For example, I like 2 spaces for tabs for tighter indentation, but I can't do that in Python because the language designers decided that 4 spaces is exactly right for everyone
That is not the case. 4 is recommended, but you can use any number of spaces in Python.
Plus, Russia didn't meddle, and if they did, it wasn't to help Trump, and if it was, it didn't work, but either way there was no collusion and collusion isn't a crime anyway.
In a stable climate, the ratio of new record highs to new record lows is approximately even. However in our warming climate, record highs have begun to outpace record lows, with the imbalance growing for the past three decades. This trend is one of the clearest signals of climate change that we experience directly.
Trumps steel tariffs have created the worst kind of red tape. The exemption process gives the government control over who can purchase steel and from whom.
The point is that descriptive writing is very rarely entirely accurate and during the reign of Olaf Quimby II as Patrician of Ankh some legislation was passed in a determined attempt to put a stop to this sort of thing and introduce some honesty into reporting. Thus, if a legend said of a notable hero that “all men spoke of his prowess” any bard who valued his life would add hastily “except for a couple of people in his home village who thought he was a liar, and quite a lot of other people who had never really heard of him.” Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like “his mighty steed was as fleet as the wind on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three,” and any loose talk about a beloved having a face that launched a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed look like a bottle of champagne.
Quimby was eventually killed by a disgruntled poet during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb “The pen is mightier than the sword,” and in his memory it was amended to include the phrase “only if the sword is very small and the pen is very sharp.” - the Colour of Magic
Someone's really not a fan of the facts to have modded this down to 0. The Holocene data is from Fleming et al. 1998, Fleming 2000, & Milne et al. 2005. The more recent data is from CSIRO. The fact that sea level rise is accelerating may not be popular, but it should not be surprising. It's a natural consequence of thermal expansion and melting land ice due to global warming.
let's be REALLY generous and say that the extrapolated next two inches happen in 50 years rather than 100.
It's currently rising at 3.2 mm/year, so even at the current rate we'll see another 2 inches in less than 15 years. Not 100. Not even 50. 15.
But it's the second order derivative that you need to worry about. Sea level rose about 0.5 feet over the last century. Half of that occurred in the last quarter century. Sea level rise will be measured in feet over the next century.
Many of the conduits at risk are already close to sea level and only a slight rise in ocean levels due to melting polar ice and thermal expansion as climate warms will be needed to expose buried fiber optic cables to sea water.
Here's global sea level in which even a Slashdot editor could eyeball acceleration.
Engineers in New York City and Seattle probably...
We have more than your hunch to go on. The study referenced in the article suggests that "by the year 2033 more than 4,000 miles of buried fiber optic conduit will be underwater and more than 1,100 traffic hubs will be surrounded by water. "
We should just get the Dutch to build the Internet infrastructure.
Anyone could build infrastructure that can survive being submerged, Unfortunately, they didn't plan for that: "When it was built 20-25 years ago, no thought was given to climate change."
From the article: "Buried fiber optic cables are designed to be water-resistant, but unlike the marine cables that ferry data from continent to continent under the ocean, they are not waterproof."
If you're serious about climate change then you need to support nuclear power.
James Hansen, Kerry Emanuel, and others outline why nuclear is the only viable path forward on climate change. Nuclear power will make the difference between the world missing crucial climate targets or achieving them
Look at HadCRUT4 from 1895 to 1943, and then again from 1957 to 2005.
The trend from 1895-1943 was somewhere between 0.045 C/decade and 0.109 C/decade (2).
The trend since 1957 was somewhere between 0.112 C/decade and 0.154 C/decade.
They're not really close - there's not even overlap in the uncertainty - and possibly the current trend is over three times greater than that of the early 1900s.
Burning a gallon of fuel releases 20 pounds of CO2. That means this carbon capture solution would add. one or two bucks to the price of a gallon of gas. It may be a tenable alternative to abandoning fossil fuels.
California’s 2018 U.S. Senate election attracted nationwide attention in April 2018, not long after the publication of a poll showing that little-known Republican and committed neo-Nazi Patrick Little had 18 percent of support among likely primary election voters, second to incumbent Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein with 39 percent.
In the SurveyUSA poll, Little — who describes himself as a “white nationalist” — had greater support than four other candidates in the state’s open primary, which candidates of any party (or none) can enter. These included outgoing California Senate President Kevin de Léon, a Democrat, and businessman Rocky de la Fuente, a Republican.
If those poll numbers were to hold, Feinstein and Little would advance from the primary as the two top candidates and contest the general election in November. The Republican party would be represented in a national race by a candidate who advocates a future United States “free from Jews” and has repeatedly and unreservedly expressed anti-semitic and white nationalist views during his campaign.
But this is not limited to California:
Little is the third Republican candidate for national office during the 2018 electoral cycle to have expressed openly anti-semitic and racist views.
In March, former American Nazi Party leader Arthur Jones ran unopposed in the GOP primary for Illinois’ Third U.S. Congressional District, and will represent the party in November’s general election.
In Wisconsin’s First U.S. Congressional District, one of the Republicans seeking to replace retiring House leader Paul Ryan in November is Paul Nehlen, who has described himself as “pro-white” and frequently expresses virulently anti-semitic sentiments on social media.
In February 2018, Nehlen was permanently banned from Twitter after posting a racist cartoon in reference to the actor Meghan Markle — whose mother is black — after her engagement to Prince Harry was announced.

