The bridge example is a very bad one. After the engineers and their families slept under the bridge, you exactly know zero about how stable the bridge is. And can only judge the confidence of the engineer...
Regarding climate scientists you are quite unfair. it is getting warmer. Reason is mankinds CO2 exhaust. As long as we increase the exhaust, or more precisely the concentration of CO2 it will get warmer. What more do you want predicted? At which exact date sea levels at New York will have risen exactly 1m?
For what purpose? To test your confidence in their science? Reread your bridge example...
However scientist can calculate quite precisely how much Greenland ice needs to melt to get that 1m increment.
The circumference of Antarctica is about 30,000km. So a stripe of 1mm moss at the edge is covering "edge" covers 30,000m^2. If next year that stripe is 2mm wide it is obviously 60,000m^2. Of course that is only 3 square km and 6 square km.
Anyway, because we are talking here about mm it is not exactly a small number...
And in their wisdom scientists, interpret that map just like any other ordinary map with north up, south down and west to the left and east to the right. Most notable: Antarctica is divided in east and west Antarctica and some names regions like the Ross Ice Shelf and the Anvers Island.
So the northern peninsula they talk about must be either Anvers Island (wich would be north west, obviously) or one of the very small peninsulas at the "upper edge of the map" which non nitpicking people call: north.
The last winter in germany was as piss war ad all of the last 20 or 25 ones. Perhaps we had a few days temperature below zero. But we had not the "usual" 6 - 8 weeks temperatures around -10 - -30 as we used to have when I was a child.
Did we even have snow last year outside of the Alps?
The idea of an 'undetectable laptop bomb' is: you can not detect that there is a small amount of explosive inside. So you had a small amount of undetected explosives, but could use that to suicide bomb a window out of the plane (or a bit more than a window). The US tried to force the rest of the world to have all laptops in cargo, instead of the cabins. The parents are just pointing out that you have to ban laptops on all flights or not at all.
Insurances in Europe have a flat rate for every one. Over years of no accidents you get put into lower brakets. If you have accidents you might get put into a higher risk braket. No one is spying on you. Hint: it is illegal!
Maybe you think that drivers with multiple DWIs on their record pay the same rates as everyone else. No idea why you think I would know what a DWI is...
How do you copy&paste code from stackoverflow when your evelopr machine is not connected to the internet? Remote clipboard sharing?
The idea that developr machines are not attached to the internet is close to absurd, only super highh secure environments will do that. E.g. a friend of mine is working in a nuclear power plant on simple SQL stuff. They are not even alowed to bring cell phones inside.
So developer resources are limited to what is installed on the machines and paper manuals.
I doubt you can get bruises from the seat belt during an emergency break. And most definitely no "serious ones". The air back should never trigger, unless you hit something.
There are not many cars with serious breaking power, only a Porsche comes to mind.
Anyway, would you not rather trade in some bruises for saving the person in front of you?
In germany peak power is in summer during early morning and late evening.
Heating is done with gas nearly all over Europe. So no, there is no real special winter peak. The total power used at winter at night is higher than the total power at summer at night. But the peaks are not at night. At night we have "base load"... hence the name.
Summer peaker load curve is dominated by AC In your country. Not in mine, and not in most parts of europe. Peak times are when people get out of bed and everyone starts electric appliances, some are already in the first shift working, industry and craftman shops are powering up, and then again when most of the work force comes home, around 6:00PM till 9:00PM. Depending on time of the year Germany has a small peak around 12:00.
Here is an example, different colours for different "types of day", blue = working day, red = saturday, green = sunday. But I'm not sure what kind of "profile" that is. https://blog.stromhaltig.de/20...
The form does not look like "whole germany load curve".
This looks more like a "normal" load curve but is either artistic and/or averaged over the whole year, so makes not to much sense either: https://commons.wikimedia.org/...
That will be for new sales of course. ICE cars are taxed badly, so you have incentive to change. I guess the power is right now not a problem, range still might be, though.
The problem with people like SuperKendal is: they think an anecdote is a lie. Or an anecdote is no data. So hundreds of people telling the same story is no science...
I really wonder what they teach/learn in those schools today.
The most interesting change here (in Karlsruhe) are semi wild Macaws and Parakeets... they stay over winter in the Zoo, as they get cared fore there.
The only birds left here are Doves, Crows, a few Sparrows at selected places, if you go out of town into the woods you have to be care full and alerted to see other species. Sure, they are still there but the wood is nearly silent, it used to be loud with birds. We used to have two or three dozens of Kestrels in town, despite the still huge amount of doves they are very few this year.

Global warming (increasing global temperatures, higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations, shorter winters) are conducive to plant growth. So you'd actually expect temperatures increasing by a few degrees to lead to more insects, not fewer. And how do the plants know they can grow now in winter? And have flowers to feed insects? Idiot? Plain dumb stupid? Germany is around 50degrees latitude... in winters we nave daylight like... hm 6.5 hours? 8 hours? How is global warming changing the length of the night in Germany?
Of course it is climate change, idiot. Most insects need to 'hibernate' over the winter. Because: there is no food! The winters used to be cold, really cold, in Germany. Now they are piss warm. Insects preparing for hibernation now get killed by simple things like mold. Because winters are now warm and moisty.
I was more thinking about the fact that it seems people actually have to look up those numbers instead of simply memorizing the moon is roughly 1/3rd of a light second farer away than one second and a GSO is roughly 1/10th of a light second away from earth. I would be already happy if they would say the moon is about one light second away. And that has obviously nothing to do with metric versus imperial...
The recomendation is not to deep cycle batteries, at least not lead ones. If you work them out of specs it is no wonder they die on you after 5 years, or did you say 3?
There are no winter peaking areas in Germany. And franky doubt: there any on the rest of the world. 60% of the power is consumed by industry. At night 90% of the industry is shut down. Hence power demand drops below 50% of peak (which is early morning and late evening, the mid day usually is a plateau or more precisely the whole load curve looks like a hat, that is btw. easy to google, facepalm)

And after over 20 years of 'struggling' with the EU, the US still have not grasped why the EU has an import ban on meat 'contaminated' by antibiotics.
Why don't you look at a map, and lear to read a map.
The first poster mention this "north thing" was just nitpicking, but you behave rather dumb.

You misunderstood, too.
Both have diminished, the numbers and the diversity.
In Europe farming is not an industry.
I suggest to look at google earth.

Good hint!
For most countries you can google load curves.

Insects and birds are on the decline since a decade. ...

Insects don't thrive on warm weather in winter!
From what would they live when they are usually hibernating at minus ten degrees?
Probably the remnants of Chernobyl?
