It's important to explore all possible solutions to reduce emissions and address climate change, including innovative technologies like carbon capture.

Yes, global warming is causing plant species to shift their preferred climate further up in altitude, leading to changes in the composition of ecosystems.

Heck, here in California logging seems to be a drop in the bucket compared to disease and fire. Our forests are dying.

High dose intravenous would be good for the informed audience. Pharmacological is a superficial meaningless superlative term in this context.

Reply to Scientists create carbon nanotubes out of plastic waste using an energy-efficient, low-cost, low-emissions process. Compared to commercial methods for carbon nanotube production that are being used right now, ours uses about 90% less energy and generates 90%-94% less carbon dioxide by Wagamaga
It’s things like this that make me believe that the next generations will fix what us Boomers screwed up.

Worth repeating, yes.
There is the interesting Venn Diagram overlap of people with pre-existing anxiety disorders who then experience trauma that vastly exacerbates mental issues.
Can't say I like it in this overlap, but anyway here we are.

Cool. That means terms we don't understand should be converted to ones we do, right?

That is likely because your covid vaccines upgraded your autism and lamotrigine brought it back down to normal

Research what whisper networks are and why they exist. Come back and tell us if you still think that last statement is a sensible and valid basis for all people to operate under.

You mention imposter syndrome - that’s actually something elseI developed. I work in IT and always had the attitude that I could handle anything that was thrown at me. These days I feel useless and out of my element.

Can we make straws out of carbon nanotubes?

Reply to comment by Discount_gentleman in Globally, the total cost of energy for households has likely increased between 62.6% and 112.9% since Russia invaded Ukraine, say international researchers. An additional 78–141 million people worldwide could be pushed into extreme poverty as a result of these increases. by MistWeaver80
I mean that's the whole reason why free markets are so powerful; it let's market forces eventually solve these supply and demand problems.

There are strains of cannabis now with more of the pain relief aspect and less psychoactivity. I think it's definitely worth another look.

Reply to Climate change and the projected savannization of the Brazilian Amazon threaten most land-based mammals that live there, new research shows. The “savannization” here refers to when lush rainforest gives way to a drier, open landscape that resembles savanna but is actually degraded forest. by MistWeaver80
With the world’s population over 8 billion and still climbing, we have no chance at fixing this. Zero.
The decision not to take overpopulation seriously in the 1970s doomed us as much as anything.
Overpopulation is hopelessness.

Reply to comment by squanchingonreddit in Scientists have figured out a way to engineer wood to trap carbon dioxide through a potentially scalable, energy-efficient process that also makes the material stronger for use in construction by giuliomagnifico
You want to turn the trees into durable wood products and "biochar". Lumber and biochar can last 1000 years if properly handled.

Within reason, the individual tree weight doesn't matter. A "closed canopy" is when you look up in a forest and can't see any sky, just leaves and branches. That means all the available sunlight is being used by leaves.
So for a given soil and climate, a closed canopy maximizes the CO2 capture in tons per acre/hectare. If you want to produce durable wood products and store the carbon, you generally don't want a lot of little skinny trees. You want the trunks to be big enough to get useful pieces out of it.

According to research, trauma survivors are commonly diagnosed with anxiety disorders. However, not all people with anxiety have experienced past trauma.