In the United States, the most recent decade (2000-2010) was the nation’s warmest on record. Record-breaking high temperatures are now outnumbering record lows by an average decadal ratio of 2:1. Record highs are occurring more often than record lows due to climate change.
In a stable climate, the ratio of new record highs to new record lows is approximately even. However in our warming climate, record highs have begun to outpace record lows, with the imbalance growing for the past three decades.

Trumps steel tariffs have created the worst kind of red tape. The exemption process gives the government control over who can purchase steel and from whom.
Trump's answer to the retaliatory tariffs is to dole out billions of taxpayer money to those affected. In this case the government will be picking the winners and losers.

It's been pretty flat for several thousands of years. Except recently it's been rising and is accelerating.

That is just one station. That you can find one station with little acceleration is not surprising. In aggregate though, there is acceleration.

Note the UK is also cheaper than Germany. Add that to your thinking on the Brexit discussions.
The UK may become Germany's China?
What if the objective was to create hype about record temperatures in order to advance a political agenda? Then where would we locate our instruments?
In that case use the satellite record which shows a warming trend greater than the surface station record.

Guess it's a good thing we can buy from Quebec...
Yeah, thank goodness for Quebec: Quebec generated 99.8% of its electricity from renewable sources in 2016, and had the highest percentage of renewable generation in Canada.
The problem is that the data doesn't match the models
IPCC projected warming of about 0.2C/decade. The trend on the satellite record is 0.19C/decade. Pretty damn good.
Look at HadCRUT4 from 1895 to 1943, and then again from 1957 to 2005.
The trend from 1895-1943 was somewhere between 0.045 C/decade and 0.109 C/decade (2).
The trend since 1957 was somewhere between 0.112 C/decade and 0.154 C/decade.
They're not really close - there's not even overlap in the uncertainty - and possibly the current trend is over three times greater than that of the early 1900s.
Nonetheless, if you want to understand this period you shoudl read the literature rather than conspiracy blogs: "Attribution studies estimate that about a half (40–54%; p >.8) of the global warming from 1901 to 1950 was forced by a combination of increasing greenhouse gases and natural forcing, offset to some extent by aerosols. Natural variability also made a large contribution..."
According to satellite data...
-geekpoet
Satellite data is consistent with land measurements
Trend for the NASA GISTEMP surface station record: 0.1732 per decade.
Trend for RSS remote sensing satellite record: 0.1948 per decade
Satellite shows a higher rate of warming, but roughly consistent with surface station record.
