Cool video, for sure. For me it proves that 2 things can be true. In the sense that, obviously it's very heavy so most of it is attracted by gravity, and a small part of it goes to the atmosphere creating the problems.

Quite true. I do wonder what the root of the problem is. I honestly don't know. Fixing our economic-environmental destruction machine is a wicked problem.
I really don't know what you mean. Could you share a link or something?
Since it accumulates in the atmosphere, this tells me that it doesn't stay in the bucket. No?
Yes it's a gas but it's so heavy if you have a bucket you can put your head in it, inhale it, and speak deeeep the opposite of helium. It stays in the bucket
We could use some regulation and oversight.
Don't expect government nor companies to stop being shortsighted unless there's pressure to do the right thing.
It's a gas mainly. Maybe it is also used in dilutions? I really don't know.
From United States Environmental protection:
Yet it is also the most potent greenhouse gas known to date.
I taught a class on International Non-Governmental Organizations. A student asked me what my biggest fear was. I responded with something akin to I knew Climate Change was a big fear in my student body, but that Human Indifference was what kept me up at night.
It used to keep me up at night, and it still does, too.
Amazon's fucked, Global to temps are fucked, Ocean currents are fucked.... Humans - all good here.
How is it getting up into the atmosphere?
It's so heavy you can have a bucket filled with it and it won't spill out
Can we...can our governments and companies refrain from being greedy and shortsighted for one day? Just one. I could use the break.
Sounds like they're playing a quick game after picking up trash on the beach all morning.

10,000 to 25,000 gallons per day. Wide range because it depends on the cooling design, climate, and workload.
That's really weird. The link didn't work for me in Jerboa until I long held it and tapped open and external. So, thank you for that. I wouldn't have gone back and checked it again.
There's a link in the description just above, click it, scroll a bit down, and you'll see the map
I uh, don't see a map?
Not really that surprised since a lot of them are probably receiving "donations to do that and give the green light to start destroying Europe like they have done with America.
this is relying entirely on poore-nemecek 2019, which is poorly methodized. the conclusion can be right, but the "research" can't support this conclusion.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay.
Even if no births happen from today on, there will still be billions of humans on this planet for decades. We very much need to take action today instead of waiting
Postfossil, the longterm sustainable planetary human population is below one billion. Perhaps as low as 100 million. So there's definitely lots we can do here.
So do trees.
Decomposition gives off greenhouse gasses like methane, so even they aren't neutral.
It's a false equivalency to claim there's nothing we can do here. Emissions are significantly less large for eating plants directly compared to raising farm animals
Transitioning to plant-based diets (PBDs) has the potential to reduce diet-related land use by 76%, diet-related greenhouse gas emissions by 49%, eutrophication by 49%, and green and blue water use by 21% and 14%, respectively, whilst garnering substantial health co-benefits

Plant-based foods have a significantly smaller footprint on the environment than animal-based foods. Even the least sustainable vegetables and cereals cause less environmental harm than the lowest impact meat and dairy products [9].
No matter how you see it, only dead people are climate neutral.
