December 27, 2024How Much Does Meat Actually Cost?
To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
Externality: a cost or benefit caused by an activity that affects other parties but is not taken into consideration (e.g. by being reflected in purchase prices)
Hidden cost: a cost not included in the purchase price, such as additional expenses, opportunity costs, or externalities
Social Cost: an expense to society that is the sum of the private costs paid by a firm or individual, and the externalities paid by other parties
Reducetarianism: the practice of eating less meat (& dairy, eggs, & other animal products), which may be appealing because not everyone is able or willing to follow a completely meat-free diet.

December 23, 2024How Many Mass Extinctions Have There Been?
To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
Mass Extinction Event: a significant, global decrease in the diversity of life
"Big 5": The five biggest mass extinction events since the Cambrian explosion of Life 550 million years ago
Biodiversity Crisis: Like a mass extinction, a biodiversity crisis is a marked depletion in diversity in the fossil record. Some scientists prefer to call the late-Devonian extinction a "biodiversity crisis" because a lack of speciation contributed to the loss in diversity just as much as extinction did.
Diversity curve: A line chart that shows the diversity of life (usually by genera, but sometimes by species or family) over time
Lagerstatte: a deposit of sedimentary rock that contains a profound number of fossils, often with excellent preservation
Shareholder Quorum Subsampling: A statistical method that corrects for some of the biases in the fossil record, allowing scientists to generate more accurate diversity curves
