Already addressed above a couple years ago, but worth a revisit:
Dr. Rui Ying, the lead author and a PhD student in marine ecology at the University of Bristol, emphasized the urgency of the situation. He stated that even under conservative climate projections predicting a 2°C rise, it is evident that plankton cannot keep pace with the rapid warming we are experiencing, which shows no signs of slowing down.
“Plankton are the lifeblood of the oceans, supporting the marine food web and carbon storage. If their existence is endangered, it will present an unprecedented threat, disrupting the whole marine ecosystem with devastating wide-reaching consequences for marine life and also human food supplies.”
yes, nonsense it is!
the real “chemtrails” in florida-da are the toxic sludge seepage draining into the 'glades from big sugar or the chemicals going up Matt Gaetz nose!
Ms. Garcia, does your bill also criminalize FloridaMan shooting into hurricanes to deflect them, thereby “modifying” the weather in a manner that is described in the language of your proposed legislation?
Just finished re-reading Striptease by Carl Hiaasen.
Big sugar has a lot to answer for.
(I read it back in the nineties, found it in a charity shop a couple weeks ago, and it was well worth reading again - but that might say more about my memory than the quality of the book. No, only joking, it’s a quality book).
thing is, Hiaasen doesn’t need to make shit up to get to the heart of FloridaMan. (although, it was fellow florida-da essayist, Dave Berry, what first wrote “you can’t make this stuff up!”)
then we’re all fucked.
reckon the tidal wave/ tsunami from such an event would drown all of florida, while pyroclastic fallout incinerates the rest of the continent.
I don’t think a Cascadia event would reach as far as Florida though.
I think it’s fascinating that the last Cascadia quake has been narrowed down to the hour (about 9:00 pm. January 26, 1700), there are First Nations stories about it, and it was the cause of a huge tsumani in Japan which was documented, and has been confirmed by geologic strata and dendrochronology on the west coast.
right!
there is a long-dead forest, submerged in Lake Washington, off Seward Park that slid into the water during that event. i remember reading about the record of the tsunami in Japan that was also triggered then.
i was continuing your speculation of a combo-effect “big one” triggering the supervolcano in some gigantic, megaboom that flattens (or bursts) this hemisphere. the tsunami from the west coast would, obviously “make waves” across the Pacific, but the mass eruption of Yellowstone could certainly send shocks easteard and definitely rain fire from above all the way to Mexico.
buckle up?
obvs, i am no geologist.
besides, it won’t take an extinction-level event to drown florida. Miami is already sinking and the ocean is rising.
“how long can you tread water?”
