First that was from 10 years ago. Secondly, if you read it, you will see that the CENTER is gaining ice, as it should if humidity increases in the air. Lo and Behold, with the melting on the edges, that is EXACTLY what is happening. So, the major increase was back in the 90s and then slowed down in the 00s.
The ONLY way that we will stop adding to the CO2 levels is if we quit building new fossil fuel plants ESP. Coal. Since China is building coal all over the globe, and the far left, along with the Chinese, continue to ignore that, it will only mean that things will speed up.
As opposed to stopping the CO2 growth, it is now time to focus on what will happen as the CO2 grows? IOW, how are we going to deal with the ocean increases, the lack of precipitation in BOTH America AND CHina.
I live in Highlands Ranch outside of Denver. We take the LRT and regularly it takes LONGER than the roads. Why? Due to large numbers of stops esp in short periods. Here is the map. Look at the bottom right and follow e line. 18 stops. Roughly 20 miles. It takes 40 minutes for what I can drive AND PARK in 20 minutes. That is inefficient.
Now as to drag, the faster that you, the more that aerodynamics figures in. BUT, travelling at an average of 30 mph, like the LRT (20 miles in 40 minutes), means that a lot of time is spent accelerating and decelerating, which it does. As such, lots and lots of energy is wasted because these are several times what those pods will weigh. And as to energy, if you take a 200 ton commuter and start/stop it every mile, i promise you that cars WILL outdo it easily esp. today's EVs.
note that Musk is promising 100 MPH on the loop. they believe that they will be doing closer to 200 mph.
And as others pointed out, the train is inefficient. It is fine if you are going 500 miles with no stops, but when going under 30 miles and with multiple stops, the train, like LRT, is a horrible choice. OTOH, if you can get in a small pod and travel at 100-200 mph and go from start to destination directly, it is far far more efficient than a train.
This is even more true in a tunnel. With above ground trains, they have to be designed to handle running into semi's and items. With underground pods, these things will be lightweight like an aircraft. Far less energy.
Comcast throttles both sides of the equation. They claim that they did not, then it was discovered that they did, so they had to admit it. Now, they are claiming that they will not throttle. OK. BUT at some point, a lot of traffic will be slowing down their cable. They will then use this as an excuse for why they need to throttle supply side.
What is needed is to get competition going. Remove the monopoly. Likewise, allow Google and others easy access to public ways.
Finally, at a federal level, require that all local govs be allowed to put in communications utilities if the local citizens vote it in. IOW, state gov can not override the local gov choices to have this.
As long as we have gov sponsored monopolies,and esp without proper regulations on performance AND pricing, then we will always be screwed. So, allow competition to take hold and considering the importance of communication between citizens and gov, I would suggest that local gov have a real need to install the fiber, esp last mile, and then allow competition for managing it along with providing services over it.
yup. The interior is actually made out of decent material, but, it is not fancy. However, they hired 2 ppl away from Volvo who did the XC-90's top end to re-do the interiors on tesla. So far, minor changes have been made. I think that Musk goals is to first get M3's production line solid, along with the hand portion, then re-do the M[SX].
I wish it were so.
The fact is, that most of those shorters are going to be large companies or institutions that have a dog in this fight. The fact is, that most of these idiots running around screaming against Tesla are probably WAY to scared to back up their own words. Kind of like Trump vs China/Russia. He spoke a lot about it, but really he has been best friend to both.
OTOH, these ppl, and the shorters could very likely be from Russia/China. Neither really wants Tesla to do well here.
First off, China has the lowest efficiency of any panels. Only 1 or 2 companies are doing any good, and that is because their r&d is in the west ( America and Europe).
Secondly, pollution is a major issue with Chinese panels. They choose to take shortcuts, hence their water/air.
Third, automated manufacturing esp of things like solar panel, will be done locally, as opposed halfway across the globe. That is why Tesla will be making GF around the planet.
First off, capitalism is all about being able to shift industries faitly easy. And stranded asset will be bankrupted ( covered by society ), or new profits from elsewhere will cover it.
Secondly, we have already been.shifting away from fossil fuel for 10+ years. Coal accounts for 30% of our electricity, and should be somewhere around 20% by 2025.
Thirdly, all the drilling equipment for oil will still continue. Why? Because it can also be used for Geothermal as well as oil. So no stranded assets there.
Fourthly, oil processing will still be needed since oil/Nat gas are far better used as feed stock for chemical processes. Burning oil, Nat gas has been a major waste.
Fithly, the burning of oil will slow down a great deal over the next 10 years. Musk is forcing that issue. Hopefully, trump will put same tariffs on Chinese cars that they put on American cars. However, that is only useful if some our billionaires decide enter this race.
