Well actually good for the climate

One of the consequences of climate change

CNN published some satellite imagery how tunnel entrances that had been closed with strikes are now currently dug out.

They claim 50 out of 69 already have been opened, and work underway for the rest.

Do you have more information about this. The CNN article just showed few images.

And what do you say about the effectiveness of strikes on these targets?

Some images show craters near the entrances, so a variety of munitions have been used: LGB, GPS guided etc.

Another point: they just need excavators and trucks to repair the damage. So what does this make even a good direct hit on a tunnel entrance?

Hi

What Minecraft Mod / Addon / pack do you like and why do you like it?
How long did you use it?

Thanks for sharing

Hello,

do you know the Minecraft Game and World?

Imagine you could build the mechanics of global warming and climate change into this "universe".

How would you do that?

We are working on a mod for Minecraft (which will be available for free) and would like to know your suggestions and feedback. The idea is that especially young people get a sense for how global warming and climate change work.

Thank you very much

PS: all the action is done by volunteers.

Here is a draft of the first logic:

All kinds of activities would have a real world effect on CO2. 
Lets arbitrarily define burning one block of coal as 1 Unit of CO2.
One variable would be how much 1 CO2 unit (one block of coal burned) influences the worlds ppm. In a first iteration that could be 1 unit of coal increases the worlds CO2 by 1 ppm. (Remark: obviously that variable needs some tweaking). 

• Cutting the first block of a tree. In real life cutting a life tree stops the tree from getting CO2 out of the air. So cutting a life tree in Minecraft should have a direct effect. 
• Chopping wood blocks and taking them. When wood is left as such, it would store the CO2, so just chopping wood will have only a very small impact, as the chips from cutting decay, lets say chopping a block of would and taking it is 0.02 of a unit.  
• Chopping wood blocks and not taking them -> CO2 impact. Chopping a piece of wood and leaving it will result of the decay of that would. That would be the same as burning -> 0.25 unit.
• Crafting wood block. When you cut the wood into planks, there will be some leftover from the cutting. So crafting planks would give 0.02 of a unit 
• Crafting sticks. When you craft sticks then there is again some leftover from cutting. Lets say again 0.02 of a unit.
• Burning one block of coal, e.g. into a furnace (arbitrarily set to 1/1 unit)
• Burning one block of wood Burning would 1 cubic meter coal would be roughly giving 25% of CO2. So burning one block of wood will be 0.25 unit.
• Torches: Torches are a problem as they burn indefinite, which would not work in real life. Each torch contains a certain amount of coal. The most simple solution would be to release the CO2 when the torch is lit. The other version would be to release co2 constantly. 
• Extinguishing torches. Recovering or stopping torches would give a bonus. 
• Animals: Killing an animal would increase the CO2, (in the real world, when you eat meat, that meat will be reproduced). So lets give a cow 1 unit, a sheep ¼ unit, a pig ½ unit. And a chicken 1/10 of a unit. 
• Herding animals does not change anything.
• Getting animals to reproduce will increase CO2. E.g. in the real world each cow is producing a certain number of greenhouse gasses. So if the player gets animals to reproduce, then the CO2 is increased, e.g. 1 unit for a cow. 
• Planting a sapling: A full tree would give 4-5 solid blocks of wood, which take CO2 out of the atmosphere. So planting a tree would give you 1 unit credit. It would be great if this is actually given over the duration of the growing of the tree. E.g. if it takes 10 minecraft days for a tree to grow fully. You get 0.1 credit for each planted tree every day.
• Getting a stick from a tree by cutting leaves: No impact on CO2. 
• Crafting axes etc. from sticks - Very little impact 0.01 unit. (There would be some leftovers from the crafting process). 
• Crafting a bed: Very little impact. 0.01 unit. 
• Planting vegetation seeds for food: Reduces the CO2 in the world. 
• Eating vegetarian: No impact on CO2 as the plants take CO2 from the air and leave carbon in the ground as well.
