No matter how obvious and beaten-to-death a joke is, there's always someone who can't help themselves.

I imagine advance knowledge of the timing is desirable if the project involves many volunteers going to a beach to herd turtles at night. Allows for planning, doesn't require anyone to monitor the webcam at night, etc.

Indeed, rails. Subway rails in fact. Subway rails with a subway train riding on them :)

It seems it automatically goes to the next page (and scrolls about 1/3 down the page) once I scroll to the bottom? And there's no way to go back to the previous page?

Some usability issues, but overall a nice idea. I like the chronological sorting.

How so?

2013/2014 was an exception. WCC has been held every other year for the last few years, and it will return to that now. Honestly I'm not quite sure why they decided to arrange the 2013 WCC in the first place.

Every other year makes a lot of sense for different reasons, though. It allows the champion to be more active outside of the championship (not just prepare for the next one all the time), it allows for a proper candidates cycle, it makes it easier to find venues/sponsors, etc.

Isn't that enough? Highly biodiverse environments like tropical rainforests are treasure troves of thousands of fascinating species that we don't know much about yet. No doubt we still have a lot to learn from these environments.

It's not necessarily as simple as calling the police in Liberia. Corruption levels there are significantly higher than they are in Denmark. What if the logger pays the policeman to do nothing about it?

Enforcement is definitely going to be a challenge, but hopefully they have a good plan in place.

CO2 isn't the only issue, of course. Biodiversity is another good reason to preserve the rainforests, and algae can't make up for that.

Did you read the article? It's not just a lump sum cash payment for a promise. A couple of relevant quotes from the article:

> Under the terms of the agreement, Norway will help Liberia to initially build up the capacity to monitor and police the forests.

> Liberia will refrain from issuing any new logging concessions until all existing ones have been reviewed by an independent body.

> Ultimately the Norwegians will pay for results, with independent verification that trees remain standing.

They aren't just arrogantly trying to help an African nation, they have an interest in trying to preserve the rainforest and its biodiversity. It's quid pro quo.
