You'll often hear it said by climate change skeptics that there are as many freak snowstorms in the world as there are freak heatwaves, and as such there's no such thing as global warming. Ergo, there's no such thing as human-influenced climate change. They're wrong. Climate change and global warming is not the same thing
Global warming refers solely to the insulating effect of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which will retain too much of the sun's heat when they become too dense. Climate change is the disruption to global weather systems caused by the imbalances of gas in the air. While that will sometimes mean hotter than usual weather, it also means snowstorms where no snowstorms have occurred previously. Take this picture, for example. It shows plenty of settled snow on the sands of Saudi Arabia in 2012. It's a nice novelty for the locals, and it looks pretty, but it's not a good sign. Snow shouldn't fall on Saudi Arabia. When it does, something is very wrong.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
