Why do you think without the strobing is an important control? They are comparing synced vs. randomized, which might as well have been without, unless distracting.

Reply to comment by return_the_urn in US Emissions of the World’s Most Potent Greenhouse Gas Are 56 Percent Higher Than EPA Estimates. Electric utilities are likely responsible for the nation’s higher than expected emissions of sulfur hexafluoride, a greenhouse gas 25,000 times worse for the climate than carbon dioxide. by Wagamaga
It might be heavier than air but it's still a gas so it's really light, weather events, temperature, wind will all cause enough turbulence to disperse a plume and vertical mixing will send it up into the atmosphere. Think about it like a pile of feathers, they are light and a good gust of wind will send them scattering.

Reply to comment by rugbat in Endangered male northern quolls are giving up sleep in favour of having more sex – and it could be killing them, according to a study that investigated why male northern quolls usually mate themselves to death in one season while females can live and reproduce for up to four years. by MistWeaver80
It's the same for this species, all males die each season

I think it's more of a way for males to maximise thier reproductive output

It's clearly the social dysfunction of communism- Bejing for example.

I'm one of the authors on this paper, let me know if you have any questions! It's been amazing seeing the response this paper has gotten.

I honestly thought it said gnolls and was confused and ready to roll initiative.

But that's known for decades. That's how binaural beats and the whole concept of hemi-sync works.

Posted for the future. I'm open to being a part of it too, if we want to see how Bipolar people are affected.

Reply to comment by SocialMediaDystopian in Trees could reduce mortality from urban heat waves by a third by YoanB
Did you even read the paper? What the paper authors did was take a real heatwave (August '15 I think), model what the cities temps would have been with 30% more trees(something that requires a decent understanding of the effect you claim is just being 'discovered' here), calculate new death tolls from that, then compare the new death tolls with the real death tolls.
Your annoyance is misplaced, scientists know that trees make cities better in many ways, which is why they are performing studies like this one, to convince policymakers and developers to consider the benefits.

Reply to comment by RagnarokDel in Planting more trees could axe summer deaths by a third. Modelling of 93 European cities finds that increasing tree cover up to 30% can help lower the temperature of urban environments by an average of 0.4°C and prevent one in three heat deaths as a result. by MistWeaver80
It's a problem in that some people imagine this is a real solution. I'm afraid we need real solutions to real problems, and Climate Change is a very real, very serious problem.
