I definitely recommend looking into some of Dr. Fowlers history, he's such a cool person and his work with Crop Trust was so cool.
In 2008, the most likely projections had us around 4.5 degrees of warming. So, there is progress. Insufficient progress, we need to double down, but progress nonetheless
No, but it does change the implication. If leasing doesn't lead to drilling, then it's a pretty negligible concern
Overall, oil companies are withdrawing investment from exploration and new drilling. It seems oil companies are not drilling new but riding out on the investment they've already made plus utilizing market power to squeeze out profits. In terms of Biden's political calculus, it seems that they think new drilling leases don't involve much risk of increased oil coming onto the market, but it does improve his position among voters, especially in an era of inflation. Plus, this gave him political capital to pass the IRA, especially with Manchin.

To an extent, but we have the chance of transitioning into a solar and wind society and remediate that damage. Subsequent species would not have that potential.
Im not saying they're apples to apples, I'm saying that I was just wondering if we could design tires that were less conducive to creating microparticles
Even in raindrops!
I wonder if there's any data on how much bus tires pollute in this way on a per-passenger mile basis. I'm sure it's better than cars, but if it's still a major problem, I wonder if there's another way to manufacture less problematic tires. Maybe biodegradable?

She has a Bandcamp where you can purchase her music. Otherwise search her up on other streaming platforms you may have
Yeah, I feel this is an early report to decide if a larger study is warranted
Wait until you get into food preservation!
