The proposed solutions to the New Orleans saltwater incursion do not inspire confidence, but hopefully, the Army Corps of Engineers knows what they're doing. Sure can't think of any other times when they've totally screwed the pooch. From the chair of the city council:  Apparently this has happened before in 1988, but current plans are for an event that will exceed that in duration and severity. We need 36 million gallons of freshwater a day to do the dilution plan, and the Corps says they have 15 million gallons coming in by next week (but the news doesn't say if that's secured daily capacity or one-time shipments).

came up with a new idea on managing climate change, we put lots of glue in the ocean so that the poor can't sail here

Sure can't think of any other times when they've totally screwed the pooch. I don’t think it will work. They’re having to leave a notch in the sill so shipping and cruise ships can pass. That’s going to widen just like any structure set in a base as muddy as the Mississippi.

I’m a billion pages behind I just want to say the ocean reaching a saturation limit on its ability to absorb heat is such a ridiculously impossible clearly end of the world situation I expect to read the news article about it next Tuesday.

Holy poo poo!  Several decades late on that one. That's some fine science work there, EPA. fits my needs posted:reminds me of karachi during monsoons, you guys got those attachments for your cars so you can drive through the water without your engine getting flooded? Snorkels. Don't need them out here where the economy isn't, everyone drives lifted 4x4s. If the water is deep enough to flood your engine you have more immediate problems, like drowning. What happens when you immerse a large capacity Lion battery in water for an extended period of time, the kind that catches on fire if the packaging is breached, burns even more energetically if you put water on it, and makes its own oxygen so it keeps catching fire after you think it's been put out? Asking for a friend.  im_sorry posted:What's that going to do to the supply of capitalist greed powder? Coffee?

I watched The Crimson Wing: The Mystery of the Flamingoes last week. Poor move to tie your entire species to the seasonal cycle of one lake, imo.

Everyone has salt in their homes. Salt is in everything. Are you really claiming everyone's dinner table now has poison on it? That all of our houses will explode because of a simple shaker of salt?!?! What is your real plan here?!?!?!?!?!

kater posted:is it ever explained how you get gummi bears from wind turbines ? https://eepower.com/news/scientists-create-gummy-bears-from-wind-turbines There is a resin the blades are coated with that can be processed down into a multipurpose and apparently edible form. That's ignoring the metal and stuff in the blades so it isn't like they are being ground up into gummy bear powder. Most common gummy bears themselves are already made out of bones which is why they aren't vegan so it just needs to be a gelatin adjacent fibrous raw material, apparently.
