Thank God this dangerous man is off the streets.
I've tried this a couple of times and just today understood about the backwards words. I solved it! It was fun.
This article focuses specifically on the warming and the depletion of oxygen in our rivers. I watched the video, but I didn't read the text. I think it is just a transcript from the video.
The best way to save any part of our environment is to get more people to engage with it. Whether that is fishing on a river, hiking through the woods, or any other outdoor activity. These activities have routinely been proven clinically to improve a person's health and well-being. If we can get more people participating in this positive feedback loop, we will have more interest and political will to protect our environment.
It's only mentioned that warming in general is causing the lack of oxygen in the rivers. Well, what is causing the warming? They mentioned sedimentation, but they don't connect that more large rain events lead to more sedimentation, more sediment in the rivers absorbs more sunlight and holds heat. They mentioned removing old dams to make the water run faster which will keep it cooler. That's a great thing to do, but we really need to focus on increasing the buffer zones between rivers and development and showing up the banks along our rivers.
I know we are arguing the same point, but supporting policies that directly harm yourself, your children, your neighbors, etc, should be seen as a failure of critical thinking AND of common sense. Pride in ignorance, like you said, is so anathema to my worldview.

These types of headlines remind me that scientific thinking is not inherent to humanity. The idea that people would react reasonably to the same set of data seems a given, something we call "common sense." But it's much less common than we think.
So, Bill (after the divorce) buys the ranch as a gift, but the headline circles it back to a unsourced Melinda quote ON YAHOO FINANCE! This is another obfuscating hatchet job to whitewash billionaire behaviour by media owned by said billionaires. Please don't engage. This is non-news. Down vote this to the sewer where it belongs.

Good trailer, they finally released a compelling narrative thread to set up the movie. I like that Bucky is the one who has been a part of a team and is now leading the way in forming another to face The Void. Will I watch it in a theatre? 😬
