I cannot imagine why anyone would need to see these things being detailed in peer reviewed climate science papers before they can see it as plain as day. Roulette wheels usually feature a "0" space (and sometimes also a "00" space), whose presence is ignored when calculating payoffs (thereby allowing the house to win in the long run). Pingala ( c. 3rd/2nd century BC [34]), a Sanskrit prosody scholar, [35] used binary numbers in the form of short and long syllables (the latter equal in length to two short syllables), a notation similar to Morse code. [36] Pingala used the Sanskrit word śūnya explicitly to refer to zero. [34] In AD 813, astronomical tables were prepared by a Persian mathematician, Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, using Hindu numerals; [53] and about 825, he published a book synthesizing Greek and Hindu knowledge and also contained his own contribution to mathematics including an explanation of the use of zero. [54] This book was later translated into Latin in the 12th century under the title Algoritmi de numero Indorum. This title means "al-Khwarizmi on the Numerals of the Indians". The word "Algoritmi" was the translator's Latinization of Al-Khwarizmi's name, and the word "Algorithm" or "Algorism" started to acquire a meaning of any arithmetic based on decimals. [53]

In abstract algebra, 0 is commonly used to denote a zero element, which is a neutral element for addition (if defined on the structure under consideration) and an absorbing element for multiplication (if defined). A stone tablet found in the ruins of a temple near Sambor on the Mekong, Kratié Province, Cambodia, includes the inscription of "605" in Khmer numerals (a set of numeral glyphs for the Hindu–Arabic numeral system). The number is the year of the inscription in the Saka era, corresponding to a date of AD 683. [49] Instead, the UK government and big polluters are pinning their hopes on negative emissions technologies (NETs) – technological approaches to removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. NETs are increasingly being factored into emissions reduction plans, despite being completely unproven at scale.

The following are some basic rules for dealing with the number 0. These rules apply for any real or complex number x, unless otherwise stated. Although zero became an integral part of Maya numerals, with a different, empty tortoise-like " shell shape" used for many depictions of the "zero" numeral, it is assumed not to have influenced Old World numeral systems.

Quipu, a knotted cord device, used in the Inca Empire and its predecessor societies in the Andean region to record accounting and other digital data, is encoded in a base ten positional system. Zero is represented by the absence of a knot in the appropriate position.

It is really not that hard to imagine a world with 100 simultaneous incidences of record breaking massive PNW heatwaves followed by wild fires, towns being burn to the ground and then followed a few weeks later destructive winds rainfall and flooding wiping out Billions of infrastructure and a whole season of agricultural crops and tens of thousands of head of cattle, sheep or pigs and poultry. As early as 1926, Andreas von Antropoff coined the term neutronium for a conjectured form of matter made up of neutrons with no protons, which he placed as the chemical element of atomic number zero at the head of his new version of the periodic table. It was subsequently placed as a noble gas in the middle of several spiral representations of the periodic system for classifying the chemical elements. Clark shows that efforts to achieve the target will inevitably result in a huge hit to living standards, which will clobber the poorest hardest, and gift a massive geopolitical advantage to hostile superpowers such as China and Russia.

Arabic sifr in the meaning of zero is a translation of the corresponding India sunya.";These promised 'nature-based solutions' risk replicating the imperialist models which got us into this crisis in the first place – with countries in the Global South now acting as a carbon sink for pollution from the most industrialised nations.
