I find that German law idiotic. Of course it costs the landlord something to hire a broker, even if the renter is supposed to pay the fee. It still eats into the overall budget of …

In what sense? Because global warming happens faster than expected? Maybe - but such local heat events are not a good way to determine that.

Especially if you can pick just the forecasts that are not already wrong, and forget about the rest. According to this article in nature, there is rather a tendency to use worst ca…

I guess no matter what happens, it is always due to climate change. In general I think local records are to be expected, because of variance. Maybe they become more frequent becaus…

If you point out recent coldness records, you will be lectured about the difference between weather and climate. I think the real issue may be the human delusion that things stayin…

True, as I said, nevertheless they seem to have a huge tradition and catalogue of non-predatory games.

Gender studies, critical race theory, climate change, environmental pollution, economics/socialism, corona, Trump... With Trump (or maybe just the rise of social media in general) …

Nintendo is Japanese, and I don't think they heavily rely on such mechanics. They may have such aspects in their games for mobile phones, though.

I haven't changed the goal posts, criteria were clearly stated higher up. If Jacobabad gets abandoned, perhaps we can talk. Although in "Collapse" you can read about places that we…

"Started happening" - nothing severe has happened yet, though. And coastal regions often have other issues than rising sea levels. For example land sinking because too much water h…

Those are also still here (with exception of the heat wave victims, which seem out of place in an affluent country. I would suspect failure of politics/health system. But heat wave…

No, I mean direct "mechanical" impact, agriculture, building, deforestation and so on.

We can not continue listening to the alarmists. There is an infinite number of things that can go wrong. Yet here we still are.

Regions becoming uninhabitable, sea levels rising, mass extinctions. As of now it is difficult to find any significant damage that is not actually the result of direct human misman…

"They still had hope back then. Reading that hope today hurts." - why? Nothing severe has happened yet. Article probably cherry picks the "best" predictions, too.

Neither heat waves nor forest fires are a new thing.
