30 somethings are in an awkward spot I reckon... Can be unable to understand the 'she'll be right mate' toughness of the generation above and don't sit comfortably with the any goes of the generation below, and you experienced the start of Internet in your pocket and the social media juggernaut, as you were learning about life.
I reckon gaming has ****ed a lot of people's reality,

So you're basically saying we're perfect. Thanks but tell me something I don't know

Pussyole Bernard up to his old tricks

I don’t begrudge anyone still wearing a mask, so long as they wear it appropriately. There’s a woman around town who wears one religiously, but keeps her beak sticking out the whole time. It makes no sense.

Mum wore hers every time she’d go in public, she got Covid at Christmas and she hasn’t worn one since.

I'd rather fornicate with a semi-inflated jumping castle.

The thought had crossed my mind, for obvious reasons…

I think you might want to rethink that hypothesis.

Sounds ok to me - can you explain why it’s wrong?

NASA can explain to you why it's wrong. You like NASA cause it reinforces the 'climate change' agenda, remember?

NASA have zero credibility when it comes to climate agenda, bought and paid for.

Exactly. This whole picking and choosing information to religiously quote or blank out entirely only highlights the hilarity of it.

The 20% of all urban CO2 emission figure has been around for 20 years, but apparently this 'seasonal vegetation to fight climate change' brainwave is revolutionary enough that it goes unchallenged.

You’re hilariously adversarial in every response. Must be fun knowing you in real life!

Don’t think anyone was talking about fighting climate change? I was taking about mitigating the impacts of higher temperatures. The fight is well and truly done with.

Ok, Greta.

It's one of the new climate change denial memes that trees are causing climate change. Misconstruing research and using it as evidence.

 

[bergholt]

Ok, Greta.

I must admit I don't really understand why you don't discuss things. Strength in your convictions and all that. I like to know when I'm wrong so I can change my opinion but I never get that from you, just game playing.

As I've already stated, the numbers regarding rotting foliage and CO2 have been around for 20 years.

You can go and find that information straight from the source, or your can keep trying to play character assassin.

I tried googling, first result that came up was this which superficially addresses what you're talking about:

The mathematics of leaf decay

A mathematical model reveals commonality within the diversity of leaf decay.

news.mit.edu

Is that what you were talking about?

Doesn't really give me much more to go with. Fundamentally, carbon is a pretty simple element, it doesn't do anything magical. The leaves are made out of carbon, and then when they decay that carbon is released again. It's the same amount of carbon - it can't be magically created during the decay process and more than it's magically created when the leaf grows. The leaf growing pulls carbon from the CO2 in the air, and the leaf decaying releases exactly the same carbon as CO2 (mostly) back into the air. Conservation of mass, no more carbon appears in the decay part of the cycle than was originally put in during growth.

So I don't see why tree leaves are a problem. Across a single year cycle they're net zero for CO2, it's just if you look at a single point in the cycle they might be either sequestering more carbon or releasing more.

I don't care about climate change too much, but I don't see why removing pollutants is a bad thing lol, who wants to breathe that shit in? People piss and moan about wind farms killing birds while ignoring the impacts a coal fired power plant has on everything around it.

What's wrong with making the local environments a little nicer by removing crazy pollutants?

I strongly support Nuclear Power, too. Australia is the type of country where Nuclear Power is a no brainer. We don't get tsunami's, we don't get too many earth breaking earthquakes. Nuclear Power Plants are almost too good to be true, except the soviets ****ed that up.
