Provided by Red Star News, global warming causes large amounts of carbon dioxide to be absorbed by the ocean, leading to a rapid increase in seawater acidity

However, in the fossil sediments of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum period, paleontologists have discovered that in the seawater near the equator at approximately 38 degrees, small organic organisms like dinoflagellates, which cause "red tides," began to proliferate massively.

Currently, water bodies in regions worldwide are dealing with similar situations: hundreds of so-called "dead zones" have been recorded across the globe, including multiple locations such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Baltic Sea, facing the risk of reverting to the "PETM period."

Experts state that the current rate of carbon emissions is unprecedented

In fact, scientists often use the PETM period as a benchmark to compare modern climate change. But research indicates that due to the pace of current global warming now far exceeding any climate event post-dinosaur extinction, we are reaching this benchmark faster than previously anticipated.

A study released in 2019 showed that humans are now releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at a rate 9 to 10 times that of the PETM period 56 million years ago. The study suggests that if carbon emissions continue to rise, then by the year 2159, the total amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere since humans started using fossil fuels could be equivalent to the total release during the PETM period.

Gabriel Bowen, a geophysicist at the University of Utah, stated, "If everything proceeds as usual, even with the PETM as a background reference, the current rate of carbon emissions is unprecedented. Therefore, in understanding how Earth responds to this change, we don’t have many geological examples for reference."

Editor’s Note: Currently, the mainstream method in the medical field for diagnosing mental issues is the use of checklist systems, where clinicians compare the list of symptoms with the patient’s reported experiences to determine the type of disease. However, the symptoms of depression and anxiety have many similarities, making it difficult for both patients and professional doctors to distinguish between these two diseases. Nevertheless, given the similarity of medication for these diseases, the inability to distinguish between them does not significantly affect the treatment results. Even so, scientists are actively exploring this domain, trying to refine the classification of diseases to provide tailored treatment plans for patients. This article, translated from Medium, was written by Erman Misirlisoy, PhD, originally titled "Is It Depression, or Is It Anxiety?" It is hoped that you will find it enlightening.

How do anxiety and depression begin, and how do they end?

In 2017, the World Health Organization estimated that 4.4% of the global population (over 300 million people) had depression and 3.6% (over 250 million people) had anxiety disorders. Yet there is a fact that makes this situation more complicated: many people with depressive symptoms also exhibit anxiety symptoms, and many people with anxiety symptoms also show depressive symptoms. This makes it challenging to reliably diagnose and differentiate these two diseases.

The current mainstream method for diagnosing mental health issues is using checklist systems, such as the latest version of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" (DSM-5). Clinicians compare symptom lists with patients’ reported experiences. If a person persistently feels depressed and worthless, they might be diagnosed with major depressive disorder. If a person typically experiences ongoing anxiety and irritability, they might be diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. But looking across the standards for each disease, it’s not hard to see many commonalities. For example, depression and anxiety both interfere with daily activities, impair sleep, and drain one’s energy.

The primary distinction between these two diseases lies in a person’s basic emotional state: extreme sadness can be defined as depression, while extreme fear or worry can be defined as anxiety. But we can also easily understand the connection between the two. When people feel sad about their lives and past experiences, they also feel anxious about their future life’s direction. When people feel anxious about the future, they simultaneously feel sad about their current lives.

Due to the substantial overlap in symptoms between anxiety and depression, and because patients can display the same symptoms for different reasons, clinicians must consider the overall situation when making diagnostic decisions. Huck said, "The DSM must comprehensively consider the entire clinical picture for depression or anxiety (or both), rather than focusing on any particular symptom or sign." Most people diagnosed with anxiety or depression also seem to display symptoms of other diseases. As Rother said, "Comorbidity is the norm."

According to a report from Quick Technology citing foreign media, recently at Tesla’s 2021 shareholder meeting held in Austin, Texas, Musk shared with reporters a new goal of his: he hopes to establish a city with 1 million residents on Mars before 2050 through SpaceX, and build a Tesla factory there.

Musk stated that Tesla’s first extraterrestrial factory might take many years, and although the development in the next 40 years is uncertain, he hopes to see it on Mars before passing away. Besides, Musk also mentioned that as Tesla’s factories in Austin and Berlin are built and operational alongside those in Fremont, California, and Shanghai, new factories might also be constructed.

The report from the 19th National Congress proposed: allowing more middle vocational students to receive better and higher-level vocational education. With the release of the "National Vocational Education Reform Implementation Plan" in early 2019, vocational education and ordinary education have gained equal importance, which has been clearly defined by policy.

As of September 2020, Chengdu City had 87 medium vocational schools and 184,000 students enrolled. Among them, the dual certification rate of graduates reached 83.8%, and the employment rate remained above 98%. The export and success of middle vocational students have received layer-by-layer attention from central to local levels.
