sounds promising but for now a drop in the bucket. 4 of those facilities is like removing 1 percent of the cars in the US. And that’s before every other country, and every other carbon source. And I would bet that the cost for those 4 is probably really high (though I would happily be wrong). But it’s a step in the right direction for sure. New technologies spur other or more efficient similar ones.
Water is an incredibly fascinating subject for me. First, our human bodies are mainly comprised of it. Second, the scientific community still has not convinced me, exactly how it accumulated in such quantities on planet earth. I do not buy the "comet brought it all theories", IMO the answer is much more complex and still unresolved. Third, Tectonic Plates and the subduction zones are intimately related to how they interact with water - water effects everything from the planets core to it's magnetic zones and ozone layers. Fourth, Our World History, in every culture that ever existed has "flood myths". Fifth, Water and Oxygen, undoubtedly, (IMO) are the key elements in the Earth being a "Garden of Eden" for Life Forms. Sixth, Climate Change, deep and shallow ocean "currents" are inter-related (huge) drivers in planet ecology and of course defining habitable areas for life on the planet. Seventh, ICE is an incredible phenomena, with science believing that the entire planet was "frozen" on at least two occassions and perhaps more. Eighth, The Greenland Ice Core" studies have brought an incredible amount of information related to climate and water/ice activity levels of the planet going back hundreds of thousands of years. Ninth, The Younger Dryas event of 12,000 years ago, and other, similar events of the deeper past are hugely revealing in terms of what happens with the interaction (dance) between climate change, water and Ice. Tenth, for those that believe in Human and, evolution in general, the dance of water and ICE has and continues to have profound effects on the history of our species, particularily in defining "good times" and "bad times". Eleven - Growing up as a kid, I heard about Tsunami's (called tidal waves then) but it was an abstract concept to me. Then Indonesia and Japan Tsunami events changed the paradim for me completely. Twelve - Ask the Hoover Damn people and the populations out West about the importance of H2O. Thirteen - Fishin is just not good without it! Fourteenth - Does "Fuji" water really come from a volcanic ground water source or is that just a bunch of B.S. with it really coming out of a garden hose in Newark, NJ? Ok, I'm done.............
The universe is full of water. Most every planet in our solar system has water and many moons. We've found a large quasar with like 140 trillion times the amount of water than the earth. We suspect there are countless water planets with frozen crusts. It shouldn't be a mystery to why there's water on Earth - it's everywhere
Well, if Russia keeps getting their asses kicked in Urkaine and smothered under sanctions creating a powder keg in a crucible, and they can't get Putin ousted...we might get have a nuclear winter to off set the global warming.... (just say'n...).
It’s Athabasca Galcier in the Columbia Icefield in Jasper NP in Canada. You can take an ice bus tour if you (while it lasts).
Tell that to the NASA scientists in that put this information mentioned out there in that article I posted.
Isn’t the latest theory from colliding comets before the gas giants formed and aligned so as to prevent more regular Collisions? I got on a tangent a while back and read Quakeland by Kathryn Miles, Full Rip 9.0 by Sandi Doughton (forget author), and Eruption by Steve Olson. Earth Processes tend to make most unrelated public policy disputes seem trivial
Not sure on the latest theories but that sounds good! Side note: I know Kate Miles well. My wife is in the acknowledgements of Kate's newest book. Would you like my autograph?
That's really cool! I LOVED that book! How great. I am also a big Dr. Lucy fan. Don't tell me you and your wife know her. That would be over the top.
One possible for the lower water on the coastline that we have not talked about could be a massive upheaval of a magma chamber underneath Iceland... That is NO good at all... If that's causing it then look out.
My wife has already texted Kate about her reach into southern football forums. I don't think we know the good doctor, but there are so many famous people in our lives it's hard to tell. Ha. No.
My wife still has a hard time following me when I tell her that there's a big fault in the center of New York City as evidenced by an elevated subway, or the danger of Wasatch Range, or some of the other things I remember from that book
I certainly agree however "Hydrogen" a key element of water and it's interaction with other elements of the periodic table is a GIGANTIC factor as to whether "water" is created. I just could never get my head around a microsopic particle of water in granite, in rocks, in comet fragments, being responsible for all the water on this planet. ESPECIALLY when science tells us that the creation of our planet was due to the accumulation of dust and cloud masses that spun themselves "up" into the objects they are today. Another problem I always had was the early earth is always represented as this spinning ball of hot magma, in my minds eye, the "only comets brought water" theory just did not jive with the fact the early earth was a spinning molten mass. So I did a bit more research last night and low and behold, new information is coming out about the solar system having a visitor (Solar Winds) with vast amounts of hydrogen and other elements that were captured by the earth during early formation. Accordingly "water" was present at the onset of earths formation, and it was not just a rotating ball of hellish rock and lava. (or something like that).
