What was Cain thinking?

He wasn't.

I have a sad feeling that a lot of people here think that "canned champignons = mushrooms".

I am curious, are Estonians one of the "mushroom hunting" nations? Because it is a sort of national obsession here in Czechia

Expected temperature changes in a business-as-usual CO2 emissions scenario:

Spoiler :

Based on the Hadley Center HadCM3 climate model. (Source) The arctic and northern South America get the biggest effects. The arctic prediction makes easy sense: ice-melt and albedo change. I don't get the South American prediction.

There hasn't been much snow where I live in the last few years, and it seems to me the winters in the lowlands are really getting warmer. When I was a kid, there was a lot of snow each winter.

Anyway, this is more of an altered map, though I admit the border between which is which may be a bit fluid.

Well you could trivially turn it into a chart by plotting the (0,0) co-ordinate (equator on the Greenwich Meridian) and then having f(x,y) be "Projected temperature increase at distance x,y from the point where the equator meets the greenwich meridian"

But yes it's more of a map...

Absolutely.
Mushroom hunting is a great recreational activity. Not to mention the proceeds are absolutely delicious, if you know what you are doing!

Amen to that

Learning which mushrooms are edible and which are poisonous is something children here learn very early. I used to have the handbook memorized as a child

A graph with timeline of the samples in "What it's all about" by Girl Talk.

A graphic representation of the gravity on Earth:

(There's a science quiz show every end of the year on dutch telly. This time it had the question: if all the ice on Greenland melted, how much higher would waterlevels rise in the Netherlands? There's enough ice on Greenland to make the levels rise 7-8 meters, so most people answered 7-8 meters. However ... the mass of all the ice in Greenland already affects our waterlevels. Greenland draws so much water to it, that it causes a rise of 4-5 meters on our shores, since we're pretty close to Greenland. If all that ice melted, it would rise sealevels worldwide with 7-8 meters. But because we would lose the gravity-effect of the mass of ice, it would also drop 4-5 meters. So, the bottomline was: the sealevels on our shores would rise only by 3 meters)

The gravitation of the ice is big enough to attract considerable amounts of water? It makes sense, but it sounds weird.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

There's about 2.900.000.000.000.000 litres of water in iceform in Greenland, which is about 2.900.000.000.000.000 kilos. So, in effect there's a small moon sitting there pulling on the water.

Oh my, I hate sampler songs.

There hasn't been much snow where I live in the last few years, and it seems to me the winters in the lowlands are really getting warmer. When I was a kid, there was a lot of snow each winter.

I keep thinking that as well, but then I'm not sure if it's just observation bias or an actual trend.

Stuff like this is why I started this thread

May be, but it's really been marked in the last 5 years or so. When I was little, there was lot of snow even here in southern Moravia which is normally about the hottest part of Czechia. Lately, not so much, if any. And if the climatologists are right, we'll soon have a sort of a Mediterranean climate here - which would suck since we don't have the sea to go with it (Can't we somehow flood the Pannonian Basin? Pretty please, with a cherry on top? )

Yup, gravity can be bumpy. So much so that even though the Moon doesn't have an atmosphere, the orbits of probes above it tend to degrade because the gravity is uneven.

BTW, here's my favourite space-related chart (it shows delta-v you need to reach various destinations in the inner Solar System. The red vines represent the possibility of aerobraking):

What a tragic mistake to make in life.

(although even these are not bad)

I avoid the eating of any fungus.

Your post is the first time I've heard of "canned mushrooms".

Then what the anti-gravity properties of Sri Lanka?

Canada, why are you so surprisingly urban?

Looks more monstrous

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Lots of land, not so much population. You do the math.

Plenty of interesting charts here about peoples' attitudes towards piracy. It shows a lot of conflict between what people think is right and what people actually do; between what people think is wrong and what people think should be done about it.
