Reply to [OC] A visualization of how many people are at risk given an amount of sea level rise by DouweOsinga

Water constantly and evenly rising without any other nasty effects over years/centuries is a massive oversimplification. Far more people will be at risk all through the way to that, how many people would survive in your area if just one of the days of all those years gets to, I don't know, 60ºC? Even 40-50ºC with very high humidity will do the work. And massive rains, or hurricanes or other extreme weather events. No matter how safe are you from sea rise, is the whole pack what put your life at risk.

Reply to comment by factorialfun in [OC] Birth months of FIFA World Cup players. The top three are January, February and March, possibly due to the "Relative age effect" by desfirsit

That's because in sub 20 or sub 18 etc, when you are more grown you have more advantage, so it's more usual to have the bests (usually more grown, like January February and 1st months of the year) the continue playing till being professional

Reply to Which Populations Feel Their Country is on the Wrong Track by RakAwasXxX

Not surprised to be on the top 5 here. Spain has a very bad perception of itself, and the 2008 recession hit so hard here that we pretty much never recovered from it. The country suffers a lot from being too dependant on tourism as well, and covid hit us like a truck. Now, with the Ukraine war and the everstopping rise of prices, we seem to be in the verge of recession again, with absolutely no signs of a speedy recovery.

Ireland got its golden age with IT and we should try to get it with renewable energy, since we have a lot of empty space, tons of sunlight and have already a sizable eolic infrastructure, but our politicians' complete lack of awareness will probably bust it. Then foreign investors will take the opportunity and we'll keep being poor, yay!

Reply to comment by pluslinus in Average goals scored per game played at the World Cups — there used to be more goals in the past; since 1962 no World Cup averaged at more than 3 goals per game [OC] by ikashnitsky

It's very good - I've only read the first edition that stops around 2008 with Spallettis striker less Roma side, so can't comment on the newer editions and how they handle the rise of tiki taka etc, but the historic stuff is excellent
