With all this mucus dripping, won't it need even more water? Wouldn't that be a problem in the dry future?

Wow! Please do set up an aggressive schedule to build the first space solar station. The Earth urgently needs its Dyson swarm already. With such distances under test you are very close to the goal. I bet Musk will be your best friend if you

Yes you're right. One could argue though that those usages would avoid dirty sources of CO2. But I agree that "avoiding to output more CO2" is not a replacement for "removing CO2", and this is very important indeed.

There are surely others, but the ones coming to my mind right now: - Agriculture: lots of CO2 are produced on-site under greenhouses by burning gas, because it speeds up the growing of crops. - Sparkling drinks industry.

I can't wait (normal) GCC to support modules! (it already does but in a dev branch version, not very handy as it requires a full reconfiguration of the environment variables to switch between this and the normal GCC) The status is here

Hmm... plastic or airplane pollution is just enough to create pollution problems, but I think they it's way too small to be a suitable vector for this kind of large scale delivery. Micro-plastics are plentiful in the oceans in particul

Ah! In this case it perfectly makes sense indeed ^^ Yes ocean fertilization is a very underrated geoengineering tool for carbon capture and storage, that should be really looked into.

Yes. I must apologize, my poor English grammar made my comment unclear: I was wondering, in case of releases of methane orders of magnitude larger and quicker than they are now, how microorganisms could possibly stop large bubbles on their

I agree this post is more about illegitimate video editing by right-wingers (lawmakers), rather than about purely technology. Still, there is a connection with the deep-fake era that we just entered, and how we will manage to mitigate the c

Why has this been flagged?? Really, right-wingers stop at nothing to mute or distort what does not align with their opinions. Before being flagged, this was on HN front page. The agenda is clear here.

Of course, but even better would be to manage to reverse the global warming and have these clathrates remain frozen...

Some point that is not very clear if we read the article shallowly: the methane is not yet leaked to the ocean's surface, for now it is just melted, then dissolved into the water, and microorganisms are converting it to CO2, which adds

If the clathrates are really massively destabilized with raising temperatures, no existing microorganisms could possibly stop the huge mega-bubbles of methane that would raise bursting to the ocean surface. Microorganisms could very well be

by henearkr 6y ago
(disclaimer: I know you're joking, sorry to answer so seriously ^^) The fact it is released does not mean that it is captured (by humans). Actually, any project to capture all of methane clathrate (because capturing all of it is the on

Yes, I think you put your finger on it. As the observer is part of the system, his "reality" is as much superposed, entangled, etc., as the quantum events that compose it (himself and his observation too). That would give credit t

The part that seems the most dubious to me is the "choice": > 2. It is possible to make free choices, or at least, statistically random choices. I don't see what would be really compelling in that. If it's false it wo

As it seems pretty much feasible to use automatic objects detection/classification to spot possible tumors during the colonoscopy, wouldn't it be the next obvious step to replace the normal camera (well suited for a human observer

I hate too the testing policy in Japan. But this policy alone cannot explain a supposed anomaly in the count of "requiring hospitalization" covid patients. That's because I assume that the persons with covid with a health sta

Well, if you call anybody Yoshifumi-san (given that Yoshifumi is their given name), he would be very upset. They make it clear that whenever you use their given name you should NOT add "san" to it. So that's kind of weird tha

What is fun is when you are a foreigner and Japanese colleagues earnestly think that they should call you "Jack-san" because it comes first in English. It's like "Mister Jack"! For a native English speaker it would

Japan just passed the peak of the second wave. It seems like the situation is slowly improving, and is on the good slope, but the epidemic is very much still alive. I always look at the "要入院" (people needing hospitalization) curve
