  • That written looks way more impressive than 0.5 Mega tons, or 0.0005Gt, which is how global emissions are often noted.

    Now I'm curious how it ranks in scale with other emissions

    2. It hurts Biden because he is bound and tied to supporting Israel - thus helping his useful idiot drumft

  • Good question. Gasses certainly expand significantly when ascending to the roughly 5000' cabin pressure altitude.

    Which is readily apparent as the cabin quickly fills with farts. Yes, that's a thing.

    Dissolved gasses in the bloodstream will also be affected by this, though not quite as drastically. Still a thing a though. That's why you don't get on a plane (or even hike above 500m) within 24 hours after you've been scuba diving.

    But if you accidently do, or it's an emergency and you need to fly, at least for some flights you can ask the flight crew to raise the cabin pressure so you don't get bent.

    So all that said, yes, it certainly could be a possible contributing factor.

    And they charge quickly from any wall outlet, so not much additional infrastructure is required.

  • Well that's total bullshit.

    Among if not the top selling EV's in 2023 were the Bolt and the Model Y.

    And then Chevy discontinued the Bolt.

    Auto makers make higher profits on bigger, more expensive models. So of course that's what they offer.

    Anything smaller just cuts into that profit, so they prefer to not sell smaller cars at all.

  • MOSCOW, Jan 26 (Reuters) - • This content was produced in Russia where the law restricts coverage of Russian military operations in Ukraine

    More than a dozen tankers loaded with 10 million barrels of Russia's Sokol grade crude oil have been stranded off the coast of South Korea for weeks, so far unsold due to U.S. sanctions and payment issues, according to two traders and shipping data. The volumes, equating to 1.3 million metric tons, represent more than a month's production of the Sakhalin-1 project, once a flagship venture of U.S. major Exxon Mobil, which exited Russia after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

    Sakhalin-1 was one of the first post-Soviet deals in Russia made under a production sharing agreement. When Exxon Mobil left in 2022, output fell to nearly zero and hasn't fully recovered since. Difficulties in selling Sokol grade pose one of the most significant challenges Moscow has faced since the West imposed sanctions and one of the most serious disruptions to Russian oil exports in two years.

    Washington has said it wants sanctions to reduce revenues for President Vladimir Putin and his war machine in Ukraine but not to disrupt the flows of Russian energy to global markets.

    Last year, the United States imposed sanctions on several vessels and companies involved in transporting Sokol.

    As of Friday, 14 vessels loaded with Sokol were stuck around South Korea's port of Yosu, including 11 Aframax vessels and three very large crude carriers (VLCCs), according to LSEG, Kpler data and traders. The volume stored in tankers represent 45 days of production from Sakhalin-1, which averages output of 220,000 barrels per day (bpd).

    Supertankers (VLCCs) La Balena, Nireta and Nellis with some 3.2 million barrels onboard (430,000 metric tons), currently near South Korea's Yosu, are acting as a floating storage for the Russian oil grade, Reuters sources said and Kpler and LSEG shipping data show.

    The VLCCs previously accepted oil from several Aframax vessels via ship-to-ship, the data showed. Supplying oil volumes from smaller ships to bigger ones can save on freight.

    The rest of the Sokol oil loaded from November to January is stored on smaller Aframax vessels (able to carry 500,000-800,000 barrels) - Krymsk, NS Commander, Sakhalin Island, Liteyny Prospect, NS Century, NS Lion, NS Antarctic, Jaguar, Vostochny Prospect, Pavel Chernysh and Viktor Titov.

    Shipments of Sokol to the Indian Oil Corp (IOC.NS) have been delayed by payment problems, forcing India's biggest refiner to draw from its inventories and buy more oil from the Middle East.

    A source close to IOC said the company did not expect to receive any Sokol shipments soon due to a disagreement over which currency would be used to pay for it. IOC is the only state refiner that has an annual deal to buy a variety of Russian grades, including Sokol, from Russian oil major Rosneft (ROSN.MM)
