Depends what you call a shipping lane. There are plenty of places where the ships are lined up like pearls on a chain in a few miles distance. Actually, last year two times a US navy destroyer tried to cross such a line and crashed into a commercial vessel.
Air planes hold different altitudes, depending on course.
East - West lines versus North - South lines are seperared by 3000 feet...
The US has what? 400 million inhabitants? The planet has what? 7 billion? So 6,6 billion disagree with you, and I guess the smarter part of your country disagrees with you as well.
99% of all solar panels (silicon based) don't contain any rare earth elements at all.... and if they would, why care? "Rare Earth Elements" are not rare, it it is just a name they got when they were dicovered a century ago.
Germany in the number 4 spot (who also outsources a massive amount of manufacturing to - you guessed it - China). Germany did not outsource anything to China. Why would we? And bottom line we don't import much from there anyway. I really wonder why idiots on/. always claim such bullshit.
Lignite burning is down 30% over the course of the last 20 years. And why do you care anyway, since the late 1970s the exhaust is scrubbed, except CO2, not much is escaping the chimney.
or where it is use of nuclear fission is already dominant (like France). France is exiting from nuclear in favour for renewables since decades... slowly of course.
Only in Marxist slave states are workers forced to live in dorm rooms within the factories, which are sealed up to prevent them from leaving. And those countries never existed...
There was a time when plants were more abundant than today. Then, CO2 was 800 ppm, not 400ppm. The world didn't lurch into an irreversible green house. Actually at that time the earth was a green house, moron. And to compensare a little bit O2 levels where 50%nhigher than today.
Only hydrocarbons have the energy density necessary to power our world safely for 27/7/365. Strange that Germany gets 40% of its power from renewables... and another 10% from nuclear.
extract CO2 from the air IF it ever gets over 800PPM. If the planet reaches that level again, there won't be much left of mankind to worry about CO2 levels, moron.
You only need storage when you are seriously above the baseload of your grid. So yes, most of coal can be replaced with solar and wind, Germany already has done it.
I'm saying that a German car manufacturer can simply move the carbon intensive production steps to some third world country and lower their apparent carbon footprint in Germany, even though there is no actual reduction in carbon emissions associated with building that car. The only country in the world that did that, is: the USA. Why the funk would a german car maker move production into (non existing) third world countries? To lose more jobs, more buyers, in Germany/Europe? German cars are produced all over Europe, e.g. because many companies from other countries are part of VW.
And if you impose additional carbon taxes, it really changes very little, since pretty much all prices for all products will go up. That exactly is the intention. You can chose if you buy a car that costs $10,000 more because of its high cost in CO2, or buy the other car, moron.
The per capita measurement completely ignores manufacturing and other industrial processes No it does not. It still makes sense to count the CO2 output of the industries and business per capita, how else would you do it? so it looks like the individual American is running around blowing CO2 out of their asses at absurdly high quantities That is exactly what they are doing. Driving cars that use 2 times the fuel a car in europe does, using 4 to 10 times as much electricity as an european does, then laughing about high prices of electricity in germany, not realizing their power bill is 2 - 3 times as high as a typical german one...
The EU emissions aren't up. How would that be possible? Oh, by having new members joining the EU, hence the EU became bigger. That is why you use per capita metrics... and the US suck there big time.
We once had a kind of hobby project in a computer magazin, where they printed out data on endless paper in a kind of barcode (little squares). To read in the 'backup' you would use a scanner, and the software to analyse it back.

Another idiot who does not know what "baseload" means, hint: wikipedia.
Molten salt is in the range of 600C. ... go figure.
Amrivdr is in the range of 20C
Why do you think more food production is a problem?
Because that is what you get with higher global temperatures.
Well, for a bright guy, you always write complete nonsense in discussions about global warming.
Germany is suffering from a heat wave at the moment. We likely lose 50% of our harvest.
Wine harvest started this week. Usually it starts in Octobre. The loss in harvests goes into the billions.
In other countries like spain and italy, partly in germany too, cuttel is coiled because they either have no food or no water.
Global warming is not increasing land mass for food production, it is reducing it.
And that is plain obvious, so why are you such an idiot? On someones pay roll?
You are an idiot. ....
What has the age of an house to do with insulation?
We have laws here, you know
Less volume to heat and cool is a bigger factor than the insulation value. ... moron.
I hope you have no degree in physics

There is no nation on the planet that produces 1/3rd or even 1/2 of the CO2 of the world, idiot.
The nations that produce more CO2 than the US are extremely small, like Kuwait.
Shame on you to use them as an excuse.
China will never be on the level the US is, why the fuck would they? There is no reason for them to repeat all the mistakes you made.
Who has the biggest public transport system in the world? China. ...
Who has the most (produces the most) electric buses? Hint: it is not the US
Lignite burning is down 30% over the course of the last 20 years.

in terms of carbon intensity, the US is far below world average
On what world? Certainly not on planet earth.
The EU emissions aren't up. ... and the US suck there big time.

Oh, by having new members joining the EU, hence the EU became bigger.
