Landline would be OK at least when it was a copper POTS circuit. I'm now on fibre so my UPS would keep it up for a few hours provided that the remote exchange batteries hold up. VDSL is dead instantly.
Mobiles died doing ET phone home bleats once the local masts dropped out after ~30h. Now know to put then into airplane mode immediately to save battery. Mast transmit power drops when mains fails.
Fussy flat iPhone refused to take any charge from the car which was seriously annoying.
Not a bit. That's a common amateur tactic, accuse people of being Bible bangers or Trump lovers because you disagree with them.
Not exactly, but it was published in 2016, and may have been intended to make some religious nut feel happy. CO2 is the only nutrient plants need,and many plants adapt to high CO2 levels by having fewer stomata in their leaves, so that they lose less water getting the CO@ they can use
- and water is harder to get than CO2.
That doesn't say why corn yields have risen in the relevant periods - since 1956 there has been considerable progress in insecticides and weed killers, and nitrogen and phosphate fertilisers have become more popular.
Imagining that the data fits your argument when you haven't bothered to list all the relevant variables is a common amateur mistake.
When you get the data from climate change denial propaganda, it's more like importing somebodies else's deliberately deceptive output and passing it off as your own.
<snipped the usual abuse>Where did you learn biology?
That was a typo. It should have been "CO2 is not the only nutient plants need" as should have obvious from the rest of sentence (which you have carefully snipped). The sentence went on "and many plants adapt to high CO2 levels by having fewer stomata in their leaves, so that they lose less water getting the CO2 they can use - and water is harder to get than CO2."
I did first year biology at the University of Melbourne in 1960, and I've had a a subscription to New Scientist since about 1984 when my wife and I started making enough money for that kind of extravagance.
My mother had an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of Adelaide (1936-38) and was getting on with a Masters when the war broke out and she got "manpowered" off to replace a man in an industrial chemistry lab - actually a pulp and paper mill in Tasmania, where she ended up marrying my father (who had also been an undergraduate in Adelaide (in physical chemistry, and had played hockey with my mother's older brother who had done medicine).
My mother's even older sister had done a degree in geology, but could not get enough work as a geologist, so did a year's extra training in dietetics.and ran the nutrition department at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne for about thirty years.
You are being almost as snotty as John Larkin.
My apologies for jumping in too quickly. I didn't spot that it only makes sense with the correction.
