an even more frightening perspective
Re: an even more frightening perspective
Also moving over land is more expensive, which may curb demand. There is a fine balance between price and production (but you already knew that). Oil needs to be above around $60/barrel for fracking to break even

Genetically engineered microbes convert waste plastic into vanillin
fyi, vanillin is the primary component in the extract of the vanilla bean

Ever since I clicked the link, my car keys will stick to my neck.
Somebody explain that to me.

Public Service Announcement: vanillin is to vanilla as flesh light is to sex. It’s one aspect……
Seriously though, the breakthrough is a really big deal not because of the product but the substrate, and the future direction that has been opened. For years we (organic chemists) thought that the only way to break down polystyrene and other plastics was to convert them to carbon dioxide and water by incineration. Compounds like vanillin are useful chemical feedstock.

The sea level rise to date is “really a nothing number”, said Martinez, who told Sweet: “You’re a little bit more on this CO2 side, I’m more on the actual measurement side.” Another commissioner, David Rice, said that “predicting the future is probably best done with a crystal ball” and speculated that global temperatures could change following several volcanic eruptions.

Maybe i should move to Florida where my intellectual peers (rivals?) seem to flourish.

Re: an even more frightening perspective
Desantis is the worst of the worst because he knows he is evil and revels in it. Taking money to murder people and cripple his own state's ability to compete in the future. Republicans have mostly all gone to a place where even the Visigoths would not. It is simple greed. Exxon-Mobile will funnel money to the promenade deck on the Titanic until underwater.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 7:14 pm what in the absolute fuck?!?!

Closing the Gap
We can stop the extinction crisis, but we have to fully fund conservation first.
Considering the long arc of human inquiry, the concept of biodiversity is relatively new. Charles Darwin laid the foundation when he expounded on natural selection and devised the evolutionary tree of life in the mid-19th century—yet biodiversity only joined the scientific lexicon as a well-developed concept in the 1980s. Recently though, the loss of biodiversity has accelerated. From 1970 to 2016 there was a nearly 70% average decline in populations of birds, amphibians, mammals, fish and reptiles. And by the year 2070, research suggests, the Earth could lose a third or more of its species if steps aren’t taken now to stop it. Many threatened species are the plants, insects, birds, microorganisms and marine life that underpin human survival.
That’s why scientists, conservationists and global visionaries have issued an urgent call to preserve the planet’s biodiversity, and financial expert Henry M. Paulson Jr. is among them. Doing so is possible, he insists, if governments and the private sector combine efforts to transform how economies work—to insert sustainability into the everyday business of the world.
Paulson brings a finance perspective to the question of how to save biodiversity. He was raised on a small farm in Illinois, where he grew to love nature. But he’s more commonly known as a former CEO of the investment bank Goldman Sachs and the former U.S. Treasury Secretary who helped stabilize the American economy after the financial crisis of 2008. He served as a member of The Nature Conservancy’s global board of directors and, more recently, he has led the Paulson Institute, a “think-and-do tank” with the goal of building a more sustainable world and fostering healthier ties between the U.S. and Chinese economies...
