When the author writes: "Even if face recognition can match a face with 99% accuracy, the sheer amount of faces available in police databases makes false positives inevitable. (The…

Government? Most of these camera owners weren't government.

AIS devices are mandatory for all ships of 300tonnes+, meaning the data is open and can be monitored by anyone!

You aren't addressing the arguments at all here. With the error bars that black6 suggests, we cannot possibly infer anything of meaning over long periods of time.

This answer is more flippant than you can imagine. #3 Is the worst - if we have learnt anything in the past century, it is that our attempts at behavioural changes rarely work[i], …

If the ground is sinking rather than the sea rising, the impact will be pretty similar!

That is very interesting! how do they know that a difference in a satellite measurement is not due to slippage in its orbit?

What sort of collaborators are you looking for? What data + assets do you have to work with?

Great ideas - you should build a start-up!

Well done, keep it going!

Which is caused by?

Do we have evidence as to what is causing the insane rise in OD deaths?

Without defining what "Progress" and "Good" are, the whole concept that there is some sort of "Progress" is meaningless. If you can define those terms, you can maybe start to study…

if the distances between circles approaching another circle is more-or-less the width of the ball, the other balls will not affect it much. + The additional perturbations make the …

It seems that [1] is referring to roads though? Rail maintenance is far more expensive.

Nice find, I didn't see this before! I think the conversation should be left up so this can all be found, though.

Thanks a lot, this has been a most helpful reply!

Yes, but the evidence is required for this claim: "Yet trains are far less emitting than aircraft"

Certainly not. Responsibility is a very complex issue, especially if you devolve it to the users, rather than keeping it in the hands of the managers/operators. But even if we assu…

There is a difference between decision making and calculations of change. I am certainly not arguing that decisions shouldn't be made responsibly. I am merely trying to point out t…

Good point, but once again - the crossing of thresholds is the major change, rather than the individual changes between thresholds.

In transport, we have learnt over the past century to not use aggregate models, as they do not provide the same detail and results as disaggregate models[p.18 Modelling Transport 4…

No, I'm arguing that the calculations for emission per person are simplistic.
