It seems that flying drones into carbon infrastructure is effective too.

Hi, some short questions: - What's your spectral resolution? (I'm assuming you're using spectrometers and not filters?) - Is this a scanning setup? - What is your minimum spatial and temporal resolution and what is the detect

I encourage everyone who has not done so to have a closer look at Taiwan's history. The situation is markedly different from Hong Kong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan#Republic_of_China_rule

I've been thinking patience might play a role; I had this issue often as a kid. When you have a computer problem and do some things to fix them, it doesn't work, you call a parent over and they do exactly the same thing and it d

How and where do you do that, do you plant seeds or saplings? On whose lands?

Also: These trees take decades to grow, at least, and will have to be protected from fires (which are only getting worse) and logging basically forever.

Many climate control projects have hard-to-judge side effects and are currently either hard/expensive or impossible. It is cheaper to not burn the carbon in the first place. Carbon capture might be easier to control as a single entity

In response to your first link: If you do want tap water in a restaurant, as long as you order another drink as well they'll be fine with it.

Edit: Discussion with a colleague lead to an estimation of a residual time of ~10-30 years of the heat caught in the system, so 'soon' should be understood like that.

I'm a lot less salty because the money I pay is being used to treat everyone who gets sick, including poorer and older relatives and neighbours, and nobody looses their house and life due to healthcare costs. Even if you pay a lot (bec

How does that legally work? If you're unconscious you should be unable to enter into any transactional agreements, no?

An argument I've heard for also dealing with the former is that for some people it might be easier to approach because it is more obvious and less scary (more actionable). Once you have them onboard, you can start with the harder thing

If you can't stop completely that easily reducing would also be a good start and maybe easier to achieve. edit: Another parameter you have control over is the amount of luggage you bring. A 30kg luggage allowance is a considerable frac

Y'know, it's not binary, the divide is not climate change/no climate change. So maybe it is too late to stop everything completely, but it is really really not too late to stop it from becoming far far worse. Look at this p

The biggest problem I see is that you now have to protect those trees for basically forever. Fires will only become more problematic, and the push for more usable land as well. Also, trees take decades to grow, which we don't have. Bet

All scenarious in the latest IPPC report (SR15 - Global Warming of 1.5 ºC) require carbon sequestration, so it's really not optional anymore if we want to stay below 1.5°C warming. https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets&#

That depends on your country. Here you can choose your provider, for example, or put your own grid-connected solar panels up.

700 square feet? That's 65 square meters, who even wants that much space for one person? A good-sized flat for a person here has around 40 square meters, so 430 square feet. Insane.

It's good to store a pack for cases of emergency. Even things like a broken supply water pipe on a hot sunday can be harsh, let alone local pollution warnings that last half a day or more. Storing the tap water itself is a lot harder s

Your trash collectors will probably crush the whole thing, so the water will seep out. Polluted, yes, but not locked away for that long. (And even if not, I'd give it a very short time until the water seeps out from micro-fractures any
