Th Climate Change Thread

Red said:
If you have a species that is self conscious, is able to use intelligence to change the world, but does not know enough about how any changes affect that world, that’s a flawed species, in my estimation. Or at least it’s a condition of innate ignorance that can lead to problems. For instance, the car was invented without any understanding of greenhouse gases and their effect on climate. Other animals, on the other hand, don’t seem to initiate things that can throw entire systems out of whack.

Valid point taken of course; yet may be as a species we are just not bounded to be here forever and to remain what we are now for ever.

It's because of humans. Wipe out all humans, save the world. We have zero intrinsic value as a species. Agent Smith was right, we are a virus on the planet. Consuming and destroying everything we touch. If people are truly serious about saving the planet they need to look at reducing the number of humans whose very existence poses an existential threat to every other species on the planet.

Eliminate the humans, save the planet. Simple.

Yeah cancel warriors should be canceled, and cancelers of cancelers as well and... soon enough we are in LopGrad territory... who cares, it will be just the top of the pyramid who will evolve and leave to be gypsies and colonizers and continue to change out there <insert gif of Charles and Camilla waving hands from the terrace here>.
Do you think if we win a Championship Ryan's family would be closer to the top? Or may be anyway will they be leftovers to extinction with us and Greta? :rolleyes:

Yeah, sure except for nearly all of history as far back as we can look and in every direction. Evolution didn't start when humans came on the scene. Evolution is life trying to tilt the system for their advantage and the fossil record is littered with victims. Nothing humans have done in their collective history is even 0.1% as destructive as the Great Oxidation Event foisted on the planet by cyanobacteria.

Sorry Al, wrong forum. Not science or data admitted. Just coaching and some emotional neurosciences allowed.

He has said he plans on giving big tax breaks to oil, coal, etc companies.

He gonna be dead soon anyway and he doesn't care about anyone else so it makes sense from his perspective

Dying now would likely be his greatest gift to his countrymen and women. He would never do that, lolol. Anyway, Project 2025 is the playbook, or so the Right hopes, for whoever the next Republican president is.

So if we don't stop burning fossil fuels there will be less of this:

You claim to work with data, and you don't understand the difference between a mean and a standard deviation?
Click to expand...
Sure. The mean is easy to convey using an anecdotal example while a standard deviation is a more abstract concept. For instance, the mean bra size in America in 2024 is a 34DD. Anecdotally, the American mean is this:

GUEST_d580b9d6-f4b3-4f19-9060-5351d33429e8


The standard deviation is about probabilities of being in other cup sizes which ends up looking like a line on a chart and is far less compelling to an audience.
 
can't we at least just agree that all Lakers and Man Utd fans should be culled ??? The earth does not need those oxygen thieves around and that would be an awesome start to relieving the stress on mother earth.

Not directly related to climate change, but the effort to “deconstruct the administrative state” would certainly include gutting the power of the EPA.

Conservative Supreme Court justices consider weakening federal agency power

The dispute arising from a fisheries regulation is the latest attack on the federal bureaucracy as part of what has been called a war on the administrative state.

Random fact, but did you know the one time head of the EPA was Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch's Mom?


Nepo baby, what?!?
