I love routinely sailing into a military base that's not in my country, that the country it's in doesn't want, and that is in a country I happen to have embargoed despite the condemnation of every other country on the planet. It's just routine, after all.
sigh
China is heading towards peak coal demand, national association says
China Coal Group Says Peak Demand Imminent as Clean Power Grows
Blaming an increase in the rate of carbon increases on China's coal consumption seems rather incongruent with the facts. Are we all choosing to ignore the second-order effects of methane emissions from natural gas? Methane does break down back to CO2, after all, but while it's still methane it's a substantially more potent greenhouse gas.
Fuck. Natural. Gas.
Have you sat in a Chinese EV? They put US and European one to shame.
Chinese solar panels used to not be great, but today they're easily competitive with the best that US and European vendors have to offer but at a fraction of the cost.
The US publicly said that there was an increased risk in Moscow for the 48 hours following March 7th. Whether they privately said anything more is unknown (neither side is too eager to share).
Indeed, for the 48 hours following March 7th, security at places like Crocus City Hall was ramped up.
Edit: would you like to hazard a guess as to what was happening at Crocus City Hall on March 7th-9th?
Maybe, just maybe, we should be considering the impacts of increased natural gas consumption on climate change? Although direct CO2 emissions from burning are about half that of coal, natural gas (i.e., methane) is a GHG that's 80x more potent than CO2 over 20 years and about 30x more potent over 100 years.
Meanwhile, a significant proportion of natural gas is lost during transmission due to leakage... Figures, then, that the symptoms of climate change seem to be escalating just as natural gas is being used to replace coal.
Burning natural gas does have an important benefit: it burns much cleaner, which reduces particulate emissions.
ISIL posted a photo on one of its Telegram channels on Saturday claiming to show the four men who launched the attack. The group said the attack was part of ISIL’s “raging war” on countries fighting Islam.
Interesting that the Islamic State completely ignores Israel, given that Israel is in the process of digging tunnels under and denying Muslims access to the third most holy site in all of Islam...
This article is a joke. The Economist is a joke. The OP's entire history is a joke.
I have never felt more ashamed to be Canadian. In 2016, Canada had 220 thousand Lebanese-Canadians and 50 thousand Palestinian-Canadians. It feels like the complete alienation of the Arab community.
Who cares about Tate?
The people arrested will have been charged, right?
The fact is that this was a conscious choice, even recently. The switch to natural gas that everyone is touting is one that is designed to cause higher short-term emissions.
Methane is really bad over a 20-year time frame and only really lets natural gas equal coal over a 100-year period (assuming typical fugitive emissions rates). The transition from coal to natural gas is accelerating the rate at which we boil ourselves alive.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the first commercially-funded (i.e., non-government) nuclear fusion reactor. Notable investors are MiHoYo (developers of Genshin Impact), Nio (Chinese EV company), and Sequoia Capital...
