“It would take a big change in Earth‘s geology and chemistry for it to become exactly like Venus. But humans are pouring carbon dioxide into Earth‘s atmosphere right now at an alarming rate, shoving our climate in that high-carbon direction, which is a terrifying prospect. We do not want to become even a little like Venus.” #broil #QuotsyMay18 (NASA photo: global radar view of Venus without clouds)

(Day 19 - #Broil)

Not reading related, but I liked the quote. #broil #quotsymay19

Rude am I in my speech, And little blessed with the soft phrase of peace; For since these arms of mine had seven years' pith, Till now some nine moons wasted, they have us'd Their dearest action in the tented field, And little of this great world can I speak, More than pertains to feats of #broil and battle, And therefore little shall I grace my cause In speaking for myself.
— Othello Act I, scene 3

Day 19 - #Broil #CaptainWilliamKidd #QuotsyMay19

William Kidd, also known as Captain William Kidd or simply Captain Kidd (c. 1654 – 23 May 1701), was a Scottish sailor who was tried and executed for piracy after returning from a voyage to the Indian Ocean. Some modern historians, for example Sir Cornelius Neale Dalton (see Books), deem his piratical reputation unjust.
