As they should be. US/NATO expansion is an existential threat to Russia. CIA even more brazenly embraced would divide and conquer Russia through splitting it into warring provinces. US has no intention of improving humanity/world if it reduces subjugation to the empire.

one of the largest offset projects in Kariba, Zimbabwe, suggested that the amount reaching communities was 6%, at most.
and by "communities", they mean the "forest owner". Perhaps that is more capital to buy harvesting machinery. But in general this is an extra monetization/financialization scheme that doesn't affect actual carbon reduction. This is not money that goes towards transitioning energy systems and reducing emissions.
A carbon tax and dividend scheme can properly compensate maintained forests that don't burn. Instead of financializing corporate PR schemes.
10gwh is last report I have of CA utility battery storage.
And in 20 years, the climate change migration period will start in full.
It already has. Syrian instability started with droughts. The worse of it, is that war will always be a higher priority to oil interests and their captured governments than cooperating on human sustainability.
Seems credible that there is no threat to ROK. OP is suggesting a tiny role for ROK being discussed anyway.
NK has a bigger army, and sure to receive support from neighbours. US has logistical issues in providing support. DPRK blowing up bridges does mean not seeking to use them for their own invasion, so on that point, you are right.
After WW2, the US were Japan's proxies in the "temporary" division of South Korea, and then against the Democratic result that elected a North Korean as leader of all Korea. Colonized ever since.
There were national guard snipers deployed to, I think, an Indiana University protest.
While every comment here seems to scream "end patents", arm has less patent bs than other tech (rounded corners) meant to sue/prevent use. Arm works hard on developing and improving architecture and designs to offer licenses at a compelling price. Qualcomm paying as much as other licensees should be preferable to Qualcomm than bankruptcy.
Their justification for tariffs on Chinese cars was that they were uncompetitively cheap due to subsidies.
This is mostly a lie. EU placed smaller/fairer tariffs based on those subsidy allegations, but in US, all politicians are devoted to oil oligarchy profits. 100% EV tariffs and 50% solar tariffs, 25% battery and ebike tariffs are all about protecting oil, instead of small domestic solar industry. Global warming is a lower priority than war, or making sure existing and new oligarchs have plenty of profits to fund politicians with.
the cheapest battery chemistry, used in most affordable EVs, uses no nickel or cobalt. "Race"/premium EVs still want to use that type of battery, though
The right price for a carbon tax is $300/ton ($3/gallon gasoline/diesel). Tax revenue paid as dividend to residents. By far, the cheapest way to avoid paying taxes on energy is cheap renewables. But if costs of capture/sequestration are lower than $300/ton, then FF companies investing in these, lowers their taxes, and does not prevent more renewables in addition to this. They are independent industries with independent skills.
CO2 levels are likely to overshoot even with 100% energy transition by 2040.
