#Horror #movies where everyone is afraid of a #fish ...

The nights are getting longer again, #Halloween is coming soon too and that’s why I wanted to recommend you 3 #shark horror movies. I don't recommend the movie "Jaws" here, because everybody knows this classic. These movies are not for biologists, because the sharks behave totally illogical and partly self-destructive.

  1. Open Water: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/83-open-water
    On vacation, the couple takes part in a dive. They get a little away from the group and when they return to the ship it is gone. There is no land anywhere to be seen.

  2. The Shallows: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/332567-the-shallows
    There is nothing better for her than to travel to lonely beaches to surf. But on this beach she is attacked by a shark and can just save herself on a small rock. Now she is stuck on it and is circled by the shark.

  3. 47 Meters Down: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/403119-47-meters-down
    Two sisters want to dive in a cage and watch sharks on vacation. The cable breaks and the cage sinks to the bottom of the sea. Dangerous sharks can emerge from the darkness at any time. Should they wait in the cage for rescue or try to swim to the surface?

Jaws

When an insatiable great white shark terrorizes the townspeople of Amity Island, the police chief, an oceanographer and a grizzled shark hunter seek to destroy the blood-thirsty beast.

Should Fukushima Release Radioactive Water?

(long read + video ;))

Kyle Hill - Should Fukushima Release Radioactive Water?

https://youtu.be/UwFoOVyB40s
https://redirect.invidious.io/UwFoOVyB40s

Disclaimer: I might not have as much knowledge about radiation as kyle hill, but still i'm pretty good and deep into this topic for neurodivergent reasons and out of curiosity/interest. ;)

So ..... _that_ they're going to release this water, was a non-issue for me from the get go. Other nations and power plants release _far_ more radioactive residue per year, as fukushima daiichi is going to release. (On top of that, he says that in the video, we have about 8 kilogram of diluted thorium in the oceans. The amount of thorium in the water which will be released over _decades_ is _just_ 3 grams.)

Kyle Hill nicely show up the facts, provided from tepco, but they are in accordance with international scientific standards.

On top of that, he actually takes a tour to the power plant, looks at the cleaned water itself.. And feels confused.

I have to second that. They tried to make american class advertising premium quality bullshit PR.

Going along with kyle, i agree. Still. While ethically not so ideal and perfect. They need to get their word out.

And, there is no viable alternative as to treat the water as best as chemically possible.... and release the remaining bit of thorium we can't get out into the oceans.

For ah so many reasons sadly.

But _ONE_ which is actually the reason, which turned me away from the "nuclear bridge technology" idea and concept.

That we could and should use nuclear power, as a bridge, for powering us while we try to build alternative and regenerative power sources like wind and solar energy.

And _my_ personal reason, why the fukushima daiichi accident actually really and completely changed my mind, is similar to the reason, why they now need to start to release that water.

It's basically business administration and economics.

We can't economically build really safe nuclear power plants, where we include _all_ costs, from the mining for resources, building a plant, purifying fuels, maintaining fuel and plant, recycling fuel as far as possible, and safely dismantle a plant after it's lifetime _and_ store all the irradiated and naturally radioactive stuff until it becomes harmless lead in millions of years.

It's just not possible.

In a perfect utopia, where our main focus would not be the creation of profit, but research and safe handling of technology.. It would maybe be possible.

But in this capitalistic world? No way ever ... sadly, but realistically.

Like, it was the frickin main reason in chernobyl as well as in fukushima:

Both plants essentially failed not just by neglect or bad management. But because at some point, someone took the cheap route..

Costing thousands of ppl their lives and millions of ppl their homes.

That's why i principally think, nuclear energy is a bad idea. We can't handle it safely .. and as long as capitalism rules the world, we never will be.

Getting that out.... Kyle Hills video is really good and gives a few things to think about .... not just for today, but for the future too. ;)

And still ... they need to get rid of all that treated water... Again, for freaking economical reasons... _meh_

‘We’re changing the #clouds.’ An unintended test of #geoengineering is fueling record #ocean warmth

Source: https://www.science.org/content/article/changing-clouds-unforeseen-test-geoengineering-fueling-record-ocean-warmth

By dramatically reducing the number of #ship tracks, the #planet has warmed up faster, several new studies have found. That trend is magnified in the Atlantic, where maritime #traffic is particularly dense. In the shipping corridors, the increased light represents a 50% boost to the warming effect of human #carbon #emissions. It’s as if the #world suddenly lost the cooling effect from a fairly large volcanic eruption each year, says Michael Diamond, an atmospheric scientist at Florida State University.

“Climate change” isn’t just about the climate being different. It’s about a highly complex and interwoven system shifting how it operates, and the cascade of consequences is almost certainly going to take us by surprise. Our world is far more intricately interdependent than we generally appreciate. And there will be more things like this:

Happy Marine Day from Okinawa!

Marine Day (海の日, Umi no Hi), also known as "Ocean Day" or "Sea Day", is a public holiday in Japan usually celebrated on the third Monday in July. The purpose of the holiday is to give thanks for the ocean's bounty and to consider the importance of the ocean to Japan as a maritime nation.

Humans pump so much #groundwater that #Earth’s #axis has shifted, #study finds

Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/26/world/pumping-groundwater-earth-axis-shifting-scn/index.html

Between 1993 and 2010, the period examined in the study, humans extracted more than 2,150 gigatons of groundwater from inside Earth, mostly in western North #America and northwestern #India, according to estimates published in 2010. To put that into perspective, if that amount were poured into the #ocean, it would raise global sea levels by about 0.24 inches (6 millimeters).
