Trees are good and general greenery too, but then you run into water issues which will be the limiting factor for a lot of stuff going forward as fresh water availability decreases and groundwater runs low.

It'll be both, even a very aggressive response will take decades for it to Stop getting hotter then at best it will not get hotter. It will be 4-5 decades at best before it gets cooler.

Methane adds some uncertainty to that though. If you were to stop using gas it might cool off after it disappears in a decade in the atmosphere.

But it will keep getting hotter in every circumstance even if we act aggressively on climate change.

Famine for ocean animals and more hurricanes in the even hotter tropics for starters.

Vegetarian is enough to get most of the benefits for environmental reasons. But it's foolish to wait until that happens, it can't wait.

No, we literally cannot safely build a glass dome that big. I do think large blimps with reflective tops could cool a city a little though.

Cooling down at night is actually a really big deal, plants and animals both use the chill night to rest from the heat. When the night stays hot then the heat really does a lot more damage to health.

There's a basic assumption that the climate of an area is fixed. We don't really have a good mechanism for adjusting the climate of an area quickly. But eventually you have to say that the weather hasn't been hotter than normal for a decade, this is just the new normal.

It started out hotter than it would be and the heatwave is at least a few degrees more severe than it would be otherwise.

There are steps needed to slow global warming and become carbon neutral. Those don't matter much if someone shows up and machine guns your town and loots it.

Spy books have taught me that the mole will be the person in charge of or who ordered the investigation.

What events? It's clear that being a nuclear state is great for preventing invasion. If you have a submarine fleet with nukes you won't be invaded.

It's about having enough that your enemy can't target them and blow them up in a surprise attack.

No. It's for radiation so you don't breathe in the radioactive dust afterwards.

They don't care that what they're doing is illegal because they are going to get away with it.

The big change will be if they can't fire as many missiles at once then they can't use the saturation technique that lets them get past AA. A bunch of missiles fired over a longer period of time are less effective.

They're heavy strategic bombers, like a full size commercial jet, they don't have a lot of them and they could use more. So yes, these were definitively used to bomb Ukraine.

They can launch the missiles from the smaller fighters too. And if they win the war and gain ground then they can build more planes and buy some from China.

Yeah but they're not doing it for free and both China and India are paying cheap rates for Russian oil. If Russia is using that oil to barter for goods then that helps them but not the Russian coffers. This war will end when Russia runs out of money and can't pay large signing bonuses anymore.
