China has been quite consistent on climate policy. Every year since 2000, CO2 output has gone up. The exception is the period from 2014 to 2016 when emissions actually went down (why?). Of course, China has also been quite consistent in increasing coal production (with some exceptions).
Maps (key/value data types) existed back then, but were not widely used. Now they are.
Wealth taxes have been tried in various countries. The track record is poor. They have been repealed.
First we had the Russiagate hoax, now we have the Epsteingate hoax. You never learn. What hoax comes next?
The are roughly 500,000 people in college sports. Supposedly, 1% of the US population is trans. Have 5,000 women accused Trump of rape? Of course, the answer is no.
Good point
The structure of computer programs has not changed since the 1980s. IF/THEN/ELSE logic existed back then and is still pervasively used. Some thing are new. Objects existed back then, but were not widely used. Now they are. Interpreted languages (and variables than can change type). Now they are.
As always, you are wrong. Since 2000, US CO2 emissions have fallen by 20%. By contrast, China's CO2 emissions have more than tripled. Did I mention that China produces far more CO2 than the US. The "Statistical Review of World Energy" is the best data source.
More schemes for making energy storage even less economically feasible Think of oil, gas, and coal as concentrated solar power (they are). Even Uranium comes from a star that predates the sun.
The US is 'only' 40+ times larger than the UK. Did I mention that housing is drastically cheaper in the US? Cars are the key reason.
Ha,Ha,Ha The car companies have prevented CA from building it's HSR. In real life, the wounds are self-inflicted.
Unlike cars, trains go everywhere. So convenient.
Just since 2000, China has more than tripled CO2 output. Check the "Statistical Review of World Energy Data 2024" for more details.
China 'only' produced 11,172.8 million tons of CO2 in 2024. Given China's population and use of coal, that's not surprising. Did I mention that China accounts for 31.5% of the world total. Did I mention that China's CO2 output rose from 23 to 24?
You are assuming that the fuel that heats the sand is free (or so it appears). This is probably incorrect. The economics of storage systems are driven by the price gap for peak demand and the price at demand troughs. For the type of energy produced from hot sand, the price gap is low or nonexistent.
There was no Biotech in California before Bush. Genetech is just a myth. The myth started in 1976.
Which is why China produced 4.7 billion tons of coal last year. Did I mention that China accounts for roughly half of world coal production?
Germany is a world leader in renewable energy. Utility rates are many time higher than the USA.
There is “good” racism (politely called DEI) and “bad” racism (the SC decision in the SFFA case). A well-known racist once argued that people should be judged by “the content of their character”. He was a very bad racist and a very bad man.
So we should disbelieve cops and Federal judges, but trust the FBI. Got it.
Trump has enforced the border. That's a good thing. Trump has worked against the racism known as DEI. That's a good thing. Trump has kicked males out of female sports. That's a good thing. So many good things. So little time.
In Finland, 100 MWh of electricity is worth just €23,300. The battery cost €2.5 M to build. We can not have a green future until we abolish math. Math is the enemy! Abolish math now!
Technically, no. As a practical matter, yes. Pumped storage would make a dam, a real battery. Most dams don't include pumped storage. However, as a practical matter, dams do work as peak shaving facilities. In other words, the water is used to run turbines during demand peaks.
"A criminal by whose standards". The standard (in this case) is Federal law. Illegal aliens are a cradle-to-grave burden on Americans. He is just one.
Because of an administrative error on the part of the administration (which admits as much), he was deported to El Salvador rather than some other country
He freely admits that he entered the US illegally back in 2012. That is Federal crime. More specifically that this is violation of 8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien.
In accordance with Federal law and various Federal judicial rulings he will be deported to some other country (other than El Salvador). His case was heard no few than 3 times back in 2019.
A Federal judge found the accusations to be credible. Perhaps you missed that. Quote "Regardless, the determination that the Respondent is a gang member appears to be trustworthy and is supported by other evidence in the record".
Tell it to the Federal judge. The Federal judge main the determination that KAG is a member of MS-13. However, that is just icing on the cake. He was a criminal, deportable alien in any and all cases.
I did read the document where his own lawyer admits that he is deportable alien. Did you miss that document? Need a link?
I seem to see British Flags. What about you?
As always, you are wrong. Let me quote from the "The Migration Observatory" "However, it is unclear how big a role this played in their decision-making. In practice, few people were returned under Dublin when the UK was still a member – an average of 560 a year between 2008 and 2020."

