  2.  @aperson2730  no it's entirely a decision made by the Government based on their political whim. Contributions towards paying for it are likewise political whim & there are entire classes of people who pay nothing at all, generally very wealthy people who would not notice contributing a small proportion.

  5. The instant you make something illegal there's a whole bunch of people looking for ways to bypass the law & if they have customers for their newly-illegalized goods they will succeed in bypassing the law. Where law-enforcement officers & politicians are customers it becomes pretty difficult to stop. The alternative is to regulate & tax it. This will initially bring the market price down but taxes can be increased & increased till the market looks for alternatives.

  9. ​ @GoofieNewfie69 I don't know whether rainfall has diminished but it's definitely moved & become more random which is why we're seeing the floods & droughts around the world that are frequently reported on the TV news.

  22.  @rawallon  if you didn't think about it we can be reasonably sure billions of other people didn't think about it either, probably including our politicians whose job it is to keep the planet livable. It's important though, desktop computers are using ever more power, usually over 300W, laptops considerably less, ~30W & the phone I'm typing this on, a modern powerful one, is using ~1W. There are millions of each class of device in every country & datacentres using all 3 tech classes, the total power is staggering. (I'm glad I'm not paying the electric bill).
