‘Attacking feminism because you‘ve never experienced a time when women were not, for the most part, legally equal to men springs from the same ignorant well as believing measles vaccines are unnecessary because you’ve never experienced the disease for yourself.’

“The US military alone has fired more than 337,000 bombs and missiles in the past two decades, each of which contributes to atmospheric pollution. Bombers and fighter jets that transport these weapons burn enormous quantities of fuel.”

When I first showed this figure to colleagues, they were horrified. But I think it adequately shows how confusing the marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) landscape is, and this figure will eventually be the most important contribution of this paper. 🌊
mCDR approaches have been categorized in different ways: (a) biotic, abiotic; (b) photosynthetic, geochemical, technological; (c) novel, conventional; (d) nature-based solution (NbS) or not. We reconcile these different frameworks here. What we consider NbS might be controversial. 7/n

The same Republicans trying to put a man accused of child sex trafficking at the top of the DOJ and an anti-vaxxer atop HHS, are telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender affirming care & books with two mommies is because they want to ‘protect our kids.’
Bullshit.
Bullshit.

Cretaceous echinoderm in the Glen Rose limestone in central Texas. How nice to spot this beautiful specimen just sticking out of an outcrop. It’s been buried in the dark for 100 million years and it’s still intact.
