No one that is an American politician will be directly financed by Russia. It would always be indirect or hidden shell companies.

Senate investigation is sadly partisan and doesn’t mean much anymore. They’ll find what they wanted to find.

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.

Lol. I just have a writing style that I use. It can be considered eclectic with a mix of various influences. The pluralized word is a buffy “whedonesque” influence.

But the point is that Russia has been running alternative warfare efforts and cyber stuff for a long time. They stoke various movements and invent ideas and spread them with bots and shills. Basically anything that strengthens Russian imperialism and weakens or fractures NATO.

Weakening NATO is their goal.

There’s been a number of news coverages of this. It’s not like it’s the biggest operation or anything but they have been trying to plant that seed intentionally.

Lots of it is still pretty shit, but that’s what happens when you have an entry on incredibly obscure things where there’s not a lot of sources information.

California and West Coast separatism is most strongly advocated by Russian agents seeking to weaken the US.

We’re still limited by what the HDMI and DP cables can throughput so it’s not like 8k tvs are even ready. Nobody wants an 8k tv if the cables can’t even transmit full fat uncompressed signal.

There’s still the political organization with leaders and they claim to have a few hostages that are still alive.

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.
