That's just comparing them with coal to sound great. The three major nuclear accidents do not represent the worst which nuclear plants are capable of. For example we have yet to see what can happen if a nuclear plant is sabotaged - tha

I once worked for a short spell in a tree-planting squad in the highlands of Scotland. The seasoned planters were olympically fit and each planted around 100 saplings an hour across rough mountainside.

You mean running a permanent experiment on the genetic diversity and interplay of forest species across the globe? Luckily such recklessness is unnecessary.

Studies on this are very valuable. The IPCC's AR5 advises this kind of action to be funded and analyzes different policy approaches to enable action. There is no justification at skepticism and entertaining back-of-the-envelope gotchas

You have wildly mistaken the plain meaning of that statement. They declare their model suggests global warming will drive the loss of carbon from soils - not Trees, or aforestation programs.

Considerable academic studies and literature on this subject exists. Recent capture rate from current global forestation is estimated to be approximately 2.5 GtC/year. Current global carbon stock of forests is estimated to about 861 Gt

Can you clarify what you are saying about the method of measuring results?

But the results are very strong. In the treatment group, almost 1 in 5 patients went from severe autistic symptoms to normal (clear). And almost 2 in 5 patients went from severe to mild. This begs the question, is any other treatment known

Gracile Chimps (bonobos) eat "fruits, nuts, shoots, stems, pith, leaves, roots, flowers and tubers. Mushrooms are occasionally eaten, and invertebrates such as termites, worms and grubs make up a small proportion of their diet." -

Just looking now.. Mice have similar brain/body-mass ratio as humans. There is no strong (or visible) distinction in brain size between carnivores and herbivores in these comparisons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

I don't subscribe to New Scientist's trick title or the theories of nutrient limited mammalian brain evolution. Compare brain size of carnivore species with herbivores - there is no overt division in average or max brain size. Gen

I do see floating point as like automatically compressed integers, but unlike simulations such as, Conway's game of life, the operations in a physics simulation produce real number values even if we begin with integer state, due to squ

Im not sure. Simulated observers could also observe the direction of time progression; that orders in the past become irrecoverable to them is a mechanistic result of infinite precision not being preserved from one moment to the next.

In a physical simulation, you can't simply set the timestep to -1 to recover previous states for the sole reason that each step adds inaccuracy to the model by way of rounding error. Like this saying "There is nothing in the form

I am quite wary of this kind of thing, but fine graphine dust should be very similar to fine graphite dust of which plenty of experience already exists. Graphite has the same structure as graphine, only less orderly.
