Winger would be better!
Ok, let's try this again. Post cool stuff you read here and there about science and nature.I'll start:1) Scroll down a bit, there's a woman putting on sunscreen while being filmed by a camera that only sees UV light. So cool.https://www.lifepixel.com/galleries/uv-ultraviolet-photography-gallery
The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
Because she isn't overweight?
I need to learn more about the sciences. Starting by reading Bill Bryon's history.
Yeah, it does to me. She is skinny, sure, but she just happens to have an angular face.If I may say so, it looks to me that due to the obesity epidemic your "normal" has shifted to the point where a skinny person looks anorexic to you.

You can also see that the eyes appear entirely black in the UV image, this is because eye chromophores absorb UV rays for protection against UV light damage.
Somewhere, over the wasteland..... bootlegs fly

Does that look right to you?She looks a little bony and underweight to me too... but we are Americans after all, so that must mean that the obesity epidemic has completely skewed our perception of this matter.
This is pretty cool: https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/50-000-year-old-forest-of-fresh-trees-found-in-4657102.php

Bummer that the article doesn't explain the mechanism of the preserved underwater forests. It seems to me the forest must have suddenly been buried under the water, since a gradual water level rise would just slowly have killed off the trees.
WHEN WILL YOU ADRESS MY MONKEY ARGUMENT???? NEVER???? THAT\' WHAT I FIGURED.:lol

Bummer that the article doesn't explain the mechanism of the preserved underwater forests. It seems to me the forest must have suddenly been buried under the water, since a gradual water level rise would just slowly have killed off the trees.I was wondering that as well...I'm figuring the area was below sea level at the time, and whatever earthen dam was holding back the water broke in some catastrophic event and flooded the whole region. that's pretty much the only way I can figure that it would go from dry to anoxic quickly enough to have this kind of preservation occur.
The Bald Cypress forest was buried under ocean sediments, protected in an oxygen-free environment for more than 50,000 years, but was likely uncovered by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, said Ben Raines, one of the first divers to explore the underwater forest and the executive director of the nonprofit Weeks Bay Foundation, which researches estuaries.
I think it's meat.
For once some positive news when it comes to CO2: They are testing CO2 sequestration in basalt.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=pilot-projects-bury-co2-in-basalt
