Reply to 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

And yet... In my current city they are paving every available surface into parking lots.

It will affect the quality of life for decades to come, but as of now people don't even begin to understand the issue, because they have no concept of a pleasant, livable city.

Reply to New research shows microbes are 'active engineers' in Earth's rock-to-life cycle by 9273629397759992

It makes sense that root exudate boosts microbial activity in the breakdown of rocks because plants are highly motivated to break through rocks. So why not get the bacteria to help.

​

Also, i wonder how this connects with the hypothesis that clay might have been a catalyst for the development of prebiotic self replicating chemistry. Perhaps this original system still continues.

Reply to comment by renaldey in New evidence suggests that ‘hybrid’ immunity, the result of both vaccination and a bout of COVID-19, can provide partial protection against reinfection for at least eight months. Immunity acquired by booster vaccination alone seems to fade somewhat faster. by MistWeaver80

Assuming you survived getting the disease the first time, while unvaccinated.

Personally, didn't think it was worth the risk.

The best way to avoid catching covid in the next 8 months is to catch it now.. I'm speechless at this finding

What you hear of it indicates only that media have moved on, not that the virus has.

You need to look the actual data yourself.
