If China actually *does* cut their pollution down and take the drastic steps required to do this in any reasonable period of time, then the US should take another look at joining in.
China has already committed to canceling the construction of 100 coal fired power plant, 100/2100 is a 4% reduction! Yeah that'll make a difference! \sarc
Except destroying the habitat we live in and need for survival is jumping off a cliff, and everyone else is smart enough to see it and take appropriate measures.
I don't get who this We everybody keeps talking about is. It certainly can't be the United States, our GHG emissions are trending down, our transportation fleet has had significant emissions controls for the last 50 years and our country has more trees than it did in the 1850's. Our world is getting greener, not just the US and it's due primarily to CO2 fertilization.
We show a persistent and widespread increase of growing season integrated LAI (greening) over 25% to 50% of the global vegetated area, whereas less than 4% of the globe shows decreasing LAI (browning). Factorial simulations with multiple global ecosystem models show that CO2 fertilization effects explain 70% of the observed greening trend Zhu, Z., et al., 2016. Greening of the Earth and its drivers
Most of the habitat destruction is done by poor brown people trying to law their way out of energy poverty; environmentalism is a middle-class luxury.
I wasn't copying down the words he said or wrote on the board for later reference, I was paying attention right now,
One of my Instructors would occasionally stop the lecture and tell the class to put down their pens and close their notebooks, before lecturing about a particularly important concept. Once the "Deer in the headlights" looks dissipated, he would allow notes to be taken while he reiterated the concept.
I took Microbiology from a great guy, all you had to do to ace his course was stay awake in lecture; which made his course the hardest course in the community college. As soon as he went into "lecture mode" he turn mind-numbingly boring, and 80% of the class was either unapologetically asleep or head-bobbing. What worked for me was an old Army trick, standing up at the back, people can't fall asleep standing up (much).
My physics instructor went to MIT, "Wild Bill" Dobbins, now he could give an engaging lecture!
The bounty was for invalidating the patent, not the patent's owner; but sooner or later some defendant is going to be driven to such desperation that such thoughts will be entertained. These patent trolls frequently steam-roller several entities unable to defend themselves to build precedence before going after someone with real money. The results is often a life's work destroyed. Janis Jopilin wrote "Freedom is just another word for nuthin' left to lose"; these trolls will eventually set the wrong man free, it's just a matter of time.
Living on a surface without atmosphere is not solved, and ultimately must be. Permanent colonisation of the Moon represents an actual leap forward in our ability to as a species to survive, a sight-seeing trip to another rock does not.
Buzz actually proposed Near-side, Far-side and South-Polar permanent lunar colonies to support the Martian mission.
there's no big boogie man waiting to jump on you and take all your stuff if you let your guard down even for a second and stop stockpiling and spending more and more and more on defence.
The problem with ISS is there is no fuel, other than what's lifted from Earth, and that fuel is insanely expensive. With the 3 lunar bases, you can make fuel on site out of lunar ice, then only have to lift it out of the moons's gravity well.
Emotionally I'd like to keep ISS out of sentiment, but logically it's a white elephant that's served it's purpose and is ready for retirement.
Really, that's not the way I remember it, the Progressives have been promoting neo-marxist class-warfare since before Obama took office. Things have gotten so bad, racial segregation is being promoted under the guise of "Safe Places".
Corvette Captain Georg Johannes Ritter[1] (Knight) von Trapp (4 April 1880 – 30 May 1947), often incorrectly referred to as Baron (Freiherr) von Trapp, was an Austro-Hungarian Navy officer.[2][3] His naval exploits during World War I earned him numerous decorations, including the prestigious Military Order of Maria Theresa. Under his command, the submarines SM U-5 and SM U-14 sank 13 Allied ships totaling about 45,669 gross register tons (GRT). Georg von Trapp
Wrong Austria, it's the one between Switzerland and Germany.
Is this real numbers? Can these numbers be trusted? Is the administration inflating the numbers?
You mean like every administration ever? The unemployment rate is meaningless, the number that matter is The labor force participation rate.
"The labor force participation rate, at 62.9 percent, changed little in April and has shown little movement over the past year," the Labor Department agency says.
Unemployment rate is just how many people the Government has to pay unemployment benefits to, labor force participation rate is how many people are working. Some would argue that GDP PCap, Gross Domestic Product Per Capita, is important ($56,115.70 in the US).
Hell between GPS, AI Autopilot, and a real-time satellite datalink to enable remote driving, a stolen car could fingerprint and iris scan the thief, then drive itself to the police station and only unlock the doors when the Officer is ready to make the arrest.
You would be surprised, it's not like when the term "Phase array" was classified, as when the Patriot System system was called SAM-D. We've got integrated circuits running in excess of 3Ghz that do the heavy lifting now. Things get expensive when you're doing Aegis Combat System class phase array tracking to aim your brand new rail guns, but we're talking satellites here.
I forgot about the standard of 'satellite direct for downlink, land line plus central transmitter for uplink'.
Now it's a up/down link via satellite, that's why you have to have a FAA license to install, you don't want some redneck knocking out superbowl commercials by pointing the dish at the wrong bird.
Of course you could always just snip the antenna if you wanted to be off the grid - though I wouldn't put it past manufacturers to require working connection even for things that have no non-surveillance need for it.
Free is actually a nebulous term, I often tell telemarketers I can't afford free. Sometimes free means no out of pocket expense, I suspect that the contracting firms are paying Plutus a processing fee and Plutus is also playing the float; and is just a baby-step away from being a check kiting Ponzi scheme.
The launch was for NRO, National Reconaissance Office, they,

"a molten mass of electrically-charged gas, or plasma," plasma isn't a gas either. The way he describes it some people would get a mental image of a chocolate fudge covered cake getting hit by lightning!
An added benefit is if you spin the ring just right the magnetic fields will steer the solar wind in a direction and you can actually go somewhere if you want.

Well after Brexit, that dynamic might change.
And no, the nukes we have likely couldn't cause a nuclear winter that would kill off all humans, it wouldn't last long enough.
Don't make a challenge out of it.

Who do you think, the 1%ers are ruining this country, don't you fucking white trailer trash rednecks know anything?
America cannot afford to have a lawless traitor dictator.
I'm confused, which lawless traitor dictator are you referring to? Seems several would fit depending on your political philosophy.
You misheard. He said "hundreds and thousands" not "hundreds of thousands."
And yet there are 12 and even one is likely to be a go to prison felony; so at best he mislead Congress at worst he perjured himself.
It'd be pretty cheeky even for Trump to try to float an appointment to head up the FBI who doesn't have a law enforcement background.
Trey Gowdy would be perfect, but it would probably derail any path to the presidency for him.

Not as much as you would think, some get dragged forward, most get dragged back. It's kind of an averaging thing.
