On This Day In History

December 5th, 1995: American geochemist Clair Cameron Patterson died.

In addition to being responsible for the current most accurate calculation for Earth's age--4.55 billion years, a number that's been unchallenged since the 1950s--he was a prolific activist responsible for a steep decrease in American exposure to lead pollution. He was largely responsible for banning leaded gasoline and leaded solder (used in food cans).

Patterson suffered severe professional repercussions for his activism from other scientists, supposedly neutral research organizations, and large corporations. After more than a decade of work, his success in creating policy measured showed Americans experienced an 80% drop of lead levels in the blood.

This man is the reason lead isn't in gasoline and paint and pretty much anything anymore. His name is Clair Cameron Patterson. Today is the day he died. Honor his ass and remember: deregulation means putting lead back in shit. Fight against it. Always. Companies want to put it back, they hate that they have to go out of their way to keep people healthy. Don't let them. Ever.

it's december 5th

happy clair cameron patterson day to all tumblrites who celebrate 🎉

can't find the original thread but he's a scientist that fought for the removal of lead from gasoline, paint, pipes, and cans. it has lead to an 85% drop in lead levels in children's blood and an decrease in violent crime (as lead exposure leads to increased aggression)

He is responsible for a large decrease in the lead in children’s bloodstreams.

"This whole act’s immutably decreed. ’Twas rehearsed by thee and me a billion years before this ocean rolled."

I love this. Both like, how writerly it sounds and also the fact that Ahab is subscribe to the age of Earth being billions of years old over 100 years before Clair Cameron Patterson determined it at 4.55 ± 0.07 billion years.

Doctor Clair Cameron Patterson not only discovered the the true age of the Earth with his research in Lead-dating, but during this process he accidentally discovered the dangers of lead contamination. Then he went “wait, we’re putting this shit in gasoline, cans, paint, etc.” He then began campaigning against lead in everyday products. In particular, he targeted the gasoline industry. You can imagine how that went in the courtroom. He was vilified, excluded, and slandered against but kept pushing for lead to be removed from gasoline. Took decades, but obviously lead was removed from gasoline almost entirely by 1990.

I would recommend that everyone read the Wikipedia page for Thomas Midgley Jr because the way it’s set up is just so scathing. it leads with a quote on how he “had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history.” it’s crazy

meanwhile Clair Cameron Patterson’s (the guy who is credited with the removal of lead from gas and can soldering) page leads with how he discovered a much more accurate way of dating the age of the Earth, & his estimated age has been “largely unchallenged” since. the juxtaposition is so funny. fuck that other guy

Sometimes its common that some films comes out without my knowledge, particularly non-Hollywood English language films. This British film was about a wealthy couple from the New York, especially the husband who tries his best to fulfill his seriously ill wife’s dream to be an opera singer. The problem is she’s not any good. Not just him, but everybody who is close to them and once laughed at her, try to understand them and give their support. But not all the occasion seems to remain the same. So on one such a big event, the disaster strikes and how it affects the couple is the rest of the tale to disclose. A very surprising film. I thought it was just a comedy like it brings small smiles on our face, but I laughed out loud on many occasions. This is definitely a right time, because I felt like it was a music and cinematic version of the American presidential candidate Don Trump. Yep, there not much difference, but still this ...
