The last 10 years are far too short a time period to establish anything due to the variability of the data. If you include more data you get a more accurate result, so do that . 30 years is the usual minimum period considered for climate,

That links says that temperatures are rising "at an average rate of 0.16°C (0.28°F) per decade since 1970." So, "it also false to say that the warming is on pace for even a full degree of warming by the end of the century&quo

Note that these are Antarctic temperatures (as you might guess from "ice core"), not global temperatures.

Have you tried installing TLP? Also, you can check your settings with "powertop", but you need to do some manual config to get any changes to stick.

I'm sorry you've been voted down, because yours is a common misconception. No human player can beat the modern chess engines even running on a smartphone without an opening book. It's incredible how quickly game engines hav

Yes it does. Even assuming you meant "Keplarian mechanics" (circular orbits give horrible predictions for planetary movement), Newton's theory of Universal Gravitation provided much more accurate predictions of the Moon'

This did pique my curiosity, so I had a look at Google Ngram viewer which gave: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=global+warming... It looks from that like the two phrases were equally popular till 1994, wh

ADSL broadband was only introduced to the UK in the year 2000, so 10Mb might be pushing the boat out a bit. A better question is who on earth were they hosting who had a website that was that popular back then? Napster?

Not really. A motorcycle can't ride a bicycle any more than a Ford pickup can play football. Computer programs can play chess better than humans, following the same rules that humans do.

Regarding your search, most of those links are explanations of why you're wrong. The problem is that scientists are saying something like, "Given the measurements we've made of the extra energy the earth is absorbing, we&#x27

His memory was when the phrase "global warming" became "untenable and changed to "climate change"". That's what's wrong. The phrase "Climate Change" was not introduced late on because there

Fair enough. I suppose it doesn't take too much work to add another couple of paragraphs. What about: "Having increased the BI up to £80, I'm now going to cut it again, down to £60 a week. This is to cover pensioners, people
