And as to 4 above, that stands on its own. Again, OCO2 shows how much China emits, which is far far more than is generally admitted since Chinese leaders are lying.
How stupid are you?
Who cares what China is saying?
We know how much CO2 they produce by simply counting their oil, coal production, cars and power plants.
Man, what a no brainer.
No idea why you try to use propaganda links like the first one, which is an _american_
China's emissions from 1850 on, exceed America's total.
Very unlikely and no one can figure which is the case as we have no data bout that, neither from China nor from the USA, so it is completely brain dead to argue about that.
Your idea who produced how much CO2 in what times are all wrong.
Especially the retarded idea that in 10 years time frame China had produced more accumulated CO2 than the USA in 150 years.
A no brainer actually when you know that China just exceeded the US production a few years ago
Ice on land is melting during summer.
That means fresh water is on top of the sea water
When it gets cold in winter that freshwater is freezing and giving the false impression there would be some mystery going on.
The sea ice we are talking about 50 years ago, was *permanent* ice.
No we have sporadic ice
The maximum was no maximum.
And most important it was not MASS but just area. And 6 month later all that "maximum" area ice melted in the summer again.
What is so hard to grasp that the problem is not melting or freezing of sea water?
The melting of ice on land is the problem, because it flows into the sea and rises its level.
That is actually a no brainer every child should grasp.
Why are you writing this nonsense about W's and O's when all the points you make are clearly wrong?
What in your opinion is OCO2 btw
The links don't tell me anything new.
Except that the UK one starts with the claim, that UK would be the best place for wind power in the world.
Which is clearly wrong. The best place is antarctica, but no one there needs so much power.
A wikipedia article claiming a certain place is the best for wind power is just: bollocks.
Especially if the most important part: "WHY is that so?" is missing
Regarding a clue, you where the one claiming Denmark would be north of UK
More or less all of Scotland is north of Denmark.
Again, for the areas directly west of Denmark, that is mainly England and Wales and the southern part of Scotland: there is no plausible reason why those parts should have more wind than Denmark.
And I guess if you had more google foo, and I more patience, we simply could find a map in the internet showing the relevant wind speed factor for the UK and Denmark
Depends on the wind turbine. Usually they are rated for quite low wind speeds. So it is easy to have them on 200% and more CF.
Question is: do you have consistent wind, that is more interesting than any CF.
Erm,
Denmark is not north of the UK
Jet streams have no influence on weather on the ground. I suggest you check what they are
Regarding wind power, I doubt that UK has anything which makes it superior to Denmark. To have good places for wind power you only need long coast lines, or high hills. Scotland surely has more "hills"
I've seen a number of large projects (tens of thousands of lines of code)
This is a contradiction in itself.
10,000 lines even multiple of them, like 90,000 lines, is by no means "a large project".
The systems I work on usually have like 10,000 classes! no one bothers to count the lines though.
the primary code editing tools used by the developers were exclusively text editors like nano and vim - there is no IDE during development.
That is their problem
Try Groovy/Scala, both have operator overloading.
I also would prefer if Java would have been more C++ like
Originally Java was supported by Apple, Steve Jobs once said he wants that Macs are "the best Java platform".
However around Java 1.5 he changed his opinion and support was always a bit behind.
Since Oracle bought Sun, Java is on Macs on par with anything else.
No idea what you are complaining about.
And I've rarely gotten multiple versions of Java working on one workstation.
Wow, did you ever consider a different career path?
Ever heard about Shell scripts? The PATH variable and the JAVA_HOME variable?
And slow, Java is slow as molasses in the depths of a winter snow storm.
That myth was not even true 15 years ago,
I am point out instances where it demand is not as controllable as you think.
And? For the rest of the population it holds
Dismissing ideas just because you know they don't work for YOU is pretty stupid.
We use cloth racks.
Because I live in an apartment and we are not allowed to have launder machines in our apartments
By what law? Rofl
Your discussion makes no sense anyway. If the washing machine is in the basement and the drier, too, why are you arguing about electricity prices and smart grids and when to wash and when not to wash if all that does not even apply to you?
