CONTEXT: One Health is defined as an integrated, unifying approach, in which health problems are looked at and studied through the combined lenses of human, animal and environmental health. However, in many cases, "One Health" approaches are just doctors and veterinarians patting each other on the back, while actual environmental work is largely forgotten.

 

Context (for those who might not be in academia): many academic publishing companies (like Elsevier) charge exorbitant prices for researchers to get their papers published as open access. Meanwhile, none of these researchers actually get anything in return for it (except for major street cred if their papers get highly cited)

Context: after eating a death cap (Amanita phalloides), you'd notice a few of the symptoms at first, but these usually resolve after a day or two. After this, you'll enter a latent phase where you feel fine, but your liver and kidneys slowly start to fail. By the time you notice, it's usually already too late.

While it definitely looks promising to use hydrogen for the no-carbon benefits, you do still have to wonder about other environmental impacts. What's going to happen to when the hydrogen pockets empty? Land subsidence could potentially be a problem, so I think more research about possible side effects is absolutely necessary before any large scale extractions happen.
