A burning house will transfer *much* more heat than a stove. There are thousands of kinds of steel, many quality steels do well in a house fire. Others become a problem like the 14 gauge lightweight cold formed elements used in many steel-framed houses. They fail and a house made with those will collapse even faster than all-wood house!

And that's folks is why extrapolating from a little book learning to try to engineer reality without experiment or experience leads to failure. A typical house fire burns at over a thousand degrees F for about half an hour. Not only will your water be gone, so will your plastic or steel aluminum bucket.

Why settle for just electromagnetic spectrum; i want scintillating materials to see cosmic rays and alphas, betas, gammas and neutrons in different colors.

no I don't have the same model of crystal ball as you, how about some winning lottery numbers?

Absolute pH of the ocean is what brings about (alleged) extinction event, not rate

Depends, what if we achieve D-He3 or muon catalyzed D-D fusion?

Did you know the LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) for methane in air is only 4%? Maybe your way of reasoning wouldn't quite be the best for miners

The pH of the ocean at that time went to about 7.3, the amount of carbon it would take to even go to 8.0 from present levels is staggering and would take centuries even if we went to pure coal power. This nonsense doom prediction will not happen.

probably primative tech (for fighting and fleeing) and communication, so hundreds or over a thousand could be killed

look it up, they were for both methane and CO detection. They were used in UK until 1987!

They made vector supercomputers but we have those on a chip now; so of course aggregating the products of chip and board vendors is the norm

Not a matter of coal mining, but rather some fields make a huge of amount of methane so collection facilities are located there. This region is the largest producing commercial coalbed methane one in the nation. Thus no mystery and no surprise, it's like someone suddenly decided they needed funding for a study and are harping on something I knew 30+ years ago.

Coal bed methane, that is in the cracks and pores of coals, is old, old and well known thing. That's why the "canary in the coal mine", why miners die in explosions, etc. *yawn*

Esperanto was a failure; we already had a logical latinate language, Latin
