I agree. The key symbiosis between coral and microalgae depends on fundamental thermodynamic equilibria of the carbonate chemistry of seawater - which are highly sensitive to temperature and atmospheric CO2, in very predictable ways. When living in coral becomes unprofitable for the algae, they leave. My instinct, from some experience with this system, is that introducing new species won’t do better than nature, nobody can beat thermodynamics. We have to reduce the CO2.

Wonder whether the popularity of the president will follow a similar pattern as in France, trying similar idea … ?

Mais - j’essais comprendre n’étant pas français … - si les ministres auraient été remplacés par leurs suppléants, le résultat aurait été ± la même, n’est-ce pas ?

Note that Knesset has 120 seats (not obvious from the article). (also, of course, a large fraction of people between the river and the sea don’t get to vote for any of its seats)

Point de vue d’un visiteur d’un pays voisin en planifiant voyages en famille, la problème c’est que c’est si complexe, rechercher d’options différentes pour chaque région.

I see that says ‘has to be local only, not federated’ (same issue also discussed on github).
‘Local only’ suggests to me front-end, i.e. info stored by browser. In that case people who are often switching devices would have to re-organise on each one, which could be tedious.
So isn’t there something in between local and federated - i.e. saved by the instance as user-settings, but not pushed to other instances?
Maybe there could be some manual copying mechanism, so a user who organises a big set of communities could share with others. (This reminds me of mastodon ‘lists’ and various ways of organising and transferring them).

Nearly 200 upthumbs, more ?!
But the discussion explores broader and narrow variants, need to coalesce.

La droite a utilisé des accusations similaires pour démoniser Jeremy Corbyn en angleterre pour l’élection de 2019. Bien que je ne suis aucun fan de lui - qui a fait des nombreux erreurs sur d’autres sujets, quand même il connaissait bien la situation en Palestine. Ce n’est pa la vérité ou l’équilibre qui compte pour la droite - si une recette fonctionne pour gagner, ils la répètent.

“…at a rate of roughly 0.05 percent per day … would take a very long time” … but by my quick calculation 0.9995^3650 is 84% per decade, which is not long. Almost instantaneous on a geological timescale - and think how much the world changed when fungi learned how to digest lignin in wood - ending the era of coal-forming swamps.

I’m using Alexandrite, find it good

Hmm, publishing that will really help those Crimean beach hotels get customers for this summer…

This is an unprecedented situation - if a guy who’s in prison (speaking via AI) and whose party is not allowed on electoral lists can nevertheless win an election , think which other countries might also be inspired by this … ! (note - although I’m not so keen on Khan (populist), am even less keen on military rule). I suppose now it depends which way PPP and MQM will turn ?

Indeed, as I mentioned in my main comment

Some of the ‘mandates’ are far too easily implemented.

At least that one requires a ‘parliament majority’ - otoh big groups are not in that parliament at all… Actually ‘ungrowth’ in the north may just happen anyway, slowly, for demographic reasons.
Maybe this type of game could provide a structure to help people to debate factors, if could vary (packages of) assumptions… ?
As it is, might encourage some to wait for a revolution rather than engaging current options.

Well you can ‘win’ leaving current nuclear fraction as is, the old stuff keeps working without any disaster (missing factor ??).
Otoh, nuclear fusion has been tomorrow’s breakthrough for half a century …

Thanks, I’m having a look.
Some elements quite sophisticated, seems a good use for wasm (although I prefer scala.js for an interactive model).
Use of Hector makes sense, but seems emissions drop more negative than I can get from my model, maybe it lacks some feedbacks, or has some double-counting of policy-impacts?
Are developers still active in this project - discussion of issues mostly a year or more ago ?

Sure, but this is also a real game we need to win (well, maybe not <1C in that timeframe) , and we only get one chance to play. This example helps people learn, but there are things to adjust.
Another (I didn’t mention above) is that construction (including new energy, ‘green’ cities etc.) takes massive time, energy, materials - it’s not clear that’s sufficiently taken into account, and likewise not by real “socialist” planners.

You can get those ‘accelerationists’ within the coalition by funding lots of research, just don’t expect it all to work, don’t even need to apply it. Actually I think that ‘bias’ is realistic. Problem is rather political groups that are missing - religious for example.

OK, so I tried this, able to win on the second round. :-)
First time you risk to do some things too early, others you must do early, but I won’t spoil the challenge by giving details.
Good emphasis on land-use limitations.

Concept is nicer than ‘fate of the world’ which was rather similar (and even fotw told me their idea was partly inspired by an idea on my website about 23 years ago). Both this and fotw based on ‘cards’, while prefer to adjust levers gradually, and see graphs move in real-time.
(btw going back even further, does anybody remember ‘lincity’ )?

Some things confusing - e.g. you adjust percentages not totals, but totals change, which hits limits in not-obvious ways. No mention of space-heating challenge eg heat-pumps (suggests made in tropics?), no modal-shift in transport (except inside cities). I’d like to see whether the numbers reflect current emissions of China, and Arabia (I doubt it, doesn’t fit the ‘south is good’ narrative). Overall I suspect that the calculations are too optimistic, but can’t say more without detailed plots of changes over time, or a view of the engine code.

But biggest unrealities:

• We don’t have such a scenario - there is no global planner - “god games” are too easy concept.
• The fraction of contrarians is larger (than the 3 groups I couldn’t satisfy in this game), maybe increasing (?).
• Some of the ‘mandates’ are far too easily implemented.

I ponder how to design a game which is more realistic in these respects.
Having said that, I think the ‘magic card’ has some merits, if everybody would play, maybe that helps tip the balance.

Saw same band (±) perform this in Norwich almost 30 yrs later, classic. As students we used to add ‘actions’ to dramatise it.

To make the most of the wind they’d need a flexible route adapting to the weather forecast (about 5 days in advance), a deal with rail companies to complete journeys along coasts would help make that doable.
Indeed the fences along railways are an issue, but likewise for big roads, eco-bridges with trees can help (there are examples eg in netherlands iirc).
An interplanetary drone to harvest gas for gentle wind-driven balloons back on earth, interesting combination of tech… but first priority I guess would be to keep the He on our planet (avoid leaks -> lost due to escape velocity).
