s-secret-emissions-plan-would-slow-electric-vehicle-uptake-20220805-p5b7pe.html I think this is actually a net positive. Given that Australian electricity is generated by coal and dingo farts this saves us going through the whole handwaving performative art thing of capture at source. Why did I write that? If dingo farts are as gnarly as dingos look they'd have the average audibly flatulent black lab cowering in terror. Terrible thought. Sorry.

They do however provide a wonderful substrate for biofilm if you leave them for an extended period of time. At this point though I'm pretty sure that just makes your gut biome more interesting.

Spent some time today in a river bed poking at Upper Cretaceous fossils and thinking about mass extinction events. Young couple came down the trail, eyed the young children in the group and went somewhere else to get naked. Someday we will join the Cretaceous clams embedded in rock and getting splashed with reproductive secretions. mawarannahr posted:maybe but it’s not going to stick anymore At least there's that.

I mean if we're going to be pumping water we might as well just add another storage pond and pump the water that would be going out into that instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBvclVcesEE He gets into how they conserve water at ~5 minutes right now how things work is that they have a few storage tanks in each lock that store most of the water that is used in each run through the locks. If we're going to pump any water, then it would make more sense to pump the last little bit of water out of the locks instead of risking contaminating the upstream waterways with saltwater when boats are going upstream

I don't think we need to worry about humans using rain barrels in regards to rainwater being forever toxic now. I think at least a few animals require rainwater. Might be bad if they all start dying off.

New weather just droppedhttps://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20220810-france-s-wildfire-crisis-worsens-as-heatwave-is-blamed-on-double-jet-stream posted:Wildfires continue to rage in south-western France, destroying at least 16 houses, burning 6,000 hectares of land and forcing the evacuation of almost 6,000 people. Scientists blame the extreme weather on a "double jet stream" meteorological event that has trapped warm air over western Europe. https://i.imgur.com/yS9A72u.mp4 nature posted:Both frequency and cumulative intensity of heatwaves show a much faster increasing rate in Europe compared to the rest of the midlatitudes for the large majority of land grid points (Fig. 1c, d). In particular, heatwave days show a mean increase over Europe of +0.61 days/decade, compared to +0.21 days/decade for the rest of the midlatitudes (Fig. 1c), constituting a ~3 times faster rate for Europe.
