Just ignore those who have no interest in learning anything. Pat them on the head and reassure them everything will be fine. It’s beneficial…It’s just...
I don’t take it that seriously. It’s awful, of course, that one party has turned fascist, but those of us who pay attention to politics or current aff...
Railworkers, UPS workers, actors/writers, and now autoworkers. An interesting and pertinent question raised by NY times columnist Peter Coy: This stri...
The stupidity of the anti-vax movement emerges yet again. Eventually we should prosecute these people for child endangerment— or at the very least not...
The politics comes first; the plutocrat-selected “philosophy” comes later. Make no mistake. It comes from the top and inevitably trickles down, until ...
:lol: :up: I like this one. Apropos of the recent level of participants in this thread: https://youtu.be/ncHhjUllA7s?si=8T9hynpM0csSHmXz “Some people ...
Let climate deniers be climate deniers. The religion belongs to them. The analysis is easy, and requires nothing but conspiracies and cheap skepticism...
Exactly— forget the evidence, and forget understanding the science. Just apply said analysis and presto— sit back and feel good about yourself. I myse...
No no no, reading a thermometer is a narrative. This analysis holds up. Life has evolved over billions of years. Evolution isn’t a fact— it’s an offic...
Inside Exxon’s Strategy to Downplay Climate Change Internal documents show what the oil giant said publicly was very different from how it approached ...
How you got this from what I said is bizarre. No kidding. That’s what I have and will continue to do. What I won’t do is resign myself to doing nothin...
What? It’s not “my” science. The evidence is there for all to see. Gotta try hard not to understand it, in fact. It’s not a narrative. It’s scientific...
What “official climate crisis narrative”? The rising of global temperature is due to burning fossil fuels, deforestation and agricultural practices. T...
Central theory of sustainability? What are you referring to? I’ve read Marcuse— I guess I missed this. But in any case, seems far fetched. Who cares? ...
I assume you'll say Paul Hawken or something like that, and then point out that he's a capitalist, etc. etc. I'd point to people like Bill McKibben, R...
Your addressing the actual questions were more reasonable than I'd expect, and this part especially. I happen to agree. Why then do you always seem to...
Well let’s have that discussion then. I’m not at all certain. I make the choice not to dwell on the idea that we’re probably screwed. It’s useless and...
Plenty. I’ve seen none from you whatsoever other than “I doubt it can be done.” The Industrial Revolution started in Britain. The so called communist ...
Yeah— they do better than fossil fuels in all these areas. With the exception of solar panels and land use, which is comparable to coal but not gas. B...
I agree. In the “short” term of generations. In the longer term, we really should abolish the state. Not governance or social organization, but the st...
Over $20 billion a year (conservatively) is a lot, especially when compared to renewables. And this isn’t factoring in other subsidies. One estimate —...
Oh Christ. Will references to this charlatanical bore never end? If you’re spending time and effort attempting to figure out the ramblings of Jordan P...
For a second I thought this was real: https://theintercept.com/2023/08/20/global-warming-history-china-hoax/ Goes to show the state of climate discour...
Reducing the fossil fuel energy consumption, yes. But most of that can be replaced with greener technology. Electricity, transportation, etc. Agricult...
Well it has to be done. It either will or won’t. I don’t see the point of repeating over and over that this is a hard task. Yes, we’re all in agreemen...
Vaping didn’t become popular until much later, and is an entirely different thing. It too is now being regulated as an industry— rightfully. But in an...
EROI is already much better, and if you factor cost of externalities is no contest. Whether or not there is enough time is the second issue I mentione...

It comes down to a different analysis of power. Yes, political action happens against the backdrop of public opinion— especially in a relatively free ...
No one said they were. Philosophy involves many things. To privilege or emphasize “ongoing conversation” is a definition, or at least part of one. It’...
Ok. What’s your evidence for this? Where’s the argument? If we’re just to accept this — to what end? What’s the point? Maybe I missed something in the...
It works the other way too. Those I ignore clearly have no idea I haven’t read a word of what they’ve written in over a year— so they don’t even know ...
It’s absolutely a matter of political will. There are a number of factors which influence political still and government action. But the biggest influ...
