What you are asking for is unrealistic. 3000 kg is huge. That's over four times the mass of a typical rhinoceros, for example. Being really large like that lets it bully its way to some other ani...
How does this time traveler handle the risks of being infected with a contagious idea then spreading it to his fellow humans on return to his own time? He doesn't. Coming back with a revolutionar...
It seems that what is now the earth started as an aggregation of rocky material. Large amounts of water were then added by bombardment of comet-like bodies. These contain a lot of ice.
Tornados and the thunderstorms that often spawn them are driven by rising columns of air. Such "thermals" are stronger and more likely in open terrain, like is prevalent in Tornado Alley. Let the...

This can't be answered because it depends greatly on the details of some drug/process/whatever that caused them to stop growing You made this up. Only you can say what the long term effects are....
That question was off topic for two reasons: There was no speculation. Paraphrasing loosely, this site is about "what if" questions with a foundation in science. It was about history. This is n...
Your question makes no sense due to its disregard of basic science. The atmosphere consists primarily of carbon dioxide and methane So did the early Earth's, and life was able to start here. This ...
There are two parts to your question. Humans can certainly continue to thrive on earth whether sea level rises or not. We live in quite a variety of climates now. Some climates shifting more tow...
First, moving questions rewards people for asking in the wrong place. That's not something that should be encouraged. Second, that's not a great question because it requires following links to ge...
Some time ago, I wrote a comment to this question. I don't remember the details, but something in the question needed to be fixed. I downvoted and left a comment saying I'd undo the downvote when...
