Seriously, your only alternative is paid-for shillls by the oil industry and you are going to reject the work of 250,000 Climate scientists, statisticians and space-climate researchers.
This is idiocy turned into an art form. so, that said PBS How Exxon Shaped the Climate Debate (denialism exposed)
So you clearly haven't done any reading on arctic temperature rise. That 1.4 - 6.4 degrees will not be uniformly spread and the arctic will see the worst of it. Result? Jet stream distortions, radically rising temperatures across the grain belt and, add in the calthrate outgassing, the rapid loss of ice cover and reduced albedo, the situation will go from hot to hungry in an enormous rush.
IPCC not good enough for you? Then how about Koch funded 0.01% papers? They too acknowledge the coming weather extrema. They just pretend we have nothing to do with it via fossil fuels.
Based on the effects on the west coast of Africa, the French and Germans experience with heatwaves and California / Baha experience with profound drought, I think we're not talking tropical, but desertification on a mass scale. Couple that with the torrential rains across the Midwest and what you have is the 'extrema' predictions, not a balmy palm-tree laden world.
Well, if we're going to have a Representitive Republic, dirt doesn't get a vote and the 14th Amendment should be proof against unequal voting like the Electoral College. I would expect that the Republican Establishment will do anything, anything at all, to keep the gerrymander small state advantages (after all, without it the House would be Democratic even now) The Southern Strategy fails completely without the overrepresentation in the Senate by small states and the states themselves, thanks to gerrymander and 'winner take all' laws, is what has kept the minority party in play. So, yes, this is a highly political map which ignores the burden of regressive taxation on the bottom 50%. That being said, thanks for the HIGHLY informative post!
Wrong. Distributed power means the 'unreliable' figure melts away in the average power distribution. Rooftops are good, parking lots are good, reservoir collectors better. The worst possible thing to do of course is McMansions far from the workcenter, but any kind of sprawl is equally a problem, and rooftops won't change that. The problem isn't 'space' used, it's DISTANCE TRAVELED which shows up as UPS routes, more mail delivery, more delivery vans at your Safeway, more Walmarts. Cities aren't the problem, they are part of the solution. The real solution, of course, is to drop back to 1 billion population. We'll do it voluntarily...or it will be done to us BY us in some horrible conflagration.
"Not a political map"? yes it is. the Howard Javis inspired 'tax foundation' that ignores the 40% effective net taxes paid by the bottom 50% of citizens is PURE politics, and false at that.
What challenge? San Onofre demonstrated that putting major assemblies in BACKWARD is just FINE with this 'safety first' industry. There is, therefore, no 'nuclear safety' to discuss. Profits first, last and always and "safety" be damned
Oh, i got it. People who loathe government workers seem to think that for-profit will solve everything I hate to remind you, but 'free market' capitalism had its chance. It was called the Guilded age and resulted in America being a second-rate nation with no influence on international events Along with things like the Johnson County war, the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire, the Runaway corruption of the RutherFraud B. Hayes administration, the cesspits in the cities and the slums convinced America that something besides the 'race workers into the grave' would have to be our principle
Yeah, like all the Microsoft projects that have ended without completion. And you DON'T get to keep 'your job' at NASA since almost everyone is a contractor.
NASA is, unfortunately, part of the same system we use to provide "white collar welfare" for the likes of the F-35, F-22, Sgt. York, Osprey, Commanche attack Helicopter, Crusader Canon, B-1 and B-2 projects. Bluntly, projects created on a whim without testing past history of failure to deliver on promises simply moves money from productive LABOR into worthless MANAGEMENT. We have a choice, but we'll never use it Draft. Pay enlisted wages and force production with deadlines for all the leeches feeding at the public trough. No more trillion dollar Star Wars failures, no more Patriot Missile success lies.
O.K., so 6 replies, not one noting that the thing saving your butt when you approach a crowded air corridor is a federal employee. Worthless? Not on YOUR LIFE!!
Don't forget all the Subsidies and Tax Breaks for the Private Profiteers that Government is required to give in order to satisfy the Libertarian Urge to profit at all costs...OUR costs, their profits.
I often come to Slashdot to see the latest in 'hate government' postings. NASA workers making double? Seems you didn't read the article. For profit often has higher wages for the elite performers That being said, the same for-profit operation will go 'least common denominator' the moment, the VERY moment they achieve monopoly status, which is the whole point of the patents and copyrights they issue Inevitably, government service produces products similar in quality to the electoral politics that rule them Whereas for-profit products always mimic the autocratic rulers who make decisions leading to the likes of Comcast, ATT, So Cal Edison and the like. So, hate on children, and don't fly commercial airlines...the Air Traffic Controllers are all Government employees.(and do you really want to be stuck in NY Kennedy airspace with 8 competing ATC's from 4 different companies?)
Ferrite and microfiber carbon attenuation never really promised a radar-low cross-section. It promised deflection and heat conversion. Result was a temporary loss of acquisition range. Now we have long wave but there was always multiband standing wave transform detection, 1250 nm laser plasma silhouette, multiband adsorption isolation and about 30 other techniques for finding the 'black dot'. This was always a sales gimmick, not an actual solution.
IMOX. Plutonium enhanced pressurized water reactor. #3 was the single enhanced core in the 6 Tepco disasterous failures. The total melt is due primarily to the larger volume of daughter products with far smaller percentage of stable transuranic transmutational products v. daughter products of fission. Once again, the theory of breeder cost reduction takes a hit.
At 66 lbs? seriously, the weight of a large printer should be an overhead push without noticeable strain, even for me, and I'm an old guy. I don't press heavy, but my regular workout is 130 for the military press. Again, the suit is not impressive as is and nothing spectacular there in the design hints at any breakthrough Call me when I can pick up a JT8D llow bypass turbofan engine in one hand.
...I would assume they are interested in higher powered systems for the production system....
30 Kg is 66 lbs, yes? That isn't even workout range for most men under 50 who are in decent, not great, just decent shape So, say you, they will just get a higher capacity suit...which will weigh more, burn through batteries, spend more downtime on the joints or have much heavier joints. Lot of vaporware in business, LOTs and honestly, this sounds like vaporware with a mock-up.
In law it's a principle called "relative adhering filth" and thus, Scientists over Politicians EVERY single time absent actual evidence submitted for peer review should be our rule as a people.
And, as perennial gadfly of the Star Wars crowd Theodore Postal points out, fails almost as often as the 100% failed Patriot system used in Oilwar I. Notice the patriot is discontinued in Israel? Notice too that 4 major system upgrades, each costing close to 1 billion has yet to demonstrate kill in flight of an ECM equipped 'real launch' target (no prior warning, no known angle of attack, simple chaff defense)? Trust the gadfly when he has access to the data. Like lack of flight pattern distortion in the Katusha
In every academic lab for one I do not deny there is bias, but any scientist who makes the claim to be one has made it his life's work to remove that bias as far as possible. Contrary to the politician who has made feeding OTHER'S bias HIS life's work.
This is a troll. Worse, this is an ignorant statement. The scientists job has always been to gather and disseminate evidence and conclusions backed by evidence. It has always been the job of Politicians on the right to IGNORE evidence.
The DOE under Raygun was repurposed to provide a black box for nuclear weapons development and maintenance, which is why the failure. CHINA is doing the research because AMERICA wanted to hide part of our gigantic warfare budget.

Don't tell that to nuclear France that had to shut down reactors due to overheated rivers (Where is all that tropical rainfall) in 2010?

So those giant H2 gas explosions that destroyed the containment vessels in all 6 reactors never happened?
Good to know..NOT!!
