Millions? 7 billion more like.
I would say that the bbq is already on and the ceiling is going black, and then the alarm is installed.
Formula 1 switched to semi-automatic in the 1980s. The technology has only improved over the last 40 years. If fast is what you want, driving a manual is insanity.
Although we do still need to keep an open mind. Most approaches take years to roll out. For example, Solar wasn't very efficient in its infancy, but there have been massive improvements since then. Nobody was talking about e-bikes replacing many car journeys; they might not have got anywhere if we hadn't already had big investments in battery and motor technology thanks to e-cars.
I hear what you're saying, but I think the real problem is the policy makers, who are without doubt choosing to use the least scary predictions, and pushing even those targets back when they fail to achieve them.
Have they?
"In this case, their very specific prediction was that warming of between 1.5°C and 4.5°C would accompany a doubling of atmospheric CO₂" https://theconversation.com/40-years-ago-scientists-predicted-climate-change-and-hey-they-were-right-120502
Isn't the problem more that people have been reading that and assuming that it means 3°, not 'possibly 4.5°' ?
That said, the study there seems to assume that the effects are roughly linear, ie. that there are no tipping points.
What efficient means: switching from ecologically expensive foods like beef to lower impact vegetarian diets.
What efficient does not mean: using vast quantities of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.
He has those weird psychological tricks, like standing funny, having a long tie, and the handshake thing. Getting people to say "hello, how are you" to him is probably one of those, and he's upset that she sidestepped it.
It would be the maximum possible sentence for assault.
You explicitly mentioned the Sentinelese. Exactly how would you go about this infrequent contact and observation with them?
In any case, let's assume that hunting is exclusively performed by males in all of those peoples. How much would that change the statistic and the overall conclusion? 79% would be 72%
