Your logic is childish if you're not demanding the wealthy make the changes first, because everything we can do is 1) trivial by comparison since businesses make most emissions and we don't own or control those and 2) dependent on their decisions, for the exact same reason. What we can reasonably change without making ourselves destitute is almost nothing in the grand scheme. They can make huge changes while still remaining wealthier than the rest of us. Childish is accepting their demand that YOU make changes when it's THEIR decisions destroying us all. Childish is not holding the actual offenders accountable. Childish is abdicating your thought process to the status quo.

If every wealthy person on earth did the right thing, then our available actions would be more environmentally inoffensive, because the decisions of the wealthy control all of our lives.

It'd be far more intellectually honest to admit you're simping for billionaires because you admire them than to blame The People for living in the world those fucks have bought.

They're running out of prisoner conscripts, yes. They have not really tapped their main population. That's why there is still a reasonably high level of support for his war, although it surely must be waning with the recent successful attacks by Ukraine on infrastructure which must be affecting consumer prices by now. Otherwise I think your comment is accurate, but this does mean that they could throw more people at the conflict if they wanted to.

That you're asking that question is how we know WWIII hasn't started. If it had, it would already be a wider, full-fledged conflict.

That's not to say that it won't, but that this isn't a world war yet.

How many cubic meters of water does that 3.3-3.6mm represent? How much additional heat energy was stored in the ocean? Explain on what basis you imagine it's not significant.

Yes, because when you run them when it's cold you have to contend with all of the dumbfucks who think that if the globe is warming, it should mean they are never cold again.

This is a story about satellite-based jamming. It would help if you would try reading at least the summary.

I just woke up to this? Nobody said people shouldn't have to have insurance, bro. The statement was that nobody should be writing profit for private corporations into the law.

This is unknowable until we stop finding more complexity in the brain. That we keep doing that is how we how we can't make a brain replacement yet.

"New York's GDP per capita is higher than Californias, so if they were the same sized state with the same population they would outperform California."

Yeah, that is ALWAYS wrong, PERIOD, because the government is inducing profit for someone at your expense. Literally everything you are required to pay for should be provided at cost.

They don't do it when I walk into a bus

They are evil, not necessarily incompetent. They make more by shafting customers than by serving them, and they buy laws which let them do that.

A traditional UPS comes in two variants, UPS and SPS, U = uninterruptible and S = standby. But anything which can supply backup power is arguably a UPS and that includes solar power systems and the like. These days it is common for them to be grid tying. And it's now common for grid tied inverters to have a boost mode, where they will compensate for voltage sags by supplying synchronized power. Therefore the functionality is absolutely available, though what exactly the hardware is called may vary.
