We eat a pretty normal diet.

Nah, stop bullshitting. We (Americans) eat a ton of meat. We’re like #2 in the world, and definitely the top for big countries (population). There are just smaller rich countries near us, but not China, India, etc.

We especially love the high greenhouse gas meats (beef).

Itâ(TM)s just maliciousness at this point because for fucks sake, 90% of all it has to do is charge or transmit data.

I donâ(TM)t care if it can charge at the fastest rate or transmit data at the fastest rate. It should fall back on some slower rate and while inconvenient it wouldnâ(TM)t be as bad as the absolute nothing that goes now.

Why I canâ(TM)t plug-in an Apple lightning cable that works on an iPhone 8 or 10 but doesnâ(TM)t work on the current iPhone at all is beyond me. Or a myriad of USB-C devices where the cables wonâ(TM)t work in between devices.

Fuck ALL these manufacturers.

I have no problems with the title, as I had better results with SOME alternative medicines than I had with now traditional pharmaceutical-based treatments.

As a former hardliner skeptic (of the James Randi variety), itâ(TM)s too easy to fall into our own version of Dogma.

Unfortunately, the alt scenes attracts more than its fair share of quacks by its fundamental nature, so it wouldnâ(TM)t surprise me if the journal is junk status.

They pointed to BOE in the Arctic as the same as adding 25 years of emissions (trillion tons CO2)

I hate to think what the Antarctic ocean (note: not the Antarctic itself, but the ocean), which is far closer to the equator and much more sunlight throughout the year will do as an additional emissions equivalent.

Iâ(TM)m guessing about 75 years equivalent warming if it goes ice free in the winter. 3 trillion tons CO2.

And itâ(TM)s not an all or nothing feedback loop. Last year it was almost 2,000,000 km lower than normal, and thatâ(TM)s normally the ice closest the crater meaning the most sunlight, meaning the most energy absorbed.

Electricity is typically only 20% of a country's energy needs, which also range from transportation to agricultural.

It's nowhere near accurate to say these countries have run on 100% renewable energy. Electricity, perhaps. But not energy.

It only serves to give us an extremely distorted view on how easily solved the energy equation can be with renewables.
