Looks like this is semifinalists

My friend’s theory was that lagging outcomes (ex: tails having come up 20 times for 40 heads) would result in these outcomes having a higher probability than the theoretical probability (50% for heads and tails) of showing up, as they would surely eventually catch up. I tought the probability remained 50% regardless.

You know your can correct the y axis to say start from 1, not zero

This chart is not beautiful

actually yeah, price of fuel went up, but demand for gas is inelastic so demand wasn't affected too much - but prices have started going back down, an actual sign of falling demand, not increasing supply. so we shall see.

Alternatives are on the horizon. they need massive investment in scale-up and innovation.

Diesel may be hydrogen-paired to almost eliminate emissions. Electric cars may be scaled up if we can get the balance and equity of mining and recycling lithium and cobalt right...

I'm a PhD student. Although my field is not literature, this still means that I also read (and write!) a lot during my "full-time day job".

Like I responded to another comment, my reading rhythm varies significantly from one day to the other, I may read 20 or 200 pages in a day, and it depends heavily on the book itself as well. The motivation just comes from the pleasure I take from reading, and as a kind of "palliative" after reading more technical stuff in my work. Very few of the books that I read for pleasure are related to my field of study. Also, I'm curious about many different subjects outside my PhD, which helps in keeping it interesting.

About finding the time... That's a question I get a lot. The thing is, I don't watch much TV, I don't watch Netflix, and I don't have an Instagram or TikTok account. Instead, I use that time for reading and other things I enjoy, like reading (but also, for example, some video games). I'm not boasting at all about this, it's just a choice that I make, just like it's anyone's choice what they do with their free time.

We could stop using huge amounts of oil to create the huge amounts of food required to feed cattle that become our beef meat. And pets. Dear God, why are we buying carnivores as pets? We can do so much that would help and all we'll miss out on are cheap beef burgers. I can handle that.

carbon taxes that accelerate climate solutions - not vengeful to benefit citizens who cannot change the system except by their demand for the choices that are already out there.

Getting off fossil fuels is not going to happen because anyone chose to. It'll be because better, cheaper alternatives come along. Like with electric cars, they aren't a compromise, they're an improvement.

We might be a little way off those improvements in others areas, but they'll come. When we develop fusion or a cheap mass storage option for renewables we'll not burn gas or coal for power or heating much longer.

Could have been symmetrical 😞😞

We cut the forests down in Britain a looong time ago and have been growing more in recent years. Urbanisation in the UK has barely changed in the last fifty years, so the correlation is poor.

Of course, if you can suggest that we're taking more measurents in cities than in rural spaces than we did them you might have a point. Are we?

No, you’re just assuming what the data means then

Thanks for the video. It was interesting. The carbon and temperature correlation is quite strong. From the same video though, the Earth tilts between 22-24 degrees. 24 being when the earth is warming and has the most CO2 and 22 when it’s the coldest and least CO2. If the Earth is currently at 23.5 degrees, doesn’t that mean the earth is currently in a natural warming cycle as well? Again I’m not arguing that global warming isn’t real. I am saying this is a combination of natural and manmade processes.

You're describing Heat Islands. And it's not mutually exclusive to climate change. Just a fact that works against resiliency to climate change.

Fun fact: More trees helps combat both.

No not at all. I'll be the first to admit I haven't actually done any real research into climate change (unless you count reading reddit and listening to the news)

So genuine question, when we are talking about the world changing, is this sample size large enough? -

Also, considering the temperature during these years at its hottest (summer) gets to around 20 degrees - and coldest gets to around 0. When we say the "Average" (which is actually "Mean" in this data set) what does that mean for interpreting the data? (Obviously seeing it go from Cold-Blue to Hot-Red tries to infer how we should interpret).

Edit: To be VERY CLEAR - Humans are absolutely contributing to the climate changing - like 97% of scientists are agreed on that. (and I agree with them) but... in this post we are talking about "how much" its changed because of us... so my question is, "is this data set large enough"?

Within 100 years if business remains as usual.

Idk, I figured out what it meant immediately

I stated that we are trending down over the last 20 years. You’re the one with “wrong facts” who said we are at an all time high.

This is rhetorical right?

Edit - You're right, i don't need to down vote, but they are easily altered so i can change them if i want. Your comment just reeked of bad faith dialogue so i had to ask. But your follow up does appear to be genuine...

Mostly because they have started to increase again. My point still stands, emissions aren't being reduced, not nearly enough to have any meaningful impact on our effect of climate change.

What about your point? How can you describe people's opinions as "unscientific catastrophizing" when your opinion is based on wrong facts

Tell China to stop.

Mass hysteria due to food shortages, riots and the eventual collapse of society. I'm personally looking forward to The Purge meets Mad Max, I've got some Tories to hunt down.

Just to make it easier to understand and to step through the code

Such an efficient way of depicting the brackets, no scrolling required!

This should be the standard 👏

Only thing I would suggest is a colour key for the teams as not everyone will know other nations' badges.

It's not climate change. All the cities are way hotter than the surrounding forests because they're made from steel, glass, concrete, and asphalt, which soak up ambient heat like a sponge and slowly release it over the day. Additionally, the lack of plant life to help cool the air by respiring water brought up from underground means the temperature goes up and up and up. Not all the heat manages to escape which increases the average temperature. Repeat this process over the years and it looks like it's way hotter than it should be. Go to some national park in France and surprise! the climate history suggests no climate change is happening at all.

You can test this by sitting on some hot asphalt road and compare it to sitting in the field of grass and then comparing that to sitting in a forest. Guarantee you'll be sweating on that road in a few minutes.

In the UK, it just so happens that they cut down the majority of their forests, urbanized the place, and people just keep wanting to immigrate there. This ain't the middle of the Rockies where no one lives.
