Carbon, not carbon dioxide. When carbon is compressed under heavy pressure and heat it turns into diamonds, when the heat and pressure is removed it turns back into carbon.

Diamonds are carbon so they cannot turn into it. What changes is the crystal structure. Diamond forms under extremely high pressure and is only meta-stable when brought to atmospheric pressure. There it very slowly changes back to another crystal structure. There are 4 known crystal structures for carbon: amorphous (often called graphite if a mineral or soot if formed by flame), diamond, buckminster fullarenes (bucky balls, a geodesic structure) and graphene (a single atom sheet).

Under the normal pressures and temperatures we experience on the Earth’s surface, diamonds are actually thermodynamically unstable, slowly transforming into graphite. The process is far too slow for humans to notice, even in a lifetime. No one will mistake a piece of carbon for a diamond, or a diamond for a piece of graphite.

Even though N. Korea has 78 submarines, they in no way have the same firepower or capabilities of the American, Russian, or Chinese submarine fleets. The N. Korean submarine fleet is classified as a brown water fleet by NATO. The N Korean sub fleet patrols within 50 miles of each coast and are not even capable of supporting the fleet on the other coast.

I don't recall her name, but is it the female singer from Quebec from the 30's or 40's that was featured in the canadian tv commercials/vignettes from a few years ago, who had an international hit song?

There is 1 death for 25 persons climbing Mt. Everest or approx. 1 death for every 2 expeditions. Out of the approx. 3000 people that have climbed Mt. Everest 120 have not returned.
