CO2 emissions of the world excluding China have declined. Chinas emissions did fall in Q2 of this year.

Seriously China has economic trouble, which slows down energy demand growth. The US has run the massive inflation reduction act, which seems to be working somewhat well and Europe was hit hard by the energy crisis reducing emissions in the EU through lower consumption and faster green roll out and Russia as its fossil fuel exports fall. On top of that green technologies like solar panels, wind trubines, electric vehicles, heat pumps and so forth become cheaper all the time. It is certainly possible that we can achieve peak emissions soon.

In the US it starts in 1985, which is about a decade after the Vietnam war, which obviously hit men a lot worse then women.

For Germany it was a similar thing. Conscription to fight in the potential war within Germany. So a decent chance of having to fight and die.

5.6%of GNP is well above the 2% inflation rate and France economy is also not growing fast at forecasted 0.7%.

The highway runs alongside rhe Madeira river. Due to draught the river is no longer nacigable, hence the highway gets paved.

And that is exactly the point. In a housing cooperative the owner is the homeowners association of which all tenents are members. If done right that means cheap rents and decent upkeep, as soon as the debts are paid off.

Is a housing cooperative a landlord?

You are probably looking for a small medieval town. Adding aparment blocks together makes transport cheaper. Hence you can built a walkable neighbourhood with good public transport. You then have green space outside the settlement. However that can be reached quickly in smaller settlements.

Sound proof walls are a thing, as is owning a single apartment. It works pretty well.

Also this idea of owning is just bs. Most of the money goes to a bank in form of a mortgage intrest. Once you paid that off, the children leave the house and you are stuck with a property designed for a larger family. Much better to move to a smaller space at that point, which is cheaper and easier to maintain. That is not even talking about the option of moving to a better job or something similar. Selling and buying a house can easily cost a years worth of rent.

Decomodified housing, like housing cooperatives solve a lot of the renting problems.

He is still alive.

Btw Tom Lehrer put all his songs in the creative commons.

Work from home, walk, use transit, a wheelchair or the lots of other options of green transport. There are a lot of different solutions for that and just because North America can not built a somewhat working public transport system, does not mean it is impossible. Seriously if cities lack decent government run public transport they usually have share taxis for the service.

So please do not pretend it is impossible. It is just that North America is in the situation of most everybody being able to afford a car and government run public transport being horrible.

Also just because it is not on a picture does not mean it does not exist. Most people can ride a bicycle and especially e-bikes.

No

We failed to prevent climate change, but it can get a lot worse. It is a bit like claiming we should stop build houses, because we have not prevented homelessness.

This one is actully much worse then it might appear at first glance. The housing “near” the stadium is mostly mid density. Also there is a light rail line running half a mile away from the stadium, but due to a bit of cliffs and any sort of attempt to do it, you need to walk nearly two miles to the station, due to a lack of proper pedestrian paths.

So this would be easy to fix and btw there is a park next to it. a few pedestrian bridges and wideing some sidewalks.

Bell was initially strong in science and music theory. The reason he was able to actually end up with the first practical telephone, was that he then also learned electronics. You really need both to develop a ttelephone.

Bell then did a lot of public shows to promote the telephone. It was certainly usefull that Bell worked as a teacher earlier.

That is actually extremely common for big leaps forward. A lot of those just combine knowledge from different domains in a new way.

Amsterdam is about the same size as Denver and has a at least low car city center. Works pretty well.Venice down town might be one of the most beautiful in the world and is pretty much completly car free. It sort of works, besides the tourists that is.

Because this is what changed this election. The progressive voter base of the Democrats has made clear that they are willing to not vote, instead of voting for Biden. The Democrats were happy that the Republicans moved right, as they could occupy the center and win most elections. This forces them to actually move further left to appease the progressive no longer base and win those votes.

Well done. This is actually a good way of moving the country in the left direction. However they also have to show, that they are willing to vote, if the Democrats do what they want or at least move towards them.

Hydrogen can be stored in underground caverns and that can be relatively easily scaled to TWh. Electrolysis and fuel cell can get you 70% or so of your electricity back. So it is less efficient then batteries. However there might be a place for hydrogen as seasonal storage. Also the storage makes sense as quite a few processes use hydrogen anyway.

So there is a use case, but right now we mostly should just add renewables and batteries. We are nowhere close to a solar/wind grid, which does actually need seasonal storage. Also grid size helps a lot and there are options such as burning waste.
