for reference, seawater has a dissolved ion concentration of 35 grams per liter, or 35 parts per thousand. 154,000 chloride parts per million is 154 parts per thousand. the wells are creating marshes of water that's more than four times saltier than seawater edit: probably acidic as gently caress too SixteenShells has issued a correction as of 18:26 on Apr 1, 2024 |

Federal worker protection regulations say that exposure to hydrogen sulfide should not exceed 20 ppm. Low-level exposure can cause eye irritation. Large-scale exposure can cause headaches, convulsions, and comas. Among the report’s other findings were elevated arsenic, radium levels ten times those of federal drinking water standards, and trace amounts of hydrocarbons typically found in oil reservoirs, not freshwater aquifers.

Getting real confused by this weather. In a single week it's gone from weather so cold you need a heater to weather so hot and muggy you need air conditioning. Usually multiple times throughout a single day. It's 40 degrees warmer than it was a few days ago. Luckily plants are known for evolving so they should be fine.

Microplastics posted:Well yeah the climate is like a gambling machine, after it has paid out a mild winter you won't get another one for a while I have no idea of the origin but this is actually a widespread belief. Growing up I heard this a lot from old people so it seemed like there was this idea the climate saves up winter charges like a videogame and the winter gets stronger the longer nature charges up for it's move. 5 years of mild weather = 5x as bad super winter in year 6. Also a drought just means nature is charging up for super rain. A cool summer means next year will be 10,000 degrees. Some kind of primitive caveman reasoning we do. Ideas like this will die with the concept of rigid seasonal weather but it will take awhile. We are still in the early days so people are going to keep claiming Winter is Just Resting Up in the same way they can still claim heat killing crops are just freak heatwaves that happen sometimes and next year is Business As Usual.

Regression toward the mean is a real thing when the events are drawn from the same distribution. There's a reason climate oscillations exist. That said though when you've pushed the entire system over the edge into a higher energy state, the old mean isn't a thing anymore.

It's also something that's extremely vulnerable to confirmation bias. There will (probably lol) be another harsh winter wherever you live, so the thing you're expecting to happen will eventually happen. You just conveniently forget that the number of mild winters between harsh winters is increasing or that you've shifted your expectations so that now those 2" of snow are pretty harsh.

I used to believe people would be frog-boiled by slow changes until chart decided to sack tap us all and remind us we really don't know poo poo about how the climate system is going to respond to being shot up with the planetary equivalent of speedballs

that was quick also not_that_bad_yet.txt https://thewalrus.ca/seven-truths-climate-crisis/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us quote:In 2008, I wrote a book called Climate Wars, about the science and the geopolitics of climate change, and for a couple of years afterward, I had a sort of intermittent double vision. In my mind’s eye, I would suddenly see the three-degree-hotter world overlaid on the world that existed at that time. Such afflictions, however, can usually be cured by a judicious combination of outdoor exercise and good wine. But when I immersed myself in that world again more than a decade later, I did notice that some of the scientists I’d met the first time around now seemed a bit more—what’s the word?—distracted. Not actual waking visions, you understand. Just moments lost in thought.
