Biggest sources:
- 7.6 Mt from macro plastics breaking down
- 1.3 Mt from paint
- 1.0 Mt from tyres
10-40 Mt released into environment/year, and increasing.
Wouldn't it be better to go back a little further back in time, and give the weapons before the flogging and rapes?
Answer: "The lifespan of these wasps is only 5 days"
"it's brain cells get rid of their own nucleus and all its stored maintenance information. The neurons already exist, so maintenance is the only task [...] requiring DNA, and they don’t live long enough for that to matter at this point"
"No nucleus or DNA frees up half of a neuron’s volume"
The crust is minuscule compared to the core and mantle.
The mantle makes up about 84% of Earth’s total volume. The temperature varies from about 1 300 K (1 000°C, 1 832°F) near its boundary with the crust, to 4 000 K (3 700°C, 6 692°F) near its boundary with the core. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/mantle/
The temperature in the Earth's core is uncertain: estimates at the inner core boundary range from 4 000 K to 8 000 K and at the core–mantle boundary from 3 000 to 4 500 K. https://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfbdxa/pubblicazioni/nat.pdf

Another animated movie, Antz, was released the same year:
Worker Ant: A worker? That's impossible. A worker can't do anything, except work.
Female Ant: Yeah. It's not like we got a choice.
Azteca: We do have a choice. [...]
Worker Ant: Wait a second. You're tellin' me, I don't have to be here?
Female Ant: We've got a choice?
Worker Ant: The authorities don't want you to know, but
we don't have to work on the tunnel any more.
Worker Ant: It's the workers who control the means of production.
"Please stop torturing us to death." - 2 trillion fish per year.
"Please stop enslaving us in torturous conditions." - hundred of billions of factory farmed animals per year.
Maybe the ones who got it wrong is because they got their copy from Reuters who got it wrong:

(tho these 2 have maps showing all the landing locations)
"On oil and gas companies who have spent decades burning fossil fuels - ramping up the world’s carbon emissions - Mehta said the law couldn’t go back in time and punish past activities."
Since we gave people the death penalty at the Nuremberg trials ex post facto, we can do the same with anthropogenic climate change. I would support such death penalties now already, tho I suspect more than a hundred million people would have to die directly from unambiguous climate change events within a short period like a week, before more people would agree. The problem is that the climate-change tipping-points will cascade, which means that the 1st one may cause other tipping points to be triggered, at which point billions of people will die unnecessarily in a Mad Max world.
"Enslave" is a bit harsh, considering there are about 38-50 million people who are currently slaves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_21st_century
We're choosing to allow a lot of the things these companies are doing to us; but we could choose to walk away at the cost of some shiny things.

Did the Staten-Generaal supervise the Heeren XVII, was it the other way round, were they usually the same people, or did it not work like that?

"Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities - and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, [...] you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The public sucks. Fuck hope.'" -- George Carlin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBrbXOmnW70
I don't completely agree: slavery is now illegal; so there's hope they'll one day vote to oppose omnicidal biosphere destruction, and genocides.
