Yup, WaPo have included the relevant table in TFA and they've used RCP 8.5
Rather famously this assumes that the world population will be 12 billion people, and that of those 1.5 billion (ie twice the current population of india) will be squeezed into Nigeria. That's quite a step up from the current 200 million. It'll be about as crowded as say Vatican City. GIGO at its best.
Let's see, in 140 years the temperature has risen by 1 deg C. Now suddenly it is going to rise by a further 3 times as much in half the time. Well, I suppose it could happen, but it had better start soon.
I'll look forward to the actual temperature record.
I haven't delved into the original document, but I'd guess they've taken IPCC at face value and used RPC 8.5, which is quite a ridiculous scenario.
Rei bought in at ~$260 in April, so is now sitting on a paper profit of $40 per share. Not bad for a few months, but not great. But Rei doesn't have an exit strategy, and so avoided making a real world profit of $120 per share if Rei was better at peak-picking than I am. People who buy shares in TSLA as some sort of 'vote' for Tesla or Musk or EVs are mere grist to the mill of the professionals. I don't suppose they affect the price much, but they sure create a lot of noise (both types).
And of course this will be modded to -1 (Correct but inconvenient).
Your shares that you bought at ~$260 rose to $380 and are down to $290. JP Morgan reckon $180 by the end of the year. Do you have a strategy with these shares, or did you just buy them because in some strange way you feel it supports your idol? For myself, I buy shares that are in growing businesses, that pay substantial dividends. Hence I tend to towards buy and hold. I get about 9% return on my portfolio. I could probably bump that up a little if I actively traded, but I don't have the time.
Rei bought in to TSLA at about $260. They spiked to $371 but he didn't sell then. Today they closed at $297. JP Morgan say $180 by the end of the year.
TSLA is currently at $303. JP Morgan reckon it will be $180 by the end of the year. If you sell now you make a real profit. What do you know that JP Morgan doesn't?
That's an interesting question. My guess is salaries and management structure. Salaries at Ford are linked to your grade, and the brackets for each grade are fixed. So if you want to bring a rock star on board, you have to give them a high grade. Later on when they want to move around there will be no positions they have the training or experience for outside of their field.
Risk avoidance could be part of it. If there is a class action perhaps it would be FAV that gets hit with a penalty sufficient to damage the business, That doesn't seem likely to me, the parasites will go after the deepest pockets.
I've got the Skymuster satellite internet. It is about the same cost as a fixed broadband line (50 bucks a month) and faster than the ADSL2 i got in town. It is volume limited (40 Gb peak, 60 Gb offpeak) and it is somewhat flaky, particularly at weekends (they claim the latest router upgrade cures that). The other alternative is broadband via 3G or 4G wireless. That costs a straight $5/Gb over the Telstra network, less over the flaky networks, but those don't work out in the bush.
Frankly I don't believe you. I know anecdote != data, but in my own case we have certain times we want to leave, certain times we want to arrive, and certain airlines we won't fly with. Then we look at the overall flight times, and lengths of stopovers.
So that's 4-5 layers of filtering before we look at price. Admittedly that is the next criterion.
100 GW sounds a lot. By the time this is installed the population of India will be roughly 1 billion. So this gives each Indian roughly 100W of installed capacity. This will generate 400 Wh of electricity per day (pV generates about 4 hours of nameplate power output per day), so it'll run a lightbulb, and maybe half of a small fridge.
Wow, that's transformational.
Now, fair enough, if you don't have a lightbulb and a fridge that sounds jolly nice, but it isn't exactly energy nirvana is it?
You obviously have information the rest of us lack. All I've seen is the very dodgy camera feed from the car which seems at odds with what other cameras could see in the same place at the same time of night, and a LIDAR scan that picked the victim up 6 seconds before the collision. So where's your source?
An electric airplane has very little spare energy to run A/C or heating, and very little payload to allow installation of decent insulation. So of your mooted markets none really work.
What a waste of time. They are measuring defects instead of eliminating them by design. I bet they do nothing with that data. Mercedes used to proudly advertise the hordes of whitecoated technicians fixing their cars up at the end of the production line. That was the most hilarious admission of failure I have ever seen by a car company.

Hate to break it to you but it's not just damn furriners that used to do that. it was made and sold in the USA up until 2011, and in Europe Bayer sold medicinal heroin. In Blighty Stickney and Poor's Pure Paregoric syrup had forty-six percent alcohol, one and three-sixteenth "grains of opium per ounce," and contained a dosage chart that included five-day-old infants. They were to be given five drops of the stuff, which quieted them down. Two-week-olds got eight drops. Five-year-olds got twenty-five drops. An adult got a teaspoon.

Hey rei, you'll be able to top up your holding, the share price is back down to where you bought in. I wish I had your expertise.

Texans don't believe in space unless they get nice juicy FedDollars.
Oh we all like FedDollars,
They seem to be free,
We'll bend over for FedDollars,
Just give them to me.

Person A has 100 shares of tesla, and sells 50 of them for $300
Person B has 0 shares of tesla, and sells 50 (takes a short position) at $300, on the same day.
The great god tweets some brainfart and the share price rises to $370
Why does person B think he is entitled to sue? If he is, then surely person A had just as much right to sue?

No it's not. When a financial journalist writes a piece about stocks he owns (usually a statement made at the end of the column) that is not criminal.

I think you'll find the UK is substantially larger than your city, probably by a factor of 100.

The investigators announced "The fuckers fucked up while fucking and are now fucked."
Good idea. Next month's Slashdot headline: "Drivers in latest fatal self-driving car crash were having sex at the time..."
Investigators say they fucked up.
...and they are now fucked.

Fine. But if you think that Amazon can't figure out who the manufacturer was then I've got a bridge to sell you.
Not at atmospheric pressure you can't.
