Another discovery we made this winter is that AGW produces more precipitation in places where that would be bad (Boston, Buffalo, Bangladesh) and at the same time less precipitation in places where that would be bad (California, Australia). We never knew that the global climate system had a brain capable of forming moral judgements about different parts of the planet.
I lived there during the Duplessis administration in the late Fifties. If you think la belle province is corrupt now, back then it was corrupt beyond all human imagination. Small wonder that when Maurice Duplessis died, they had to screw him into the ground.
And remember, folks, any criticism of corruption and the insular culture there is racist.
English as spoken in, say, the southern US had its origin in Elizabethan times. But no law has ever prevented the dialect from changing from its original form or required that visitors use a specific set of words and expressions. Meanwhile in France and every other part of Europe, stop signs say STOP. In Montréal, they have to say ARRÊT.
Being able to use treated sewage to assist in cooling is the same as the bump that other plants get from using water in cooling towers. The desert air still replaces the standard large body of water as the primary heat sink.
Other plants use cooling towers to fill in a part of the temperature differential down to the heat sink temperature, but their heat sink is still water from a lake, river or the ocean.
1. A Roomba may not injure the cat or, by bumping open the patio screen, allow the cat to escape outside and be killed; 2. A Roomba must behave rationally when swatted by the cat, except when such action would conflict with the First Law; 3. A Roomba must remain plugged until it finishes charging, except where this would conflict with the First or Second Law.
Cherry-picking one hydro lake with an odd emission of methane - what a hokey stretch! It's like those analyses "discrediting" solar as a renewable because a little carbon is emitted in making the panels.
Yes, the real problem with hydro is that all the good places to use it are already taken. But where it has been exploited, it's so far ahead of every other renewable that it can't even see them in the distance.
If your server were air-gapped so totally that all transfers to and from it had to be with a human, malware could just as easily be transmitted by flash drive.
The user could customize the display of his/her Apple Watch with of the real-time status of one of the indicators in the dashboard, with the time display as minutes to midnight in any desired time zone and time display format. It would be a doomsayer's dream.
The Detroit colony, which dates to long before the radical era, has spoken up, but the problem is worldwide. The Saudi king may claim to be our ally against radicals, but his royal family is riddled with princes whose money enables terror to go international. If the King were sincere, he would repudiate the Wahhabism that started Islam on its radical turn just as the rest of the world was industrializing and reach back to, say, the Abbasid tradition to define a non-radical version of the faith.
Even at that time, we still had hope that a silent Muslim majority would arise, and proclaim "That's not us!" After Charlie Hebdo and that fiery cage, not so much.
That's because the Amish are not apocalyptics. The anti-science left, on the other hand, welcomes the disappearance of mankind and is not about to play any part in perpetuating it.
The article you linked refers to military gear we gave Yemen to hold off jihadists and which has now is presumably in ISIS hands. It is well established that the same thing happened to the arms we gave the new Iraqi Army, the one which fled at the first sign of fire.
Why exactly would we want to keep the Russians out? My impression of the best outcome in the Middle East is for the Russians or the Chinese to take over the region and grind it under a generation or two of the sort of iron-fisted colonial rule that Europe or the US would not contemplate. Let them have its oil in return - we are well on the way to producing our own needs, and this would spur the eventual replacement of oil by nonfossil energy sources.
Great idea! But if anybody actually acts on the ISIS information with domestic attacks on personnel, their religion is finished in this country for all time to come. I'm the first to agree that wouldn't be fair, but in this time of war that is what will happen.
The finding of dirty snow is literally worth more than gold to space colonists. Gold would have market value if brought back, net of whatever large expense that would take, while water for "local" use is one more vital consumable that will not have to be hauled up through Earth's gravity well.

If you don't know Quebec, it's what Bohemia would be like if it were actually populated by Bohemians.
Ah yes, Quebecois culture - as incomprehensible in modern French as it is in any other language.

Gamers, hell! Wait until you try criticizing in any way those who politicize the weather.
The Arizona design, which has been cranking out 6 GW steadily for years, uses desert air as the heat sink. This is the design Jordan should be using.

Because of the loud noise they made as they chiseled messages, the Romans failed to hear the ninjas piling off the boats from Japan
Notice how the largest renewable source, hydro, counts as green energy when it suits the enviros, but is anathema the rest of the time.

Glyphosate is also a common consumer product. If there is any real cancer risk from it, in our hypersensitized culture we would be the first to know.
They're accusing General Tso of being chicken.
And General DeBillity. He's just...sick!
