    Only 11 degrees F separate us from an ice age? Brrr! More heat! My bromeliads(abacaxis) can't take the cold!

    Life as we know it depends on the magnetic field but if you're not interested....

    And yet, your article never says "Life as we know it depends on the magnetic field" or gives any reason to think so....

    Have you figured out the connection between this shifting magnetic field and your banana plants yet? Some people are saying that your banana plants are to blame.

    Climate change: Warming world will be 'devastating' for frozen peatlands

    The researchers say the northern peatlands store around 415 gigatonnes of carbon. That's roughly equivalent to 46 years of current global CO2 emissions.

    The report authors say that their new estimate of the carbon emitted through thawing, and from losses of peat into rivers and streams, is 30-50% greater than in previous projections of carbon losses from permafrost thawing.

    The study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

    The orange roughy was bycatch in the 70s, but then cod was over fished to destruction. So orange roughy became the main commercial fish. Now, orange roughy is endangered, soon some of the things beside the orange roughy in the picture above will become the main commercial 'fish'. Algae is now a substantial part of what the FAO reports as fisheries catch.

    I prefer cod.
    I pan fry it in butter and almond oil. Add a touch of seasoning and serve it in a salad, Greek.

    Thousands protest in Mauritius over dolphin deaths after oil spill

    Thousands of people protested in the Mauritian capital of Port Louis on Saturday, calling for an investigation into an oil spill from a Japanese ship and the death of at least 40 dolphins found near the site.

    Fabiola Monty, an environmental scientist, said: “We do not trust the government and the diluted information they’ve been feeding us regarding the management and responses to the oil spill.”

    You know, aside from your general spamming, the misinformation you post, like this covid stuff, is dangerous. You should be more responsible.

    So "theoretically" you can turn methane into hydrogen and CO2 and sequester the concentrated CO2. Some links. Of course we'd have to do more research and development, we would have to sequester the CO2 and we'd also have to change the fossil fuel industry. Obviously we're not going to do any of that.

    The whole ocean floor mining or clathrates extraction doesn't bode well. I wonder what the EROI would be.
