Yeah but what the above commenter is saying is their base doesn’t want any of that. They detest all of those things, even the small gradual changes. Investing in nuclear energy is a tacit acknowledgement of man made climate change. Any acknowledgement or concession and they will be primaried out in a minute

Any comparison of efficiency between solar and fossil fuels is nonsensical at best and intentionally misleading at worst. In no universe is light -> photovoltaic cell -> electricity less efficient than light -> entire food chain -> biomass -> decomposition -> millions of years of geothermal heat and pressure -> extraction -> refining and transport -> burning -> turbine generator -> electricity. Ugly? More ugly than power lines, roads, apartment buildings, tractors, fences, etc etc etc? You're simply not used to it. Also, who cares? Sure, millions of people died in the displacement from sea rise, famines cause by climate change, and wars from resource scarcity, but thank God we didn't have to look at those solar panels occasionally. Offshore fracking? Fucks sake. Have you already forgotten the deepwater horizon disaster? Think about the damage that did to the gulf coast, add a few million barrels of highly toxic fracking fluid to the mix, and there you have our next major environmental disaster courtesy of offshore fracking. But oh man, those solar panels sure are ugly. Stop repeating the lies fed to you by the people getting rich from fossil fuels, who couldn't care less about you or your descendants as long as they get theirs. We can deal with the less environmentally friendly aspects of solar power. We cannot deal with the consequences of continuing to pump carbon into the atmosphere. Y'all need to grow the fuck up and stop whining about the view.

I'm honestly waiting for climate change and the impacts of that to kick some fucking sense into people. But who am I kidding itll still just be more of the poor suffering while the rich claim victim hood for handouts while letting us all starve. Its honestly hard some days to not just give up, and I truly wonder if and when anything will ever actually be done.

I think climate change tends to get some people riled up. When I was part of a debate club, they loved throwing that subject in. One case we had to discuss was whether or not it was okay to fly if it pollutes the air. A friend of mine on the team got very worked up because he loves to travel. At the end, we actually had to make up because our disagreement about flying got very heated.

Can i suggest maybe honing in on LGBTQ? It's a useful grab-bag for talking about issues like law reform and workplace discrimination, but less so as you dive into addressing people's stated needs. Literally 95% of my congregation voted for marriage equality a couple of years ago, and we were active in the push for the ordination of people in same gender relationships. Meanwhile there's been significant pushback on the church council's idea to include our preferred pronouns in our written communications as a matter of course, so I'll be spending this afternoon trying to begin a pathway to a respectful conversation between those who think the move is a no-brainer and those who think it's a no-brainer that gender is fixed and requires no discussion. ​ **Edit**: Also, great list... really interesting discussions... I wonder about Health Care and Climate Change as other additions?

They need to change laws so it's more worth selling agriculture products in the US rather than export it. They also need to change laws so there are monetary penalties for growing crops that are not particularly viable to an area's natural climate. As it stands right now, my neighbor makes double the price per head of cattle by exporting out of country than he would selling right here. All the people complaining about climate change on here should probably be complaining about this too.

Just thought I would share the climatological data for the pok area for those nervous about the drought: [https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=aly](https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=aly) *(Pick Poughkeepsie Area- Monthly summarized data- 2000-2022, Precipitation, Sum and press go)* You'll see that July and August are set to be record low rainfall since 2000, and although if we keep breaking low records it would be very bad- you can see what a little tropical moisture can do to the numbers... check out a few of those max numbers in Sept, Oct, and Nov. And even if we break the 2001 year total low record- check out all the numbers since 2000... In the HV we are lucky that multi and contiguous years of record low rainfall are very rare. Now that's not to say we should go out and use water like crazy- conservation is warranted- always and very much so right now IMHO. I also understand climate change will continually affect weather patterns and like stocks- past performance does not indicate future results necessarily... BUT for those getting seriously anxious, don't panic. Look at the climatology data linked above, and I think it will make you feel better. And as an FYI- the next drought update from the National Weather Service is expected on Sept 13th.

Blaming environmentalists for the failure of nuclear energy world wide is just such a weird take, when did governments/companies ever give a fuck about their opinion? Never as seen by the small problem of climate change that we have now. But what do they care about? MONEY! Nuclear energy was never cheap like the industry promised in the 70s. In the past it wasn't competitive against fossil fuels and now it isn't against renewables.

That a big part of the solution to climate change is population control. The world is already way beyond its carrying capacity. I'm not talking about killing people of preventing them from having babies. I'm talking about free universal reproductive education and access to birth control. Also remove any tax breaks and other special treatments given to religious institutions that are against birth control.

