I agree. It seems perfectly in line to get rid of all the things you actually don't like (but failed to notice in daily life) and replace them with things that make you happy.

Careful coiling and then securing the coils with string in 3-4 places workes well for me. Coiling should be done while paying heed to the cable's preferred direction, if there is any tension it does not work well.

Ah, that may be. I was referring more to the Schengen zone itself. Sorry, it's late.

There are no border officers checking people in almost all of the border crossings. If you look white (=> probably not an illegal immigrant) being checked is extremly unlikely even with manned borders. He might want to wear a shawl or si

The papers all stress that wind farms are considerably better than fossil fuels no matter what, so 'accelerate' is maybe not the best way to put it. I propose 'influence'. However, the consequences from each technology s

The current problem we have is the energy imbalance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing thermal radiation, since a growing proportion of the latter is blocked. Any quantity influencing this balance could theoretically be used to g

Interesting question, seems it's still open but has been found worthy of study. There are probably research groups working on it right now. Review paper (2015): 'Impact of wind-energy generation on climate: A rising spectre'

You are not removing it, it is just converted to heat (in several steps).

The others are right, it is probably not going to change. From that short sentence it seems that your supervisor is doing a lot of things at once and you are low in the priority list. I don't think it's personal (unless you have c

There is a rare practice where you (for example) separate them just for the night and milk the cow in the morning. During the day, the calf will take the milk. Yes, you lose a lot of the milk that way, but apparently your vet bill also goes

How do the logistics of this work? Did he bring one cow or several? Or is one cow enough to cover the sales of the day? Or is there a stash of cows nearby and he exchanges them? Are they on different milking time rhythms? So many questions.

Youtube has some very scary examples of ships in storms - I almost get seasick and fear for my life just by watching.

Why do you think that is plausible? What natural drivers are there that would be able to do that?

Sometimes you can simply count backwards, eg in tree rings of living trees. There are some other problems though: http://www.climatedata.info/proxies/tree-rings/ Ice core data is correlated with solar activity cyc

I can recommend looking at the IPCC reports for anyone missing data plots from the discussion: https://www.ipcc.ch/ eg https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/ https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5&#x2F

More CO2 might not be a good thing for plant-based carbon sinks: Some plants with less stored carbon might outcompete others, lowering the sink storage. This issue is quite involved. https://e360.yale.edu/features/the-s

The problem is that if you want to understand the issue fully you'll have to at least read and understand a couple of physics books. Ain't nobody got time for that, so these kind of arguments are all that's left. Unless you w

We won't like the results of the updates on accuracy that have been made, say the rumors. Still some time off until publication though, who knows what'll happen until then. edit: One morbidly humorous plot is this one: https:&#x2

You know, people use that as some kind of defense, but I would find it even scarier if humans were not responsible for it. Being responsible for about all of it makes it possible for us to be in control. Not being responsible would make the

The IPCC has many of these, for example here: https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/graphics/ The older reports have even more of them. I find this one especially informative: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/asse

It's simple to the point that I often see people around spontaneously pirate content they do have legal access to because of convenience.

There are answers imaginable that are not related to energy efficiency. (Not saying you're wrong, just thoughts.) How about people needed per ton for example? A train conductor can be far more efficient than a pilot on that metric.

The usual solution for streetcars is to install a battery big enough to power the vehicle over the longest gaps. Is that unfeasible for trains?

You don't just.. stop field measurements. They take months to years in preparation, are usually a group effort and very expensive, and if there is a gap in the data you will never be able to get that back. I mean.. automate the thing

Concerning the rule thing - my observation is that if the rules are stupid people won't follow them. Riding a bike in even in Germany prepares you pretty well for driving a car in some of the more chaotic countries, since the mindset i
