Actually 10 000 years ago the sea levels was 120m lower then today. That was during the last ice age.

Since then sea levels has risen 120 m and if all other land ice smelts we are talking about 80 m more than today.

So we have to see how high it becomes. But luckily thats alot of ice so it will take many years for it to melt.

You want real data, so you are sure you get the type of data that is actually used.

Not some made up data, that will not give the error that may occur in some edge cases.

You want to make sure that you do not get regression and something that worked before not work any more - using the test that gave the actual problem is always good to add as a test to make sure regression never happens.

Comment Re:Nuclear output goes down 8% in bad weather... (Score 1) 249

In north of Europe there is also a lot of water power plants Norway and Sweden has a large mountains and big rivers. In Sweden it snows in the winter. That snow melts during the summer and fill the dams. During winter the dams reserves are lowered and are used to generate electric power. In Sweden the reserves can hold about 1/5 of the electricity generated yearly in Sweden.

That's one really huge battery.

Nuclear power needs fuel.

Solar power and wind power don't use fuel.
They are also a lot cheaper to produce then Nuclear power.

So today 60% of the new power of today is renewable power like solar and wind power.
Sadly most of the other is fossil power like from fracking, coal, oil and gas.
