Israel heavily restricted imports of construction material especially concrete before the war. Even if you can recycle the destroyed concrete and get some material back to make new stuff there will be a huge shortage of building material.

That might mean they don’t send as many of their workers and it takes longer to finish.

Also the guy from Ireland who had his subdermal piercings involuntarily cut out without anesthetic.

That’s the thing you do after 2080 when you have too much energy. Because you have to add in all the energy from burning it, and it’s very unproductive.

Ironically you can use it without logging on, so the people hurt the most are the paid users that are voluntarily giving money to the company.

Because if there’s anything people have learned about Mexico, it’s that they don’t have any blankets. Or anything like rope or fabric covers that can easily just be tossed on it.

Anything mined in space will be used in space. But you can build orbital colonies that are nice. You just need lots of mass to build stuff and have plenty of water and be big enough to rotate.

Yeah, you have millions of old books that nobody wants not even collectors. It’s not just popular literature.

Trees are good and general greenery too, but then you run into water issues which will be the limiting factor for a lot of stuff going forward as fresh water availability decreases and groundwater runs low.

The money is going to salaries, so it’s basically just extended development. They’re all working and doing something. It’s basically just instead of releasing a game 6 years ago that was barebones and okay they’re making the sequel and won’t release the final game until they’re well done.

I’m confident it will release eventually, maybe another 5-8 years. As long as the devs don’t die of old age.

It’ll be both, even a very aggressive response will take decades for it to Stop getting hotter then at best it will not get hotter. It will be 4-5 decades at best before it gets cooler.

Methane adds some uncertainty to that though. If you were to stop using gas it might cool off after it disappears in a decade in the atmosphere.

But it will keep getting hotter in every circumstance even if we act aggressively on climate change.

Famine for ocean animals and more hurricanes in the even hotter tropics for starters.

Vegetarian is enough to get most of the benefits for environmental reasons. But it’s foolish to wait until that happens, it can’t wait.

No, we literally cannot safely build a glass dome that big. I do think large blimps with reflective tops could cool a city a little though.

Cooling down at night is actually a really big deal, plants and animals both use the chill night to rest from the heat. When the night stays hot then the heat really does a lot more damage to health.

There’s a basic assumption that the climate of an area is fixed. We don’t really have a good mechanism for adjusting the climate of an area quickly. But eventually you have to say that the weather hasn’t been hotter than normal for a decade, this is just the new normal.

It started out hotter than it would be and the heatwave is at least a few degrees more severe than it would be otherwise.

There are steps needed to slow global warming and become carbon neutral. Those don’t matter much if someone shows up and machine guns your town and loots it.

Spy books have taught me that the mole will be the person in charge of or who ordered the investigation.

What events? It’s clear that being a nuclear state is great for preventing invasion. If you have a submarine fleet with nukes you won’t be invaded.
