By now, you have seen the Earth image by the #Artemis crew at least a hundred times. In this annotated version, several #optics effects are highlighted. It also shows how fragile planet #Earth is, with a super thin #atmosphere protecting us from the harsh vacuum of space.
Let's protect it.

@pfsmet and we're doing all we can to further thin that protective layer as fast as possible

@human3500 @pfsmet we're not thinning it we're adding an IR absorber to it - one that doesn't naturally decay on reasonable time spans for human civilization or the homo sapiens species.

That IR absorber significantly increases the capacity of the atmosphere to hold warmth on the surface. I'm 40 something years old and the majority of CO2 in the atmosphere has been added during my life-time.

Changes like that have happened in the history of our ecosphere but they would usually take millions of years. Not 40.

@missqarnstein
That's probably more accurate. My point is that we don't give a shit about it.
