I apologize for the scarcity of posts lately, life/work/business in general has picked up considerably – which is great because there is nothing that makes me more satisfied than spending fulfilling days 🙂 I promise I have a couple of posts in the works, particularly some regarding my agricultural history class, but they require pretty in-depth research and I’d rather do them properly than half-heartedly – they are coming!
Until then, check out this awesome XKCD What-If post, in which the author of the XKCD webcomics tackles ridiculous hypothetical physics questions. The question this time:
How much CO2Â is contained in the world’s stock of bottled fizzy drinks? How much soda would be needed to bring atmospheric CO2Â back to preindustrial levels?
The answer: A LOT of soda. Enough to cover the entire Earth’s surface in 10 layers of cans.
Maybe not the most practical solution to prevent global warming.
That’s certainly a lot of soda! I really hope that someday we’ll undo the damage done to the planet, however unlikely it might be. There are some interesting questions on the site you mentioned. Thanks for sharing.
I love the detail he puts into every question and answer, no matter how ridiculous the question. Thanks for reading!
