I find that German law idiotic. Of course it costs the landlord something to hire a broker, even if the renter is supposed to pay the fee. It still eats into the overall budget of the renter, that could otherwise have gone to the landlord.

In what sense? Because global warming happens faster than expected? Maybe - but such local heat events are not a good way to determine that.

Especially if you can pick just the forecasts that are not already wrong, and forget about the rest. According to this article in nature, there is rather a tendency to use worst case scenarios that are no longer probable. https:/&#x2F

I guess no matter what happens, it is always due to climate change. In general I think local records are to be expected, because of variance. Maybe they become more frequent because of changing jet streams or whatever, but you can not go in

If you point out recent coldness records, you will be lectured about the difference between weather and climate. I think the real issue may be the human delusion that things staying the same is normal (perhaps because of the short life span

True, as I said, nevertheless they seem to have a huge tradition and catalogue of non-predatory games.

Nintendo is Japanese, and I don't think they heavily rely on such mechanics. They may have such aspects in their games for mobile phones, though.

On the contrary, the last couple of years (including corona) have shown how much misinformation governments and schools are willing to spread. I worry a lot about the best ways to shield my children from that.

There is an infinite number of alarmist scenarios. We can not react to all of them. The argument that it would be too late if some thing x would really happen is not very useful for decision making. For example a meteorite could hit earth a

I haven't changed the goal posts, criteria were clearly stated higher up. If Jacobabad gets abandoned, perhaps we can talk. Although in "Collapse" you can read about places that were abandoned after thousands of years in the

"Started happening" - nothing severe has happened yet, though. And coastal regions often have other issues than rising sea levels. For example land sinking because too much water has been pumped from the wells. Also human settleme

Those are also still here (with exception of the heat wave victims, which seem out of place in an affluent country. I would suspect failure of politics/health system. But heat waves have always happened).

No, I mean direct "mechanical" impact, agriculture, building, deforestation and so on.

We can not continue listening to the alarmists. There is an infinite number of things that can go wrong. Yet here we still are.

Regions becoming uninhabitable, sea levels rising, mass extinctions. As of now it is difficult to find any significant damage that is not actually the result of direct human mismanagement that they try to blame on climate change. Edit: no,

"They still had hope back then. Reading that hope today hurts." - why? Nothing severe has happened yet. Article probably cherry picks the "best" predictions, too.

Neither heat waves nor forest fires are a new thing.
