Learning about this. We hear about "geoengineering" more than we think. Words like carbon capture, etc.
Since every year, the COP post-mortem media ritual includes reviving talks and articles about how geoengineering is going to save us or give us breathing spaces until we finally get mitigation going... Here's a better take on some of the risks involved (in a world averse to peace).
Geoengineering: Assessing Risks in the Era of Planetary Security
As the effects of climate change intensify, interest in geoengineering approaches is ramping up. But these methods risk creating new ecological and security threats, undermining urgent systemic transi...

Please do your own research. Health officials have been very concerned about gov changing statements on peer reviewed, evidence backed research.

The website now says, “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”

Still had some coleslaw I did left from the seafood dinner (fried oysters request). Better than KFC, Hardee's, Popeyes or even Bojangles, I dare say.
Order my services up and try it!

For decades, the biomedical industry has relied on a compound in horseshoe crab blood to protect medical equipment from contamination, saving untold human lives.

But conservationists say modern medicine’s dependence on this bloodletting is upending a globe-spanning ecosystem.
These crabs probably saved your life. Can we save theirs?
The medical world relies on horseshoe crab blood in the production of vaccines and equipment. A synthetic is available, but companies have been slow to adopt it.

I don't know about phenomenal, but it's certainly remarkable, and not great remarks.
This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

Rest. Puttered around. Didn't make a fuss. Made some quick #nobake dairy-free #blueberry and cream crumble with gluten-free graham cracker and spiced pecans. Blueberries were still warm.
