Not seen here is a large scale black stone called <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/syenite?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#syenite</a> and a jewelry shaped and high polished red <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/vånga?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vånga</a> a red granite from Sweden. The stones were picked as leftovers from other projects and with odd shapes not suitable for anything except art or they crush them to grit. Which I find depressing as those rocks have been dug up and their geological age is between 950-1200 million years.

Solarpunk Presents PodcastSeason Two Episode Eight: 50 Million Years of Climate Change with Dr Christina De La RochaHave you ever thought about how dinosaurs lived on a warm, swampy Earth and how we live on one that’s cold enough to keep pretty much the entirety of Greenland and Antarctica buried under kilometers-thick sheets of solid ice and wondered, hmm, how did we get from there to here? The short answer is that it took 50 million years of declining atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and dropping temperatures, not to mention building an ice sheet or two. For the longer story of the last 50 million years of climate change, including some of the reasons why, catch this episode of our podcast with Dr De La Rocha! You’ll hear about plate tectonics and continental drift, silicate weathering, carbonate sedimentation, and the spectacular effects the growth of Earth’s ice sheets have had on Earth’s climate. There are also lessons here for where anthropogenic global warming is going and whether or not its effects have permanently disrupted the climate system. Fun fact: the total amount of climate change between 50 million years ago and now dwarfs what we’re driving by burning fossil fuels, and yet, what we’re doing is more terrifying, in that it’s unfolding millions of times faster.
