For 19 months, he also had chaired the EEOC for 9 years before that, after working in the Department of Education for 1 year.

He's quite possibly had the fastest tracked career I've ever looked into. Every fast tracked career advancement he's had has been at the hands of republicans.

The supreme court is a position you normally get nominated to after years of service in the Judicial Service, they should already have 10-15 years as a judge or law professor. That should get them to retirement age.

Your muscles can get hurt working out too, you just gotta learn to preform in your own capabilities, or you were hurt by an asshole.

In the (rust belt here) midwest it's almost reversed, homes in the rural areas cost much more than they do in the city. But our cities are car centric wastelands, where whole city blocks have been turned into parking lots.

It probably has nothing to do with the Russian description in their YouTube link /s

I'm concerned too much more salt may lead to salting of land, but I may be worried over nothing.

I also don't fully trust our ability to predict negative outcomes if it's profitable to ignore them.

It's all good. I can see that point, but it's unfortunately a bandaid (semi-short term cooling strategy) on a sucking wound (too much CO2 in the atmosphere), and if I trusted the world powers to continue solving the issue (Atmospheric Carbon Capture) before sepsis set (salting the earth from aeroslizing sea water) in, I'd be less opposed.

I never said burn more oil?

Also I'm not a huge fan of the idea of seeding the atmosphere with salt water, that salt has to come down eventually.

It is the Sulfer thing. Sulfer Dioxide was shading the planet and making clouds more reflective, cooling the earth and we're fairly uncertain by how much.

Even though the article doesn't say it outright, the obvious conclusion is that we should have stopped using fossil fuels decades ago. And even if stop now we don't know how much more warming we'd do without the sulfer dioxide. Which shouldn't be added to the atmosphere because it would kill an outrageous amount of people.

Majority of microplastics in the environment are specifically tire dust. And the particles are so fine they get into our blood through our lungs.
