Reading an interview that actually focuses on the interviewed was refreshing. Question, response, question, response. Too many of the articles I've read lately, especially the ones about insect decline, intersperse the dialogue with di

Exactly: The Coke ad is actionable and makes you feel good. I at least want the first part to be true for alarmist journalism.

I wish that articles like these could end with at least some point of action that I could take to improve the situation. If the public should act, give them something actionable: Calling their local council, joining an organization, not cut

Some fun facts about these tales: "East of the Sun and West of the Moon" is the original source material for Disney's Beauty and the Beast, being the inspiration for La Belle et la Bête. Collecting Norwegian folk tales was a

About the water vaporizing: I'm guessing the pool is so "huge" that the sheer amount of energy required to vaporize the water can't be found in the fissile fuel alone. That doesn't account for the possibility of a l

That's development costs. With time, the infrastructure to make these burgers will be as widely available as that to make cow burgers, and that will bring costs down.

Despite the misanthropic title, the article ends on a positive note: > Thanks to our cultural evolution, we have cities, houses, and indoor plumbing. As a result, to the benefit of our health, we learned to use toilets. A primate with su

Could be, but given the much larger influence that the state oil company Equinor (previously Statoil) exerts on the government, I'd not think it's likely.

This may be different from my phone to yours, but the eyes bounced back and forth on Safari mobile. This definitely took attention away from the article.

I'm in my twenties now, periodically overwhelmed by the current and potential future misery of the world. However, I have lately been able to cope with my misery by realizing that my misery is only subjective, which softens it. Perhaps

I'm genuinely interested in how you find comfort in nihilism (I currently don't, but I'm not against the thought). Have you genuinely changed your attitude towards the universe, are you just ignoring your sad thoughts, …?

I don't think any of the restrictions you mention should be called authoritarian. Nations and the world have made many things illegal in the name of the common good before, e.g. child labor, slavery and leaded gasoline: Taking away som

Tax savings, no doubt. The motivation behind the reduced taxes is to bring economy and ethics in balance, so they're working as intended.

I'd like to add that the mobile version is perhaps even worse. Had to use landscape mode and the siding gallery to get an acceptable resolution. When I tried pinch zooming, the pictures disappeared so that I had to reload the page, sta

Most climate models take that into account, from what I've heard. It's not enough to mitigate the rising temperatures, though.

Analogy: If someone on a diet keeps losing weight, they will disappear too. But outside pressures and incentives change, and there's also internal regulation. Your weight will stabilize sooner or later. I think the same goes for popula

I live in Oslo. This article is exaggerating how far this process has come as much as its pictures exaggerate the amount of sun. Come summer and they'll both be around, but for now there's plenty of cars.

Yeah. It took surprisingly long before I realized how similar the format was (the Voltron point). I liked it.

I once read “Versekunsten”, an entire book on rhyme and rhythm by the Norwegian poet André Bjerke, (which I'm highly recommending to any Scandinavian speakers with a thing for language and literature). The most interesting out of the h
