I appreciate the response— but nothing comes of that. Whereas moving off-topic posts is perhaps more manageable. This way climate deniers (who definit...
February 16, 2025 at 21:43
Yes, and rightfully so. I don’t suffer fools. I don’t like them, I have little tolerance for them. Especially sanctimonious ones. But I do hope they f...
February 16, 2025 at 19:38
Yes. I had him on the ignore list for over a year— among others. Now that that’s not an option, I can see all the more how often the thread has been t...

If only we could all aspire to get to the level of those who feel entitled to lecture others about their tone, childishness, flaming, and lack of subs...

Right— so create a thread where we can debate anything, even a flat earth. But the geology thread isn’t the place for that.
February 16, 2025 at 16:19
I know. I should have said “my” suggestion. Exactly.
February 16, 2025 at 14:27
Absolutely. And that has been done, countless times — and not just from curmudgeons like me, but from far more patient and thorough individuals. But t...

What ideology are you referring to exactly? Imagine a thread on evolution, where creationists spam constantly. Is objecting to this spam “ideological”...

Can the mods weigh in on this please? Thank you. @"Jamal"@"Michael"@"Hanover"@"Benkei"@"Baden"@"Count Timothy von Icarus"@"Moliere"
February 16, 2025 at 02:36
Yes. As I mentioned, it’s akin to a thread on biological evolution being spammed by creationist garbage. Of course they call themselves “intelligent d...
February 15, 2025 at 21:02
You’re right, but I want to be nice. No one admits to being a denier these days— no one. Not even Trump. Currently — and several times over the years ...

World’s highest solar plant by elevation goes online in China China will undoubtedly keep the lead in both solar and EVs. The US will regret falling s...

You don’t want terrorism, stop engaging in terrorism.

In explaining climate change, for people who are truly interested in learning about it, I always like to start with an easy experiment: you can take t...
February 14, 2025 at 22:32
Interesting and well-written perspectives? What’s the thread coming to? Anyway — how seriously do we take anything Trump says? Words and posturing mat...
February 14, 2025 at 20:42
Btw— maybe this was answered already, but why are you leaving moderation? I had a baby —what’s your excuse? @"fdrake"
February 14, 2025 at 20:13
Stoking the fire is a bannable offense.
February 14, 2025 at 20:11
Thank you, sir.
February 14, 2025 at 20:10
Ah — further demonstrating keen perception.
February 14, 2025 at 20:08
Oh — I’m a guy. That’s me in my profile picture. Why?
February 14, 2025 at 20:05
What?
February 14, 2025 at 20:04
@"fdrake" The fact that you kept a member who not only is often abusive (but of course excuses himself for) but, worse, reduces the forum to Twitter-l...

Can you grant preemptive pardons to your favorite members as part of your last moderator actions?
February 14, 2025 at 05:34
Just realized that CO2 levels and Olivia Rodrigo have both increased together — in ppm and age, respectively. Thus, let’s try to slow reduction of emi...

Yes, fight all those women and children who had nothing to do with it. I’m sure we’ll “destroy Hamas” any day now… Your moral instincts are as admirab...
February 14, 2025 at 03:39
Maybe Trump, in his own moronic way, stumbles to putting an end to the war that the US both instigated and prolonged. I doubt it, but who knows?
February 13, 2025 at 23:38
January wasn't expected to break global temperature records. But it did Again—this is just at 429 ppm (the highest in 2 million years). There’s also a...

Big shoes to fill.
February 13, 2025 at 20:53
So this thread is now just a venue for delusional Trump cultists to give Twitter updates and repeat news stories that everyone already knows. Cool.
February 13, 2025 at 17:37
February 13, 2025 at 16:18
Indeed.

What scientific prediction are you referring to? And yes, renewable enjoy is an interesting topic. They’ve become cheaper and more efficient. At this ...
February 13, 2025 at 05:22
Ah, okay. That makes sense. You’re basically right— but it’s very tough to live without plastics. They now play a major role in the world. Not talking...
February 13, 2025 at 02:34
It’s cool, but to me it’s not the most obvious example. The most obvious is transportation or electricity. That’s why I found it odd. But no worries.
February 13, 2025 at 00:13
Why figure on plastics, exactly? Electricity generation, transportation, home heating, cement and steel production, etc — all huge contributors. So wh...
February 12, 2025 at 23:58
The climate is changing at a pace not seen in human history— and it’s because of carbon emissions from using fossil fuels. It’s not that complicated.
February 12, 2025 at 21:44
“Aren’t you mad that the car that’s served you perfectly well over 8 years is really a piece of junk?” Oof. No wonder even Frank thinks you’re an idio...

The climate denier’s love affair with a YouTube rando continues.

For anyone reading this thread and thinking it’s just a venue for climate denying idiots to spout nonsense: I and everyone I know loves their EVs. The...

It was obvious that capitalism wasn’t sustainable 100 years ago. Now it’s a fact.
February 10, 2025 at 15:12
And only getting worse. We’re seeing these effects at 1.1. Imagine 2.4.

It really is like dealing with a child. “This idiotic article has REFERENCES from which it draws its stupid conclusions and moronic implications. I gu...

Lol- Imagine the level of a mind that reads that crap— let alone takes it seriously…to say nothing of actually referencing it.
