Last year China installed more solar than the rest of the world combined, but they have less than 1/5th of the worldpopulation 🤷

There are lot's of things you can criticize China about, their commitment to renewable energy isn't one of them.

Of all ways to get rid of dictators you choose Lybia as a good example. I rest my case.

Sure they can

I'm not convinced that source isn't just spreading the urban myth. You're going to have to come with something with more weight behind it than the webpage of a seller of heatpumps. Here's another source saying it has nothing to do with eating: https://www.la-tour.ch/fr/conseils/se-baigner-apres-manger-faut-il-vraiment-attendre-3-heures

And what does that have to do with swimming after eating?

It's mathematically proven that no voting system is perfect, so you'll have to choose what you value most in a voting system. There is no clear best system.

I think the arguments for approval voting are strong. It's simple and easy to understand, no need for complex multiple rounds of counting. Since you can't rank candidates it doesn't suffer from the spoiler effect.

In your hypothetical scenario you're forgetting the Trump voters who will vote for Sanders again after they see Biden nearly beating him. RCV has a bigger problem which is called the spoiler effect where, without strategical voting a loser can influence the election results. And am I missing something or should the numbers in your RCV list add up to 100%?

A Honda civic weights ~1100kg. The kinetic energy of a vehicle is proportional to v^2^. Therefore, a vehicle going at 30MPH delivering the same kinetic energy as a Honda civic at 130MPH needs to weigh in at 130^2^/30^2^*1100kg or 20tons. Modern American trucks are too big and heavy but not that big and heavy I think

No, we damn well aren’t.

It's not a clear cut case, but if you look at the development of solar, battery and other renewable technology we definitely are on the right track to stop the worst. We might even be able to reverse some of it by the end of the century.

It could also make it vastly worse in the future, which is the more likely scenario.

Yes, I wrote that in the next paragraph...

Some times this place is really worse than Reddit, wallowing in self pity and downvoting anything positive. In many aspects this is still the best time to be alive no matter where you live in the world and the future is potentially very, very bright.

In short, solar prices are declining exponentially and deployment is growing exponentially. There are even companies claiming to be able to make efuels from air using solar cheaper than fossil fuels by the end of the decade.

Not the End of the World by Hannah Ritchie is a good book if you want to read something optimistic.
