A third question is, can it scale up to what's needed to begin to make a dent in the problem. The answer will unfortunately always be no, not even close. That's how much we've put in the air and oceans, the numbers are huge.

It's complicated. The breakdown of methane in the atmosphere depends on hydroxyl radicals that are created at a regular rate. If you have more and more methane released, and/or you have other chemicals that also react with those radicals, the overall average half life will increase. Both those things are happening, so the old half life really isn't as accurate as it used to be. Guess which number the IPCC still uses for its models though.
The best part is that you don't dare question what you do get, or you receive the "well, at least it's something". Yeah, I guess so, but if the intent is to make the employee feel valued it's not working very well. I do have to say that a baked potato is still better than some things I've seen posted before.
Save Southern Heritage Florida
Not all heritages are best to save. What would General Lee himself say both about trying to glorify that past as well as having statues to the losing side? I'll bet supporters either don't know, or aren't honest enough to admit they do know.
They didn’t create the first MP3 player, but they created the first massively commercially successful one.
Going back to what others have mentioned about Apple, the iPod's success was a big part because of the intuitive interface. If it's easy to learn and use, it will become popular.
Recycled water isn't directly toilet water, so the title is misleading to bias the react and get the click. Isn't much of urban water already recycled to some degree? And in reality, all water is "second hand" and has been somewhere else in its history on this planet. It's only a question of it being processed naturally or otherwise to be potable to drink.
Let's focus on the chemicals we've put into the world's water that can't easily (or at all) be filtered out. Toilet water is not the problem.
Later Geordi shows him that authority when ejecting the warp core before Will gives the actual order to set off the Riker Maneuver.
Some music doesn't have to be deep to be good. I never got the impression people in the pit at a AC/DC concert were analyzing the lyrics.
Starts off with the right idea, then devolves into corporate speak on empathy and self-help. No mention of the actual problem at hand. I go to work for the paycheck. If you don't change that variable, why would any of the extra stuff matter? If employees are in some type of shareholder position to gain from better profits at least they get something from working harder, unlike the typical worker of a flat wage/salary.
I.e, how long ago? Probably about the time the 1.5 target number was being introduced, and that may be optimistic.
The Binar long con prank. They must still be laughing.
The sell of the paper is a new fuel storage medium. The positive part is that creating a fuel from existing carbon sources means (hopefully) less petroleum pumped out of the ground to contribute more carbon. The negative is that it leans more to that than the permanent sequestering, and I can't seem to pick out a net energy use anywhere, but basic physics tells us it will take more energy to do the process in entirety, even if most of it results in large scale storage. I doubt that happens because removal of carbon vs. putting into a new form to be used is like burying money. Which leads to something I've noticed pop up only in the past month or so...a new term added. "Carbon capture, utililization, and storage". CCS has already been very heavily into the production of carbon products to support their efforts, after all they have to make a profit, right? The only real storage done is a product to inject into the ground to help retrieve more oil. Again, they aren't going to just bury the money, that's foolhardy for a business.
Sorry for more negativity in the thread. Just calling a spade a spade. Those who don't like the feeling that gives can just ignore it and focus on the new science that will save us.
