France’s nuclear plants load-follow to some degree, so it’s not just fossil fuels.

Just in case you confuse him for all the other heads of state named Putin. There’s hundreds of em /s
The logical structure doesn’t hold. People don’t eat meat for profit, they eat it for preference. You can’t ask slave owners to be slightly less profit-seeking. You can ask people to tolerate small sacrifices like eating less meat.
Whatever the case, individual solutions to structural problems are not and have never worked, it’s a capitalist lie. I intentionally said “ask people to tolerate small sacrifices” instead of “make small sacrifices”. A reduction in meat consumption has to be imposed, whether at the distributor or the supplier.
The global birth rate is falling. It’s still quite above the replacement rate, but it is not as high as it used to be; it has fallen.
This comment makes no value judgement.
The most Linux response. Linux doesn’t fit your use case? Clearly your use case is wrong! /s
That is the only way the rich and powerful know how to act. Because ultimately, might makes right under capitalism.
Sentient life?
First time I’ve seen somebody acknowledge that it’s not just nation states with such capabilities. There are some huge organized crime syndicates.
Proven innocent literally is not a thing in court, that’s not how that works
Article 5 specifies that the attack itself must occur in Europe or North America.
I reality, i doubt anyone at NATO would really care about that technicality, but another user pointed out the Canadian embassy hadn’t seen use in 12 years or something like that
The partial eclipse is nothing special. Any given location gets one every few years or so.
Totality is the really neat and special thing, and it isn’t damaging to your eyes. (assuming you don’t pre-empt or overshoot the timing)
I mean, that is true when 100% blocked (totality)
Go back to Reddit and have your opinions fed to you by billion dollar corporations
I’m not arguing for or against your point. But it’s actually a difference of 48.576 kB to be pedantic
Better prediction: Biden makes a new red line but then Israel crosses it so Biden makes a new red li-
You really think Israel would do that? Just go out and lie conveniently at the same time the ICJ was handing down their preliminary ruling? pikasurprise
The Balkan wars were tough on Sweden, being so geographically close to the conflict.
the Royal museum must be getting some new “donations”
How could “we will use every weapon in our arsenal” possibly be interpreted to mean “no first use”?
Nuclear weapons would not just be used to respond to nuclear threats, if that’s your assumption.
We needed to get this shit done 10 years ago. Any delay in removing all fossil fuel emissions now is just a matter of how bad we want climate change to get, rather than preventing it. Net zero by 2050 is a fucking eternity away and is a shit goal, and all the projections that get us on track to 1.5 °C of warming have us extensively using carbon capture which is entirely unrealistic.
Existing nuclear plants in France work, they can load follow to some degree, and renewables can make up the difference with minimal energy storage. But at a certain point you have to stop investing in renewables if you have minimal energy storage and your electricity solution is working.
I am going to emphasize that last part: IF you can’t get enough energy storage, and IF your energy mix is fine, you must stop investment in renewable installations. Without enough storage, the baseload+peak paradigm works, you just have to regulate it.
