Airlines try to do this via boarding by zones, but it's a bit like herding cats
The problem is that they often still go front-to-back instead of back-to-front, and the zones get called in fairly rapid succession so that the first group is still blocking the aisle when the next group is coming in.
Insulation works pretty well in the heat. Take a look at the architecture in southern europe and the middle east. Thick brick walls (painted white), small windows, basements and windcatchers are some of the things people have used for centuries to keep their houses cool in the heat.
CO2 accounts for 10-25% of the greenhouse effect. Water vapor account for 35-70%. So, while water vapor is the biggest contributor, I wouldn't call the CO2 contribution "tiny".
(And in dry areas, such as the important polar regions, the contribution of CO2 is even higher)
There are certainly pollutants that have a worse immediate or local effect than CO2, but they are usually also quicker to clean up. If we reduce the particulates, the air will start to clear up right away. If we reduce CO2, it will linger in the atmosphere for centuries. It makes sense to start reducing CO2 well before we experience problems.
And, obviously, we can fight multiple pollutants at the same time.
They aren't planning to "master" rat brains. They are simply trying to learn from them, specifically for their vision system. While the path finding skills of an ant may be interesting, they aren't particularly useful to a robot with a GPS sensor and a map.
And why should they come back to you, what have you done ?
Too many, probably, because lacking the capability to understand how do simpler systems of biological neurons work, it's going to be really hard to make any sense out of what we see.
At least with the rat, we can correlate the things we see in the brain with the images that we are presenting. Also, we don't need to understand everything we see in the brain. If we find a couple of new things, we can try them out in artificial neural nets, and see if they result in improved performance.
Why not both, by different research teams ? There may be things that we can see in 50,000 neurons of a rat brain that we can't see in the 300 neurons of C.elegans.
If the pervert actually did anything, or even attempted to do so, or even started to do so, the police can book him or her anyway. And if the pervert didn't, then no harm occurred
I think the scenario is as follows: creepy dude follows woman into the ladies' room. If he sees there are other women, he does something innocent and walks back out so he can try again at a later time. Only if he notices that the woman is alone and vulnerable, and he's got a good opportunity, he assaults her. There's no police to protect her.
For this reason people have decided to introduce different bathrooms for men and women, so that you can stop the guys from entering in the first place.
If you're going back to letting dudes go into the ladies' room, you'll get the problems back.
Or surgically implant it. Last time I flew out of the US, they only used the backscatter body scanner, not a metal detector. It would have been easy to walk through with an implanted bomb.

If you go down that path, EVERYTHING is subject to stupid nit picking.
Sure, but not in the same amount.
common leftist strawman is that if you don't believe in man made critical climate change theory you must be an evil denier.
You'd be a denier, even if it's not evil. Left or right has nothing to do with it. The science is objective and clear.
Have you moved to one of those EU nations with "higher standards of living and quality of life" yet?
My wife has. And she agrees the standard of living is higher here.
But I suspect you're actually just looking for an excuse for a new tax. Anything to make government stronger, am I right?
I propose a carbon tax, offset by lowering existing taxes by the same amount.
So, nitrogen, the most common element in the atmosphere, is also a pollutant, given that breathing it alone will kill you all the same?
It's not the nitrogen that kills you, it's the lack of oxygen.
The percentage of ozone in the atmosphere is 1000 times lower than CO2, but still it manages to block virtually all UV-C and most of the UV-B.

The Sun's activity is actually down, while temperatures have soared.

Which other pollutants are essential for all life on earth?
Sulfur.

You can also time shift all movies by a year, and get them much cheaper.

Why would a rapist have to wear a dress to enter the women's room ? Can't he "identify as a woman" while wearing jeans and a shirt ?

If you put the cargo in blast resistant containers, packed with other luggage, you'd need a much bigger explosive to do serious damage.

With gcc 4.8.4 I'm getting: misc.h:71:41: error: storage size of 'ts' isn't known
Alphago is firmly in the weak AI category, and by itself will never decide to play tic-tac-toe.
Funny how you keep repeating that over and over, even though nobody is disputing it, or has even hinted otherwise.
but this isn't real AI, it's just a trick
What they don't realize is that real intelligence is also a trick.
How many people at McD wouldn't love to go to the moon? Or Mars?
About the same as people who'd love to go to Antarctica.
I tried to give you clues, but you closed your mind and continue to spout nonsense because of your lack of understanding.
I'm afraid you're a victim of the Dunning Kruger effect.
