But it isn't a theory that explains everything. It isn't like this work is just a one sentence paper reading "climate change means more swingy weather, QED". There are cases of extreme weather where the methodology used in this sort of research does not implicate climate change.
> I feel that developing a carbon capture technology that people have an incentive to install [...] is the best hope. People are just determined to maintain their lifestyles.

I agree, trying to force change on people which they think is against their own comforts, interests or beliefs is almost always a losing proposition. Providing incentives for desirable outcomes and letting people choose is much more effective in the long run and doesn't breed nearly as much resentment (they feel they retain their agency). Our best hope is a play into people's own selfish desires and channel that into a productive outlet (e.g. "install this CO2 scrubber on your roof and make passive income!")

Climate change is an issue that needs to be addressed immediately but unfortunately it's an uphill battle with human nature and the status quo of our culture/society working against us.
Or you know, the refutability criterion.

The denialist theory is that CO2 have no impact on temperature.

So let's build two closed of greenhouses with the same sun exposition, fill one of them with old ambiant air with 450 ppm of CO2 and one with current/predicted ambiant air (750 ppm of CO2), same humidity (or rather, a bassin with the same quantity of water). After a day under the sun, check the temperature of both greenhouses (well, actually, the energy contain in the air of both greenhouses would be better). If one of them have more energy than the second, this "CO2 have no impact on the climate" theory should die and his proponents shut up.

The acidification of the ware is what goes unnoticed. The heat adds to ocean volume but CO2 acidifies water more but it's not noticeable by humans.
To me, critics of carbon removal are engaging in their own agenda as well. Usually they advocate for the abolishment of individual transport, deindustrialisation and lower standards of living. Since those will only be had if there was no alternative, every technique that lets us have our current standard of living is criticized out of hand as non-viable. Only abstinence and discipline for us CO₂-sinners!
Why do you think that statisticians only build models by hand? Dimension reduction techniques are employed in statistical learning as well.
> Reuters found no evidence BGI violated patient privacy agreements or regulations. However, the privacy policy on the NIFTY test’s website says data collected can be shared when it is “directly relevant to national security or national defense security” in China.

> Beijing made clear in a 2019 regulation that genetic data can be a national security matter, and since 2015 it has restricted foreign researchers from accessing gene data on Chinese people. In contrast, the United States and Britain give foreign researchers access to genetic data, as part of open science policies.

This not the privacy debacle people are making it out to be, since names are not collected, this is far less of a privacy invasion than 23andMe since that data base can extrapolate and identify you without your consent based on your relatives.

This is much more of either (which depends on your perspective):

I think they are pointing at an acceleration of the situation. Last summers have been relatively hot in West Europe as well, resulting in people buying airco’s [1]. Of course, people using airco's speeds up global warming (unless the electricity used is 100% renewable).

But at the individual level, it is understandable that people do this during heatwaves. Use green energy ;).

Wasn't the Trump administration in effect ordering the deletion of all climate data [1]? I remember there was a very hefty reaction amongst scientists. I was also furious about that, even as a european. That data was gold.

I'm sorry, I really don't touch politic topics and don't want to limit my thinking to binary left/right leafs of thinking, so regardless who ordered this, it was a fatally wrong and inhuman decision.
Hey Bruno - sounds like a cool concept - wishing you both all the best! Just looking at the screenshot (and being afflicted with the pedantry of being the son of an English teacher), would ‘Ready to take back control of your meetings?’ be more usual/a little less clumsy wording-wise? Not that I think what you’ve written is ‘wrong’ - in some ways it’s fresher/more unusual (‘Ready to bring sexy back to meetings?’ :), but anyhow that’s my tuppence worth!
You are describing a "free for all" market, not a "free market". Protection for patents and trademarks is absolutely compatible with a "free market" economy. But that doesn't mean that all patents and trademarks that have been granted are valid.

The patent and trademark system needs work, but the baby should not be thrown out with the bathwater.
Yeah I would pop entire keys off keyboards to avoid things like this. There was a Sun Microsystems keyboard with a huge Help button in the top-left corner too, which I had to pop off for my own sanity (otherwise every other time I tried to Escape my desktop would pause for a moment and then pop up the Help application window).
Just a reminder: Firefox works great on Android. If you are concerned about privacy or features like those discussed in the article, give it a try.
Anecdotal, but all my friends juul'd in university (some quit some still use it daily). Probably about 30% of them at some point tried to quit juuling by smoking cigarettes instead thinking that the bad taste would deter them for smoking and therefore cause them to consume less nicotine overall. Needless to say that did not work and a few of them now use both cigarettes and juuls.
They won't.

An old friend of mine is a professor who studies climate change. They fairly consistently get hate mail from people who insist that computer modeling as an entire discipline is utterly worthless and should be dismissed without any investigation. There are no reasoned criticisms coming from the denier community.
"Bitcoin is the future of currency"
It is a good tech to have, however most people see it as an easy way out "oh, we'll just scale up carbon capture and I don't have to give up my car and AC". I am highly skeptical that any remotely complicated technology can be scaled enough to counteract massive amounts of fossil fuel burned daily. We burn millions of barrels of oil every day. If you want to solve it via carbon capture, you need to extract it on a similar scale. Have you every heard anyone complaining that they extract so much carbon, they need space to store it? No. That is because we extract miniscule amounts compared to fossil fuels we burn.

one could argue that your conversions are not defined well enough. Define conversion as a qualified lead. Or define conversion as a job application that results in a callback. Then you can go back to obsessing over conversions :-) Not enough people push back when a bad KPI is set.
I respect the research. That's a different thing than having any confidence in the models created.
I also do not think that methodology is flawed, but that it does not produce reliable results (yet) because of the enormous complexity involved.