Wow. You obviously did not read what I wrote. Let me try it another way. Drop the gov regulations AND monopolies. Allow free competition to come in. In addition, allow local gov to put in fiber networks if their citizens want it. Hopefully this helps with your reading .
It is now time to destroy the monopolies since we are removing the regulations.
At this point, we should require that all govs be allowed to build out their own networks. Likewise, we might want to consider the idea of requiring that all communication monopolies be outright dropped.
Actually, for once, you are correct on this.
Up till now, you have done nothing but lie and move goal posts.
BUT, I am wrong on this one for dealing with America.
who gets to see them? Whoever you give access to. And just because you give access to the public certificate does not mean that you have to show your name, etc.
not really. Just because we elected a nazi does not mean that America's population is that far right.
Chances are good that Russia did not just manipulate ppl, but also our e-votes as well. In addition, having to choose between 2 horrible choices was just that; HORRIBLE. We continue to have faux news destroying good ppl on the left and the right is really far right, which says why they continue to run nightmares.
No. If done right, then you should be able to submit the VETTED cert, which is tied to an ID. However, if you do not want to submit a vetted cert, not a problem. Then those sites will have to decide what to do.
For example, if I am a bank, I will INSIST on vetted certs to do a number of things. Likewise, if arranging for airline tickets, then all passengers must be vetted (after all, you WILL be vetted at the airport, so no sense not). For/., they can take vetted cert, simple login, and AC. BUT, we readers should be allowed to decide if we want vetted only, COMBINED with say level 3 on the rest. This way, if you say something important and are moderated up, then I will see it.
THis is NOT a bad thing. It is actually a nice way to stop the trolling while some sites will still be able to able to provide a sewer.
Actually, the ID DOES make sense. For example, if a site says that you can only be on if you are below age 12 and parents of such, then the vetting will block adults, EXCEPT for those that were tied to a parent . If a pedophile has a stolen ID at some point, they will be caught on those sites and they will be gone after rather quickly. This is much easier to ID them than not.
Just because you have a vetted certificate does NOT mean that a site has to require a cert. For example, the ideal thing for/. is to allow us to say that I will see ALL vetted postings as well as a level 3 on non-vetted postings. Moderaters than have to see all, though they might want to set a level of 0. That means that if you posted something interesting and are moderated up to 3, then you would be seen.
I have been pushing multiple American candidates to do several things:
1) say that intel world is free to get to data from non-encyrpted data streams/storage. The reason is that it is not much different than sending a postcard to glass mailbox that is without a front. IOW, you seed without any effort.
2) OTOH, we need to require a warrant on anything that is encrypted.
This will have the effect of causing all the apps and OSs to encrypt everything.
Then we need VETTED certs for everybody, at least in the west. This does not mean that all things must use these certs. However, if send in a vetted cert to/., they could then enable us to say that we will view ONLY vetted certs (which means person is new OR has not been kicked off), OR anonymous at say level 3. That way, moderators can decide which of the unvetted ppl have comments worth while looking at.
The best way to vet this is not at the bank, but at post offices, DMVs, or those that issue gov IDs. Have them either generate a cert pair and give you the private via bluetooth OR they person send the public key to the vetter. Regardless, the public key is then installed on a central DB and marked vetted.
Nice advantage is that if a site boots a vetted person, they can keep them off as being vetted. In addition, others of us do not have to deal with the trolls who never have anything intelligent to say.
China needs to send their ships back home with full loads. Up until their stopping recycling garbage, that 'garbage' accounted for something like 10-20% of all items going back to CHina. Now, they will have to put other resources/goods in those ships.
What I find interesting is that CHina did this to punish Trump for his tariffs. BUT, I think that this actually helped the world. Yeah, at the moment, nations are scrambling, but this will force nations to have a surplus of elements that they can build with.
well, NZ was not the problem. The problem was a combination. CHina said that they could take the items single stream. BUT, they expected things to remain at similar levels. BUT, that is not what happened. What happens is that ppl just switch to putting ALL garbage in the recycle. That includes banana peels, pizza boxes, etc. Not good.

Exactly. To the best of my knowledge, Tesla has not had gov issued recalls. Otoh, regular car makers only have recalls if the gov forces it.

Sure. This leads right to a bunch of links
Here is one that is not sensationalist about it.

Basically, CHina COULD decide to clean up the oil that they burn in those ships, but, that would mean major cost increases for exports.
Instead, they use the cheapest, which means almost straight oil.
China needs to send their ships back home with full loads. Up until their stopping recycling garbage, that 'garbage' accounted for something like 10-20% of all items going back to CHina. Now, they will have to put other resources/goods in those ships.