Sorry for the long read, tl;dr: Getting into university and realizing they spout a historical nonsense, straight up lying about or refusing to acknowledge how most of the worlds problems is colonialism and America's fault, everything they say having a tinge of racist/race apologist undertones, them being funded mostly by billionaires, them being massive cry babies with no actual way to make the world better and debate bros like Vaush who destroyed their points easily. For me it was university and getting an education which helped realize just how ahistorical/wrong/cherry picked the claims of the right wing "intelligentsia" was. Like they would say shit about Islam or Muslims (which would more often than not be wrong or taken out of context) then not even mention things like colonialism, the CIA overthrowing half their governments or the little fact that America being a biiiig supporter of all the groups they claim to hate. I'm guessing that's one of the reasons they hate "woke education in universities"/ They talk about how horrible feminism is but fail to mention the things it's actually done like give women, aka half the worlds population, more rights than ever which has allowed many societies to prosper. They want to actively go against that but also shit on countries like Saudi Arabia for preaching the same thing but praise Russia which is arguably way worse when it comes to the treatment of women. I kept asking myself why until I realized the obvious answer, it's a white country and everything they say is engrained with racist undertones meant to make who they deem as "lesser" or "savages" look as bad as possible based strictly on their skin color. Which is funny because for people who preach about "Western civilization" and "Western values", they sure do seem to hate both of those things and want to take back to a non-existent past. Like how far back do they want to go because a lot of what they preach goes against "Western values" even of the past and more I thought about it, the more I realized they would have to passed the enlightenment, passed Rome and even passed Greece to get to their "perfect world". And it really goes on and on, them denying climate change was also a big one, but I think the biggest thing was just how massive cry babies they all are and how they managed to convince people it's actually the left because of how well they stick together. Like all they do is whine and bitch and moan about cancel culture, the "woke left", cringe LGBTQ+ people/content online, Muslims, black people, Socialism etc. They don't actually have any platforms or ideas except being against what ever is actively moving people forward and cutting taxes on the rich, who just happens to fund them. And since there's literally dozens of forms of leftist politics with things like And once I realized how annoyed/shitty their content makes me feel (because it's almost entirely outrage porn, as can be seen by Ben Shapiros biggest videos), I just unsubscribed from all of it. That also helped me get into left wing content like Breadtube and debate bros like Vaush and Destiny who easily dispel almost all of their points using actual facts and cognitive reasoning rather than just talking really fast with lolipop guild voice. I was lucky to get out but I know a lot of people haven't/won't because it's easier to fool someone than convince them they've been fooled well social media outlets constantly feed you a little trickles of outrage porn which makes it difficult to think reasonably.

From California, very near the coast. We're not supposed to be hit too badly\*, but I am looking for a second home in Northern Minneapolis, Eastern Wisconsin, all of Michigan near the water, and Northeast Ohio, so i can go to once things get worse (10-15 years). I already visited a few of these places; the Cleveland suburbs were especially nice and still affordable. Duluth MN is ok, but i dont think it can handle a big influx of people. Cleveland used to be the 4th largest city in the country, so they have the infrustructure already built; they would just need to re-inforce it/rebuild it to handle an influx of people. **Let me know if you disagree, as Cleveland is my top choice right now.** Yes, these places aren't that great right now, but once climate change gets worse, they will get better. IE; they are starting to experience shorter winters:[https://www.cleveland19.com/2022/02/05/has-it-really-been-bad-winter-so-far/](https://www.cleveland19.com/2022/02/05/has-it-really-been-bad-winter-so-far/) ​ \* * our state government is working on building more water storage and recycling as currently 50% of water that falls in the state is not harvested * we are only recycling about 10% of water, if we can do more it would make a big difference * 40% of water that is harvested is used for agriculture, only about 10% is used for cities, so we might have to stop farming so much * Coastal California and Bay area are not going to get too hot * California will only have about 1 foot of sea level rise ​ Also, I recently stumbled on this youtube channel; she's a scientist talking about each state and what they can expect in the future with regards to climate change: https://www.youtube.com/c/AmericanResiliency

It doesn’t matter what you define “real science.” Science is science. Ignoring what you don’t like doesn’t invalidate it. Doesn’t help you’re painting people with very real and serious concerns as alarmists And no, I’m not going to bother. I can already guess that any proof I put forward, you’re just going to link the Greenfacts.org article and continue to call me an alarmist, that “I’m causing a panic for no reason.” Despite, you know, climate change is already occurring and every effort to address it is blocked by oil barons like the Koch brothers, who sponsor reactionary think tanks to put out climate change denialist propaganda so they can continue milking as much money out of their buisness before they inevitably fail and move on to other projects with their blood money.

https://old.reddit.com/r/SocialDemocracy/comments/x2p2fe/opinion_of_joe_biden/imlc7mr/

