The CO2 has to go somewhere, and it was difficult to predict how efficiently the oceans could absorb new CO2. However, the oceans absorbing CO2 is not...
Climate change is easy to understand: change the composition of the atmosphere to trap more heat ... and more heat is trapped. You are confusing basic...
The earth system is not stable, there are no negative-feedback mechanisms that return it to the same state. The earth-system has a lot of buffers that...
To remind you of your position in the thread: Which you have yet to contradict, so are still defending? Or then some cowardly non-defence but ... also...
And to respond ahead of time to your bullshit. How do you know we've been in an ice-age as you say? Did you drill those core samples yourself? Or are ...
Maybe you should get up to speed on what's already been discussed on this very thread. Is a comment from 12 months ago, posting a video for those who ...
No worries at all. Completely agreed. The parties that seemed, maybe still seem, to really want war, the longer the better, are the US, UK and the for...
Honestly not sure how far back this pattern goes, as there's a selection bias of small victories and momentum in order to support the myth of progress...
Ah ok, thanks for clarifying. It did cross my mind as a possibility, but then it seemed fruitful anyways to contemplate this criticism as I have a dee...
Responding to a post in no way means taking every possible opposing position. As @"Isaac" has himself clarified, regardless of your interpretation of ...
That's what I understood from your statement, a general point about pragmatism and compromise. We're in agreement there. I have no serious peace propo...
Sure, but responding to a post does not somehow imply you take the opposite position to everything in said post. @"Isaac"'s fundamental position (same...
"As the partial pressure of CO2 in the atmosphere increases, the amount of dissolved CO2 in the oceans will increase" means that both are increasing r...
Well, that seems of the two options you thought of, the wrong one. As you point out yourself it could also mean no additional members, which makes far...
Again, the basic issue: Eastern European countries do not necessarily have the option to "feel threatened by Russia and therefore join NATO". Some do ...
You want me to explain it again: You make false statements that you yourself agree are false: You say: And then contradict that statement with: Your o...
No where does @"Isaac" claim: You were responding to: Which has nothing at all to do about anyone's feelings. @"Isaac"'s satement here is in no way co...
You are literally repeating what I stated: a balance is reached. Your statement was that oceans will eventually absorb all the CO2 ... literally stati...
Also, last week I pointed out that the escalation in weapons systems is calibrated to ensure Ukraine loses (and so Russia has no reason to use nuclear...
That's not the issue you're even discussing. Obviously the people joining likely felt safer to join and that's why they therefore joined (the alternat...
Untrue statement. Ocean concentration reaches a balance with CO2 atmospheric concentrations, that it is absorbing and releasing the same amount. Ocean...
You did not state life has "self correcting features". There's plenty of self correcting features, from DNA repair to tectonics plats "correcting" mou...
First, it's simply a false understanding to say the biosphere is self-correcting. Ecosystem stability is measured in the variability of biodiversity, ...
This video provides really great context to one of the big global issues that has been discussed during this war (especially in non-Western countries ...
You do realise that it's these records that have the scientists that collect and study this data so alarmed? "Crisis resolving itself" at CO2 levels n...
By coincidence, George Monbiot spoke of this issue a couple days ago, I think worth viewing: https://youtu.be/b9tnD_2m5Mk The no "alarmism", meek spea...
Natural gas being needed to "transition" to keep the grid stable (basically only hydro and gas can react to variations from renewable energy, and hydr...
This is the disagreement. The reality is whatever it is and understanding it as best we can is essential (accounting for different perspectives, limit...
This is not my message. You completely ignore the part where I explain my view that doing whatever we can, as effectively as we can, is a moral impera...
Obviously not. I develop the possibility to simply underline that the proposed moral imperatives to defend Ukrainian sovereignty, Ukraines's "right to...
Recognising the damage already done and also baked in, is not a "I can't do anything". I repeat several times that it remains a moral imperative to do...
I'll explain it again (I don't expect for your benefit, but perhaps others). Consider these positions: 1. Ukraine has a right to join NATO and NATO wa...
And the bodies are already starting to pile up, even if we consider only humans and ignore the 85% loss in wild animal biomass. Perhaps the most succi...
I agree with these statements. I'm not sure if and I are saying exactly the same thing, but I believe so. Our point of view here is considering humani...
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... private equity laundering money off the shoulder of Angola ... I watched I-beams glitter in the dark n...
Nukes in Ukraine is the start of an escalation pathway to WWIII, also just makes the world generally more unstable and WWIII more likely people seeing...
Yes, question is how much damage. The window of political feasible solutions closes before, potentially a lot before, the window of strictly physicall...
Exactly, why destroying Europe as a relevant political actor on the world stage is ... wait, pretty great from fossil fuel exporters who deny the real...
I just explained exactly how it had to do with Nukes. I can explain it again if you want. Already the threat of nuclear war precluded NATO boots on th...
It's not speculation, the policy of not escalating "too much" is official NATO policy. Even Biden just came out one day and shut down talk of a no-fly...
I did make this claim. I claimed you can use tactical nukes to win battles, bust bunkers, the sort of things tactical nukes are designed to do. @"ssu"...
Pretty much. NATO could have sent in planes and sent in troops and do what logically follows from the moral imperative to protect Ukrainian sovereignt...
The short answer is that it can go arbitrarily close the speed of light without ever reaching the speed of light. With more fuel magically available i...
Russia using nuclear weapons is completely realistic. Without that being realistic (if Nukes didn't exist or Russia didn't have them) we'd already be ...
For those interested, the reason the problem of renewables and backup capacity isn't talked about much is, to make a long story short, the media is du...
Put aside the hypocrisy of European leaders all of a sudden wanting actual clean energy to "save Ukraine" and "show Putin" ... yet somehow the entire ...
