When man first walked on the moon, the carbon dioxide concentration in Earth’s atmosphere was 325 parts per million (ppm).

By 9/11, it was 369 ppm, and when COVID-19 shut down normal life in 2020, it had shot up to 414 parts ppm.

This week, our planet hit the highest levels ever directly recorded: 430 parts per million.

“This problem is not going away, and we’re moving further and further into uncharted territory, and almost certainly, very dangerous territory.”

    Well I dimly remember after the 30 year war (? It was a long time ago I learned about this, could have been the restoration after the Napoleonic wars) the church gave up vast swathes of Land in exchange for a set amount of dividends from the state.

    But given that was after a drawn out tumultuous war, so I see your point.

      Yeah, exactly. The war was the violence. It was a war.
