Via Slashdot: news.slashdot.org/story/23/04/23: Another Ocean Climate Solution Attempted by California Researchers (apnews.com)

Interesting that they are called out as Californian researchers.
Quote:
The technology, dubbed SeaChange, developed by the University of California Los Angeles engineering faculty, is meant to seize on the ocean's natural abilities, said Gaurav Sant, director of UCLA's Institute for Carbon Management. The process sends an electrical charge through seawater flowing through tanks on the barge. That then sets off a series of chemical reactions that trap the greenhouse gas into a solid mineral that includes calcium carbonate — the same thing seashells are made of. The seawater is then returned to the ocean and can pull more carbon dioxide out of the air. The calcium carbonate settles to the sea floor.
Typical narrow-minded thinking. They've forgotten Wolf Hilbertz, and just let the calcium carbonate sink to the floor, instead of using it to make [much needed] semi-submersible house boats.

Similar to the Ice Age/Runaway Greenhouse coin-toss, mega-drought may not be Kalifornia's biggest problem:

To our resident science fudd.
Mars is not a dead planet.
New studies suggest Mars has an active mantle.

Via S0: link.springer.com/article/10.1007: A history of solar activity over millennia
Quote:
5 Solar energetic particles in the past
In addition to galactic cosmic rays, which are always present in the Earth’s vicinity, solar energetic-particle (SEP) events with a greatly enhanced flux of less energetic particles in the interplanetary medium also occur sporadically...
....
The reconstructed energy spectrum of the 774/5 AD ESPE is shown in Fig. 29 along with other major ESPE and three strong GLE events with different spectra—from soft to hard. One can see that the 774/5 AD event (as well as other ESPEs) was characterized by the energy spectrum typical for hard GLE events, but several orders of magnitude stronger. Roughly, the 774/5 AD was a factor 70±30 stronger than the largest directly recorded GLE #5 making it really extreme .
That's the Miyake or Charlemagne Event.

In other news [citation needed], fossil fuel use saved Earth from the extinction of plant life due to insufficient atmospheric CO2. It was a squeaker.

And yet we still have people telling us "the sun can't micronova" and "the sun can't superflare".

Not all climate engineering concepts are completely daft. Seding the atmosphere with Sulphur as an example (the Annunaki knew it must be Gold, to be effective).

The environmental pitch is that it would lower the Ocean's level 3mm. It's more likely the resorts on the Eastern shore would be the gating factor.

The Boring Company found a 10x reduction in tunneling costs. The Plasma Torch people will undercut them. 60km times four at 1km a day (x4?) means it could happen pretty fast.

.....once the relevant authorities sign off.

This is similar in scope to M. al-Qaddafi's Underground River that was destroyed.

This is an interesting one; testing the proscription on religion, I'll approach it this way everything after the subject turns to the Antichrist and the picture is the Pioneer staute on the State capitol in Salem, Oregon -- I disavow all that follows. I stopped watching at 12 minutes.

That said: Saudi Arabia Just Admitted They've Created Something So Advanced It Will Stun Everyone

Which s an overview of civil engineering projects in Saudi Arabia; a city, a megastructure, a ski resort in the desert, and my favorite --a yacht shaped like a turtle. Pangoes:

Pangeos: Saudi Arabia's $8bn Turtle-Shaped Floating City
23 Apr 2023Pangeos, the "floating city". Credit: Lazzarini Design Studio. Saudi Arabia has been proposed as a location for the construction of a massive turtle-shaped yacht, dubbed Pangeos.If the project is constructed, it will become the biggest sea vessel ever built, essentially a massive floating city.. Pangeos is named after Pangaea, a supercontinent that existed roughly two hundred million years

Now.... This needs to happens, but it's hydrodynamicaly unsound, like the Russian Czar's round yachts. Imagine trying to turn that thing, or keep it from not turning.*

Now imagine it recast as an ekranoplan! Now it all makes sense. It could even keep the wet bay.
________________

That being said, overall this shows that Chyna may not be the greatest threat to madkind. them being hobbled by a socialist government that sees mindless replication of brutalist towers to be the goal.

Saudi Arabia is nouveau riche mezmerized by glitz and glitter, with bottomless pockets. That's thanks to fossil fuels.

*Also, what with the Star Trek form-factor populated with suburban tract houses???
