    funfact: because water itself has weight, it produces gravity, therefore it pulls more water towards itself, therefore more water collects in some parts of the world than other.

    for example: most of the extra water that comes from global warmings, collects at the pacific because it has a larger surface, therefore US Eastcoast and Europe see very little change in sealevel, while some pacific islands are already gone.


    epistemic status: I remember reading this info a couple years ago, but the best source I can found now is that sentence from wikipedia:

    Changing ice masses also affect the distribution of sea water around the globe through gravity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise



  • I’m not asking you to spend all day trying to clean the park but you should at least do your best to not make it worse

    that is a useful mindset for those who fear a systemic solution.

    the people who would have to organise instead spend their effort on other things, like cleaning up dog shit; Or arguing how much shit you need to clean up, before you are morally allowed to advokate for a systemic solution.

    the more the anti-dogshitters are splintered, the easier it is for the pro-dogshitters to keep the status quo
