I assume the question was about the questionable economics of running a super-sonic airplane profitably. The Concorde was notorious for bleeding money. Maybe the premium aspect will be enough, given that we have a bigger and bigger chasm be

I don't think a single big donation is a good idea. We're so used to seeing extreme wealth we don't event question it. Once a big donation is given, you get to wonder what sort of influence that person (willingly or not) has

I have used it more than 10 years ago, and can confirm there's some horrible stuff on there. I didn't even have to search for it. Needless to say I've turned it off swiftly. I don't know how it is today but I can recomme

Focusing on reducing emissions is important, but it's only the first step of the plan. If we want to be anywhere near the 2°C scenario, starting from 2050, we need to be sequestering carbon directly from the atmosphere. So I'm oka
