More to the point, these satellites let you verify CO2 emissions from places which have unreliable or nonexistent on-the-ground emissions reporting, like the US and China

Because they prioritize access over commutation of truth. You need to dig into the details buried in paragraph 27 in order to have a solid handle on what is going on.

There are two effects here:

1. Some pollutants increase simply because higher temperatures cause the reactions which form them to run faster
2. Getting rid of combustion prevents the emission of pollutants which don’t have a meaningful climate impact in addition to preventing the emission of CO2, which does. This is a co-benefit of electrification, and doing something like moving to e-fuels would mean seeing the same problems for human health.

I wish the article did a better job of explaining this, which is why I didn’t post it when first published.

If you are a tiny country that’s tied to the grid of a big one, its probably the only way

To be clear: it’s billionaires funding it, not the politicians.

Should have looked at the sidebar

Science denial like this is not ok here.

I’ve had great success using fairly thick heavy pots for sauces… Though maybe I have a stove with a shorter pulse interval than yours

Short frequent pulses mean cooking is smooth at the lowest power settings when using a light pot

Its more that the US has industrial policy to support fossil fuels over everything else. It takes active support to create new industries, and that didn’t happen

They’ll be looking for an injunction, not huge amounts of money

This one is likely making good on a bribe

Mind you, the norm is for Met Gala attendees to pay nothing for outfits as its an advertising opportunity for the designers. She voluntarily paid something to try and avoid running afoul of congressional ethics rules

Satire is dead

Its mostly red tape at the municipal level; construction permits and such. That’s something that you and a group of friends can reasonably expect to address

No. We have a system which gives more power to less populated areas. Plenty of fairly reasonable people still; just don’t have power except in a few areas

Its actually a measure being taken to fulfill Trump’s commitment in exchange for a bribe — not so much a distraction as an exhibit in a future trial

They wanted to extradite him from Venezuela. Probably will try to do the same from the US

Courts move slowly, and only in response to somebody bringing a case. So yes, that’s happening now

Shade has a meaningful local impact.

On a broader scale, conversion of agricultural land back into natural ecosystems can be a piece of what we need to do, but it’s nowhere near the whole thing.

War generally isn’t.
