Would he have crashed if the police hadn't given chase?

These are chambers miles underground that, in addition to oil, often contained natural gas... for millions of years.

I suspect the hope is to separate the hydrogen from the CO2, remove the hydrogen, and leave the CO2 sequestered underground.

No but this is a better expenditure of those Fortnite billions than buying up exclusivity, IMO.

I don't think they were inviting you specifically to refute anything, but you really ought to be asking them.

By knowing more about the various views on information in the scientific/mathematical discourse. There's been a lot of discussion and work on defining/quantifying information. The general idea holds that ordered structures will have usable data that can be pulled from them, as opposed to a state of total entropy where there is no distinction between structural states, all is uniform and useless.

Well, we shouldn't be using the volume of snow you shoveled to determine annual snowfall levels, first of all...

Additionally, most people don't know that weather services around the world release nearly a thousand balloons at once, twice a day, every day. That's a lot of potential airborne trash right there.

"If you ignore the thing that's novel, why, there's nothing novel about this!"

I literally just directly engaged with a point you made, but okay.

> We could start with addressing climate change on earth

The two aren't anywhere close to mutually exclusive. What a weird retort.

Flip side: Why not? What else are we going to do with the wild environment-shaping technological powers we possess?

Them's a couple more questions to add to your meditations.

Almost anywhere can be made hospitable with the proper infrastructure and equipment, tho. Why leave the savanna and gradually migrate to the inhospitable Arctic? Heck, why even climb down from the trees and step out onto the savanna to begin with?
