It means that statistically, of the climate was constant, the temperatures we have now would be as probable as having 6°C.

C'est vrai, le gaz le plus utilisé actuellement, le R410 a un potentiel de réchauffement de 2088 fois celui du CO2. Cependant son interdiction devrait bientôt entrer en vigueur pour être remplacé par des gaz plus écologiques.
Du coup en faisant les choses intelligemment, càd en incitant les gens à fait tourner les clims la journée pendant le pic de production solaire et pas la nuit la consommation électrique deviens presque un non-sujet

I've seen something about the voodoo dolls saying that they were not use for curses but rather the opposite.
They were basically a physical medical file used by folk doctor.
Folk doctors would make dolls for their regular patients and add needles to symbolize their illness and keep track of it.

This is specifically why France developed their nuclear arsenal under De Gaulle.
De Gaulle believed that the Americans could not be trusted to defend Europe, he was afraid that if the Russians would attack Europe with nuclear weapons the US would not defend us.

I like to mix mowed and unmowed parts of my garden.
It keeps the biodiversity but does not look abandoned.

This is to protect our children of course.
As usual, so anyone who is against this law can be depicted as someone who is supporting pedopornography.

There is absolutely no green way to extract all the material needed to build a datacenter.
There is plenty of green ways to raise cattle, however with these ways you can't feed everyone beef at almost every meals.

The designation "Parmigiano Reggiano" is a protected designation of origin (PDO) in the European Union.
It means that to be able to call a cheese "Parmigiano Reggiano" a producer needs to follow a strict set of rules on how to produce the cheese, how to mature it, how the cows are being fed and it has to be manufactured in a specific area in Italy.
So if someone is making cheese without following the rules and sell it as Parmigiano it would be counterfeit cheese. Just like someone selling lemonade but calling it "Sprite".

I was listening a podcast about cancer patient in France.
One talk was about the fact that the surgeon was planning on removing the breast tumor AND do the reconstruction directly after.
Except that by doing that the operation would have cost more than what the national social security covers, so it meant a big premium for the patient.
The "big" premium they were taking about was 600€ which is obviously outrageous. To make a cancer patient spend this much money on a life saving procedure.

Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you?
Ejaculation lower the risk of prostate cancer, so masturbation should probably be medically advised to all men.
