Intelligence is an evolutionary dead-end. It's like if the pistol shrimp evolved a literal pistol and just started dominating the entire planet.
And, as all animals seem to behave: If there's resources available, the population grows.

Yup. Dreame L40 Ultra AE here. It just works, and it's ~$500.
You just gotta make sure to get one with a front facing camera, so they can do *real* obstacle avoidance (unlike roborock...).

Ehh.. try Dreame. I specifically got rid of my roborock (that didn't have a front facing camera) because it got stuck everywhere and was *Not* set-and-forget.
Dreame L40 Ultra AE (phew...) is ~$500, and is very much set-and-forget. It mops too.
Though I have had it lose one of it's mopping pads.

Hey, I have a question: Out of the global warming caused by GHGs and Albedo change (in the last ~250 years), how much is each responsible for in percentage? Roughly.
"GHGs 60% Albedo 40%"
"GHGs 60% Albedo 40%"

It's ironic that all the supposedly "good" things about religion always seem to have some caveat about "killing non-believers, and you get to feel good about it".

Here's my "crazy" fear: What if all of these methane emissions that warmed the planet in bursts over thousands of years *before* 1750, were to all melt, decay and emit at virtually the same time?
Has anyone even run (recent) calculations on what that might look like? Because I smell doom.

State Department to deny visas to fact checkers and others, citing 'censorship'
The order is focused on applicants for H-1B visas, which are frequently used by tech companies and is part of a campaign by the Trump administration against online content moderation.

If climate science becomes popular in media again, don't forget to explain about what various temperatures mean in real life. I'd say anything above 3C is just "The death of civilization", with billions and billions dead.

Too rich and you have a tendency to just abandon your humanity. Trump, Bezos, Zuck, Musk etc. are all symptoms of this cause.
The oligarchs in Russia/China also thought themselves "So smart and handsome they can do anything"... and suddenly there's ground coming at them at tremendous speed.

Oh it's technically much worse if you account for other greenhouse gases. I'd say we're probably at ~520-550 ppm and rising.
The reason some graphs don't use those metrics is basically because of tradition. That's it. It takes time to change things.

Attacking highly regarded people like Hansen and Andersen for being "too doomer" just puts you in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry if you ask me. Stop the f__ing in-fighting, Mann.

If air had the same air pressure as at sea level, all the way up to space, the atmosphere would be a mere 8km tall.
It's... nothing, really. We just happened to spawn on a planet where it was ridiculously easy for an intelligent species to overshoot.
