Default OT. What on Earth?


What on Earth is a show on the Science channel. It was showing results
from a satellite named GOME. Its job is to monitor ozone levels. It
spots
other things as well. Scientists were a bit baffled by a big cloud over
the
U.S. The cloud covered a large share of the country east of the Rockies.
It turns out the cloud was because of the countries corn crop growing.
The U.S. corn crop puts out 40% more oxygen then the Amazon rainforest.

Any guess about which component of the atmosphere has the most effect on global warming and cooling? Hint - it's not CO2 or methane.

I thought dihydrogen monoxide was outlawed years ago because of the number of deaths it causes? It's had to get rid of because there is so much of it. I just flushed some down the toilet a while ago. o_O

I've been seeing on the internet stories about Subway Sandwich shop
using a chemical called DHMO (dihygroden monoxide) in their bread that
is supposed to be and industrial solvent used in fire retardant
materials and is waste from nuclear power plants, it is supposed to be
toxic.

There are 2 issues that I have with "What On Earth":

1 - I hate the flickering, flashing, whatever you want to call it "camera
work". So distracting, so annoying, so not necessary.

2 - Everything is such a mystery, so sinister, so conspiratorial...until it
isn't.

Sometimes they really stretch to come up with possible explanations
just to fill time. e.g.

"Could it be that these ancient ruins were built by people from the
Terameatabic tribes as an offering to the Gods of agriculture during a
drought?"

"No, because the Terameatabic tribes lived on the other side of the world
10,000 years before the earliest documented date of the ruins."

So why the h*ll did you even bring it up? Couldn't you have found a tribe
that at least lived on the same hemisphere in the same frigging millennium?

Sheeesh!
