It’s hard to understand in a well-developed economy like Australia, that we have so many more public sector workers than other countries, like France, USA and Spain….
One would have thought that with advanced IT systems that we’d be more efficient…
@arjanpakkert As soon as an article say methane converted into CO2 in 12 years you know its bullshit. It can takes up to 60 years for all the Methane released by a cow to breakdown to CO2. Also Interesting group behind the article 🤔
The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv.
I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information.
All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality.
Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity.
There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus.
Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us.
One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.
@anarimafornow@simonmaechling For a 70 kg adult, caffeine's LD50 equates to roughly 200+ shots of espresso (at ~63 mg caffeine each), an impossible volume in 30 minutes underscoring that real-world toxicity requires extreme, unrealistic intake.
Natural doesn't always mean safer.
Toxicity depends on dose, not on whether something is natural or synthetic.
Even common substances like caffeine, vitamin D, and salt can be lethal at certain levels.
Understanding toxicology is key to rational risk assessment.
@fmeeus1 Methane doesn't disappear in 12 years. ~50% gone after 9 yrs, ~75% after 18 yrs, but a small fraction lingers. It takes ~50-60 years for it to be removed. During that whole time it's a very potent warmer (80x+ CO2 short-term). The 'gone in 12 yrs = neutral' claim oversimplifie
PLANT-BASED TO SAVE THE CLIMATE?
✅ Plant-based diets lead to small gains
With 0.2-0.8 t CO₂e saving/y, plant-based eating isn't the major climate solution some claim it to be. On a 9-15 t CO₂e footprint, this equals 1–6% reduction, depending on dietary restrictiveness.
How much does all livestock production in the West contribute to total man-made emissions globally?
Forget the exaggerated numbers of 50% or more, the real impact is 2.6% (while still ignoring various ecological, nutritional & other system complexities).
