I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about. They are linking a PUBLICLY broadcast SSID to a GPS location. They AREN'T letting people in to view your homemade porn collection.
What they are recording is the equivalent of your house number. You seem to think that they are opening up your home made porn stash to the world. They are simply logging where the AP "AnonymousCoward" is located then using that location to triangulate where you are when you use your phone.
Getting warmer means rising sea levels so less total available land, and more areas that are uninhabitable because they are too hot. It also means more hurricanes and floods of the sort we are seeing a lot of recently.
Hate to tell you this, but not even the climate scientists are saying that recent hurricanes/floods are due to global warming.
Not to mention the fact that we are pretty much at all time lows for hurricanes during recorded history.
Sucks when reality doesn't back up your beautifully formed scare story.
well, since it says in TFA:
Professor Aizenberg added: "The lubricating film is locked in place so it does not mix with liquids placed on the surface. By carefully selecting the lubricant we impregnate the pores with, it means we can repel a broad spectrum of liquids.
it shouldn't be an issue.
regardless, it will have to pass FDA testing prior to being used as food packaging.

OCEAN ACIDIFICATION
... is a terrible misnomer. If anything it is dealkylation, but the ocean swings through larger pH changes over the course of the day than are predicted with the worse case doom and gloom fairy tales.
If you can get past the paywall, I suggest you have a look at this:

4) Climate has been hotter and colder. Yes, it was colder during the ice age, and hotter 4 billion years ago. Would you have liked to live in either of those time periods? The climate is changing. It is scientific fact that we have a hand in it. If it changes too much, many, many people will die. We should therefore attempt to prevent it from changing. This is really straightforward stuff.
It was also hotter during the medieval warm period around 1000 years ago. I wouldn't have wanted to live then, because I enjoy my indoor plumbing, but more to the point, civilization boomed during that time period, so I'm willing to bet that the people of that time were pretty happy that the climate was warmer rather than cold like it was during the little ice age when civilizations suffered.
The scientific fact that we have is that the climate has ALWAYS changed. It is pure insanity to think that we should, or can, prevent it from changing.
Quick, paint everyone with healthy skepticism with the false accusation that they are on the pay roll of some fossil fuel company, because there is no possible way that people trying model the entire earth and all its climate systems could possibly be in error.
I mean, after all, every single one of their predictions have come true right? RIGHT???
Awwwwww, how cute, the AC is offended.
The use of a
warmer air absorbs and carries more water.
I suggest that you do some reading on partial pressures.
Is it just me, or have climate "scientists" completely missed that whole recalibrate step when observations haven't met their hypotheses? Instead they just assume that they are still right, but there is some poor excuse like "missing heat" and continue merrily on their way.
ocean acidification is a brutal misnomer. If anything it is dealkylation. The oceans are plenty basic, and will be for quite some time. They can also survive far wider swings in pH over the course of a single day than has been predicted by even the worst fearmongering stories, and come out unscathed.
Well, I have no idea where along the way you are screwing things up, but it works fine and dandy for me.
