We just watched it. Agreed but glad I watched it. I knew a lot of the information already & had previously cut most seafood out of my diet but it does further affirm that decision.
New weather records being broken all the time. (While it could be argued these storms aren’t all climate change related the warming climate is having an impact on the volatility of these types of things)

Yeah but have you heard that some people that might not need it got $1,400?!? That’s the real crime.
'Immediate and drastic.' The climate crisis is seriously spooking economists
Worsening inequality, trillions of dollars in economic damage and depressed economic growth. Those are the outcomes that economists fear we will face unless the world aggressively confronts the climate crisis.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature declared 15 species extinct in 2020. Stacker asks: what were they, and what drove them to extinction?
I know the guy, Bill Brown, mentioned in the article. He’s correct in what he said. The arsenic mcl is 10 ppb since 2003. OTOH PFAS is a big deal and I expect (hope) EPA will set an MCL soon.This is fine.

Trinity, AL is a western suburb of Decatur. There is a big PFOA lawsuit now against 3M for dumping PFOAs in far excess of their permit. As of the beginning of this month, it appeared they may have settled with Decatur and Morgan County...
Is the Thunderbird Drive-In still there
.I worked at that 3M plant a couple of summers during college.
Daikin in Decatur also make fluorinated hydrocarbons (refrigerants).
Daikin is still there, but no one is making R-22 and HCFC-22 any more. That stopped with 1/1/'20. It still can be captured and recycled in order to keep old units running. Believe it or not, the largest consumers are freezer cases in supermarkets. I think the Thunderbird is under a subdivision. I didn't know you grew up around there. Here's what's left of it. Pull down until you can see "Old Trinity Road"...Is the Thunderbird Drive-In still there
