Formula 1 switched to semi-automatic in the 1980s. The technology has only improved over the last 40 years. If fast is what you want, driving a manual is insanity.

Donald Trump is 78 and Barron Trump turned 18 this year.

They really don't have anything, do they?

Although we do still need to keep an open mind. Most approaches take years to roll out. For example, Solar wasn't very efficient in its infancy, but there have been massive improvements since then. Nobody was talking about e-bikes replacing many car journeys; they might not have got anywhere if we hadn't already had big investments in battery and motor technology thanks to e-cars.

I hear what you're saying, but I think the real problem is the policy makers, who are without doubt choosing to use the least scary predictions, and pushing even those targets back when they fail to achieve them.

"In this case, their very specific prediction was that warming of between 1.5°C and 4.5°C would accompany a doubling of atmospheric CO₂" https://theconversation.com/40-years-ago-scientists-predicted-climate-change-and-hey-they-were-right-120502

Isn't the problem more that people have been reading that and assuming that it means 3°, not 'possibly 4.5°' ?

That said, the study there seems to assume that the effects are roughly linear, ie. that there are no tipping points.

I don't think the billionaires' investments are going to be worth billions if the global economy collapses.

I don't think China wants that.

What efficient means: switching from ecologically expensive foods like beef to lower impact vegetarian diets.

What efficient does not mean: using vast quantities of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.

If organizing multiple riots across the country doesn't count as domestic extremism, what does?

The graph clearly shows that the second half of July was hotter than in 2023 so the next string of record hot months had already begun when they wrote the article. Ridiculous.
