    38% of cars sold in China are now electric, Sinopec says the ICE is doomed

    Unlike religion, this isn't faith based. I am. Should that change what I believe? I find that rather odd. Consequences of things should not change if things are true or not. If anything, I would say I agree with your assessment and am waiting on your proposed solution as so far instead of...

    38% of cars sold in China are now electric, Sinopec says the ICE is doomed

    The issue is, if you don't raise wages for those people, they can't afford something US made, with employees wanting US wages. edit: and what do you think happens with the second hand market when you make cheap new options unavailable....

    If you move the question about pollutants dissipating I think you can do whatever you fancy ( I think you should preserve the cause and effect of messages at least ;) ). Other then that, yeah it's hard to separate the issues, but I'm fine with only discussing solutions here other then fighting...

    The only process in which existing co2 in 'dissipated' is photosynthesis. As you can deduct, most of it remains in the atmosphere or is taken up in the ocean. So no, with this ( co2 ) we should look at total pollution caused if we were to look for 'blame'. The co2 the US has 'given' the world is...

    It would go a long way if the largest source would not claim it's better to 'Drill baby Drill'. *yes I will keep keep calling the US the biggest polluter until China would actually overtake you in total polution caused.

    .. which is why I said I can not proof it. But I'm just plain me, there are way smarter people who do seem to think this is what we should be doing. ...and the US is still ahead of everyone else when it comes to accumulated pollution. Here's a ranking of countries by their historical...

    Anthropogenic Global Warming is real or not?

    If current water levels in those rivers aren't 'climate change' then neither is the Aral sea. I think you might be mistaken my post with sarcasm, I was being serious. Not that I don't agree, but that's the argument you will get from someone denying human caused climate change -> it's just bad...

    But the mistake people make is thinking that because things haven't gotten better, we've not made a difference. What if we done nothing, and it would be not 1.5c warmer but 3c right now already? What would the effects be? Or 5c? How would that curve look right now if we had not already lowered...

    Yup, just as it's not feasible to add mass dampening to houses. edit: Not only that, fixing the problem is cheaper then fighting the results.

    RIP. Greenville, Berry Creek, Big Creek, Paradise California

    It's the same problem, and cheapest solution is lowering emissions. That's the whole debate ( ... which we're NOT having here.. because it's meant for the other thread ). And yeah that's how skyscrappers been built for a long time, with counter weights ( Flatiron building in New Yorck 1903...

    RIP. Greenville, Berry Creek, Big Creek, Paradise California

    Did you just propose a giant skyscrapper with a giant weight in them, to actually 'stop' the earthquake from happening? I get your principle, but humans aren't capable of creating a force large enough or controlled enough to mimic the forces involved in an earthquake even a mild one. Assuming...

    Windbreaks do work, don't need to be 3 miles high to work either. But they have a severely limited area in which they affect ground speed ( their intended use case ). And often cause bigger problems at the border of this area ( peak wind speeds will likely be higher, and direction fluctuate, due...

    38% of cars sold in China are now electric, Sinopec says the ICE is doomed

    I did come to that same conclusion, pointed out by the increase in % of 'rich people' vs 'poor people' being stable. When I said 'I feel it's getting worse' it's more the perception of how bad it is. People in the 70's might complain about the economy not being great for them, but they had the...

    RIP. Greenville, Berry Creek, Big Creek, Paradise California

    Not to mention starting to model an entire city of 'odd shaped' buildings, the vortexes they could create depending on wind conditions. That windbreak protects shipping right behind it. The further you get from it the less effect on groundspeed it has. Don't see how this would even be...

    Anthropogenic Global Warming is real or not?

    .. but but but that was just those pesky Ruski's with their cotton plantageons ( iirc )... aka more severe water mismanagement, not climate change? Or is water mismanagement at that scale, fitting the definition of 'human caused ( local ) climate change'? If that's true, I think I should...

    Spherical buildings would indeed deal with winds better. But there are some issues with them, as we can glean from the 'Bolwoningen' we have here ( maintenance issues and limited internal space, both can be fixed one with modern design and materials and the other with just increasing scale )...

    38% of cars sold in China are now electric, Sinopec says the ICE is doomed

    That's why I added my ending sentence ;) I do feel like it's getting worse with time, when I was growing up there were still so many people around who actually were alive in WWII, the current generation doesn't have that ( I guess for American's this timeline will be different / should be...

    If home fireproofing is so effective, it should be mandatory imho. Just as I feel Spain should by law mandate better early detection, warning and implementation of flash flooding drainage systems. Just like the Dutch did after the 1953 floods. It is the only way to ensure things get done...

    It's so eerie seeing rows of houses which look totally unaffected, and then 'out of nowhere' a house is totally gone. Thoughts are with those affected.

    Anthropogenic Global Warming is real or not?

    I said there are cycles involved which influence presence of co2 like plant growth and absorption of co2 in ocean water which will cause a drop in emissions now to not always be measurable directly in atmospheric co2. Just because we lowered emissions during covid temporarily, temperature was...

    'Be prepared to pay more' -> uhm I assume you voted to raise minimum wages in that case, by like 50% or so at least? Most people are struggling as is. Or at least they perceive their existence as a struggle... If you want to convince people that it's fair for them to pay more, you first have...
