No. That's precisely what these measures are designed to avoid. There would be infrastructure at isolated geographic locations, and LNG tanker ships, ...
Geothermal is geographically limited. The specific conditions in which geothermal heat is close enough to the surface to be reached by drilling are qu...
An analogy is good, because then you don't have to talk about real things. It allows you to describe an injustice, and then suppose it demonstration o...
10-12 bn people, peaking around 2100 was the mid range projection of the UN Population Division - when I was looking at population issues, a few years...
Morally, I think it is wrong to discriminate against someone based on arbitrary characteristics like race, sex, sexuality etc. If the core value, and ...
I do not accept that. For example: University staff given list of banned 'microinsults' they cannot say to trans people https://www.telegraph.co.uk/ne...
I don't take issue that wokism points at: But does it address those issues honestly? I don't think so. It has an hysterical quality that undermines re...
Okay, but I'm not appealing to the right on an ideological level, but the right as those with the money and connections to business, that have the ski...
For the sake of the question I assumed a neutral global government could be set up without the particular domination of any one or two countries. Glob...
I am enjoying your scepticism, given that it is not actual skepticism. I've been beset by the subjectivism industry since I first used science and tru...
I don't believe global government is viable because the distance between government and governed would be too great. Perceived legitimacy of governmen...
I can only continue to suggest that green energy technologies are, perhaps deliberately insufficient to meet our needs going forward. I've run the num...
I don't know enough about economics to fully understand the short term consequences of developing limitless clean energy from magma. I have suggested ...
That is the current "plan" - so that's a safe bet. Would you like to go double or nothing on "a bunch of different approaches" actually working to sec...
Goofy is what we got! Let's work with it! The trick is, the left's approach to sustainability is wrong, and yet they've convinced the right of its val...
A solution to climate change is not what the libs want though! Not really! I tried talking to Extinction Rebellion and Greta Thunberg about solving cl...
Yes there is. We all know what the right thing to do is. If we didn't you couldn't pose the problem. We probably wouldn't do the right thing in those ...
Any organism that has eyes has a brain, including our primitive ancestors. We had eyes before we had intellectual intelligence, that's true, but inter...
Maybe all that is possible, but there's a lot of science and technology needs developing before super-longevity could be sustainable. If the future is...
I'm morally continent. I'm not morally virtuous. I don't do right because it is good. I know the difference between right and wrong, and will generall...
200 years of capitalist progress has outpaced Malthus' pessimistic prophesies thus far, via the application of technology — counterpunch Malthus is no...
How much energy is there in a cubic kilometre of rock heated to 700'C? I suggest the right solve climate change, and deny the left sustainability, use...
It is interesting. I read this quote, then parts of the full article. There's something slightly Panglossian about it. It's reasonable to speculate, b...
Thanks for your contributions but I think I've helped you all I can. I'm running a marathon for every step you take, you repeated a question I just an...
You're right to note that individually, we are not compelled by the moral sense. But, firstly, we should consider that other people are moral beings, ...
Chimpanzees have morality of sorts. They share food, groom each other, and remember who reciprocates and withhold such favours accordingly in future. ...
I've never had Batman used to explain the is/ought dichotomy before. Most people refer to David Hume (1711-1776.) Hume noted this disparity between fa...
No, I don't. I addressed this with the first line of the opening post. I'm right. If you disagree, you're wrong. We are not doing everybody gets a tro...
I reviewed the conversation to learn what I can from it. I'm still trying to understand why you so persistently drove the conversation off topic. Corr...
Obviously implicit in synthesis' statement here is the suggestion that he has ... ...but pages of discussion suggest glib disregard of the moral/spiri...
Our subjective experience of time is highly variable depending on mood and activity. Watching a good film hours pass in moments - whereas waiting ten ...
Thanks for so ably, and persistently demonstrating the problem. Clearly, there's something very wrong with you, but after pages of discussion, I'm sor...
You should believe whatever you choose to believe for whatever reasons you believe it is appropriate to believe things. Your reasons for believing thi...
Well, clearly, you're one of those end consumers - believers of many wonderful things, who need hardly notice that science is saving the world, becaus...
I've paid attention to science all my life; since childhood, whenever it pops up in the media, or conversation - I pay attention, and so I understand ...
Ironic, given that you've just been telling me how things will be in 500 years! How is that possible? NASA launched a probe to slingshot out of earth'...
I disagree. Reality worked the same way 500 years ago as it does today. We didn't understand at all how it worked then, but we have a much better idea...
Scientific principles explain how things work for real. Is that not miraculous? Have you ever felt that, understanding something scientific, you are p...
You seek to hold science inadequate to an idea of truth as absolute and certain knowledge, to which science does not aspire. I make no such claim on b...
Strong social media strategy? They train monkeys to go into space! Okay, if you'll consider the possibility that in theory, there is a scientifically ...
I cannot explain it to someone who will not understand. And if you ask that question, then you demonstrate your refusal to understand. You reject any ...
I do not agree with your assessment of the state and nature of knowledge. Science has really come together since the advent of the microchip; partly d...
Do people ever choose to believe anything? We're born ignorant, gullible and exposed to culture that as children, we absorb uncritically. We can chall...
I accept we are who we are. I've said many times we have to get there from here. In scientific terms, the molten interior of the earth contains massiv...
Synthesis, With all due respect further discussion is pointless. You're wrong and refuse to be corrected. It's not possible to establish any rational ...
