she's living up to the paramedic tradition of being completely awesome and down to earth.

I’ve not made the time to get all up in my fungals, but i know a lot more understanding is coming out. Whats the deal?

So I might be wrong here, I have no formal training in the carbon cycle and am not nor have ever been a biologist but I was under the impression that coal basically no longer can be made as it comes from a time before lignin (the stuff what makes plants woody) could be broken down by organisms. Now, barring unusual geological events, plants die and fall into the soil where the vast majority of their substance is metabolised by fungi which use it for energy emitting co2 in the process.

So if you take some area and forest it, there is now a mass of carbon bound into plant stuff, but since it reaches a steady state quickly it isn't really sequestering any after that. This is why carbon capture is sort of a farce, as captured carbon in its ideal form is coal.

I'm actually curious, given that forests don't actually fix carbon anymore (yay fungi) is there any amortised effect on co2 levels? or just a peak then increased uptake during regrowth.

Of course, smoke is bad

Labor is certainly trying to stop the rise of the greens.

A) you don't know it was sold with one B) Being arrested is a massive escalation that is humiliating and dangerous C) absolutely nobody was hurt or threatened

Yeah I assume some wowser panicked and called the cops on the scary brown man with a gun. I shoot 22s, am not exactly a gun nut but am also astounded at general fear and ignorance of firearms in city dwellers despite their actual massive presence there.

Like fair cop OK, he's an idiot for bringing it out in public but nothing indicates he was trying to scare people or do anything nefarious. Hang me for this if you like but I reckon we should be a bit forgiving of people doing silly things if alls well and they understand that the forgiveness is conditional on doing better going forwards.

Kinda neat, a bit weasely in a few places. Our Lords and Masters stance has always been Palestinian sovereignty under a two state, but usually they vote against or abstain from any UN resolution iirc.

Sign that the anglosphere is turning against the USA on this issue?

Oh piss off

The cops necessarily lean fash mate. Yeah not all, but they're statistically a hell of a lot more sympathetic to nazis than like unions or students.

What they're very good at is not being punished by the law or the cops. Sewer doesn't deserve credit for that.

You're right, in that it's the complicity of the cops and judiciary in allowing these sort of things to happen. However I do think Nazi ringleaders in general have a good understanding of both that the law is this way and how to manipulate the legal system.

Like they dress in suits with a clean haircut and stuff when appearing in court and plead good character, they front the media well etc.

None of this would work if anyone did due diligence but they intuitively know they wont.

Having odious politics and being a slimey coward doesn't mean he's stupid.

This guy is like the Nazi ringleader in aus. He is a cunning little thing, very good at walking the line without ever crossing it.

For example, when he recently led a gang in attacking some people filming a group of the shits hiking he himself was careful not to actually get hugely involved in taking their car keys and attacking them. Only getting 7 days in gaol.

Sewell was in contact with the Christchurch mosque shooter too.

If there was any justice in the world he'd be cut off from using the internet or running social groups, but those are penalties we only levy against people holding climate rallys or sharing films.
