if there's anything i know about batteries, it's that they are made up of lead, acid, and crabs. so we're basically turning the ocean into a big battery? drat maybe humanity is smarter than i thought

We don't have any data for massive glaciers falling into the sea, so really how can say either way? The universe remains a mystery.

Wasn't there an article recently about how it turns out that the way they calculated iceberg melting for climate modeling had been wrong for as long as they've been doing it

Anyway my girlfriend just got back from having to go to a funeral in LA and I feel like the thread would appreciate this exchange where she was considering a nap at a rest stop but was slightly worried about if falling asleep in the car in the heat would be safe.

I had not heard of this wood pellet industry because nobody does that around here, but apparently this is a big thing in Europe and viewed as a good alternative clean fuel. Turns out to be straight bullshit, they are just clear cutting forests and grinding the whole tree up when the price is good

lol! California on my mind.

A few years ago we were camping at a place somewhere in southwestern Cali called Success Lake. We pitched our tent in the "shade" but it didn't matter, it was like trying to sleep on a stove. Not a restful night.

Didn't help that Success Lake was overrun by giant cockroaches. There was also a huge fat happy toad in the showers. Not sure where she fit in the metaphor but she'd definitely found her niche.

apparently they’re not crabs. have some horseshoe theory:

quote:

The subphylum Chelicerata (from New Latin, from French chélicère, from Ancient Greek χηλή (khēlḗ) 'claw, chela', and κέρας (kéras) 'horn')[1] constitutes one of the major subdivisions of the phylum Arthropoda. It contains the sea spiders, horseshoe crabs, and arachnids (including harvestmen, scorpions, spiders, solifuges, ticks, and mites, among many others), as well as a number of extinct lineages, such as the eurypterids (sea scorpions) and chasmataspidids

I was just reading about this a few months ago, so many people live in the lahar flow zones of Rainier it's kind of crazy:



When you climb up Mt Rainier you hear rockslides from all the rumbling and movement near the top, it's really cool.

When it comes to a volcano that is as closely monitored as Mount Rainier, yeah kind of. When a volcano is properly monitored there are ton of indicators that will tell whether or not a volcano is getting ready to erupt. Unless there is a significant magma intrusion, with accompanying earthquakes and land uplift, there isn't going to be any eruption. If there is an ongoing magma intrusion, then it's going to be detected in a volcano as closely monitored as Mount Rainier. They're never going to be able to say "the volcano is going to erupt on September 9th at 19:43 pacific time" or something like that, but if there's a magma intrusion causing a significant risk of eruption it's going to be picked up on, and the volcanos threat level will be increased.
