I can recommend looking into the IPCC report, chapter 9, Evaluation of Climate Models [0], chapter 11, Near-term Climate Change: Projections and Predictability [1] and chapter 12, Long-term Climate Change: Projections, Commitments and Irrev

You're right, it's not simple. I still believe most people can understand all thee things you mention if they.put the time and energy in. Most of the things are complex, not complicated.

Good point. It's only half the distance without stopping since there is a full workday before going back, but it's still not close. 3 miles is pretty standard around here, I think about 75% of people could do it. (excluding small

Of course it's counteracted by the plants.. You can see this signal strongly in the CO2 timeline as seasonal variation since most plants are on the land masses of the northern hemisphere and metabolize less in winter, leading to a temp

Newtonian mechanics is the approximation of Einstein's work to the speeds and masses that are accessible on Earth, it is not wrong and usually still sufficient unless you need insane precision or want to research large masses or speeds

Well then write an email to the authors and ask them about it (maybe not with that tone though). I'm pretty sure you'll get an answer. Edit: Seriously, if you think we made a mistake we want to know about it in detail. Just consid

You would make the whole community overjoyed if you gave us sound arguments for why we don't have a problem. We see it in the data, and do our very best to run simulations to predict the future of this chaotic system (we should have th

Ah, but that gets you in trouble with non-native speakers fast. There are advantages and disadvantages to using a broad and precise vocabulary.

Dryers are so energetically wasteful though, and the advantage to line drying can be low (barring high humidity climate or lack of space). There should be a better solution.

Ah, but also not all permission asking is the same. Sometimes it's best to ask someone local and knowledgeable for unofficial permission and just do it than to run up and down the full command chain and paperwork. (a paper trail makes

I can recommend growing a handful of chilli plants as a substitute. They can last several years if you protect them from frost and are remarkably resistant against problems.

https://ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar5/wg1/WG1AR5_Chapter... Check page 291 for an overview of components and time lines. This is still the current scientific consensus AFAIK (no major updates).

Hm, good point. The idea was to have it accessible for everyone, not just me, and to get bigger and nicer stuff. Some equipment on kids' can actually be used by all of the heaviest adults, but it's not allowed. Build it a bit more

Nono, I'm talking about fun equipment, not gym style. Adult-compatible and -allowed ropeways (also without seats, you just hang on) and slides and seesaws and carousels. The local indoor playground used to have an evening where they in

I wish there were more free playgrounds that can also be used by adults, spread around like the ones for kids. I also like ropeways, climbing high, swings etc. Instead adults get boring repetive-movement fitness equipment.

It's interesting though that a fly will bounce against the window all day (barring statistical luck) while a wasp or bee will bounce once, understand that that place cannot be passed, bounce the next window once and then find the open

We have a kettle that can be set to temperatures between 60°C and 100°C. I cannot recommend this enough.
