I have long known that plastic “recycling” in less-developed countries meant bury or burn. Now it is becoming apparent that the same applies to developed countries too. Six percent actually recycled is worse than a joke, due recyclers’ contribution to micro plastic pollution. Waste-to-energy is the only way we’ll ever get a handle on the problem. Hopefully the dioxin-like byproducts will kill fewer of us than micro plastics themselves.

The astronauts are not stranded, merely delayed.

The article says "Chinese forces seized two Philippine rubber boats that were delivering food and other supplies to a military outpost". Maybe the pictured boat is the "military outpost", but nobody who sees it wants to board it.

I say “Yes”. There has to be oversight of the security apparatus, someone who can say “No, that is NOT a reasonable security classification.” Otherwise, only platitudes will come out of that black box of intelligence. Remember, they work for the elected government, not the other way round. Having said that, I am certain that SOME secrets are never disclosed to the higher ups.

“Humans can indeed move an asteroid.” By crashing into the asteroid at more than 4 miles per second!

This report is chilling as it reasonably describes a number of disruptive events with a high probability of occurring that likely cause fundamental and detrimental changes to our way of life in Canada. The scary headline “civil war in America” is really the least of a multitude of bad things very likely coming our way.

I can well imagine that is difficult to be passionate about some installation’s heating and cooling system. But problem solving IS something that many people are passionate about. Good distinction!