Bad language. Would detract from your argument. If you had one.
The working class (that you disdain) helps to pay for "bombers on benefits"
How brave, he wants the UK to take the poison, rather than Greece. I suggest deportation to Greece as a solution.
You (like most folks) don't know what "withhold of removal" means. Let me quote "Withholding of removal, in contrast to asylum, confers only the right not to be deported to a particular country rather than the right to remain in the U.S. INS v. Aguirre-A guirre, 526 U.S. 415 (1999). "
A Federal judge found the accusations to be credible. Perhaps you missed that. Quote "the fact that a "past, proven, and reliable source of information" verified the Respondent's gang membership, rank, and gang name is sufficient to support that the Respondent is a gang member...".
A Federal judge found the accusations to be credible. Perhaps you missed that. Quote "Regardless, the determination that the Respondent is a gang member appears to be trustworthy and is supported by other evidence in the record".
Wikipedia has an article on this. Quote "Factors in the vote included sovereignty, immigration, the economy and anti-establishment politics, amongst various other influences". Other sources agree.
In one of the links his own lawyer admits that he is a deportable alien. The exact words are "At a Master Calendar Hearing the Respondent, through counsel, admitted the factual allegations contained in the NTA and conceded removability as charged. "

In real life, small boat crossings were a major factor in the Brexit vote
The 'dictionary' (you may have heard of it) defines deportation as "the action of deporting a foreigner from a country". KAG had three hearings back in 2019. He was found to be a member of MS-13. Need links to hearings?
The Shingles vaccine reduces the likelihood of Alzheimer's. It (the vaccine) does not reduce it to zero (or near zero). The vaccine is highly recommended for other reasons. For example, I got the vaccine years ago.
KAG had 3 hearings before Federal judges in 2019. He lost. He was free to leave the US but did not. Now he is being deported. Did I mention that a Federal judge found him to be a member of MS-13?
Deportation is a quite reasonable response to illegal entry / illegal residence in the U.S. Hearings and meetings are easy ways to catch illegals.
I think the people of Rotherham and Telford might not agree with you. I wonder why? Did I mention that the people of Rotherham voted overwhelmingly for Brexit (67.8%)?
What am I 'instigating'? I think the word you were looking for is 'agitator'.
A useful point is that China lives in a "bad" neighborhood with many hostile neighbors. By contrast, the US lives in a "good" neighborhood with either friendly or weak neighbors (or fish). This is hardly a new point. Bismarck made this point more than 100 years ago.
China is a rising power in the world, no matter what. Trump can't change that. The Democrats can't change that. Japan and then Mao kept China poor and backwards for a long time. That era is over. A useful aggregate statistic is that China produces twice as much electricity as the US.
We live in an era where oil is quite important. Around 1/3 of the world's energy comes from oil. The US is a bit above average in using oil (more so in natural gas). China is below average in using oil. China has relatively little natural gas.
It unclear how much Japan (or more relevantly China) would benefit from using their own
However, their are "problems". China's government opposes reserve currency status for their currency. China does not appear to have the deep financial markets the US has. In addition, China is not a democracy. Some folks argue that the world will not accept a reserve currency issued by such a state.
China's currency is not the reserve currency of the world and may or may not be the reserve currency of the world in the future. Based on GDP and international trade, China is highly qualified.
No one (including institutions) is ever compelled to buy debt. However, many countries (the UK , Japan, Switzerland, etc.) find buyers for their debt even though their currencies are not the reserve currency.
You don’t know what “withholding of removal” actually means. Let me quote “Withholding of removal, in contrast to asylum, confers only the right not to be deported to a particular country rather than the right to remain in the U.S. INS v. Aguirre-Aguirre, 526 U.S. 415 (1999).”
Xinis's rulings has a considerable record of being overturned by higher courts (including the SCOTUS). Need links to ruling against her? Earlier she tried to hijack the foreign policy of the US and the SCOTUS said NO.
You wrote "Thats the reason we can afford to go TRILLIONS of dollars into debt without flinching"
Deportations follow illegal acts, such as entering the US illegally (KAG entered the US illegally back in 2012). I think entering the US illegally is something wrong. The law agrees with me. Under the law, illegal entry is a criminal act.
"Bomber on Benefits" is an old UK headline. Time for the UK to get out of the "asylum" business.
I think the people of Rotherham and Telford might have an opinion on this issue. I wonder why?
So true. One minor (possibly major) caveat is that India may (or may not) be more important than China after 2050.
In real life (as opposed to your fantasy world) China increased its coal production from 1.384 billion tonnes in 2000 to 4.710 billion tonnes in 2023. In real life, China is building new coal-fired power plants and opening new coal mines.
In 2024, China got 92.16 exajoules of energy from coal vs. 9.02 exajoules from non-hydro renewables. The source is the Energy Institute. Did I mention that oil (in China) dwarfs renewables?
The book ("This Time is Different') is very dull and very important
The dollar is a reserve and transaction currency. A common (if incorrect) belief is that reserve currency status is needed for borrowing. This wrong. The UK, Sweden, the Euro area, Japan, Switzerland, etc. borrow in their own currencies. See the book by Eichengreen.
That's a stupid lie. Mail flows freely from "Japan, France, Germany Denmark & several other countries". The only restrictions are on parcels (packages) over a certain value.
Federal judges (you may have heard of them) have found that KAG is/was a member of MS-13. His own lawyer admitted deportability. He entered the US illegally in 2012 (a crime). He had 3 hearings back in 2019. Federal judges rejected his claims. Need links?
Nigel Farage is willing to do what other PMs have failed at. Stop the boats.

