Is Elon Musk a Nutbag or not?
We met some of their “Cultists” in BVI last year.
They were like Jonestown crazy,
.
I truly feared for these young Millenials. So without a clue.

“where is the $ coming from?”

Cultists think it comes from Elon.
Tesla is a joke.

Hot carbon meeting water (which is where most hydrogen on earth is) produces a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. If this stuff welled up under the sea we might die of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The Soviets figured that out decades ago.

They are discussing the eventual eruption of Yellowstone which would have devastating consequences for human life and property ... and yet their focus is on “climate change”. :-)

Indeed this is a mortal coil.

“Molten carbon”???

Never heard of it. The closest thing I know about is tar, or creosote...both of them compounds.

If you try to melt carbon, it ignites. I suppose if you could heat it in the absolute absence of any other element...it might go to the liquid state.

Carbon likes to form strong bonds with other elements. I fear that the crystalline structure of granite, which is made of silicone, reacting with the molten carbon, may well form dilithium crystals.

Don't forget about the sodium in the sea salt. The ocean water may turn into a carbonated beverage.

A monoxide fizzy soda! Why not.

At atmospheric pressure, carbon would go from solid to gas. It needs to be compressed (which it apparently is, under the earth’s crust) to be liquid.

If it vented, we’d get some humongous flames.

Melted dead dinosaur farts, or something like that.

Of hydrochloric acid.

You know, when the o2 level was 31%, dragonflies had a four-foot wingspan, and bats were the size of leer jets.

Perhaps we could start an AlGore movement, “Stop the Global Climate Change - Stop The Rise of Oxygen! Or GIANT bugs will get you! And bury you in a box!”

Oldoinyo Lengai Is the only place on the planet where carbonate heavy lava erupts. Mantle carbonate rich material has not an iotas chance of erupting in the US unless a BIG nickel-iron meteor strikes the area at 10’s of miles per second.

You jest, but that’s actually the upshot of a boost of carbon dioxide (if it were real). The green plants go YUMMIES and they put out oxygen in the sunlight.

Given current levels of solar radiation and vegetation, that’s what we’d get.

LOT OF THAT stuff, and fortunately, I’m miles from it. At least 30. So I’m just not going to worry.

Yeah, I wanted to ping you to this - I find it funny.

Hey, if there was water on Mars, where did the air go? The pressure is below the triple point.
