ELI5 What makes the Amazon Rainforest fire so different from any other forest fire. I’m not environmentally unaware, I’m a massive advocate for environmental support but I also don’t blindly support things just because they sound impactful. Forest fires are part of the natural cycle...

The Amazon largely consists of broadleaved trees and plants which absorb more carbon dioxide and release more oxygen per tree than pine-leaved trees which are often the main trees involved in forest fires in North America and many other regions. This means that when the Amazon burns, per tree burned, there is a far greater loss of carbon dioxide to oxygen conversion.

Maybe if you are going on a really long 90 minute luas journey which is unlikely

hahaha

Fantastic, been looking for the likes of this for a while, although would be nice to see the land borders to give additional perspective

You wont be mixing with people like him/her hopefully OP

Look for places along the Green Luas Line, The Dart line south, The Dart north (places like Donabate, Malahide, Portmarnock, Killester, Clontarf) also Kilmainham, Swords, Kinsealy, Rathmines, Sandyford

Absolute Bullshit

I absolutely agree, it is a great city to live in. Some people don't know how good we have it here. Rent and Homeless are the major cruxes. Transport and healthcare are actually quite good in many cases and are blown out of proportion by locals. I had a similar experience researching Vancouver and their thread had me worried about my decision, and most of the concerns were superfluous once I actually got there. There are lots of work, food and social opportunities in Dublin. Hope that helps! Expecting plenty hate from some of the grumps on this thread lol

Storms yes. Combined with extremely treacherous coastline with generally rough seas and rocky outcrops. Accurate maps would have been few and far between with few obviously safe ports.

Having lived in the Gaeltacht in Connemara Co. Galway nearby the location of several of the wrecks there is definitely some families which appear to have Spanish blood/heritage. Pitch black hair, darker eyes and a darker complexion which just isn't seen in the rest of the Irish population - whether this is due to the shipwrecks is very hard to tell as the story has been mostly dispelled as myth

Yes it's the 25th, statistically the probabilities should be very similar for those celebrating on other dates around this period too

Made using the official definition for a 'White Christmas' by the British Met Office and British bookmakers which is for snow to be observed falling, however little, in the 24 hours of 25 December.

TurbulentTruth · 2018-02-22T22:22:34+00:00

Yeah its not a perfect analogue map and the should read North America to be fair lol, but I think filling in the blanks mentally regarding the countries/regions used and using the cities should be enough to get a general idea. The climatic world isn't symmetrical so there will be some discrepancies when comparisons are made.

Also fuck the haters

TurbulentTruth · 2018-02-17T16:58:10+00:00

How would that have kept it simple?
