    Britain is also fairly small geographically,

    Climate change means the UK is running out of water, OR climate change means the UK is flooding with water. You really can't assert both.
    Obviously you can have both.
    Flood: a lot of water in a very short time - look in a dictionary, perhaps you find a better definition.
    Lack of water/drought: you have no water when you need it.

    Wow, that was simple again, idiot.

    My GF is Thai, she gets 50 in a few weeks. She had 11 siblings. 4 died in childhood, and 3 during adulthood. When she was 12: her mother explained to her about contraception and that condoms where not available when she (the mother) was younger.
    She and her 4 surviving sisters, all only have one child. If they have had less kids, they would be rich now, because due to inheritance, their land got split up on 8 siblings ...

    Back 20 years ago, shared memory was common, no sandboxes, if you keep on moving your pointer values you will finally run into some other line of ram for an other system. Today we have sandboxes and virtualization, for added levels of protection, to make sure App 1 will not overwrite App 2.

    Marx was a marxist, not a communist or socialist. And you americans keep mixing up the difference between the later two. While your explanation is "half right" regarding socialism, it is wrong regarding your definition of which countries are "capitalist".

    If coal and gas are integral to the deployment of renewables, then costs related to those coal and gas plants must ALSO be considered in the costs of renewables. Flat out.
