#GreenhouseGas #emissions rose at ‘alarming’ rate last year, US data shows
#NOAA report shows rapid increase in atmospheric levels of #carbondioxide, #methane and #nitrousoxide https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/06/greenhouse-gas-emissions-noaa-report-us-data

"Methane levels are now more than two and a half times their pre-industrial level"
"Levels of nitrous oxide, the third-most significant #anthropogenic greenhouse gas, are now 24% higher than preâ"industrial levels"

This is the most definitive piece I’ve seen on #nitrousoxide …given that Tracy spent nearly 5 months working in this….deserves a long read https://mixmag.net/feature/nitrous-oxide-nos-uk-ban-government-dealers-investigation-health-panic

Matt on #NitrousOxide ban - political cartoon gallery in London original-political-cartoon.com

The Netherlands and Britain plan to ban laughing gas to stop drug use in parks and address antisocial behaviour caused by the drug.

So the government's solution to littering - since that seems to be the issue with nitrous oxide - is to ban the source of the litter. So can we now expect a ban on beer, Coca Cola, paper, etc etc?

Nitrous oxide: Possession of laughing gas to be criminal offence

Tories are ignoring their own guidance on #NitrousOxide aka #LaughingGas:

"a short way of getting high that is way less damaging in the long term than alcohol, much less likely to cause aggression,”... “We don’t ban bungee jumping [although] some people get retinal detachments; we don’t ban people jumping out of airplanes with parachutes, even though they break their backs; we don’t ban things that cause a lot more toxic damage to people’s bodies than nitrous oxide,”

Nitrous Oxide to be banned in the UK.

You're having a laugh. 😉

'Nuisance' laughing gas seller banned from city centre

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-64866767

This gas is recreational, but has long-term health effects.

Used canisters are an item frequently littered here in the UK.

It causes a problem in more ways than one.

Since birdsite has gone tits up….these pics are from a workshop I attended highlighting the risks of harms from #nitrousoxide use. The Smartwhip cylinder I’m holding I picked up right outside 1 of the franchise of shops ILLEGALLY selling this stuff 🤷‍♂️. Illegal under EXISTING legislation as Advisory Council on Misuse of Drugs stated…today https://news.sky.com/story/amp/nitrous-oxide-how-buying-laughing-gas-from-corner-shops-is-as-easy-as-buying-a-loaf-of-bread-12812979

too funny

The magnitude of #nitrousoxide production in the epipelagic zone of the subtropical #ocean covaries with #remineralization processes and thus acts antagonistically to weaken the radiative benefit of #carbon removal by the marine biological pump.
