I'm not sure if it is just me misunderstanding your posts but I have the impression that you are focusing on CO2 a bit too much. CO2 isn't the only greenhouse gas and it isn't even the most dangerous of the bunch. It is however the one scientists/engineers are using as a baseline unit to compare the effects of other gases and as such it gets the most exposure. To give an example 1 ton of R-22 (an once popular refrigerant among other uses) is equvalent to about 1800 tons of CO2. With that in mind I don't think there is enough merit in developing a method that only serves to break down CO2.
No, CO2 is the focus since it's the one that does the bulk of the forcing. It does have low GWP, but it's also by far the most abundant - both in terms of concentration and emissions.
You want to look at radiative forcing of various gasses, not just GWP, eg. the graphs here: https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-climate-forcing
One should be able to see that forcing by CO2 is comparable, but still higher, than all the other greenhouse gasses combined. It is also the one that keeps growing much more steeply than any of the others.

So the conclusion I'm getting here is that we use QSPs because dwarves can't pilot submarines.

I went on YouTube and it showed political compass memes, this particular one seems like each of the 4 ways could be implemented in some way to improve the school systems

Skimming through the comments in a youtube video, I noticed that at least one of them that was written in russian was in fact in english and just used the russian alphabet to convey the sounds. Although it has fallen from favor lately, greek online communities used to do something similar with what is now known as "greeklish", using the english alphabet to write in greek.

I wonder what other such hybrid languages exist.

Is music inherently ableist? I mean, deaf people can't enjoy it. They must feel pretty fucking excluded.

If there's any cause worth dying for, it's memes.

Well, seemingly, five People agreed with the opinions you posted in the comments of a random video three years ago.

Using the app, I can’t see who subscribed. I’m going to go on the computer and access YouTube via the browser to try to figure out who subscribed and why. I unfortunately don’t have a mic, and my IPad can’t record sound when I try to make a video, so if I do make one, it will have to be a PowerPoint or similar

A good product speaks for itself. John Plant from "Primitive Technology" has almost 10 million subscribers and hasn't spoken once in his videos.

It doesn't fit in the happy or sad threads, but it's certainly a thing I've seen.

I recently got curious and compared the gravitational attraction a bacteria has to a human body and the attraction a human has to Earth
Bacteria to human

Human to Earth
