Actually it is the opposite way around. The correlation factor is greatly underestimated, that is why current trends are always at the upper edge of the spectrum the IPCC is publishing.
although Germany's anti-nuclear kick isn't helping Why? Germanies percentage of nuclear power was around 22%, now it is around 10%. Germany used to have something like 5% renewables, 30 years ago, now it is close to 40%, this year likely above 40%.
You don't need nukes to produce CO2 free energy...
Ah, I was not aware that german citizens can only be extradited to EU members. For some strange reason we nevertheless have a contract with the USA, probably that covers only non Germans then. I wonder how that works out if a German is jailed e.g. in Spain and an US court would approach a spanish court.
In germany we have laws, not a jury. While a Jury would likely convict him, he has done nothing wrong regarding the law. First of all he is only the CEO... probably he had no knowledge about anything. Secondly: the cars are required to have certain properties under test conditions, those they had. While the company was morally wrong, they were legally right. I guess the laws are about to be fixed to explicitly disallow that kind of cheating.
Of course we extradite criminals if there is a treaty with the other party and there is no death penalty involved.
I'm not certain about this, but I believe a criminal court case in Europe can only be brought against a person by a European government. Perhaps you wanted to write that a bit different, not sure. The "government" is not involved at all, that would be a kind of totalitarian system, no? Cases are brought up by the prosecutor. So, if an american court wants to try that VM manager, they have to write to a german court, where the prosecutor will look at the case and forward it to a judge. The judge will decide if the case has merit and if so command the extradition.
Having airships in the Venus atmosphere is not terraforming:D Of course you could colonize Venus that way, however I wonder how you would mine the surface and set up infrastructure.
No it is not common sense. In Europe courts are completely independent.
They don't follow public opinions, why should they? If the public opinion should change when the next promotion is due, the judge would probably not get promoted. So why would he risk to base a judgement on public opinion instead of law?
You probably come from a country with 3rd world like law system... so you don't grasp that concept.
NASA is going for the low hanging fruits. And as Mars is the only reasonable planet to colonize and terraform, it is far more interesting than Mercury or Titan or especially Venus. Venus is probably as closest to "hell" as we can imagine. Pressure about 90 ATM, ground temperature close to 500C. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Of course, having some more radar data would be relatively easy and probably interesting. But I for my part don't care much what formed the longest river in the solar system:D I'm more curious about the highest mountain.

Who cares about the american internet? I'm in Europe, so... in the european internet. And we prefer "The Queens English" here as my Aussie and NZ friends call it.

How do you know how many people or "money" do short a certain stock?
Seems you are forgetting Challenger, which was destroyed by a faulty booster.

but IIRC volcanic events are responsible for a lot of CO2.
No they don't, and that is easy to google: https://www.scientificamerican...
Strange,
here in Europe we hunt pigs/boars with shotguns.
Seems to work quite well.
Hint: the kill is not because the pellets penetrate (which they do), it is the shock of the impact killing the pig.
Legalize the drugs ... then it is a pointless business for "gangs".
Strange that we have drugs in Europe to, but no gang violence.

No, it is not naive.
It is idiotic to think they are.
American prisons are not federal, they are privat owned, hence the absurd amount of inmates. ...
There are even judges that own prisons
That is not how a court works in the EU.
The judge or court does not know what Europe loves and what not, he applies the law, thats all.
Of course we do, if there is a solid case.
What else could/would we do?
Apple consumers are some of the biggest suckers out there. They'll literally buy *anything* with an Apple logo on it.
Which part of: you are an idiot did you not grasp yet? Do I really need to explain it?
Probably you are to dumb to grasp my comment :D
There is no "american internet". Better?

I'm pretty sure you partly cleaned up my dorm.
But the 'partly' thing is the issue ... the dorm looks like yesterday, damn it!
True, how could that happen ... I answered to ShanghaiBill.
