I was thinking:

"Hey boss, got the mine setup, should I do camouflage?"

"Nah, we're low on explosives and tools. Throw on some tin roofs and let the government help us blast mine"

I really don't get it. Why surprised? Surprised that a man, who leads major fossil fuel companies, works against regulating the fossil fuel industry.

Hey, don't worry!

Right now, somewhere, in a repressive state without freedom of speech and limited rights to protest, some of the richest fossil fuel company owners and oil sheikhs meet with the world leaders, well - except USA and China, the world's biggest polluters - to work on a solution and find out how ~~they can still sell their oil~~ to trick the public.

I mean it won't change anything much, listening or looking away. Just look at the whole conference, it seems pretty clear to me that there is no motivation to change.

If I learned today that the political meeting to solve the problem climate change is being held in a petro state, lead by an oil sheikh and sponsored by companies that have no ambition to change, I would assume that somebody wants to fool me or it's satire.

What I expect is a lot of talk, self love and emphasis on how great we're doing already, some vague ideas and plans and then back to business as usual.

But still, I think the author of this article is right. There is need to show political leaders, that we don't let us get tricked by their green washing and that we demand more, much more action and that we won't accept empty promises!

It's very tiring to just want to live in a world that doesn't kill us while most business men readily kill the climate for profit. And the hope that the future is worth living is fading quickly. But we need to stand up as long as there is a piece of hope left. We'll likely lose this fight, but at least we tried.

Nothing thrills my empty soul like a life long game of Climate Russian Roulette.

Alex Terrible makes great music!

I'm okay with that if the cows are okay.

I mean I'm okay with breeding and genetically changing, but I would advocate for an institute that checks the animals on health. Just so we don't get animals like Chihuahuas, that often suffer a lot due to their poor health. I could imagine it's not easy for a cow to produce 10 liters of milk a day.

Skimmed the article for the reason of bird death.

They look at habitat loss due to fossil fuel mining and at the impact of acid rain caused by burning fossil fuels and mentioned climate change.

I have a feeling that these numbers could be shadowed when looking at the deaths caused by air pollution from coal plants. But I guess that must be difficult to assess.

Not that it matters much for my understanding, as these numbers are too big for my brain to grasp anyway, but what does that unit prefix "tn" stand for?

While reading the article in my head I read it as "tera tonne" but wouldn't that be "Tt"?

I hope it's at least a metric tonne and not one of the other weird short or long tonnes.

I don't really understand this. I always understood that precious metals are created in the late fusion process of stars and somehow fell on Earth via collision (fun thought: as there are some traces of those metals in humans, one could say we're partly made from stars).

Anyway, the article isn't about the origin of gold etc, but why they are found in the mantel of Earth and not closer to the core.

But how do we know that there isn't more at the core? Maybe in the mantel it's just fragments? And how do we know it fell down in "moon sized" rocks and not in smaller portions which wouldn't penetrate that deep?

Just as if there were politicians, who would before an election say they'd tackle a problem to get more popular, while actually not working on solutions.
