We just need to install a fourth unnecessary level, using the WaterChain, to encrypt our water heaters and home furnaces from remote hacking. Then we can put all the credentials files on a laptop and lose it in an airport, exposing all of our national water infrastructure.
Cold showers in January are a good thing, right?
(caveat: passive solar water heaters will still work, as will disconnected PV water heaters running off grid)
Seattle, I can get channels (usually 3 per call sign) from five locations from Tacoma north. The image quality for the sports games is higher than over cable.
Some of the Brazil biofuel makes a lot of sense, in that previously they were literally burning it in the fields, and they have mostly replaced that with field energy units to burn it more efficiently and with lower pollution, and with biofuel conversion. Same goes for forest waste (when you chop down trees, a lot gets left there, and then biodegrades turning to methane and other emissions, so you can also use that for wood heat and biofuel, depending on the type).
1. Artificial discussion. Most of these are raised to be eaten. Chicken and fish are neutral, not counted as red meat. 2. So do I. 3. Personally I take a green electric bus to work or walk or bike, but the train is a replacement for a plane. There are few trains that cross water, of course. I could have gone into the relative efficiencies of different types of jets (some are very good), turboprops (use them all the time, better than jets), but it was 5 simple things not "5 complex discussions so people could grasp for exceptions to justify their doing nothing". 4. Already addressed. Lots of cities require you have one, actually, check your new zoning codes. You're welcome. 5. You just want an excuse to do nothing. Stop pretending otherwise. Keep paying high prices.
Not true. Research by the UW and WWU and WSU proves that the opposite is the case. Taking the C02 concentration from 2100 projections, we find most crops have a massive drop in yield.
(various sources - check out crop yields and global warming in any decent search engine)
So it needs to be 100% or nothing? Incremental progress isn't good enough, so why bother at all?
You are part of the problem here.
Actually, some countries run 120 percent renewables, literally exporting energy which gives their citizens a higher standard of living, and cleaner air.
The real reason emissions are down in the US is that 22 states now require 10-50 percent of all new electricity comes from renewable energy, and require more efficient heating and cooling systems for commercial and industrial uses. Like the entire West.
We do. Everyone else whines and pays more for less efficient stuff because they like giving dollars to utilities instead of making money off of solar panels and more efficient electric vehicles.
1. Replace red meat (except bison) with mussels, clams, and other bivalves which store carbon in their shells, preferably grown amongst sea kelp or seagrass beds. Do this at least half of the time you would have eaten red meat.
2. Live in a city, close to your work.
3. Take high speed trains instead of flying, if you live in a First World Nation. (yes, that's what I said)
4. If you drive, get a plug-in electric truck or car and power it from solar, wind, or other renewables.
5. Put solar panels or wind turbines on your house. In a disaster, you can use those to provide enough power for essential things. Yes, even if you live in Canada. Or Alaska.
Maybe if fewer quants tried to hedge things to change a method for investing capital into a method for legalized gambling, the world would be a better place.

We designed bitcoin to allow us to track down all of Putin's cash horde, worldwide.
Boy is he going to be surprised!
Actually, when I was in the Canadian Army, we had to operate in -40C temps quite often. So, maybe you need to realize it's cold out there.
Operating water heaters with electricity is an extravagantly stupid waste of energy and money.
Agreed, passive solar water heating is the most optimal method.

FB can freeze in Hades, they're still dead to me
Besides, they can always find work on the north end of the Cascades up in Vancouver BC, where ethical concerns are more highly prized.
(caveat: I lived and graduated there, before coming here)
All corporations in China are majority owned by the Chinese Government.
Google is not the owner, merely one of the owners.
You spelled Russian Vassal State wrong.
People argued that in Seattle too, but in the end there were more jobs paying better wages.
Reality has a bias towards reality, not myth.
Let's compromise on $45/hour min wage then.
According to statistics, a reasonable minimum wage adjusted from 1971 for NYC would be $40 an hour.

So they are tracking my cat ?
No, the raccoon.
let alone the EU GPDR.
Stop doing this stuff.
oh, wait, you mean you actually pay for the 100+ free over the air 1080p HDTV channels?

Deny science all you want, it will still tell you things you should hear.

EU has gone down over the last 20 years. They have plateaued recently, but they are not growing.
Probably because their population is not growing.
If only there was some external source of hard-working immigrants they could find ...

I mean, how could it NOT be The Master.
He's had it out for The Doctor for a long time.
Or should I say, she's had it out for her.
Um.
I doubt it.
