MDO 191. CO2 = 4 + 6(2) = 16 Glasgow 1840. 50 percent of children died under the age of 5 years. Many worked in mines where the pit bottoms were like common sewers filled with slush and water with an inclination of one in three and along these common sewers the women, half naked, crawled on hands and knees, harnessed like horses to their bogies of coal. Little boys aged four or five, sat all day in the darkness at the trap doors cold and shivering, begging for a candle end for light

MDO 192. CO2 = 4 + 6(2) = 16 No.2 Prime minister Scott Morrison has finally unveiled his climate policy and it is clearly designed to do two things. Placate the core rump of climate deniers and ideologues within his own party and the conservative media, and try to fool enough others that the Coalition is doing something to address a problem it barely admits exists, or is worth doing anything about.

MDO 193. CO2 = 4 + 6(2) = 16 No.3

CO2 Lewis structure
So CO2 = 4 + 6(2) = 16. So, total valence electrons are 16. Carbon is the least electronegative that means it stays at the center. So, put the Carbon in the middle and then set the oxygen either side of that! 

MDO 194. CO2 = 4 + 6(2) = 16 No.4

C CO2 is a little different
L than might be expected.
I It has more of a linear arrangement
M to it? molecule.
A This is because the valence shell
T electron pairs
E will repel each other.
C When they do they are forced
H to the opposite side
A of the Carbon atom
N giving CO2 a line like
G molecular shape.
E The CO2 bond angle
IS will be 180 degrees
HERE since it has this linearmolecular geometry.

MDO 208. Stealing Dreams 2

this is the year 2020
this is the time
of dark orchids
for stealing dreams
Oxygen first appeared in the Earth’s atmosphere
around 2 billion years ago
this is a moment in history
for dark turmoil
Nobody wants your dance,
Nobody wants your strange glitter

MDO 207. Dancing The Dark Turmoil
Nobody wanted your dance,
this is not the time
Nobody wanted your strange glitter,
for dreams
your floundering
Drowning life
and your effort to save yourself,
this is a moment in history
when we need to be wide awake
So, put the Carbon in the middle
Treading water,
dancing the dark turmoil,
Looking for something to give.
and then set the oxygen either side of that!

MDO 214a. NOBODY WANTS YOUR DANCE

I followed with the greatest curiosity NOBODY WANTS YOUR DANCE crowds who carried in procession CO2 IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
an infinite number of idols THIS IS THE YEAR 2020 of the god Ganesh. NOBODY WANTS YOUR STRANGE GLITTER
Each little quarter of the town, SHE SURPASSED THE FRAGRANT BEAUTY each family with its adherents, THIS IS THE TIME OF DARK ORCHIDS

MDO 214b. CO2 IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT

each little street corner I may almost say, TREADING WATER organises a procession of its own, OF DARK ORCHIDS
and the poorest may be seen FOR STEALING DREAMS carrying on a simple plank DANCING THE DARK TURMOIL
their little idol of papier mâché... SO PUT THE CARBON IN THE MIDDLE A crowd, more or less numerous, THIS IS A MOMENT IN HISTORY

MDO 212b. DARK ORCHIDS

She trod underfoot the fairest of flowers. And trampled thin stems which poured forth their scent.
YOU HAVE STOLEN MY DREAMS . CO2 IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
THAN MIGHT BE EXPECTED She gave a great cry of eternal devotion
A sound that was desolate, passionate, long. And her red lips spoke slow words
About the great net of our intermeshed lives. and come here saying that you're doing enough,
Leaning on rainbows at the torrent's edge.
NOBODY WANTED YOUR DANCE as she wandered on the hillside.
