Point is that it is CO2 caused.

The so called "natural causes" are fluctuations in earth orbit, earth precession etc.

I said fluctuations because the simple minds do not get that it is a completely clockwork precise change of about a dozen effects. Except for the end of the last ice age, as it is assumed (actually kind of proven) that there were several meteor impacts on the Greenland ice shield.

Just as a side note: the end of the last ice agedid not take more than 100 years, okay, perhaps 450 years :P

That is why basically every culture on the planet has its flood myths - because there were floods all over the places for hundreds of years.

Correct. And with 10 billion, and probably 8 or more adult: they together can do a lot.
As simple as changing to LED light, or changing the setting of the fridge in winter, or simply closing the window or shading it, or setting the AC at night 1 or 2 degrees higher ... and so on. Walking to the grocery ... taking the bicycle instead of the car ... taking the train instead of flying.

Fun fact: Frankfurt to Paris by plane takes longer than taking the train ... considering the fact of on boarding, security check and that in both cities the air port is outside of the center town.

Not going to happen.

They are using "AI" as in artificial neural networks (ANN) to run their cars.

Hence there is no single requirement the car is supposed to follow, no issue tracker ticket, no line of code, no test, no review, no confirmation.

Hence: it does not formally fulfil any requirement to be allowed on a European street.

All European self driving cars: use standard algorithms, build on top of a specc, implemented and tested and reviewed - with *millions* of miles of save travel under supervision.

Well, they are marked leader in document management. (Open Text) Since the dot com crash.

They bought some German companies just before that, stupid me sold my Open Text shares right after wards. (https://startupintros.com/orgs/ixos-software-ag-opentext)

IXOS was heavy involved with NeXT and Apple, using WebObjects as development platform, when people laughed about it. I guess Apple marketed it bad, so I guess 90% of the /. readers here do not even know what it is :P

That is not "the real question" as it is completely irrelevant.

Data goes back about 300 years ... British (and likely other nations), regularly measured ocean temperatures all over their Commonwealth.

Actually easy to google ... next time I suggest to ask the question on Facebook, then you get mor hearts, and smiles and sarcastic comments.

Coding in C is not complicated.

So, nobody knows how to code in C anymore This is a stupid sentence. Perhaps by one who never programmed anything.

However why would anyone use a low level language if he can use a high level one, which makes him more productive, and potentially reduces defect rates?

Imagine writing an App for a smartphone in C, when you can use Swift, Dart or Java (and its derivates like Kotlin): that would not make any sense at all.
