No motive mentioned. The guy was probably annoyed by the stupid helicopter hovering over a residential area at night. Stop doing that and the problem is solved.
Bad city planning is often a cause of crime, which is why there is so much of it in America.
And why does a ship need a helicopter escort? If it's so important, they should make the ship wait until morning. That will never happen of course, because it would cost the shipper money. Screw the people living in town.
If you ask me, the helicopter pilot was the one who should be in jail.
In fact the best way to look for aliens capable of mega-engineering (like Dyson spheres) would be too look for telltale flares of vast quantities of infrared radiation. But there aren't any around.
If it were likely that "accidental" cell phone use would crash airplanes it already would have happened. It doesn't even have to be very likely for a ban on bringing cell phones on planes. They even ban carry on shampoo. The whole thing is a farce.
Comments about how "stupid" the operators of Fukushima or Chernobyl were remind me of that story in "The Right Stuff" about how the the pilots always reassure their wives that flying isn't dangerous if you are a good pilot. Every time a good pilot gets killed they deal with the cognitive dissonance by saying it was pilot error and pinning it on his personality in some complicated, technically detailed narrative.
Actually the problem is you can't insure a nuke. The Fukushima cleanup is going to cost $300bn or so. No company in the world can have that kind of risk on its balance sheet.
It is traded in dollars because the dollar is the reserve currency, not because most of the world's wealth is in the US. It isn't. The US economy is smaller than the EU economy.
That said, it really is amazing how much fatter Americans are than Europeans. And Europeans have plenty to eat. Another point is that Mexicans are fat, though the country is not very rich.
So whatever the math says, it is not about availability alone.
Also I have lived in Europe for some time and I'm much thinner than my similarly aged siblings who live in the US.
Obviously sauropods didn't eat grass because there was none around, but your comment makes sense. Methane production is strongly dependent n diet and mopdern feeds are highly inefficient. There are plenty of research projects around to reduce methane production for economic reasons.
True but Co2 fixing has become more efficient, see the C4 carbon fixing grasses (which appeared much later of course, there was no grass in those days).
Yes, the individual questions of how big the animals were, how many there were and how fast their metabolism was and how efficient their digestion was are subordinate to the combined question of their aggregate plant consumption.
But maybe there is a correlation between size and digestion efficiency.
There's no real evidence (at least in this article) that the chimp has emotional problems, or is at all unhappy or blames the visitors for his imprisonment. Maybe he's just doing it for the hell of it.
Do you have and evidence to support your claim? Or are you just inventing this? I don't see any theoretical reason why we could be net carbon neutral, or even net sequesterers.
Military containment was an economic benefit to the Soviets because it kept them from wasting money on foreign adventures. Our failure to contain them in Afghanistan is what led to their downfall.
Economic containment was largely irrelevant because they didn't want to trade with the West and couldn't leverage the benefits of trade anyway.

Also why show pictures of a wind hose or a crystal?

This isn't really true. Nice story though. Georges Lemaître proposed a similar idea but didn't provide enough scientific detail to really discuss.
Didn't find any reference to Saudi Arabia in your link.

Nonsense. High food prices help the very poor because the poorest people in the world are primary producers.

Actually China has been contributing more to CO2 reduction than any other country.
You'd need a dedicated road for this. Might as well build a train.

They used to tell this story about the Soviet Union.
If his name is Raj the Germans will pronounce it Ray.

Buying cheap is BS? I thought it was the capitalist way.

I presume this applies to their own server farms.
Well it reduces you heating bill so yes.
