Fire that consumes hydrocarbon fuels and oxygen liberates CO2. So yeah. Gasoline, diesel, natural gas, wood chips, all hydrocarbon fuels. NO SUCH THING as ‘green’ wood burning.

I think NYT is correct in this sense: I haven’t heard Harris herself say much about ‘climate change’ let alone ‘global warming’.
We all get that. Candidates tend to stay away from talking about stuff that makes people feel bad because it sticks to them. But I’ve not heard her even address expanding renewables as rapidly as possible, or even heat pumps. No doubt that’s the advice she’s getting. One reason is that the cars we’re driving are a major source of CO2. Nobody’s touching that elephant.
This is the ongoing story of Microsoft since it started.
I was in the tunnel, not the steam pipes running through the tunnel.
I have a browser extension for that. When I open a page and a ‘subscribe’ popup hides the text, I click on that button, and it shows me the URL it’s going to block, and I click OK. The next time I get tricked into going to that page, it tells me it’s blocked.
The steam tunnel system under that big midwestern university. Once in, it led underneath most every building on the campus. There are many other mysteries hidden in the underground -everywhere-.
Wow. I can’t believe it took me so long to learn about that. And no tour needed. Interesting, thanks!
A geofence is an imaginary boundary around a location. If police get a ‘geofence warrant’, they can request a list of all phone#'s (and so their owners) that were in that area for a particular period of time. The court ruled this is too invasive for innocent people in that area.
That is one of the drawbacks of not having to carry a dictionary around … ever again!
It wasn’t that long ago that the ‘It Gets Better’ movement showed up. (Dan Savage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcVyvg2Qlo )
It’s still out there! (More info here, e.g.: https://itgetsbetter.org/

Legislators this year already are trying to tackle the rising costs of electricity.
Considering CA’s widespread use of the now-cheapest sources of electricity, it’s more than ironic that costs to consumers are rising. Somebody needs to take a -very close- look at that.
Another question for CA: are data centers required to be carbon-neutral or else ? Will they thriving on the savings created by people driving EVs? Will their demands result in higher prices for everyone?
Hmmm. Where can a person learn the facts about this … ‘agenda’ ?
For very long-time, high-probability safety, the surface of the Earth is constantly being re-shaped. Whole mountains can disappear in a few million years. Floods, earthquakes, ice, weather alone.
Because you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time … and they’ve been at it for a very long time.
Svalbard’s a ‘seed vault’ only, there must be something for extinct animal species. Another question I thought of: if stored on the moon, who among the finders will know enough to even know that they’re looking at? let alone to make purposeful use of it?
Looks like a lousy bet.
"Hydrogen can be produced by several means. Most hydrogen produced today is gray hydrogen, made from natural gas through steam methane reforming (SMR). This process accounted for 1.8% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. Low-carbon hydrogen, which is made using SMR with carbon capture and storage (blue hydrogen), or through electrolysis of water using renewable power (green hydrogen), accounted for less than 1% of production. “Virtually all of the 100 million tonnes[5] of hydrogen produced each year is used in oil refining (43% in 2021) and industry (57%)”

Once again, the impact of subsidized industries is accidentally underestimated.
“We made a promise we had no idea how we were going to keep. But it seemed like good PR at the time. And people kept flying in our planes.”
Go ahead and send me ads, and I’ll just block your site … never go there except when someone tries to trick me into it, and then my SITE-BLOCKER will refuse for me. Our now and future business IS OVER.
“But why don’t you just trust us?” Because I’ve been online for 30 years and it’s been downhill ever since.
Take the thorn out of the lion’s paw, and don’t charge him $10,000.
