We do need that energy. But it won’t work everywhere, and the technology isn’t advanced yet. I’d love to see it work, and it’s important to talk about...
This is one option which has been used for years—nothing new. But we need more than geothermal. You have to have the right conditions for it to be via...
Have it your way. So any time I say "existential" just translate that as "very, very bad." Still, even if there's a small chance that it's existential...
:lol: Truly out of Trump’s playbook: look like a complete buffoon, then simply pretend like you’re a very stable genius. Well done. You’re right: you’...
Yes, and you've definitely shown yourself to be someone who can tell us. For those interested in the actual science: "In climate model simulations of ...
Okay, so no need to answer my question above -- apparently it wasn't a joke. So the earth will cool down is what you "think", eh? Guess we can tell th...
Good point. If we're going to split hairs about the word "existential," then how about instead of meaning the "human species" we mean the people of Ba...
Then you simply aren't paying attention. It's very much like an asteroid hurling towards earth. Not the same, of course. But regardless, you completel...
Let me save all the "it's not an existential threat" crowd on here some time. Here's Republican Dan Crenshaw for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
If we hit 4 degrees Celsius by 2050, we can wave goodbye to human life as we know it. If you think that's somehow not "really possible," then you're r...
That's just nonsense. Climate change is an existential risk -- there's little doubt about that. What you -- and others -- want to do here is split hai...
That climate change, like nuclear war, is an existential threat? Good. When I say this, I'm repeating what I've read from scientists, not the media. P...
You haven't read David Archer -- who's a serious person and a climate scientist. As I've said before, there is very good reason to believe it could wi...
No one is saying we’re doomed. If we continue business as usual? Yes, then we’re dead. There’s a chance, of course, that we survive— just as there’s a...
Good resource for anyone with questions: https://www.nytimes.com/article/climate-change-global-warming-faq.html?name=styln-climate®ion=TOP_BANNER&b...
Doomed implies it’s inevitable. Which justifies doing nothing, since we’re doomed anyway. Here’s a cartoon version. An asteroid is approaching Earth. ...
Not once did I say we’re doomed. Yes, if we do nothing — we’re dead. “If.” That’s not hard to understand, and that’s not saying “we’re doomed.” The ch...
First of all, you're making things up. No one is saying we have "12 years to save the world." Absolutely no one. No one serious anyway. That you refle...
It says it's not as bad as the media make it out to be because it's nit-picking. Playing semantic games at a moment like this, when scientists around ...
True. It’s really a question of when, and whether it’s too little too late. All the changes around us right now would have been great 25 or 30 years a...
:lol: Just as I thought. Stick with your dogma and be happy. The world is transitioning away from fossil fuels, which are 100% contributing to the cli...
So laws are "restrictions," in Ayn Rand's eyes (sorry, I mean "your" eyes), and thus restrict freedom. How quaint. By this I gather you exempt the law...
And because he apparently doesn’t read anything outside climate denial— and maybe not even that, given that the only reference given thus far has been...
It’s comments like this that make it obvious you don’t have a clue. Excess amount of greenhouse gases produces a greater greenhouse effect. That’s not...
Believed what? Going solely on what you've said thus far, it seems very obvious to me that you really haven't taken the time to understand the (now) o...
I'm very familiar with Alex Epstein. I'm also familiar with other very famous climate "skeptics" -- Marc Morano. James Inhofe. Myron Ebell. Bjorn Lomb...
Well yes, of course. That's all I'm talking about, although a lot of people here are taking a much broader view. But I don't care as much about whethe...
Your point is well taken. This is why I'm hopeful but not pushing too hard for this -- I know it can be "appropriated" by those who want to see nothin...
No one is- or ever has - said this is what’s necessary. This is yet another common strawman used by science deniers. It’s either catastrophe or Stone ...
Exactly right. Unfortunately I agree with you, although I’m still hopeful that the carbon removal technology can ramp up quickly. Bill Gates is on the...
And this is only one part of the world. We simultaneously have a drought going on here in New England, and one of the hottest Junes on record. Climate...
From a scientist hired by Exxon in the 80s to study the effects on climate: “We were doing very good work at Exxon. We had eight scientific papers pub...
That’s because you’re completely ignorant about this topic. If you continue to choose not to take 10 minutes to read about it, please stop trolling th...
Then you really don't know what you're talking about, and I suggest taking literally 10 minutes, type in "climate change" in Google, pick one result -...
No, not with me, with the overwhelming scientific consensus and the undeniable evidence. You choose to ignore all of that -- that's fine. People belie...
An interesting point. Notice that polls of younger people (including those identifying as Republicans) show that they are much more concerned about cl...
So that makes a total of 2 or 3 climate deniers so far. My advice: go back to your echo chamber. You won't learn anything here, since you don't care t...
What "cherry picking" are you referring to? https://news.mongabay.com/2021/01/were-approaching-critical-climate-tipping-points-qa-with-tim-lenton/ Als...
Well there's really no alternative I can see -- so you're either wrong or we're dead. What we feel about this shouldn't really matter -- rather, what ...
Okay...and then what? Is that where the story ends for you? If so, you're part of what I mean in the title of this thread. Because I'm sure a lot of o...
I understand that, and I'm not questioning your sincerity about it. I agree wholeheartedly that we, as individual consumers, should be doing more. But...
