I've been using the the Live Universal Awareness Map visual news aggregator for some years now, it tends to get updated very quickly. Have in mind that oftentimes the veracity of the news attributed is questionable though (the app just links the source to the visual map, you have to scrutinize...
Depending on where you put the minimum size to take into account, Greece has somewhere between 1,200 to 6,000 islands. About 200 of them are inhabited. This does not make Greece an island nation though, not even close.
Here is a list of island countries for reference.
Mostly water, some carbon dioxide. The formula is CH₄[liquid] + 2O₂[liquid] → CO₂[gas] + 2H₂O[steam]
Most Rockets do produce pollution, with the notable exception of those that use the Hydrolox reaction (Hydrogen and Oxygen).
There is actually ample and comprehensive evidence to the contrary. As well as broad scientific consensus on this matter. It seems though that you are viewing this predominantly with a political lens, so I'm going to concede the discussion. Thank you for the insight.
Now I understand the misconception. You think that you need a vastly larger percentage of the atmosphere to be CO2 for the climate to be impacted in any significant way.
To give you some context, in the Jurassic period (when almost the whole world was a tropical jungle), the level of carbon...
Over the past 800,000 years ice core data shows that carbon dioxide has varied from values as low as 180 ppm to the pre-industrial level of 270 ppm.
It currently sits at around 415ppm. This is not a rise of 0.01%, as you can plainly see.
Generally speaking, I'd say that the article is pretty accurate. While HN is not strictly in dire straits, there are a lot of challenges going forward, given the fact that it is extremely difficult to maintain the current fleet numbers.
I see 4 programs getting the green light or getting...
From a Real Politik standpoint, it makes absolutely no sense for Turkey to start a nuclear weapons program. Turkey is a part of the NPT treaty and a nuclear sharing NATO member. What are you guys talking about?
I don't really view this as a hint for Turkey moving on (or aiming) to the development of nuclear weapons. Erdogan knows pretty well that with Turkey signing the NPT and being part of NATO (thus taking advantage of the NU and being part of the nuclear sharing program) this ship has sailed, once...
