“I don’t think we’re born with a natural tendency to protect the environment. I think it’s something we learn if we’re educated and brought up to have the manners to care for the world. At some stage in our lives, the greed factor became stronger, and that has led us to the horrible situation we’re in now. A CHANGE IS NECESSARY, and I believe my films convey that.“ - Hayao Miyazaki

XKCD’s excellent presentation on historical global temperature and anthropogenic global warming. 

[After setting your car on fire] “Listen, your car’s temperature has changed before.”

A visible shockwave. This image of an explosion was captured at the Defence Research and Development Canada. 

[jackofcastles-deactivated202112]

Quick physics: the reason you can see the edge of the shockwave is because the pressure of the expanding explosion has squashed the air at that point to a higher density. The higher-density air slows down light passing through it and causes it to change direction (called refraction), giving that distorted mirage-like line.

The same effect causes ‘puddles’ to appear on hot roads and is why clear water is usually deeper than it looks.

The Slow Mo Guys have an excellent video about shockwaves which is immensely satisfying to watch and does a great job of demonstrating just how fast a faster-than-sound detonation is. Link here
