Just try to calculate the surface of a wall with measures in foot and inches. Either can handle two bases simultaneously (12 and 8) or you have to perform two conversions! Metric is way simpler in this case..

You can have it both ways. I thought that was the fundamental idea behind tricke-down economics, the theory pushed by the same people that are against minimum wage increases.
No, irreversible in ecological terms means that you move from a stable state with a given biodiversity level to another stable state with a different biodiversity level. Both communities (plant, animals, ecological functions) are stable but in the transition process, you might have lost a lot of species that become locally or globally extinct. Easing on the stressors (climate change) will not bring back your original communities. They are gone. It's like transitioning from rainforests to grasslands both are stable ecosystems with very different biodiversity levels and you might have lost the forests species for good.

Yeah, ecologists have no clue of tree phenology and ecosystem variability. Thank you Fragnet!

Yeah, very easy to get your hand on a Surface to Air missile. You've been playing too many video games.

Pixel art will die slowly, until few hipsters rediscover it, as a cool alternative to overproduced game rendering. Just saying...

BTW, its not about being surprised. Its about taking the moment of outrage and national attention and trying to effect change.
and give future lawsuits some standing....
