Just that power for the wealthy and powerful is what’s important. The rest is just words to manipulate, not to convey meaning.

That doesn’t solve the demonetization problem that is facing almost all commercial left-of-center speech in the US. Unless people can make a living at it, there won’t be much of it.

I think he’s announced a lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal

When Trump signed the letter, all hurricanes had womens’ names

Yeah, WSJ gift links have a view count cap. Hence the archive link above. I’ll edit with a fresh gift link, but it’ll likely run out too.

The problem is that if you’re downwind of plants or people or industry, you get a local CO2 concentration that can be quite different from that in well-mixed parts of the atmosphere

You need watershed-level forecasts for flash floods, like a list of huc12s that will be impacted

No. But its important to make the improvement in cost and peoples lives that can come with well-done decarbonization tangible for people

The point of the false accusations was to normalize malicious prosecution and create Republican support for doing it.

Her definition — making electricity cheap by taking advantage of the way wind and solar are now cheaper than fossil fuels, doesn’t seem like “further left”

People being threatened while experiencing some sort of mental health crisis don’t do that. Cops need to not just shout orders and threaten people, but actively deescalate to prevent unnecessary shootings.

There is a long history of most police killings being situations where officers could have deescalated but chose to shoot, or being mistaken about the presence of a gun other than their own.

The plan has always been to deport huge numbers of US citizens who aren’t white enough for Vance & Miller

The non-release is creating a pool of people who no longer trust Trump. That helps

The Republican dream

You’re assuming that the world is covered in server racks. I don’t expect anything like that, even with significant increases in datacenter construction.

Let’s assume 1kw per person. 10 billion people at peak population some time hence. So about 150 billion m² to provide 1kw per person 24/7. The earth’s surface area is 510.1 trillion m², of which about 1/3 is land. So we’re probably just fine on renewables.

Nah. They bought off the feds, so they’ve got years to go. Also, it’s a lot more profitable for shareholders to find a greater fool to sell to than it is to exit the business.

I agree that it would have been better for people to figure things out a lot sooner. Its really hard for folks who are either listening to the right wing propaganda machine or tuned out from the news. I’ll take late over never any day.

Three options:

1. Go to every embassy or consulate you can and try to get a visa
2. Live illegally in another country
3. End up in a concentration camp

Nothing people do has zero impact. But pretty much everything else has a bigger one. Coal will utterly destroy the land, and the gases emitted after it burns will destroy far more.

Solar like this on a few percent of the land will supply all the electricity people need. So it looks huge, but is surprisingly low-impact compared with other options, or things like raising cattle
