adding #science #fact #reason to your political opinion doesn't make it right
neither does one study. I don't believe there's been an honest attempt to engage with the literature.

- flood some actual, boring, unsexy, everyday science into the #science tag.

A sleeping giant?
“These (#carbon) deposits rival #FossilFuels in terms of their size. It's like having a whole additional supply of #coal, #oil and natural #gas out there that we can't control,” says James White, a geochemist at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Only 5-20% of the world population has ever taken a flight.
Of the few percent of the world population who have ever flown, an even smaller proportion flies regularly. For example, numbers for England show that 10% of the residents take more than half of the flights abroad.
