Mainly because people who are anti-immigrant moan about “unbearable” rates of immigration at immigration rates far below 1% of the existing population and have prejudices like the ones in your comment about immigrants being criminals or replacing the local culture or language even at those comparatively low numbers.
That is mainly because the fear of migration tends to sound completely bat shit crazy when put into words, at least at the levels that aren’t related to climate change making large parts of Earth’s warm and dry regions uninhabitable.
That title seems phrased wrong, are you sure you don’t mean something like
True purpose of program claiming to fight climate change in developing nations uncovered: funneling billions of dollars back to rich countries
The concept of sovereign states is generally considered to be established in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. Of course the US did not exist at the time but it was a concept established as International Law before it was founded. Of course most treaties of this kind weren’t signed by nearly the same percentage of nations they are today.
Probably closer to 130 years starting with their invasion of Hawaii and then involvement in coups in South America and the Middle East.
Yeah, ideally a way that doesn’t leak out of pretty much anything like hydrogen does.
There’s almost no resale value.
That is not an EV thing, that is a new, rapidly developing technology thing.
Do you think no one involved in any of those projects has realised that it’s not possible to store hydrogen?
You say that as if it is completely ridiculous but have you seen how many companies jumped onto impractical technologies like the hyperloop or self-driving cars or even replacing half their workforce with LLM-based AIs?
Counterpoint, most of the world does not have access to “middle of nowhere” regions with lots of sunlight, that is just Australia and a few places near major deserts.
Tesla isn’t really a major car company in the transitional sense since they didn’t exist at all as a pre-EV car company.
It is not so much that the court says it is suspected of terrorism as that the agency responsible for monitoring that says so and the AfD tried to use the court to get rid of that label and failed.
but we have an oxygen atmosphere not a chlorine one, so it’s gonna be oxygen.
Could also be fluorine but there are other good reasons not to use anything involving that as a fuel
“It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.” ― John Drury Clark, Ignition!: An informal history of liquid rocket propellants
I think that bit was about Chlorine Trifluoride but I might be misremembering.
The article could be written better if the whole point is about the currencies that were used. Too many figures in US$ without mentioning the actual currency.
Not that it is not worrying that peaceful protesters are arrested but but 2 months are just roughly 4 times two weeks while Hong Kong’s population (7.35 million) is just 1/45th of the US population (333 million).
While it sometimes certainly feels as if that is news to some people “we should respect his privacy” isn’t really world news. Nor would it be if the article mentioned his actual sexual orientation.
Just a few numbers to put that number into perspective. I am not trying to make any particular point with this post, just trying to get a feeling for how many children/people are affected by this.
Sudan has a population of about 46.87 million people.
One death every two hours would be 4380 deaths a year or about 1 death in 10700 people in the total population.
According to UNICEF
In 2022, the annual number of under-five deaths dropped to 4.9 million.
Of the 4.9 million under-five deaths in 2022, 2.3 million occurred during the first month of life and 2.6 million children died between the ages of 1 and 59 months. The lives of an additional 2.1 million children, adolescents and youth ages 5–24 were also cut tragically short that year. Between 2000 and 2022, the world lost 221 million children, adolescents and youth. That’s nearly the entire population of Nigeria, the sixth-largest country by population. Children younger than 5 comprised 162 million of these lives lost, almost equal to the population of Bangladesh, the world’s eighth-most-populous country. Neonatal deaths accounted for 72 million of those under-five deaths, while 91 million deaths occurred among children aged 1–59 months. And nearly 53 million stillbirths took place between 2000 and 2021 – deaths that are often missed by policymakers and in programme actions and data collection.
The world population in 2022 was 7.951 billion people.
The 4.9 million death figure would be 1 death in 1622 people in the total population, the 2.3 million would be 1 death in 3456 people in the total population, 2.6 million would be 1 in 3058 and 2.1 million would be 1 in 3786.
Presumably the child every two hours is an excess death figure above the deaths that occur under normal circumstances and certainly the numbers will be much higher when those mass starvation occurs.
From the article
Seven million people face the prospect of mass starvation by June.
This would be 1 in 6.7 people in the entire population of the country.
BILD is also one of the most widely circulated German media outlets, that doesn’t mean that their content isn’t full of nonsense. Circulation says nothing about bias or lack thereof or even quality of journalism.
Technically I suppose walking is a zero wheel vehicle and public transport has less than one wheel per passenger too.
Do you want the anti-vax crowd to boycott milk?
Or, you know, not that crazy after all if germ can survive that process.
