Do you have a reference for this that tries to quantify the CO2/CH4 emissions per kg beef? For chicken, I've seen estimates of 3.3 kg CO2/kg of industrial chicken meat compared to 5.3 kg CO2/kg of organic chicken meat. O

The pay out is nothing to sneeze at - I have some perpetual bonds that pay a coupon of 6.5%. In some rare cases they are slightly riskier than stocks (remember, Credit Suisse shareholders still lost 90%), but unless a major crisis occurs th

Is that a problem of units or education? Children sometimes confuse the units of speed and distance, but not when they get older.

Nitrogen emissions are mostly caused by cattle, in particular cows. Beef, milk and cheese might be more expensive due to these measures, but cheaper, more sustainable food (vegetarian food/chicken/egss) would not be affected by th

This argument might be made for CO2 emissions, but nitrogen emissions are mostly a local problem.

I have read this argument many times and I still don't understand it. You can attack emissions by limiting supply (stopping new oil drilling projects) or by limiting demand (flying less / driving less etc.). Both should work, sinc

With regards to 'seed slavery's, how can farmers be worse of than they are now? They can always go back to the normal seeds if that is cheaper. Regarding resistance, you could make the same arguments for any pesticide. Moreover, t

I am so surprised this is not the case in all developed countries. Every house in the EU that is sold or rented, needs an energy label, ranging from G (>380 kWh /m2/year) to A++++ (0 kWh/m2/year). If you sell your hou

In a car running at 100 kph, that would be 180000 km (roughly 110 miles). Most cars would need at least some parts replaced by that time as well..

There were many reputable poker sites in the 2000s, Pokerstars being the biggest one, which still exists. It's far more profitable to run a fair site than a scam site. Keep in mind that strong poker players keep a database of the hands

Don't forget that 5 year olds generally haven't learned addition or subtraction yet, let alone division (which is generally taught at 7 years AFAIK). Explaining what "prime" is will be difficult.

Researcher working in a related field. The above is just patently false. There are currently no drugs that can do this in lab-animals, let alone make it through clinical trials in time by 2027. Computation is also not the bottleneck of rese

The seriousness of climate change is not lost on me, but your comment is rather heartless. In the UK the 'eating or heating?' question is real for many families this winter. It is fair to say that the warm October was a gift from

Share buybacks are used to avoid dividend taxes. It makes sense to tax them equally. Moreover, don't you think that paying dividends (in stock or in cash) are a better, more transparent way than share buybacks to distribute profits bac

I live in a city that transitioned from diesel buses to battery buses. I've never driven in a bus with trolley wires, but am very happy with the current situation. First of all some of the roads in our cities are being replaced. No pro

Why is it laughable that Tesla can build software that approximates the human brain? There is software that is better at chess, better at go and better at poker than humans. Why is driving so special? Agree with your other points.

The existence of tipping in the US contradicts this theory. Why tip 20% as a non-returning customer, when it is in your own best interest to tip 0%? Still, nearly everyone does it. Luckily, empathy and/or social pressures are important

Betfair works like a market - you are not betting against the house, but rather against other bettors. Betfair takes a commission from each matched bet. They would probably allow it - More matched bets means more profit for them.

Something like that is currently proposed in the Netherlands, and will probably be implemented January 1st. Electricity and gas use up to the consumption of the average Dutch household (1100 m3 and 2200 kWh of the top of my head) will be c

If you look at the amount of cars driving around in the UK (similarly priced as all the upgrades combined), probably most homeowners. Also, if someone does not have sufficient capital, there are subsidised lease options for all upgrades.

To ensure that we reach the climate targets, oil will have to be left in the ground in some places, by this administration and all the next ones. I believe there is still a chance to make that happen.
