What's going on?

Rayon's a different material, not carbon fibre.

Renewables are a means to an end, not the main objective. That's CO2 reduction. To that end, the relevant data is average carbon intensity. So I'd say this is a more relevant graph: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/carbon-intensity-electricity?time=latest®ion=Europe

The biggest chunk of our yearly consumption is still gas. And France's carbon intensity is much lower than ours still (one of the lowest in Europe), so any energy we're importing from them is actually lowering our CO2 average.

There's always one check in that situation. Whether it's business hours or timezone difference. And you still need to check business hours even in our current system, so might as well just simplify it (which of course isn't happening any time soon).

Both great ideas. Especially for punctuation. I've lost count of the times I've had to press spacebar upwards of 10 times trying to place a question mark quickly but missing by one.

Original release date was actually announced as 2014 originally (during the 2012 Kickstarter), iirc.

Take it from the fossil fuel subsidies.

It's not a matter of optimism, it's a matter of not repeating our parents' mistakes. Whatever the inevitability of warming, we should fight for every 0.1°C, because there's a big difference for our kids if the average is 2 or 5 or 6 degrees higher.

You can be as pessimistic as you feel the need to, as long as that doesn't stop you from acting.

Learning isn't the same as researching.

There's no such link in their comment history either.

Sure, but it's still thousands. From Cambridge dictionary:

the thousands

numbers between 1,000 and 1,000,000
