The US has had a trade deficit since the '70s, and still does. What is the value of 'most competitive' if you have to borrow money from the rest of the world in order to pay for your imports ?
It's even worse, because the price of beer is only in a very small part determined by price of barley. Relative increase in price for beer should be much less than 3-17%.
Also, it's pretty much guaranteed that crop yield will improve more than 17% through clever engineering between now and 2100.
According to IPCC, over period 1950 to 2010, the human component is between +0.6 and +0.8, while the natural component is between -0.1 and +0.1 degrees C.
All old plants, old designs, and in every case used outside of spec guidelines.
And how can we guarantee that people will never again run old plants, old designs, or outside of spec guidelines ? Japan is a modern industrialized country, so how come they were running an unsafe plant ?
The reality of human nature is that every year without an accident leads to slight less safety awareness. All existing plants get older and worn down, but few people want to shut down old plants that are still working without issues and generating a steady stream of profit.
Look around in Europe were gasoline has traditionally been taxed much higher than in the US. Compare the size of the cars, and tell me again that high prices don't have an effect.
Well, the claim is that unless we reduce our CO2 output then we will see temperatures rise. If temperatures keep rising then at some point 1998 will no longer be the maximum. It's been the maximum for 20 years now, when can we expect this to no longer be true?
The 1998 peak was tied again in 2002, and has been broken in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. See here for detailed table: https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gis...
The annual anomaly (Jan through Dec) in 1998 was +0.62 degrees C. The highest year so far is 2016, with +0.99 degrees C. We haven't been under the 1998 value since 2011.
Different people have different talents and interests. Forcing a biologist to work on a fusion reactor may not produce the results you'd like.
The purpose is to satisfy our curiosity. I would rather read about the discovery of alien lifeforms, than watch a football championship or play computer games.
I don't think the manufacturers of the vehicles that collect the data are going to stop other cars from travelling the same road and also recording their data.

Most of the money is printed as a result of a new loan.

A couple of strange things have been found by people just scanning the skies. None of them any sign of ET, but still interesting.
By the time all the middlemen are done sucking "their portion of the profit" out of it, yeah.
The middlemen simply raise to the price to the maximum that the market will bear. The price of the ingredients has little to do with that.
Yes, and 17% swings in price aren't really a big deal if you look at historic prices:

It's not a choice. Have less kids or no kids AND become vegan
Have less kids, become a vegan, don't have pets, don't drive, don't heat your house, and commit genocide. There's a lot more you can do.
Price of the barley is still the same, even if someone takes more profit for mixing it with water, hops, and yeast.
It's even worse, because the price of beer is only in a very small part determined by price of barley. Relative increase in price for beer should be much less than 3-17%.

Your beer may be $15, but only a few pennies of that is the cost of the barley.

about +/- 0.05 degrees for modern readings.
Also, fossil fuels are not forever. The best time to switch to alternatives is when they are still cheap and reliable.

The models are converted to surface air temperature. Satellites don't measure surface air temperature. You're comparing apples and oranges.
Exactly. Give some people $1500 UBI check on the 20th of each month, and it'll be gone on the 21st.
Index funds are already fully financed. They cannot absorb more money without lowering the return.
Taxing carbon will have absolutely zero effect

It probably would have helped you more if you had put in two solid months of targeted typing practice on QWERTY to improve your speed and accuracy.
If you want the $1 device to monitor your behavior and keep wireless contact with cloud servers, you'll probably want an OS to make things easier.
In socialism, you trust that the leadership won't be self-serving.
99% is pretty good for a notoriously difficult problem.
Yeah, sucks if you're part of the 1%, but you'd be part of the 100% if there wasn't any test.
we'll send the tax for that to you then
Great, please make sure you deduct all the taxes for stuff that doesn't interest me.
