I would question the engineers behind an egg shaped train car as well.
Those are basically small self flying stealth jets. Just to give you an idea.
Storm Shadow will not be wasted on oil refineries. They are too expensive. The better target are radars of air defense sites. Those are extremely expensive as well and hard to replace. They also can not be easily targeted by cheaper long range missiles. However more of those missiles can reach deep into Russia, when air defense is in worse shape.
Honestly probably not. At least not in a big enough way, as to actually meet somewhat reasonable climate targets. However Biden actually passed some pretty decent laws and just keeping them on the book is going to help a lot. Trump already promised to remove all of them. According to an analysis of CarbonBrief just keeping Bidens laws, compared to Trump would look like this:
If Harris can be brought to pass some decent climate laws, which given her record is certainly possible, then the US might actually reach its way too low climate targets. Obviously state and municipality level changes also can improve it too. However that work has to be done by activists. With Trump there will be no pro climate policy on a federal level at all.
Actually the entire thing is surprisingly anarchist. Seeing politicians, the Cold War and so forth as mostly childish. A deep distaste of the media pretty close to the view of Chomsky. Watterson himself actually managed to not have merch, due to it cheapening the strip. He could have made a hell of a lot of money with that.
The petition also needs to go over 1million signatures. So French and Germans signatures help as well.
Why not train them in the EU? Seriously no attacks from Russian missiles and the like and the EU has proper facilities for training as well.
A few things. First of all the dolphins for the house boats need to be much taller. When you have flooding they have to be above the waterline to have the house boats not float about and so nobody rams them, which would be bad for the boat.
Amphibious public transport is not that great of a solution. Boats can be easily larger then a bus and with proper waterways, which a city would have. In terms of capacity a fairly small boat can easily carry as many passengers as a tram. They also are more efficent without wheels in water. Also you have a problem with doors and other parts which need to be opened often on a bus, since those nearly have to be under the waterline. That also is somewhat true for the ropeway. A ferry connection would be just as fast and can have the same capacity. So a ferry elevate rail interchange might be better.
Hope dissociates from the present and the future, externalizing your care into an imagined future you can not affect.
There is a difference between "wishing" and "hope". "Wishing" actually does externalize the way you can shape the future you want. "Hope" on the other hand just lays out a positive future, which you can strive for.
That "hope" in form of a vision distinct and different to neoliberalism is one of the biggest reason the left has failed so badly in the last decades. We just need a vision of the future, which is practical in the real world. Hence worker cooperatives, permaculture, renewable energy, co-housing and all those other great projects, which actually can replace neoliberalism are so important. Without those working alternatives, we are doomed to just fight the evils of neoliberalism, fascism and dictatorships forever, as we can just never set up that alternative. Obviously we also should not fool ourself into believing it will be perfect if those are gone, but it hopefully is better.
"Stop yelling, this is a museum!"
How are transport emissions not part of the EUs emissions trading scheme? ETS2 covers road transport, buildings and many small industry emitters, not covered by ETS already. The original ETS already includes air travel.
However going for 65% emissions reduction would certainly be a good move.
Probably he was thinking of something like a Twike.
