Combining NASA satellite observations with government reports on structure loss, they find that:

  2. Fast fires are the most destructive in terms of life and property

Set Break: New discoveries of Mayan settlements and cities via unrelated LIDAR survey

It's very expensive to commission large-scale LIDAR surveys that can find remnants of ancient civilizations in unexplored forests

But researchers found a 50-square-mile survey done to monitor carbon in rainforest trees

Found evidence of >6000 structures: small settlements and even a CITY with PYRAMIDS that is right underneath current farmland and a highway

Subways worldwide are flooding more regularly because they are not planning for the deluges that climate change will bring: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/22/climate/subway-...

Hello radio friends!
Space Cowboy 7:53:01 AM
Last set of music was great
Space Cowboy 7:53:51 AM
How about emotional attachment to ideology in politics as a question
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:01:30 AM
Thank you!! So glad you were into it.
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:01:44 AM
That topic is a hornets' nest but there's no time like the present!
Zach 9:33:29 AM
Great plant pick! I’ve been seeing Datura everywhere this year it’s a disaster waiting to happen
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:39:21 AM
Thank you! Yes, I know, why is it everywhere? Why do the toxic ones sit in plain sight of children?? It is actually very scary, because they look so pretty and delectable
Zach 9:45:47 AM
Everytime I’m out with someone and see it I make a point to show them and say “You know Scarecrow’s fear toxin in Batman Begins? This is that and it can kill you.” There are lots of young kids in my town so I’ve just taken to stomping out the plants this year. It’s too pretty to risk it.
Zach 9:49:03 AM
I know that’s not the most scientifically accurate description but it gets the point across.
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:51:08 AM
Scientific accuracy can be a bit secondary to safety at times! good on you.
