How about: If the war in Ukraine continues, we can expect less food production and potential oil disruption to center Europe. No need to comment on how to get to this outcome, or thoughts about who will make a concession leading to a big co

To be clear. I agree with you, I doubt Russia will surrender any time soon. The conclusion as far as food goes is that globally, plans should be made that do not count on any food from Ukraine, or Russia entering global markets. I just took

You are right there are lots of real information out there. You have picked a 1. random unpopular youtube channel (which might be good, I couldn't verify anything from it, as I couldn't find who ran it, if you know I am happy to b

Luckily there is a type of seat you can get on a flight for such business travel! Even better, just get the train where appropriate. I'm pretty sure coaches are a pretty popular form of transport as well.

We have a set limit for how much carbon can be released to hit the agreed on targets. Anything a person emits over this should be reduced. Someone eating meat 3 meals a day and flying in a private jet, is using thousands of times over this

No they do not create more pollution, at least on a per-unit basis. As it states in the article 2-stroke motors create a ton of air pollution. It is also much easier to ban 2-stroke motors, which have cheap electrical alternatives than ICE

Because if they don't blame energy prices, they will have to face that it is in part down to Brexit. (and some other complicated hard to explain reasons that won't make for a good soundbite, so people will only focus on Brexit) Br

I'm not hoping it fails. But I will take some joy in the inevitable implosion of an obvious white elephant project obviously made for political (corruption) reasons. This project is not based in reality, or has any consideration for re

That won't make a massive difference for this winter thought. They need a fix that is going to be months away, not years.

"If a tree falls in someone else's forest, and I don't hear it, do I even care." I think sums it a bit more accurately.

Thanks for the long reply. This take on the impact of the "Fall of Rome" in Britain is not one I have much exposure to. You obviously have read a good bit about this. Do you have any recommendations for reading?

This is only true for mid/southern Gaul, Iberia, and Rome, and to a lesser extent to the North of Gaul. To Briton the Western Roman empire fell hard. There was a marked collapse of urban life, a shut down to bulk trade networks which w

This is illegal in the UK. You cannot legally drive a privately owned scooter in public. They are classed as vehicles and you need to be insured to drive them, you cannot insure a private scooter. When you rent a scooter from one of the app

Out of interest, where were you? Just to flesh out my experience. In the UK we defiantly had some things missing from shelves, but it would be running out of strawberry cereal bars and having to have raspberry ones instead. Aside from some

The food scarcity we have experienced in the pandemic is more like people wondering why there are no peppers or chicken this week. But there is plenty of other food to eat. I think any issues we have will be people not having their first op

Would the energy used pumping the water from the quite low lakes, over the Rocky Mountains and Sierras to the west coast be less than a desalination plant? Another option is just moving the water usage closer to the usable water.

So it's ok if someone moves next to you, plays music all hours, leaves rubbish everywhere, and are generally annoying to live next to. And then the next week a whole new group of people move in forgetting any requests you made, but act

Well into my early 30's now, and can identify a fair bit with this, especially the "dying someday" being an actual time that will happen. Whilst it isn't massively interfering with my life, I do hope some of that dread a

When I started working I had a boss pull this line. Then he didn't turn up cos he had a family thing that was more important. This pushed three of us (out of 5) to quit in the next couple of months (after getting another job sorted).

How much is that going to cost to develop, manufacture, deploy, train, maintain etc? Shipping is a VERY price conscious industry.

Sorry, I meant "Wether this is because of human choice or something else is irrelevant to it being named Fertility Rate". Of course you are right that the underlying reasons are all relevant depending on the question, but they are

Fertility rate is defined as number of children per woman [1]. Wether this is because of human choice or something else is irrelevant. https://data.oecd.org/pop/fertility-rates.htm#:~:text=Fertil... .
