Interesting, thank you for the reply! Learned something new today. The lines I see span over a quarter or so of the moon, so I'm not fully convinced yet. Absolute massive.

One of those articles that make you feel disgusted about the world we live in.

Thank you to all those scientists trying to throw the rudder around, that get bullied, while trying to save fellow humans.

Ah, this is probably the right community to ask.

What are those stripes leading to the crater, here in the upper left?

I've noticed them before, but when I try looking it up, I usually only find results for Saturn's moon.

Beautiful picture, op!

As far as I understood, it'll leak into the atmosphere, where it'll cause 80 or 100 times more warming than CO² for a decade or so, before breaking down into good, old CO², causing further warming for centuries / millennia.

Not sure, but I think I've also read that in the process of breaking down into CO², the ozone layer gets damaged.

But if CCS operations leak, they can pose significant risks to water resources. That’s because pressurized CO2 stored underground can escape or propel brine trapped in the saline reservoirs typically used for permanent storage. The leaks can lead to heavy metal contamination and potentially lower pH levels, all of which can make drinking water undrinkable.

Can someone explain this to me in a easy way?

As a layman I would be worried of large amounts of CO² suddenly leaking near where people live. But how does it make water undrinkable? I thought some people like their drinks with CO². And where do the heavy metals come from?

I recently read somewhere that it's actually just very few bee species that die after stinging, among them honeybees. They have a barbed stinger that gets stuck while most bees have flat stingers and can sting repeatedly.

Read the Wiki and well, I dont know. It may be a climate agenda, but in my opinion being green isn't necessary being bold.

Bold would be meeting at least what scientist recommend: halving emissions by 2030. I know, that's very much to ask for any country in the world. That's why it's called bold.

What green parties all over the world are doing is: turn the rudder away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy. Which is a step in the right direction, but I think that's not bold. It's the least one can do.

Who are these candidates with a "bold climate agenda"? I don't know any political party in any country, where I'd say 'they've got a bold climate agenda'.

Regarding solar electricity: does that mean to mirror the sunlight to a solar panel? If so: ignoring, that one would constantly need to adapt the mirror's position, I think I also read somewhere that solar panels decrease efficiency with heat. So my question is: could one increase solar panel output by bundling light or would heat related inefficiency cancel that out?

I don't know where you live. But where I live, styrofoam costs next to nothing. In fact, you get it for free, if you don't mind looking through another man's trash. You can also probably get some for free if you ask a company, that gets stuff sent, that need cooling. Like a supermarket.

For environment: styrofoam is a kind of plastic, so there is that. On the plus side, it's quite little plastic inflated with air.

I assume it's way better than getting a replacement fridge, especially considering the electronics and maybe the coolant gas (I don't know if that's still an issue).

I wouldn't be surprised if the electricity saved alone offsets the environment damage (assuming not fully green power used to run the fridge).

It's not any snake, but some species that are adapted to living on trees. It's also not really flying. Gliding would describe what they do better. As they jump, they flatten their body and make slither movements through the air, gliding maybe at a 45 angle downwards.

 

I'm new to this app here. I come from Boost and wanted to try something new. I do like the app, however I have issues writing comments or posts.

My keyboard will cover the area where my text is, so while typing I am unable to read what I type.

If I want to read or correct my text, I need to tab the back button to close my keyboard.

I didn't find anything in the settings to prevent that. My keyboard is not floating.

Here are some screenshots:

^ I can't see the lower few rows of text.

^ after tabbing back to close the keyboard I can read but not correct. Tabbing on the text will open the keyboard, which will cover my text again.

^ installed version

My phone is an Android Oppo A5s (CPH1909).

Thanks for any help!
