Storing CO2 into a depleted gas field is likely to last a lot more than a few decades. Hint: for how long did the natural gas stay in there?
There are CO2 sinks which, given no emissions, can reduce CO2 concentration back to pre-industrial levels in a few centuries. Then it won't matter as much (if at all) when increased quantities of CO2 are released from their storage.
3800 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. One hundred kilometers from ground zero the heat would have inflicted third degree burns. Hopefully Kim will never get one of those...
Well, being truly random helps you not *losing* this game. The moment you find that your opponent has somehow outsmarted you, you can simply switch to the "random" mode.
On the other side, a computer can easily model its opponent as a markov source and learn some statistics. You'd be suprized how predictable humans turn out to be...
The computer can beat a human "better" because it learns more accuratly (because of the better and more objective memory).
There are a some games that computers truly suck at (such as Go or Poker), but Rock, Paper & Scissors isn't one of them.
