"The package is designed to keep Musk from leaving and is squarely focused on transforming Tesla into an artificial-intelligence and robotics powerhouse, the board said in a securities filing. It said Musk is the only person on the planet who can unlock Tesla's full potential."

Those arsonists


"Vancouver | Reuters -- Lightning strikes in Western Canada over the past two days soared nearly tenfold from the same time a year ago, triggered in part by a record-breaking heat wave, meteorologists said, warning of more strikes over the weekend that could further stoke forest fires fanned by high winds.

Over 710,000 lightning events were recorded in British Columbia and northwestern Alberta between 3 p.m. on Wednesday and 6 a.m. on Thursday, up from an average 8,300 from the same period over the past five years, said Chris Vagasky, a meteorologist with Vaisala, a global environmental measurements company which collects the data.

Of those events, the company said, over 112,000 were 'cloud-to-ground' lightning, while over 597,000 were 'in-cloud' pulses."

We don't hear from Russia, but if we did ...

"Arctic lightning, once rare, has increased dramatically, with some areas north of the 80th parallel recording a 70-fold rise since the early 2010s. Alaska, in particular, has seen a doubling of lightning strikes over the past decade."

And with it you have a new fire regime, defined by " pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) events - a situation in which a wildfire is so intense that it literally creates its own thunderstorm cloud. Back in the 1980s, Flannigan told me, these types of PyroCB events were exceptional. Today, he said, they are 'becoming commonplace' (with Canada's 2023 wildfire season producing 142 PyroCb events that year alone!)."

With fires not going out, smoldering all year round, just waiting for the next time. With it losing boreal forests, gaining greenhouse emissions. If that is what you want?

You won't avoid careless people, or those finding it fun starting a fire, especially not where a lot of people lives together as in a city. But they aren't the problem.


Global warming is

Even if we could put all those idiots into a jail those fires will accelerate.

But it seems you think arsonists are to blame for it

[yor_on]

You really enjoy your blame games, don't you?

Nevermind

Unconventional in some mean, well, to me at least but still a quite enjoyable read. With a nice flow to it.
