There's research into this. Release to atmosphere from buried logs is minimal if done with that aim in mind: https://cbmjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1750-0... It's not onerous either, a hec

After much fanfare near the beginning of the article about tackling climate change, part way into this it mentions the trees reaching maturity and indirectly that they can then be successfully logged. Which means such plantings are little m

Reminds me of the US-based mask manufacturer who refused to scale up in the early stages of the pandemic, citing previous times he'd done so only to be left in the lurch when demand dried up. His main point (IIRC) was the strong confli

You can follow this pattern right down to the individual level, too. We train and work as deep specialists at the expense of general capabilities down to and including our ability to provide the basics of life without sourcing them from tho

Energy descent is another interesting angle - We know for a fact that the rate of replacement of fossil fuels is orders of magnitude below the rate at which we've been consuming it, and that there is no equal which will allow our ener

All good points. Another clear lesson from the pandemic: Achieving optimum outcomes is severely bounded by practical political realities - Consider if every single country had hard locked down, everywhere, for 6+ weeks. Perhaps complete eli

We certainly need to do both - Simply stopping all carbon emissions tomorrow still locks us into historical carbon emissions that will have unpleasant effects on the global climate. Sucking carbon out of the air while also pumping it up the

I'll echo this - The technological developments we need to sequester gigatonnes of carbon at the level that it would make a difference already exists and are in common use, at scale, today. In my assessment most work on novel carbon

There are some confounding factors to that though, I think? Infectivity post mortem (as seen with plague) and time lag between infectivity and symptoms appearing allowing for longer periods of asymptomatic transmission. Both variables that

The truth is 'it's complicated' and that cuts both ways. If you have the time, assessing what is and isn't worth doing based on your location is a better approach than just blanket recycling=bad or recycling=good. For ex

I'm unclear on how this supports a theory of pre-bacterial formation. Yes I've been in a coal mine. What a strange stat check.

The pre-bacteria theory is pretty shaky fyi. There is evidence for relevant biomass-degrading bacteria being ubiquitous at the times of coal/oil formation. A more plausible theory imo is that geological conditions in the paleozoec&#x2F

inflatable pool/yard toys are for some reason extremely susceptible to this. Like those paddling pools where the image shows a whole family playing in it, when in reality your kid can maybe fit a single ankle in there.

And that's why I had to go. What started out as the latter was drifting towards the former. In part due to the onwards march of IT services to cloud providers, but also attempts by the organisation to 'mature' their IT landsc
