@Robbie_S_Lunnon @ProfBillMcGuire The blue line is labeled in the key as the taylor ice dome, the y axis is labeled as co2, if read the graph from the left to the right. The y-axis is labeled as temperature from right to left.

@Robbie_S_Lunnon @ProfBillMcGuire Can you try to say why it does not, let me help you with this:

[groundwater grub @tobitron9k]

@Robbie_S_Lunnon @ProfBillMcGuire Your chart says every 50ppm of atmospheric C02 you get 4 degrees ofglobal temperature rise. You do notice the y axis is labeled co2 on the right and temperature on the left?

Went to the Kashgar museum today and got many rounds of Xinjiang is an inseparable part of Chinese territory etc etc.

But the most fascinating items are from Kashgars path as a Silk Road node. It feels less like a Chinese bastion and more like a waypoint where everyone passed through.

My favorite pieces are these almost European-looking sculptures from the tradition of Serindian art. Classical Greek technique fused with Buddhist/Indian themes. This particular figure depicts a guardian figure called a Yaksha. Yakshas later appeared in China more as a kind of grotesque low-level demon, far from the fierce but classically handsome Hellenistic depiction we see here.

Fun fact: Buddhism traditionally frown upon concrete representations of the Buddha but the Greek Buddhists started making statues to make Buddhism competitive with the Greek gods. They literally modeled Buddha on Apollo. And well the rest is history.

This was from 6th-7th century. Kashgar then would have been a real melting pot: Songdian (Iranian) traders, Tang dynasty administrators, Indian monks, Turkic nomads. It was a grab bag of religion too: in addition to Buddhism you had Zoroastrianism, Nestorian Christians, Manichaeism.

Interestingly…no Uyghurs. The people who would become the Uyghurs are I think hanging out in Mongolia at this point in time.

@0ddette Have you seen Rental Family? That's a very funny scene in that movie.

@low_dosage China could pull this off, I doubt that Trump could.

@Deshpacito661 Why didn't the op just use an image of a map from that era instead of ahistorical nonsense.

@BonkDaCarnivore Dang he's skipped the famous "two weeks" this is serious. Hope he's feeling shitty about that.

@Hank_Krill @river_is_nice Hmm how would you compare the statements: "England expects every man to do their duty" and "our war fighters have maximum authorities personally granted by the president and yours truly" I think the latter statement appears primitive compared to the first.

@BradleyQ271 @Snozzcumbers @Yuver2016626 @jvgraz comparing the miniscule size of the first bomblet and the bomblet in this second picture I imagine judging whether it's safe to approach where these things may have landed is much easier with the second bomb.

@angedipus @narrenhut If there's a part of the coast that gets damaged to get access to minerals that means fewer seals; more sonar and boat activity disrupts whales navigating those waters.
