What is the potential impact of Toyota's CO2-reducing product on Earth Day?
AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a perceived lack of widespread concern for environmental issues, suggesting that those who actively care for the planet are in the minority. A significant contribution to reducing carbon emissions is mentioned, specifically a product designed for Toyota that aims to decrease CO2 emissions by approximately 1 million pounds annually for every 100 large trucks. The emphasis is on the importance of individual contributions to environmental sustainability, even if the idea originated from elsewhere.

I recently designed a product that is in use, that Toyota says will reduce the CO2 emitted by about 1 million pounds per year per 100 large trucks. So there's my contribution this year. 
[ps, it wasn't my idea but I did design and engineer it. Also, off the top of my head I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but its something like that]

This is not something I need to know. Just that I am curious exactly why these three (or more?) different words which mean the same thing. What if anything, distinguishes each from the other? Cyclone, Hurricane, Typhoon.
I surely did look at the wikipedia articles on Cyclone and Hurricane but not so clear to me reading there.
(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....)
Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam.
What changed this...
On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.
