The article didn't mention the real extreme: A full ice age.
One theory is that if the arctic icecap melts, it stops reflecting so much sunlight, heats up, much more water vapor (our major greenhouse gas) is emitted, the atmosphere gets much more humid...and in the next winter or two a lot more snow than usual is dumped on the surrounding land. If the snow is deep enough over a large enough area, it reflects more sunlight away than usual during the summer, the Earth chills, more snow falls...and the glaciers begin accumulating as we begin the next Ice Age. A shutdown of the Gulf Stream et al would just make the chill a little worse.
Temperature changes would affect crops the most in the first year or two...once the farmers notice what is happening they'll change the crops which they select. You can't assume that "Kansas always plants this much wheat" will stay true under all conditions.

You need a tool which automatically sends email for you? Tell your mail tool to "save" the letter when you first write it. Then send it when you wish.
You can't click "send" and need some sort of new mail program...one which makes you send more mail when more people are protesting?
But why should more people participating require that you send more often? They'll send what they want when they want.
...people that can throw $400 away will go vote randomly because they can.
The number of people that can afford to throw $400 away is much less than the number of people who can save up $400 for a cause they deem worthy. The few rich are outnumbered by the many in the middle class.
"That craft on my tail is going to blast me if I don't zap it... LASER SAFETY OVERRIDE, FIRE, EJECT..."
Um... you do realize that you can accomplish the same ends just by pulling the bright yellow handle between your legs, right?
Ejection alone won't destroy the enemy. Firing at it might do so.
I also realize the JSF probably will use only the between-the-legs ejection handle without the face-curtain trigger, the laser firing control might not be labeled, and the override might be related to a status display and not a separate button.
Many countries also have restrictions on specific frequencies, such as those which they use for cellular or wireless phones. Not always the same frequencies which other countries use.
Yes, you can get local radio stations with it. The AM and FM "local" stations use certain frequencies which you can learn from reading the dial or its manual.
Notice in the specs the "0.15-1.5 MHz band". 1.5MHz is 1500KHz, or 1500 on an AM radio dial. FM is around 100MHz, and you can see that is well within the specifications.
What is interesting, however, is that this device is under software control. You can use it to scan to build a list of active frequencies, scan frequencies and let you hear any transmissions, monitor and log activity (for uses such as monitor interference from frequencies near those which your company radios use), record favorite shows, or merely spin the dial over a much wider range of stations than just the local broadcast stations. ("This is The Voice Of The Andes...")
Also note the note that some frequencies might be blocked due to laws in some countries. If your country forbids reception then... well, maybe you can only listen to your government's official station, so you'll have to check what frequency it is on. Assuming your country's radios reveal the frequency and have more than an "ON" switch and a dial for selecting between "1" and "2".
" Actually lots of doors indicates that there is very likely something of importance there. The Tutankhamen coffin was surrounded by a set of 4 gilt doors. So door number 4 might lead to something interesting."
A coffin surrounded by 4 doors would be discovered by opening any of those doors. I think door 2 is the one discovered recently by looking through/behind door 1, so we've already looked behind one door.
We don't know if there might be something only behind the 4th door, nor do we know which door has what number. Even 4 doors in a row may not be helpful, as we're looking outward and the "last" door might be the innermost one -- and of course we've already seen the chambers which probably originally held the really interesting stuff.

CONGRADULATIONS ON YOUR SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
I pleasingly to wish a notification of the best investment opportunity. Guaranteed tripling of your investment principal within three months after start deposit. Not sounding like traditional stock? Not, of course. Great company investment through private investorment group able to select best expansion opportunities. These private transaction are not offered to the public, and with your underwriting a new growth can be started. Wanted you reply sooner before investement offer expired. Important this be confidential as investor group disliked by national lawyer and public accountant groups because they embarrassed by huge profits of outside group. Do not give them chance to take most of profits, reply confidentally sooner.
Man-sized net with a range of 30 feet? Less than six body lengths? I can do that with my hands, I don't need any more "device" than the weighted net.
What would be useful is to have a range of over 30 meters, not 10m. If someone is running, you need time(distance) to choose and aim the weapon -- whether they are running away or toward you.
I can stop someone at 30m with an Argentine bola, but that requires a little elbow room for the swing. Technically, you need a boleadora for humans to avoid breaking legs, as a cattle bola has way too much power.
Your opinion is nice, but only applicable to the headaches which you've encountered which seemed to respond as you expected -- whether the behavior was truly what you believed or not.
Some headaches are indeed "tension" headaches where relaxing the affected muscles can help, whether done with meds, distraction, or conscious relaxation of the individual muscles.
Some headaches are not related to muscle action. If inflammation is involved, it's better to treat that than only blocking the pain. If heat/fever is a cause, then tinkering with the body's thermostat can help, meds can help alter circulation behavior, or direct chilling may be needed (cold drinks, sweat cooling, cool shower, ice pack, body ice pack, abdominal lavage, blood chilling...). Or there are messier possible reasons, such as pain due to physical damage to skin or muscle in the head area (by "physical" I mean damaged tissue for any reason, not only bodily impact, as pain is primarily supposed to report damage).
