i'm sure the answer is complicated so dont bother

It's just layman's terminology for six-sigma or whatever cutoff they're using. "Sigma" representing standard deviation from the mean, so more than one Sigma being increasingly vanishingly small likelihoods

It's weird that there's a whole (bad) section of Twitter that's decided that he's a super trans rights activist at the same time that Labour have decided to poo poo their pants on any commitment to trans rights too.

Almost as if the homophobes are mad and larger Kieth did some tactical bus throwing.

it's the old great scheme of "if we just water down trans right a little bit more all the terfs will get on side". they have repeatedly said they aren't transphobic and have reasonable concerns so this will go fine.

The US army is probably one of the few organisations in the world that actually has the resources to do something about it.

On some level they must realise that their forever war against brown people has to wind down eventually, and they'd probably be able to sleep better if they switched to 'forever climate maintenence.' But then they're very much in the 'but I don't want to cure cancer, I want to turn people into dinosaurs' camp.

There's probably a way of getting them to do it, if you could pitch it as ongoing contracts to PMCs to maintain the infrastructure.

Or just promise them an extra [number that can only be expressed via complex graphs] trillion a year once they do solve it. We'd have a worldwide network of 'cloud lazers' by next tuesday.

The US military uses more oil than any other institution in the world, so they could also combat climate change by just not doing anything, taking a break, having a beer, throwing a ball around. That would be massively popular with most of the personnel, but the MIC would hate it.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

Just get the US Military to build a large structure in the middle of the Ocean to help regulate the climate. We can call it an Atlantic Accelerator.

Then the Military can just station troops on the Platform to guard it from agents of corporations, terrorists and Syndicates.

All they have to do is bomb all the coal power plants and oil refineries in non-US countries and climate change is solved right.

Statistics, but if those statistics are valid enough to say that with confidence is another matter.

Either way, antarctic sea ice extent dropping alarmingly is concerning, but any changes will look amplified by the fact total sea ice volume is alot more static in Antarctica than the Arctic.

Not one article on Rhodes itself or what's going to happen in terms of relief or dealing with the fires, but all the UK rags have to play the sob stories of all these entitled cunts who are alive and not having their home burnt to the ground.

"Ms Wales, who runs a PR and communications agency, flew to Rhodes on a BA flight on Saturday morning with her husband and children, aged nine and 13, unaware of the wildfires that were spreading through the Greek island."

These fires started over a week ago now. You'd think you'd pay attention to the place you're going and what's happening there, but who am I kidding, Brits are loving morons.

In fairness, if your holidays isn't covered by ATOL, you might not be able to get a full refund if you cancel pre-emptively.
So I can see a situation where you might just take your chances.


Although, I'm not sure I'd suggest that as a good idea if you've got 2 kids.
