"By comparison, the number of jobs at a typical data center can be anywhere between five and 30."...

Since when would a datacentre create thousands of jobs? Might be quite a few to build, but long term, its a small amount compared to a large factory.

Never been but heard Malta fits that bill. Certainly for the history. Too hot for me.

Yes, self monitoring can work in places like large industrial installations that have the resources and know how to do it to an agreed standard. They have to demonstrate they are doing so to standard, and their data inspected. It works as it can be managed more easily. With water companies...

Well to be fair, they (Labour) spent more on regulation, and the EA used to sample sewage works, far more rivers than they do now; they campaigned to farms to control their run off, and the water quality in our rivers was better as a result of all of this. Much of this was driven by EU regs...

"With additional climate change, the number of people on the move is almost certain to rise. By how many will depend on future levels of greenhouse gas emissions, socioeconomic development trajectories (especially in low and middle income countries), and, to a lesser extent, future international...

We will see millions of people relocating due to climate change, so if you enjoy the idea of far more people coming to our shores than they do currently, then continue not caring. This is in a time frame of most people's lives, and is avoidable. Whereas an asteroid type disaster is not...

So what you're saying is, that you don't care.

30 different junctions and what they can cope with on city skylines:

Glaciers are not sea ice, until they go into the sea, which they are doing at a faster rate due to climate change. There is a lot of glacial ice to melt, so one should be concerned.

What climate change related tax do you pay?

I knew that the main drivers for sea level rise was thermal expansion of the oceans, and partly down to the ice melting, but I didn't know of a third issue (that is only a slight influence: "Global warming is causing global mean sea level to rise in two ways. First, glaciers and ice sheets...

I knew about the cycle, as this isn't the first time climate change has been discussed online (not just on this forum). Why did you put the link up when it disproves your point?

I wish I was surprised.
