I repeat: Live thrived under much harsher conditions in the past. It will not suddenly die out. I find your pessimism unfounded. I’m sure humankind will exist for at least another millennium.

Ocean acidification will not kill all algae. They existed for much longer than most other forms of live. They survived the +14 °C 300 million years ago, guess how acid the oceans were back then. Also about 300 million years ago oxygen levels in the atmosphere peaked at about 35 % indicating a very strong production by plants. The algae species from back then are still alive today!

+3 °C just means that the average temperature on Earth increased by that on average. There are places where the increase is higher and there are places where the temperature dropped. And then there are other places where the weather will be more violent than it was in the past.
The melting of permafrost in Russia that keeps methane trapped will probably be a problem in the future but that’s still several decades or even a century away. The release of methane will not kill us. But it might kill a lot of species.

It’s not the temperature that’s the problem, it’s the rate of change. Flora and fauna can’t adapt that fast. 10 000 years would be enough time to adapt to +3 °C but it’ll happen within only a 150 years time span.

Humans on the other hand will just install an air con and be done with ‘adapting’. Some coastal areas will be flooded and some hot places on Earth will be too hot for humans but everywhere else will stay ‘ok’.

Live on Earth will survive. There were times when temperature and atmosphere conditions were way more extreme and even toxic for humans. But the dinosaurs thrived in that conditions!

Nope. That’s a common misconception about climate change. Humankind will not die out anytime soon. But a lot of places on this world will become inhospitable and the people that are currently living there will migrate.

Guess where they’ll want to migrate to when they have to?

There will be a price to pay for past decisions

Yeah, that price is that no sane economy will invest in Russia as long as they are scum. They have proven that they don’t care about contracts, sovereignty, territorial borders and human dignity.

Doesn’t sound that impressive when Wendelstein 7-X achieved 17 minutes of plasma in 2021.

It seems a move that’s not only intended to help Ukraine repel Russia, but end defense dependence on the US, on the premise that the partner no longer is reliable.

Which is a good thing IMO. From this side of the large pond the USA looks more and more like a bully on par with Russia and China.

East of UA is fucked for decades but Russia is fucked too. Both countries burnt through quite a lot of their arsenal from Soviet times and struggle to keep their troops supplied. UA has it easier because the European countries help with weapons, munitions and other equipment.

Unfortunately Russia can sustain the current attrition rate by another 5-10 years before the situation becomes truly unbearable for them. My fear is that by then the UA might have collapsed.

The best case scenario is that Putin dies shortly and his successor ends this stupid war.

Or you just switch to LibreWolf where all these settings are already set. It even comes with uBlock preinstalled.

Those apps are like Google search. They are designed to keep you occupied, to make you pay for subscriptions and click on ads.

They are not designed to find you a good partner.

8-10 years is a fully fledged pv system. The small balcony panels pay themselves after about 5 years, longer if you add a battery.

In Germany those panels usually pay themselves after about 5 years depending on the price of the necessary electronics (don’t forget the electricity meter!) and if there’s also a battery.

As of now it’s just a small thing. If X keeps denying the requested information the penalty can increase quickly by for example by setting a daily late fee of several million Euro. If X still doesn’t comply they can raid their German offices for the requested information. If X still doesn’t comply they can shut X down in Germany, maybe even in all of EU to force compliance.

But usually you don’t need the extreme stuff.

I’m an outsider.

Do you think the military will comply with an order to invade Canada? Usually the higher ups are pretty sane people (in the West).

Arrrr! Welcome aboard, ye scallywags!

Never head of Cerebras. shrug

The world buys Nvidia. 98% of datacenter GPUs are made by Nvidia.

I see no reason for that to change. Everybody is using them, knows how to use them and pretty much every AI software in existence runs on them.
