Atmospheric CO2 growth rate over time https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/gl_gr.html Year-by-year is alot of noise, but over decades we see mostly steady accelleration.

CO2 won't go down for hundred years. The gas will still be up there and still having the same effects, even if we stop all emissions. This has been warned against for decades already.

I'll second this. It was well worth the couple of evenings switching to i3 and getting up and running. Besides no maintenance work, there are three main reasons for me: 1) Most of the default config works well out-of-the-box, and you c

Climate scientists are desperate to find contrary evidence. With the scientific method, this won't ever change. So far there are metareports from UN here, and being updated now: https://www.ipcc.ch/reports/

With warming, cloud cover go down, even with much more water-vapor in the air. So is more like a net contributor to warming rather than a breaker.

Everything will be green and growing, until you get mega-droughts. There may be land that may see a net benefit, but overall, there will be more instability and chaos globally. This will affect everybody at some point in time. Just because

Forest management is bad overall, who will pay for it? In US/Canada the heat dome made for extreme weather. In Europe, record heat and rainfall causing extreme floods. We're having both, bad mitigation and climate catastrophe, goi

Report show that vaccine may provide broader defense though: https://www.nih.gov/how-immunity-generated-covid-19-vaccines...

Same with age here in Europe. I believe they call it family , ugh! ;)

That fantasy vaccine doesn't exist, and what if it triggers auto-immune syndrome?

The truth lie in the potential of the virus strain itself. It's getting every opportunity to mutate in this world. That is not preventable.

A possibility [1] [2], though contagion is shortened substantially with vaccine, so unlikely still. Probably a good idea to wear masks and physical distance until infections go down. This virus being novel and widespread, there's nothi

While getting to truth may be very helpful, most models just simulate observed facts and effects, to see if it is useful and can be validated. The point is not to predict, but to see how much variance different models can display, what one

My take on it, this has been the status quo for 200 years. Native American Indians warned about this hundreds years ago. From the natural world it has been obvious for a looong time!

India has lots of villages, slums and people in between having very poor material standards compared to Western countries. But people are also much more interconnected, rely on each other and find ways to get by. So to get that culture, you

While making notes about config & tips for various linux software, the bar in my book is actually wether you can live with the defaults and how little tweaking something needs. It's the exact opposite of sinking costs, and rather f

Knowing the correlation, it may make it easier to understand the reasons behind and how people get recruited into violent cults. If it doesn't generalize well, it may be a dead end though.

Raising the temperature in a pot on the oven will in time lead to the same state of boiling temperature. Especially if closing the lid. Greenhouse effect is also settled science (please see demo on youtube). So exact predictions are not
