If you want to know what climate change is going to look like, just look around.
We have extremem drought in the SW colder, and snowier in the NE ice storms down south and in the MidWest we have had a long period of really cold (below 250Kelvin) weather - normally thats just in mid january. And it was too warm for the Sochi winter olympics Extreme heat in Australia etc Then of course we have had severe storms like Sandy
"If all ice in both the south pole and Greenland melts the sea-level will rise with about 80m. To get above 100m we will need to import water from another planet."
Water is just an oxide of Hydrogen There is still a lot of free O2 in the atmosphere Sp when we burn fossil hydrocarbons (oil, natural gas) we get more water in the atmosphere, and the oceans, as well as more CO2
The time of spring varies in different parts of the world. Where I was brought up, spring was in late September or early October, and where I live now its in May.
Nuclear weapons don't work that way, You can't take some of the Uranium or Plutonium out and make a smaller yeild weapon.
In fact the warheads in the US strategic arsenal have Thermonuclear warheads (hydrogen bombs) with a small nuclear fission trigger. If you take out some of the fissile material in the trigger its not going to go boom at all.
" the belief that the creation of the universe is documented in a 2000 year old book,"
Genesis is in the old Testament, so its more like a 3400 year old book.
The "Creationists" in the USA should be called 'Young Universe Creationists' or YUC's They think that the universe is only N thousand years old, whereas scientific evidence points to N billion years, and many 'People of Faith' in the rest of the world don't agree with their interpretation.
Another advantage of having a towable generator is that it could be used to power a house in those places that don't have underground power lines. Storms (both winter and summer) are only going to get worse as the temperature of the ocean increases...
"but let's say 6 liters per 100km. 60 liters tank. what do you get? 1000km."
Fuel economy is measured in miles per gallon, the metric equivalent of which is kilometres per litre I can't get my head around an inverse measure..
Anyway not everyone needs to be able to go 1000Km in one trip, but 300 - 400Km would be useful, since cities are farther apart in the USA than EU FWIW its 300Km from here to The Cities, and 400Km from FM to The Cities
And after 4 - 5 hours you'd probably want to stop for a meal, so your batteries can be recharged then (assuming a restaurant meal and not McD's or KFC)
Whatever happened to JMS ? Babylon 5 was the best SF on TV IMHO
And also what happened to the creators of the Stargate series's . I admit SGU wasn't as good as SG1 or SGA, so I wasn't that surprised to see it cancelled, but it would be nice to see some more of Stargate.
I don't watch anything on the PsyPhy (or whatever they are calling it these days) channel. The only channel with SF on is the Beeb (BBC America), they even have ST:TNG although what that has got to do with the BBC I am not sure.
Maybe the best thing will be if some of the Amazon produced stuff gets popular. (I subscribe to Prime)

The Mi 12 Homer was a cargo carrying craaft built over 40 years ago. I don't think any still exist today
