Totally agreed ... IF you plant a tree, and let it grow, then pellitize and transport it in a green way, then burning it won't release more hydrocarbons than it accumlated.

Take the thorn out of the lion's paw, and don't charge him $10,000.

Fire that consumes hydrocarbon fuels and oxygen liberates CO2. So yeah. Gasoline, diesel, natural gas, wood chips, all hydrocarbon fuels. NO SUCH THING as 'green' wood burning.

I think NYT is correct in this sense: I haven't heard Harris herself say much about 'climate change' let alone 'global warming'.

We all get that. Candidates tend to stay away from talking about stuff that makes people feel bad because it sticks to them. But I've not heard her even address expanding renewables as rapidly as possible, or even heat pumps. No doubt that's the advice she's getting. One reason is that the cars we're driving are a major source of CO2. Nobody's touching that elephant.

This is the ongoing story of Microsoft since it started.

I was in the tunnel, not the steam pipes running through the tunnel.

 

Already got you? this article tells you how you can fix it.

I have a browser extension for that. When I open a page and a 'subscribe' popup hides the text, I click on that button, and it shows me the URL it's going to block, and I click OK. The next time I get tricked into going to that page, it tells me it's blocked.

Pretty sure there are no 'monopolies are legal' clause in the Constitution. Whereas Congress has created several anti-monopoly Acts.

Why heck, darn it, they've even offered to sell a dozen or two of their lower-performing stores if that would clinch the deal.

The steam tunnel system under that big midwestern university. Once in, it led underneath most every building on the campus. There are many other mysteries hidden in the underground -everywhere-.

Wow. I can't believe it took me so long to learn about that. And no tour needed. Interesting, thanks!

 

An acoustic experiment reveals that spooky forest sounds may come from above.

That's a lot cheaper than the laughable $1 + 45 cents per minute Lime is charging for their bikes where I live... $28 for the first hour. HA HA

That is one of the drawbacks of not having to carry a dictionary around ... ever again!

 

"Oreskes knew that scientists had been working to understand how carbon dioxide affected the global climate since the late 19th century. So she set about writing what she thought would be a short paper to correct the record.... Her paper ballooned into an 124-page analysis, soon to be published in the journal Ecology Law Quarterly."

An idea worth pursuing I guess. My first question: in case this gets forgotten about in the distant future, how could it be marked so there's a good chance of being found?

Yeah, they cost money. So does installing air-conditioning. But they use no energy ( that'd would be bad for fossil energy-producers).

 

"Joby took a pre-production prototype of one of its battery-electric aircraft and outfitted it with a liquid hydrogen fuel tank and fuel system. The modified, hydrogen-powered VTOL was able to complete a 523 mile flight above Marina, California..."