As somebody who has read more than average about home education and unschooling and certainly contemplated it, but ultimately decided to send their children to school (and can see the pros and cons!), that is interesting. It must be hard to control for the type of parents who decide to unschool and I'm curious as to how they did that.

I guess there might also be a bias in terms of which types of children parents are inclined to home-educate, although I imagine most families do home-ed all their children. I sometimes wonder if mine had been the other way round if the decision might have gone the other way - I think school suits my oldest much more than my youngest.
Do you think there is a time and place where it is more sensible to just go by trial and error.

1) Ensure all carbon emissions is taxed equally - be that burning fuel in a car, buying a double-avocado latte, importing some plastic shit from China etc

2) Distribute the revenue from the carbon tax directly to the population via a UBI, reverse income tax, or something similar.

This gives an incentive to reduce individual carbon use but makes sure that average people don't lose out in general

That are projections with a very unclear reasoning. It is thought that most of the world will follow Europe in population decline, but even North America isn't there yet. And if the reason is something temporary, like current western culture, then it will vanish at some point, leading to more exponential growth again.

Right but you don't need smoke for nicotine - that's the point.

Nicotine is still harmful, but it isn't as lethal as smoke.

And more critically - smoke is dangerous to people around you, while nicotine is just your problem alone. If we can get people off smoke but still on nicotine, that's better for everyone.

Escort
I worked as a prostitute in the past, and, trust me; those things do happen. It just depends on the escort agency you work at. I've worked at a few of them where the managers would be pushing themselves on me like I was their possession or something. Luckily, I learned to protect myself from things like that. On the other hand, I worked at some fantastic agencies where I felt protected. I guess it just depends on how serious they are about their work. When I was working at escorts London, my bosses always offered me the protection I needed, so I felt safe each time I was doing my job.This is the site when you can find me https://aurumgirls.co.uk ))
And imagine how much better each of those things would be if they were held up to additional scrutiny!
It basically becomes a greenhouse if you have windows, and of course the windows have three layers which prevents the precious warm air to leak out. Also the roof is black metal. You basically don't need to have the heater on if it's a sunny winter day - because the heating from the sun.

The biggest problem though is the dryness during the winter, cold air comes in and expands, lowering the relative humidity, warm moisturous air is pushed out by mechanical fans. You get extreme dryness, lower then in the desert, which is not good for mucus membranes. I believe that if we could revolutionise air conditioning systems we could prevent the next pandemic (and maybe help the global climate).

But we're already going to be building those batteries anyway: Electric cars.

What we need is a proper international standard for cars to be able to interact with the grid, to be able to charge and discharge based on grid conditions and pricing.

Its stupid to have everyone coming home from work at 6pm and plugging in their cars to charge right at the existing afternoon demand peak, when solar is waning. Just getting those cars to delay charging until around midnight (allowing user override) would shift a huge amount of peak demand.

Same concept if you don't use your car during the day - it should be able to discharge right into the morning and afternoon peaks, at your control. The user should be credited for this onto their car account.

It might even make sense to have dedicated high-voltage circuitry in houses and apartment blocks, to be used for EVs, solar, etc.

And we should really figure that out immediately since EV production is ramping up right now. We can't just rely on single automakers (Tesla) to work out these societal problems.
Another way to think about it would to change the distance and see if the sentence still makes sense. If the event was on the other side of the world, 100 light-milliseconds away, it wouldn't be an issue. If it happened on Mars, a light-minute or so away, also not an issue. If it happened on the Sun, 8 light-minutes away, this phrasing would also be fine, same for Jupiter and even Pluto. Not sure where the line is, but it's somewhere between 10 light-minutes and 31 million light-years, I guess :P

I downvoted you because it’s just not true that being against covid lockdowns means one is scientifically illiterate or doesn’t care about climate change, so it’s a bad analogy.

Covid is much less serious than climate change.

I believe the scientific consensus on the seriousness of Covid (death rate of 1 in 100-200, nonzero but unquantified risk of long-term side effects), and I think our measures to combat Covid were an extreme overreaction. I also think climate change is by far the most serious problem facing humanity and that no reaction would be too extreme.

> In the real world it means treating a study on 31 American undergrads as scripture

My opinion is that scripture shouldn't be treated as scripture to begin with.

> This policy by science simply doesn't seem very effective.

As a tool for making policy decisions, science gives you access to solutions that might work based on the evidence. Now, that evidence may be completely bogus, so there is no getting around the need for evaluation. But saying that data is a bad basis for goal-oriented action planning is a self-defeating position.

Policy by science is not a meaningful concept on its own, policy action requires a component we haven't talked about yet: a value system. Science can give you the data, but your goals determine what actions should follow. You're certainly correct when you say that politicians are getting some cover from improper data, but overall I find they seldomly hide their motivations.
