Fire From Below
A slight change in perspective can do wonders. In this video, the Slow Mo Guys look at a burning flame from below. They accomplish this by mounting a gas grill upside-down. This small change means that buoyancy can’t simply lift heat and exhaust gases away from the flame source. Instead, the flow pushes out and around the edges of the grill.
The views are, as always, amazing. The billowing flames are mesmerizing–often closer to laminar than turbulent. And the added spectacle of cinnamon combusting in the later segments really does make for the kind of visuals you’d expect in a sci-fi movie. (Video and image credit: The Slow Mo Guys)

Seven charts that reveal how unprepared Australia was for the (fossil) fuel crisis
"It’s worth pointing out that the International Energy Agency (IEA) requires all member countries which are net importers of oil and oil products (including Australia) to maintain reserves equivalent to at least 90 days of imports."
"We’ve never fulfilled that requirement, and in fact have the lowest reserves by this measure among all IEA countries." >>

The 'petrol crisis' is not noticeable around here, it is the same speeding and idling behaviour as before.

"12 global #carmakers are scaling back their #electric #vehicle plans amid stubborn demand for #combustion #engines and a rollback of supportive policies in both the #US and #Europe "
Suicidal in every way you can think.

Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology), Marvin Gaye, 1971 >>
Whoa, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north, and south, and east
Whoa mercy, mercy me (mercy)
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury, oh, oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, oh no
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?... >>
