in short: The reason why Earth's oceans have been on a record-hot streak, according to the article, is due to a combination of factors, with the main culprit being the growing energy imbalance on Earth. This imbalance is driven by the increased trapping of heat by greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, which leads to more energy being absorbed by the planet than is being released back into space. This has been exacerbated since 2010, when the disparity between absorbed and released energy has doubled, causing the oceans to warm at an accelerating rate.

Additionally, there are other contributing factors, including changes in the reflectivity of the planet. For example, the reduction in reflective aerosols, partly due to pollution control measures like those targeting shipping fuel emissions, has resulted in less sunlight being reflected back into space, allowing more heat to be absorbed by the ocean.

Together, these factors have led to the record-breaking ocean temperatures, which have had severe consequences, such as coral bleaching, stronger hurricanes, and shifts in weather patterns.

The children in cages at the border from the first time come to mind.

Cheapest energy in europe is in Scandinavia. Spain is cheap though, that is correct.

i remember that for me the only issue was which instance to join, just because i didn't understand instances. Could you see other instances, do you have to create a username on each, Is you username automatically on all of them. Can every instance see your posts, etc... I don't blame some people for being scared to switch to something new after spending a big part of their life somewhere that they got used to and build a "community".

Right? Has a lot of "LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!!" vibes.

People understand this, they are just saying that there was a choice between having a vote for the same, or voting for trump. And between those two chosing not for the same means voting for trump, even by not voting.

If they end up worse afterwards, don't complain. That one day of much needed work hopefully pays for the years that come afterwards.

Same!! :). My kids grew up without commercials or news. We've never missed any of them. On the contrary. When they are over at friends, if the tv is on, they get annoyed with all the interruptions and just don't want to watch any.

If you ask chatgtp to write something it puts it in quotes. They probably didn't even want to spend enough time to select within the quotes when they did the copy paste.
