So your contention is a 2 deg C increase in temperature over multiple years is "setting corals on fire", but an 8 deg C swing in 6 months is irrelevant?
Those worst offending countries aren't on this list since these countries are already cutting CO2. The worst offending countries were exempted from any action as they quickly and happily agreed in the Paris accords...
Hyperbole much? Seems the water in Sydney, Australia has about an 8 deg C change pretty much every year. And it's not uncommon to have a 4 deg C swing within a single month. That's quite a bit more than what we're talking about here.
Sea levels at the last ice age were about 120 meters lower than they are today. Most of the reef has a depth around 35 meters. Thus most of the reef - as we see it today - was about 85 meters above the tide line just 15,000 years ago. If it was laid down 2 million years ago, then the reef has migrated up the continental shelf as the water levels increased.
CO2 will increase heat in the atmosphere; that's not a question at all. Basic physics and such. However, most AGW models set the feedback sensitivity for a doubling of CO2 at 3K, when in actually seems to be about 1.1 K. That would also explain why most AGW models run hotter than measurements and need to be constantly "retuned" to fit the past (and continue to fail predicting the future).
Citation Required. The data record seems to say otherwise, with greater, faster changes happening in the past. And if you look at the longer term data you'll see that it's also happened back in the 1890s-1940s as well.
See this paper, specifically figures 4 through 6. Look at the time from ~1890 to ~1940 - it's about the same level of change as we've seen from ~1970 to today (both about 50 year periods).
You can also check this graph and see we have had periods of much greater - and more rapid - temperature increses AND decreases, back in 1986-1988, 1997-1999, and 2009-2011.
That can be an actual benefit for you. Companies must legally pay you for any unused but accrued vacation/PTO, but do NOT have to pay for unused sick leave. By bundling the two together, you could get a bigger pay out if you leave the company.
The assembly line, then later SMT and such, were massive implementations of automation - and we didn't end up with a permanently unemployed class... Some older jobs went away, plenty of new jobs arose. Interestingly enough, for all of history, technological improvements in manufacturing/farming/creation seem to always result in more total wealth for the nation, rising qualities of life - and plenty of jobs.
One last thing about that rear point - watch the video, they talk about it. And that there is a sticker saying to cut the rear (the sticker is ONLY visible if the rear trunk is open) but there is only a general "cut near the edge of the glass", there is really nothing more than a "it's in the general vicinity of" kind of direction. Got a hole saw and time to drill a few dozen holes to find the HVL cutout?
So the battery issue - apparently not well documented, and not per the labeling on the vehicle. I guess changes are stealth?
And if the battery dies, your options are crawl out the front seats (wonderful in an accident if the seat is jammed) or break the glass (if you can - many people are not strong enough to break the glass, but could easily operate a manual door latch like the front doors have).
So you don't have to pull body plugs to hook up a 12V supply to pop the frunk when the main battery is dead? The rear door handles work even if the main battery is dead? And there aren't multiple layers of sealing material just glued together to cover up the gaps in the door?
Well now, in Rei's defense, a $900 million loss on $11 billion in revenue is only an 8% negative margin, so not ALL is bad. It's only losing a ton of money, not a shit-ton of money... Not bad for a car company with a higher book value than Ford, even though Ford actually makes a profit ($2.4 billion annually) - and returns a 5.3% dividend!
In July 2017, Musk promised to make 5000 Model 3s weekly in December 2017. We've not seen a sustained 2K/week yet - and it's nearly 4 months late. Producing 3800 in March is around 900 per week - less than 20% of where they were supposed to be last December.
When you sell 10.7 million cars a year, you probably know WHEN and WHY to take a single line (out of hundreds) down for 2 weeks... Consider that all Teslas sold to date - since inception - are less than 3% of what VW did last year. Yeah, there's a reason VW can pull a line down for a few weeks for rebuild/repair - they actually wear stuff out from producing 1 car every 3 seconds.
We were supposed to see 2K/week in November. Then it slipped to January. Then supposed to be for all of Q1. Now it's well into Q2 and we're taking lines down to try to get to that rate - when the claim back just a few months ago was that it would be near 5K/week around now...
The last time Tesla took a line down was stopping the X and S lines so they could try (and fail) to hit 2500 the last week of Q1. Maybe this is another surge just to try to hit 2500 in a week - when there is nothing else going on for the X and S?
That's a lot of churn and effort for a car company that loses billions of dollars...
Toyota Camry, price-and-size comparable to the Model 3, sells around 10X the Model 3. The Honda Accord, also price-and-size comparable, does about 8X the model 3. The Ford Fusion. also price-and-size comparable, does about 5X the Model 3. US sales alone of mid-size cars runs about 150K per month, meaning the model 3 is around 2.6% of the US market. The worldwide mid-size car market is around 500K per month...
If you are on the market for a Bose or Sonos, this is for you.
Not even close. SONOS will play just about any source on Earth, not just iTunes. You can use any device out there to control it - not just an iOS device (OSX, Windows, iOS and Android). And a pair of Play:1 speakers ($298) will spank a HomePod - and provide REAL stereo as opposed to simulated - or synch'd audio in two different rooms. If you are in the market for a Bose or SONOS system - the HomePod isn't even in the same league from an audio quality standpoint.
No, no - you wouldn't have HAD those two small in the first place, without the courage of new ears! And the rounded corners on the screen are also there to give your eyes something softer to look at. It takes courage to give you corners on the screen to eliminate eye fatigue. It's not a negative - it's a positive!

Amendments 14, 19, 24, and 26 all talk about voting - and only do so in terms of citizenship.

Not sure where the 242 million years comes from, the last ice age - the glacial period - ended about 12,000 years ago.

Thus most of the reef - as we see it today - was about 85 meters above the tide line just 15,000 years ago.

Amazon has been making a profit pretty consistently since 2013. TLSA has one quarter (when they took all those Model 3 deposits) in its history in which it made a profit.
This teardown doesn't look like FUD to me; the gap inconsistency is quite easy to see - and it really is pretty poor on a $50K car...

But then, when you have a loss of money on every car, you have to talk about something else to make it look not as bad as a 20% annual loss...
