Ah thanks! So you use thin metal posts. I still use self cut wood like a caveman and whack the shit out of other things.

I actually thought this was a police tool for breaking in doors.
So according to comments it's a post driver. So far I dug holes and put my poles in. This tool seems practical for soft soil, but what do you do when living somewhere with rocky soil or with dry clay soil?
Those sea level rise projections are global. There will be local differences. I don't know what that means for Florida though.
Similar to how on land we'll probably see higher temps than the global average, just because the sea is able to absorb so much more energy.
Also recent studies may indicate that melt rates in the Antarctic are higher than previously thought.

You sure they didn't do catnip with their friends? Looks quite trippin.
Probably you are right with the latter. A cement brick house easily has 100 tons CO². And in war, whole cities get destroyed. Plus destruction of enemy energy infrastructure, like oil fields, if existant.
Kind of sad now, when I think about it. Looks like we rather destroy the enemy with us, than having somebody we don't like rise above us.
That got me interested on fuel economy. According to this webpage, a M1A2 has a gas tank size of 1907 l (505 gal) and a cruising range of 426 km (265 miles).
That would make 448 l/100km (0.52 MPG). Wow.
The site also says
A tank will need approximately 300 gallons every eight hours; this will vary depending on mission, terrain, and weather. (1364 l)
0.6 miles per gallon.
60 gallons per hour when traveling cross-country (263 l)
30+ gallons per hour while operating at a tactical ideal (136+ l)
10 gallons basic idle (45 l)
A mine plow will increase the fuel consummation rate of a tank by 25 percent
Nice idea, but in my area for example this wouldn't be a good solution. I live in a flood prone area.
Luckily there are many different solutions. What I find quite interesting are simple techs that also don't require electricity, like a heat chimney, or a air supply from underground, air-flow designs in general.
Also, with already built houses there are even simple possibilities. What I've done successfully is letting a tree grow on the south west side, now in the evenings my walls and with that the inside area is much cooler.
If Im not mistaken, Delhi's hottest month isn't in peak summer but in May and June, so now. As the climate is largly influenced by the monsoon season.
Next year also doesn't necessarily need to be worse, now going from an el niño into a la niña makes that somewhat unlikely, although regional differences will probably make some places worse, compared to this year.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but people may be already dying by the thousands. Isn't it rather difficult for a doctor to point down the reason of death to heat?
If not next year, it will get worse rather quick, that's for sure. Much, much worse.
I also thought about wet bulb and checked the humidity in Delhi, which seems to be just 7 % or so. According to wet bulb calculators that's still good, like around 23 °C wet bulb.
Interestingly the wet bulb temperature calculators that I tried only work until 50 °C, so that was what I put in.
At 50 °C you need about 35 % humidity to get to 35 °C wet bulb.
Regarding your second point: If I'm not mistaken, the hottest month in the region is around May. The temperature is influenced by monsoons, and although the sun peaks higher in summer, it is generally also more cloudy and rain cools of the surface. That's why usually temperatures peak just before rain season.
Love the "gas" label in your second picture. There was no need at all to tilt letters, but I guess it would not keep the theme of "thrown together" if it was straight text.
Also what is with all that background white in between the graphs? Is it electricity demand that didn't get meet by any means? Asking jokingly.
