I think this is total BS. These guys are trying to blame the plastics industry for all kinds of diseases so they can file massive class action lawsuits to drive the plastics industry out of business. Just like the talcum powder and cancer suits. Not sure who is financing these studies but it's basically find an industry that is profitable and use lawfair to extract as much money out of it as you can using gullible juries and bogus science. What I want to know is how does plastic get into the body? I have not read a single study that used radioactive labeled plastic fed to animals that absorbed the plastic. Plastic molecules are huge and just could not be absorbed by the gut. Unless you can show that happens all this is bogus.

Look at https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthebreakthrough.org%2Fis... Table 1 and figure 4 This clearly shows that the number of deaths related to low temperatures dwarfs those related to high temperature. World Wide 9.2 times as many people die due to cold as do those who die from heat. As extreme cold temps are moderated deaths due to extreme cold should drop. Because it is the biggest cause of temperature related deaths the effect should be a net positive. Not saying less deaths from extreme heat just that the overall deaths from extreme temperatures will go down. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasa.gov%2Fcenters-a.... NASA says the earth is greening due toC02 Fertilization. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.climate.gov%2Fteachi.... NOAA Climate .gov says humans can adapt to warming. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.energy.gov%2Fne%2Fenha... US Department of Energy says Nuclear power plants are safe.

Net positive. Fewer people die of heat than die of cold. Longer growing season. Higher crop yields. More greening around the world. Bring on the CO2. Bring on the heat. Get ready to build some sea walls and erosion controls over the next hundred years. Quit building flimsy homes in flood and storm surge prone areas. We can handle the heat. We will be fine. We need the energy to live abundant lives. Build big batteries to store solar. Take down those ugly windmills. Build safe Nuclear power plants and Drill Baby Drill for that sweet abundant oil.

Nobody gets a CT scan for "fun". People get CT scans because they have a medical issue. The scan is to try and find out what the issue is. Sometimes, often times its cancer. The cancer was there before the scan and may not even be detected by the scan. CT scans do not work well to find cancer but due to medical insurance requirements you have to get a CT scan before an MRI scan which is better at finding cancer. MRI scans are more expensive so they do them after CT scans. Another crappy scare headline for crappy science.

Not surprising that this would happen considering the frustration job seekers have with the abundance of fake job listings. Some of them got tired of the grind of sending in resumes and being skilled and out of work decided to fight fire with fire so to speak. Maybe this will lead to a better result with truth and honesty at the center of the system. But i'm not holding my breath. As they say to error is human but to really screw things up you need a computer ..... Er um an AI system.

The internet does not exist without the stuff holding and sending and receiving the data. Just like people do not exist without their bodies. That means you have to include the mass of all the servers, power stations, computers, satellites, data exchanges, cables, fiber optics, etc that it exists on. So it is actually massive not the mass of a strawberry.

Only problem is it requires more energy to cause fusion to happen than it releases. Unless of course you are doing it in a thermonuclear device. IE using a fission reaction to cause the fusion reaction to happen. That idea is very old see project orion. Better idea is the nuclear salt water rocket concept for extreme speed or maybe a rocket that uses a nuclear reactor to generate power for an ion propulsion system. Chemical rockets would be used for lift off to orbit and landing. Use Thorium for fuel because it is abundant and easy to refine so refueling would be easy. Use the power generation system to power life support and produce rocket fuel at destination. System would have a lot of waste heat that could be useful for the cold temperatures of deep space and even mars.

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not Mexico. What's Mexico? It is nor lake, nor river, nor sea, nor ocean, nor any other body of water. O, be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a gulf By any other name would be as wet; So Gulf of Mexico would, were it not Gulf of Mexico call'd, Retain that dear perfection which it owes Without that title. Gulf of Mexico, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take America. Take thee at thy word: Call me but yours, and I'll be new baptized; Henceforth I never will be Gulf of Mexico.

What is needed is a solar panel with integrated battery and inverter and changes to regulations that encourage DIY installation. That would reduce installation costs which is the biggest obstacle to going solar. Panels are cheap on the order of 50 cents per watt. If we could get an integrated battery inverter solar panel for about the same cost that drops the payback to just a few years. That way people could add panels one at a time and not have to cough up so much in a one time lump sum to get a benefit.

That price is outrageous. Musk believes a whole autonomous robot will only cost about $20,000. It's just one arm. It should be more like $4,000. There is a lot of room to knock some cost out of that thing. Of course there are people out there that will pay $800 for a chunk of plastic shaped like glasses. And $8,000 for tiny audio systems that fit in your ear. Companies have no shame in charging outrageous prices for anything medical.

The first thing is that you must prosecute people for stealing. Identifying thieves can do nothing if there is no punishment. Stealing must become dishonorable and socially unacceptable again. First step is to get rid of welfare entitlements. When people have to work for what they have they understand the pain theft causes.

So literally no punishment for sending 1000's of false takedown notices. An injunction to not do something you should already not do seems totally useless. I'm sure that will really scare them into complying. They did not spend a cent on legal fees have no monetary damages and probably don't even exist as real people. I guess this was just a legal maneuver by Google to avoid some kind of charge of negligence against it for not vetting the takedowns before enacting them. These charges being brought by people harmed by the false takedowns.

Ammonia is liquid at 150 psi and 75 degrees f. So it is not that hard to store and carry compared to Hydrogen. Hydrogen requires a lot of volume, very high pressure or cryogenic temperatures to store. It leaks through nearly everything. Hydrogen makes metal brittle. Shipping is not a high tech industry like rocketery but rocket companies have problems handling hydrogen. Leaks cause scrubs all the time. It would be better to build systems that use solar or nuclear power to take CO2 out of the air and convert it to diesel fuel than use either hydrogen of ammonia. I still believe it will be easier and less costly to adapt to climate change than eliminate all carbon based fuels. There are a lot of other people who believe this too.Read Apocalypse Never or listen to Climate Discussion Nexis for a more balanced view of climate issues.

Ammonia is extremely toxic and under about 150 psi at room temperature. Imagine a fully fueled ship collision exiting a port near a major city. Releasing a giant cloud of toxic gas to spread over the city. We are talking a disaster like Bopaul India in 1984. Thousands die. No thanks.

What is unethical is the fear mongering of the climate change zealotes. We need energy to live and as fossil energy is becoming more difficult and expensive to use we are switching to new energy forms. Those forms are initially expensive but as people work on them the cost comes down. We need to make sure those living in energy poor countries can catch up to the energy rich west. That may mean burning coal and oil and gas for a while yet. But the switch to electric power from solar and nuclear is underway and will happen. The world is safer, cleaner, most healthy it has ever been. If you don't think so you are not looking at the actual data. People live longer have higher standards of living and are safer than ever before. It is the news media that blow minor things all out of proportion. Yes bad things happen but not that often. It was much worse in the past. We just never knew about it because the information was not available until years later if at all. Just look at the headlines. Any bad event is there from anywhere in the world. They have to report on the bad thing happening in Gaza and Ukraine because nothing bad is happening anywhere else. We have some problems but we can handle them. Get a dose of reality go listen to John Robson Climate Discussion Nexus or read Apocalypse Never by by Michael Shellenberger or Super Abundance by Marian L. Tupy or watch some Ted Talks by Steven Pinker and take the edge off that climate change fear.
