there were some exceptions though, like in Greece, where banks charged for every sepa transaction. not sure if that's still the case.

"I don't accept" is not an answer though. When the EU can create CBAM, so can (and should) the US and anyone else. That way we don't have to talk about moral responsibility and can progress to adequate international carb

So how much of US emissions is outsourced?

by tpm 1mo ago
Yes, and South Korea too. Efficient service, good food, good prices (for a foreigner), no tipping expected or even possible.

The rainfall deficit and soil dryness is already a year-round problem in our region, this summer is just a very extreme version of that. I am reasonably sure it will get worse even without the potential AMOC collapse.

Fastest acceleration, possibly, yes. But if another region's climate is for example already close to deadly wet bulb temperature during a large part of the year and only a small change puts them over the threshold, then that regions is

The parent wrote: "We are actually in the worst place, given realtive population density.". So I reacted to that. The climate change impact is worse in South Asia AND their population density is much higher. It means many more peo

No we are not in the worst place given relative population density. Look at South & Southeast Asia very carefully - there are countries like Bangladesh with pop. of 177 million in an area of double the Czech Republic (pop. 10 million).

This is an interesting take because for example the EU car fleet emmission rules, fuel taxes, additional member state polluting car taxes etc. do exactly that. Otherwise ICE cars in the EU would be far far cheaper and the EV marketshare wou

There was no time to exploit it because only two cameras were installed, and one of them was right in seat of the company that supplied it.

oh no, they see very clearly, to the West it's a (more or less) rule-based order and to the East it's a might-makes-right one, so they having acquired their power and money in a not entirely legal way, naturally are drawn to the e

Perhaps. What actually happened is that we have a demented interior minister in a unbelievably corrupt but also pro-russian government. So it's really anybodys guess if it's just pure corruption (the interior ministry wanting to b

Russians very much do touch civilians, please don't spread lies of these mass murderers. Aside of what is happening on the frontlines and behind them, they target civilians in towns and cities in all of Ukraine with drones and rockets

Yes, and thank god we Europeans got to be born in pax americana and not before, because there were wars nearly all the time for centuries, if not millenia.

The banking system would probably be fine, only card payments would suffer but there are mostly already alternatives available.

Sure, see also Vietnam, Afganistan, Iraq, Iran, where they didn't get what they wanted.

That's not how any of this works. And anyway, most US bonds are held by US domestic entities.

Huawei has their HarmonyOS but still releases Android phones too for international markets - but these can't use Google Services, so they have their own services. If it's possible to somehow install google services I have no idea.

From Europe, at this point I don't even look at Pixels because of their sad excuse of a battery. Just buying directly from China better phones for half the price. Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi are all good, others probably too, Huawei has nice ha

We don't have a lot of "censorship within the EU", some russian propaganda tv channels might be blocked (as they should) but that's about it really. Now if you mean in a particular EU member, that's different but it

Though the rest of the year will be hot and dry, the winters will still be freezing, which limits what you can do, and late spring frost which kills fruit buds is very common. We should just turn some fields into PV plants...
