That projection was published in 2005. China didn't introduce its targets until 2010. The US has only very marginally lower emissions than...
China is a huge polluter, but it has also declared some very significant reductions as future targets, and it currently looks like it's on track...
What's a "normal sailboat"? And even if you could define normal, why should they be used in the AC?
Not really. Any slow down has only been temporary. Unless someone comes up with a monohull that can beat a multi, I don't think we'll be going...
Go from faster to slower? I'm guessing not....

This is information on steel in isolation - it doesn't offer anything at all in a comparison between steel and FRP. If you could tell us about...
Or perhaps tugboats don't need to be lightweight to perform well, so cheap steel is a better choice than more expensive FRP? Hmm....
I think you need to be a bit more specific. FRP is excellent at absorbing impacts (better than steel or aluminium for a given strength - see...
This is primarily a regulatory tool, but still may be useful for you OP if you don't mind converting to metric units:...
Yep, so we should be taking every possible step we can to minimise the damage. We can't currently eliminate it unless we stop boating, but we can...
That sounds unrealistic, but let's assume it isn't for a minute: it's only possible to "go after yachties" because a few of them openly display...
You could have clean clothes with less impact than you have now just by buying a more environmentally responsible detergent. It's ok to do...
A shower? No, by turning the hose on someone who voiced concern about the environment of the city he lived in. I agree that that particular case -...
That's a poor attitude. The public's perception (regardless of whether it's correct or not) matters - one sailor can tarnish the image of the...
I'm curious about this NYCAP - pound for pound composites give much greater strength than aluminium, so what is the reason that an aluminium boat...
I have a degree in software engineering, and am completing one in naval architecture. One does not transfer to the other. Of course you're...
That seemed to be an unnecessarily harsh post.... The OP doesn't seem at all arrogant to me, and people have succeeded at stranger or more...
If you are relying on the vsat infrastructure and protocols to provide security then you're a very long way from being totally secure. You should...
Current flows in proportion to the ease in which it can flow. If there are two paths (graphene and your body) that conduct current equally well...
