There are two ways to produce seafood: catch fish in the wild or farm your own. Seafood farming is often called “aquaculture”. Aquaculture is dominated by the farming of fish, but also includes other organisms, such as crustaceans and aquatic plants. Aquaculture has grown

We'll probably never get a full and open answer, but I'd love to know what changes have been to the algorithm since Elon Musk took over. Today's X feels pretty different, and I suspect quite a few changes have been made to what content the algorithm is promoting.

The carbon cycle has been close to equilibrium through the Holocene; we know this because we measure atmospheric CO2 concentrations in ice cores. But in the past few centuries CO2 has increased by 50%, and is now at the highest level in millions of years due to human emissions.