What the Gap ad and the American Eagle ad have in common is the use of cute, young, women to sell something. Basically, the Gap is another version of the American Eagle ad. Perhaps, biology has something to do with it.
You should speak nicely about the person who may be the next PM of the UK
I know that it would be a PITA to tell the truth. But mail from Japan to US has not been restricted in any way. Only 'taxable' mail (i.e. packages) has been affected.
I seem to see the words "Civil penalties under this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any criminal or other civil penalties that may be imposed" in the Federal law. Do you see those words?
Under existing Federal law, illegal residence is a civil offense. Illegal entry is both a criminal and civil offense. I seem to see the words 'In the US, illegal entry is both a civil and criminal offense'. What does 'both' mean to you? Something related to 'both' perhaps?

You might try something called the 'dictionary' (you may have heard of it) for the definition of 'both'. Hint, you won't like it.

Illegal residence in the U.S. "is a civil offense". Illegal entry (KAG) is both a civil and criminal offense. The penalties section makes that quite clear. "First Offense: Fines, imprisonment for up to six months, or both. Subsequent Offenses: Fines, imprisonment for up to two years, or both..."
I guess you missed the part where the Federal law actually says "Civil penalties under this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any criminal or other civil penalties that may be imposed." I guess.
Quotes from Google "In the US, illegal entry is both a civil and criminal offense" and "While 8 U.S.C. § 1325 makes illegal entry a criminal offense, the underlying immigration violation (being in the US without authorization) is a civil offense." I seem to see the words "criminal offense".

Easy, try storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The Federal law (8 U.S.C. § 1325) makes illegal entry a criminal offence. KAG violated the criminal laws of the U.S.
The Federal judge rather specifically denied his asylum claim. The hearing was back in 2019. Do you need the link?
What part of 'illegal alien' don't you understand?
KAG asked that he not be sent back to El Salvador. His choice is being followed.
The penalty (one of them) for violating 8 U.S. Code § 1325 is prison. That makes it a criminal offence. The Cornell website lists the criminal penalties.
"The tolerable cannot tolerate the intolerable" What language is that? Not English.
KAG entered the US illegally in 2012. That is a criminal offense. Do you need links to where his own lawyers admitted that he was a deportable alien?
Bad language. It would detract from you argument, if you had one.
Is that the best you can do? Probably is.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Let me quote from the Cornell Law School. "(a)Improper time... of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts... who (1)... shall, for... imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both... I seem to see a reference to "prison".
Illegal residence in the US is a civil offense. The penalty is deportation. Illegal entry (KAG) into the US is a criminal offence. Check out 8 U.S.C. § 1325.
Back in 2019, KAG had 3 hearings before Federal judges. He lost them all. His own lawyer admitted he was a deportable alien. Need the links?
Illegal entry (KAG) into the US is a crime under Federal law. What part of criminal don't you understand?
