I'd be a bit surprised if anyone even checked, it's easy to type int out of habit when a number is needed, or even if the dev did consider it the code building and running might be enough reassurance.
Isn't it kind of worse that it's not just a branding question?
After all the idea is to incentivise truly carbon neutral energy.
Obviously there's pragmatism and gas is better than coal but I think an independent body would say "burn gas if you must, but don't expect to get off freely with closing the nuclear plants".
I imagine to some extent men and women choose different words because they express different ideas? That can still be a for societal reasons if you like but at a "level lower" than language.
This kind of question reminds me of "if a lion could speak, we could not understand him"
I feel like the numbers sound so low they probably do more harm than good regardless.Even 3°C is well within normal variation from day to day, so unless you're already concerned about the secondary effects, vicious cycles etc, the number alone is reassuring if anything.
This increases competition of sex workers for johns, artificially drives prices down, gives johns greater bargaining power over sex workers, and doesn’t fix the problem of johns trying hard to remain anonymous and requiring situations where you’re less able to go to the police if you wanted. Sex workers hate this.
I figure when people want in-person over video, video over audio etc. both sides can benefit because there are "real" signals you want to be understood, but there's an element of detecting things the other side would rather you didn't as well.
So the people who are good at faking as well as reading those signals get an additional benefit over those who aren't.
The 2nd argument is a benefit only to the US so not relevant to outsiders deciding whether they're "playing fair".
Arguably this applies to the first as well, or at best only US allies.
And the third... Again kind of self interest - one rule for your own citizens and another for everyone else's.
IMO there are two ways to view this: the US acts in its own interests, everyone else does too, fine.
It's only hypocritical if the US expects a higher standard from others, "rules based international order" etc, but seeks to exempt itself -
edit: in which case the world just sticks with the previous view, which, hey, every other species does too.
