More Evidence Identifies China as The Source of Mysterious Ozone-Destroying Emissions
For years, a mystery puzzled environmental scientists. The world had banned the use of many ozone-depleting compounds in 2010. So why were global emission levels [DOI: 10.1038/s41586-018-0106-2] [DX] still so high?
The picture started to clear up in June. That's when The New York Times published an investigation into the issue. China, the paper claimed, was to blame for these mystery emissions. Now it turns out the paper was probably right to point a finger.
In a paper [open, DOI: 10.1029/2018GL079500] [DX] published recently in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, an international team of researchers confirms that eastern China is the source of at least half of the 40,000 tonnes of carbon tetrachloride emissions currently entering the atmosphere each year. They figured this out using a combination of ground-based and airborne atmospheric concentration data from near the Korean peninsula.

my parents are originally from moscow, and I'm 90% fluent in Russian, so I guess you're right tupoy mudak. "-1"? you have your internet content censored by random people on the internet? literally everyone I know reads at -1, starting w/.in the late 90s. you're on the wrong site buddy. reddit is what you're looking for. here we wave loser hippies who preach peace of mind but can't hold a job, older nerds with managed autism, and a few like me who are mid-life corporate professionals. magic internet points are not relevant to any of those groups. reddit man. go back there - you're annoying and not very entertaining.

*sort* lol
An amusing dumbass at least. But that's cool you're almost fluent in Russian. One thing I regret in life was not learning Dutch from my great-grandma. Great-great-grandma came over to America on the boat. Great-grandma was fluent of course. Grandma was 90% fluent. Mom knew a few words. Me, I wound up studying German nearly to fluency instead because my high school offered it. Was a slacker class to most tho, but I like studying languages and wish I had more time to devote to it. I'd love to learn an African language some time.

I have no idea what your first line means - I'm guessing a grammar error. I am "almost" fluent in French too, having lived there for 4 years. I am far from fluent in Korean, Ukrainian, and Spanish. I understand Polish and Romanian but don't speak them. My wife speaks 4. I have also been to ~80 countries, and lived in many. I started in Biochem, switched to Physics with a minor in Calc, and did a year in college for a sound engineer, then another year for computer graphics at one of those "nationally-accredited" expensive ripoff schools you see ads on TV for. The Dutch are a pleasant people who sound like they are talking with food in their mouth. German girls have just the right amount of slutty before approaching euro-trash, I was banging one in Bavaria for a while. Berlin is full of neo-faggots. German is a harsh ugly language that seems to make everything sound like hate speech. If you like Dutch and also like niggers, Afrikaans should be easy for you to pick up. There is a catchy band from Leningrad that sounds a lot like Die Antwoord. You should do the skibbidi challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDFBTdToRmw [youtube.com]
My family didn't come over on a boat. We took a large plane. Parents being Chem PhDs helps with the means to take a large plane. If you like boats, you should talk to the Mighty Buzztard - he is also into boats. Any other bright off-topic things to say that avoid replying to the content? To a battle of wits, you come unarmed. That's alright - just keep calling people dumbass. 5th grade seems to be where your level of education and insults achieved their lifetime apex.
