isn’t that not how gravitational acceleration works? like a stone brick and a plastic brick both feel the same rate of acceleration.

Anyway I was going to make a crack about how the thread favorite theory that this all happened before on Venus was impossible because it would be way more hosed up with solar shades and god knows what else that would still be observable, but then I figured oh they would certainly deorbit on geologic timescales and so I asked the question because Fridays are for posting

At a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

And the thing I like about it the most is, it means the system is beginning to collapse, and everything is slowly breaking down. I enjoy chaos and disorder, not just because they help me professionally, they're also my hobby, you see, I'm an entropy fan. I'm an entropy fan, when I first heard of entropy in high school science I was attracted to it immediately. When they told me that in nature all systems are breaking down, I thought what a good thing, what a good thing, perhaps I can make some small contribution in this area myself.

Is the doubt that we'd scorpion the frog at the last minute or that capacity is too puzzling. we had it. the scale was not daunting before we abandoned ship and raised a generation where being a nuclear engineer involves sourcing parts for westinghouse or moving elsewhere.

American scandal did a series of episodes about three mile island that pretty much convinced me that humans might indeed not be capable of managing something with the combination of complexity and dramatic failure potential as nuclear power.

Obviously that’s a very old reactor design, operating under capitalist contradictions, but goddamn if the series of failures isn’t something I see all the time. For me the key parameter is the worst possible failure mode of the reactor design. If we can get it to be on par with like, one a containment failure of those coal generator fly ash waste pits that completely poisons everything around it then it’s probably ok I guess? We should obviously give it a shot regardless since fossil fuels are going to sterilize the whole planet and there’s a chance of everything going right with nuclear.

quote:

"We found that trees in warmer, drier climates are essentially coughing instead of breathing," said Max Lloyd, assistant research professor of geosciences at Penn State and lead author on the study recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "They are sending CO2 right back into the atmosphere far more than trees in cooler, wetter conditions."

Through the process of photosynthesis, trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere to produce new growth. Yet, under stressful conditions, trees release CO2 back to the atmosphere, a process called photorespiration. With an analysis of a global dataset of tree tissue, the research team demonstrated that the rate of photorespiration is up to two times higher in warmer climates, especially when water is limited.

They found the threshold for this response in subtropical climates begins to be crossed when average daytime temperatures exceed roughly 68 degrees Fahrenheit and worsens as temperatures rise further.
