    Climate denial is a faith, it doesn't matter what the science says, denialists will listen to whatever BS the high priests of climate denial come out with.I haven't heard a good explanation yet from a global warming denier as to why CO2 isn't a greenhouse gas - something that was discovered over 160 years ago. They also need to explain why the north pole sea ice is melting.

    Start with the fact that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and we know precisely how much of it is emitted when fossil fuels are burnt. We've known that CO2 is a greenhouse gas for a lot longer than 50 years.

    1856, we've known CO2 is a greenhouse gas for over 160 years now!

    2nd this, I'm surprised at the level of support bitcoin is getting when it's horribly inefficient, doesn't scale linearly and it's pretty obvious that a lot of the transactions are pure speculation into a bubble currency.

    Bollocks, you use the roads, you should pay for them, same for the emergency services and other government services. Expecting the less well off to pay for your services IS morally wrong, especially when you're making expensive toys for rich people/stupid people.

    And what if it's not time to get up because they've just moved the clocks back and the sun rises too early?

    That'd be nice, but I don't get that much say about my hours (weeks yes, hours no) and my job is very location specific.

    Day light whilst sleeping is completely wasted, that's the point here, the days feel even shorter when the sun goes down an hour earlier, day light in the late afternoon isn't wasted for 99% of people, very few people go to bed in the afternoon.

    UK here, winter time is stupid, it gets light before I even wake up and then it gets dark before I'm even on my way home from work. We just changed from BritishSummerTime which made a lot more sense.

    So Winter Time is stupid and rubbish, I'd much prefer to have some day time left in the evening than have it completely wasted whilst I'm sleeping.

    Car chargers should be more common than streetlights and indeed streetlights could double up and have a couple of chargers. 400 stations in Europe is a joke, lip service, marketing, there are over 8000 Petrol (Gas) stations in the UK alone, What Europe needs is literally tens of millions of chargers, not 400.

    It's not a fact if you spread the wind turbines over a large enough area, something that the north America, Europe and China should all be able to do.

    What's even more scary is the resulting ocean acidification killing ocean life which then rots and releases toxic gases which kill most land life. It's happened before, and it very much looks like it's about to happen again right now.

    I expect I would, my screen is likely a lot easier to read outdoors on a sunny day. And unlike LGs latest OLED it's not suffering from really bad burn-in.

    The screen on my new $100 for work android phone looks great, it's very bright, snappy and the battery lasts 2 days. On my 46inch TV I'd notice a small difference between 1080p and 4k. On my 6ish inch phone I really don't think I'd notice any difference with an increase in resolution beyond 720x1280.

    Vpn + deleting cookies, gets you lots of google image captchas. I recon google still knows who you are via browser fingerprinting. Since I started deliberately giving slightly bad answers google stopped bothering me with them, think about it - if your answers arent useful/trustworthy then they cant use them for training AI.
