The study is for Europe, but in the US, the construction industry writes a model code and localities mostly just adopt it with fairly limited local changes

Not that anybody but billionaires will ever get paid

Each week the government said less about the findings of the board of inquiry which was to decide how the $5000 per person could be wangled. It became easier to answer malcontents with a cuff from a Minute Man than by repetitious statements from Washington.

There has been a big PR effort by the fossil fuels industry to blame arson, when that’s been responsible for a fraction of fires forever. What’s changed is the higher temperatures and lower humidity that goes with them, letting otherwise easily-contained fires grow rapidly. And that change is a result of burning fossil fuels.

California at the point where utility-scale batteries can power the state overnight a few days a year. If we are actually able to build offshore wind, and proceed with the planned battery build-out, it’s going to be most of the year. And the ecological armageddon isn’t happening.

f-hub should really be renamed the ExxonMobil Holding Corporation so that if the US imposes sanctions on it, as just happened to an Italian operation, the silly pattern matching implementation of those sanctions completely trips up a fossil fuels firm.

The amount locked in is more like 2°C if we did a crash shift off fossil fuels and meat. Those higher numbers presuppose that people won’t forcibly shut down fossil fuel using plants and equipment before the end of its useful life.

They don’t show any indication that they’re going to listen to the judge.

They’re not yet at runaway. If we drop emissons to zero, then temperatures stabilize within a human lifetime

I don’t know or care what’s down in their heart or heart or innermost thoughts. It doesn’t really matter either. What matters is that they spend a huge amount of money promoting hate so that they will have a slightly lower tax rate

It’s not their first article on the topic.

Basically all the crazy computer security problems start affecting ballots. You really don’t want to do this if it can possibly be avoided. Particularly not in the US where you don’t have any kind of universal way to identify people online in any kind of reliable way.

You turn up. In person. You show the ability to interfere with political fundraising. You work to turn out voters on your side. You areange boycotts and other measures.

It’s on us.

Start asking local officials to arrange for volunteer ballot delivery and print-at-home

All of the above, with there being a pretty wide variety of cooling designs in use. Most of the data center cooling water needs are actually in the power plants that supply them.

It makes an absolutely huge difference actually. The presence/absence of a major right-wing propaganda outlet changes local opinion by about five percentage points.

It’s not the only source, or even a majority, but it is big enough to matter and it saves money for almost everybody to stop. (Sole real exception: arctic populations who have to import anything agricultural)
