Damn crazy to think this was 99 years ago... And it'll be a whole century next year!

[-] Cypher@lemmy.world 61 points 1 year ago

Might need to check your maths on that one

Wait are you telling me it is not 2012?

[-] tupewe@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Of course not silly! It's still 2011!

Once, ages ago, I tried to correct the math of the Editors of Shacknews' math and like you, I was wrong. I made it to the front page of ShackNews the next night, haha. I used the same user name as I used on a forum with my friends, so my friends all found it out, haha.

It's not that they didn't know what would happen to us.

Am I missing something? How does 2 kg of coal release 7 kg of CO2?

[-] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 49 points 1 year ago

CO2 is 72.7% oxygen by weight, and 27.3% carbon. 2kg is 28.5% of 7kg, so with rounding it works out even if that is assuming that the coal has no impurities - it may be closer to 6kg but essentially it takes oxygen from the air and adds it to the carbon in the coal to form CO2

Exxon knew it as early as 1957. We're not going to stop burning fossil fuels unless the whole system collapses.

Politics last two decades acting all surprised when scientist and ecologist been telling them for more than a century... Silver lining is they won't be lying for another century if they keep ignoring the issue, we'd all be dead
