"It’s not questioning the COP process, on the contraary, we need it more than ever, but we need to move into action mode,” Prof Rockström said.

Are they publically traded?

I wonder if that amount to false advertisement, or if that amount to misleading investors.

Moreover, it’s big government interfering into business decisions.

I wonder if the same elected politicians support the right for business to refuse customers based religious beliefs, and oppose the right of business to invest or not based on objective sustainably assessments.

I hope businesses aggressively oppose these regulations in court.

even a broken clock is right twice a day

It can not only eat polysterene, but more importantly break it down.

Many animals eat plastic, including humans, and that’s not helpful without the ability to break it down.

Telling your contacts not to use Google nor Meta/Facebook. If everyone you email use gmail, then Google has all your emails.

The crisis require global action, and it sounds like COP is the only forum in which all countries take part in.

The last two COPs looks like dark jokes indeed, given their hosts. Public pressure is needed to improve the situation. But we shouldn’t give up on COPs unless there’s a better forum ready to take its place.

regular folks like you and me can jump into a boat-sized electric pod and just fly anywhere on a whim

It’s probably going to be significantly more expensive than regular taxis, which aren’t cheap.

Why not both?

If it fitsssss, I sssit.

It’s anecdotal for sure. Polls, even with a large margin of error, would be more reliable inputs to try to make any kind of conclusion.

The article is indeed underwelming.

I expected to read about plans to reduce CO2 emissions by recycling cement, or replacing limestone with alternative materials. But they’re planning to keep using highly polluting processes, and to try to capture pollution at the output.

Even so, we shouldn’t accept it as a norm

It’s a fair question. There’s precedent where malware is embedded in PDFs.

There’s the environmental impact: these ultra-fast planes burn through massive amounts of fuel, releasing far more emissions than regular aircraft

Hypersonic flights are a way to get us to a NON-inhabitable earth faster than ever before.

The title is innacurate, or a least confusing.

At first I thought this was about a factory in Germany, but it’s about a factory in Ukraine:

Arms factories inside Ukraine run by German defense contractor Rheinmetall

His optimism for Britain to rejoin the bloc is not matched by Jean-Claude Juncker, another former European Commission chief, who in July suggested it would take “a century or two”.

Somewhere between 15 years and two centuries is a good guess.

It would be fair to compare browsers without adding extensions, with default settings.

This would show which browser have the best security and privacy out of the box. Also, the comparison would be practically impossible otherwise.

Most people use defaults, and I suspect a large portion of users install no extension, unless maybe if a tech-savy relative adds an adblocker.

Is Russia starting to lack cannon fodder?

This is why these people ask, among other things, to strictly limit access to adults.

LLM are good with language and can be very convincing characters, especially to children and teenagers, who don’t fully understand how these things work, and who are more vulnerable emotionally.