I posted this on a somewhat similar question on the r/seculartalk subreddit about ranking Biden should he have recently retired: I've been reading a book where the author gives a rundown of the major crises and events each president has faced and how they responded to said crises. After giving the rundown he gives them either a standard letter grade or an incomplete because the guy died in office early on. I've only recently got to Lincoln, but I think Biden easily ranks in the top 15 presidents. The US has had 45 presidents and a lot of them have been pretty fucking bad. Skip to section three if you only care about what I have to say about Biden. \--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The bottom rung is filled with guys like John Tyler, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump all rank at the bottom for me. Those kinds of guys were either breathtakingly incompetent or criminals or both. Tyler probably belongs in the next rung, but the guy literally got elected to the Confederate Congress during the Civil War. Things are still up in the air about Trump, but Tyler literally became a traitor to the country he once led. On that, alone, he deserves being in the bottom rung. The next rung features guys like Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan. These are the guys who I think either failed to rise to the challenges of their day or actively worked to, in my eyes, make things worse. Many of them were, in my eyes, the weak and feckless Presidents who were either unable or unwilling to even attempt to change the toxic status quos of their day. Or, in the case of Ford (since I haven't read up on his presidency, yet), they preemptively pardoned that piece of shit Nixon. After that is the rung featuring guys like John Adams, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, Ulysses S. Grant (may deserve placement on a higher rung), William McKinley, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. I'd say these guys were giants of their age, but also did a lot of things that I am strongly critical of. Do I think they were all bad like the guys below them, though? Not in particular. The next rung is occupied by guys like John Quincy Adams, William Howard Taft, John F. Kennedy, and Jimmy Carter. I'd say they were guys who probably had good intentions, but ultimately had relatively inconsequential presidencies for whatever reason. I'd probably put most of the post-Reconstruction and pre-1899 presidents here, but that stems more from my relative lack of knowledge about them than from anything they may or may not have done while they were in charge. Kennedy is a bit of an exception here. Major things happened while he was President and he made big decisions, but I also tend to think he is overrated as a president. He's probably better than the guys I listed, but not nearly good enough to qualify for the next rung. Adams II may be ranked unreasonably high, but I strongly admire his post-presidency political career. After that is the rung of actual good presidents. Presidents who actually had a good vision even if I don't always agree with that vision or their tactics. They actually accomplished good things while in office. I'm still critical of them, but I think they weigh in firmly on the positive side. This is filled with guys like Thomas Jefferson (I waffle on him), James Madison, Woodrow Wilson, Harry S Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Barack Obama. The final and highest rung are those presidents who, in my eyes, qualify as Great Men of History (Politician Edition)^(TM). All joking aside, these are the greatest presidents in my mind. Even if they did some or many disagreeable things, I think the good things they did greatly overshadow them. In chronological order, these Great Presidents^(TM) would be George Washington (borderline), Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt (may be a bit overrated, but he's easily my favorite President), and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (I consider FDR to be the best President). \--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for Joe Biden, I think he's done a lot of good stuff in his first year-and-a-half in office given the political constraints he faces. Domestic policy highlights for me include the stimulus checks, the American Rescue Plan and the vaccine rollout, changes he made to the USPS, forgiving some student loan debt (all in my case) and continuously delaying loan repayment, the infrastructure bill, the CHIPS Act, the PACT Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Foreign policy highlights for me include withdrawing completely from Afghanistan, supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia, reengaging with the Iranians in regard to the nuclear deal, overseeing a massive drop in drone strikes in foreign conflict zones, and rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement. Of course, there are many aspects of his presidency that I am critical of. However, I've found that those criticisms are mostly because I want him to do more of what he's already done rather than for him to just do something even microscopically good. It's like the difference between upgrading from one slice of pizza to two slices and not getting any pizza at all. I think, for me, when honestly rating his presidency, it's important to get over the fact that Biden isn't Bernie. If you're waiting for Biden to, for example, cancel all student loan debt then I think you're purposefully setting yourself up for failure, disappointment, and maybe even anger. I can understand wanting it, but I also think it was ridiculous to even put that card in your deck of potential new policies and laws. A lot of stuff like that is likely never going to happen. Especially with how Congress looks right now and with what kind of politician Biden is. As far as ranking him, I think, with what he's done so far, Biden is already equal to or slightly better than Obama and that those two have been the best presidents since Lyndon Johnson and Harry Truman. Hopefully, he keeps the train going.

A bad scenario with climate change is exactly that: global climate change similar to other mass extinction events. Even if many species go extinct, humanity will most likely not be among them because humanity is able to respond to changes in the environment. A bad scenario with misaligned superintelligent AI is human extinction and the partial dismantling of the planet for resources, which would be significantly more difficult for life to recover from. Also, climate change already has a lot of attention and potential solutions whereas AI alignment does not

You have no real solution to any real problem, all you have is lefty internet talking points that gives you a sense of community as well as an illusion of being smarter than other people and being morally superior, because you have the advantage of being unburdened morally by existing in the real world or even having the ability to impact the real world. You talk about me straw manning you then you accuse me of opposing action other than voting??? Then you imply I only support minor reforms. Then you go on some nonsense about "mutual aid" addressing climate change. No, only the power of the state, the majority of states, has enough influence to seriously deal with climate change. While individuals and communities certainly should do what they can, only the state, with some help from market forces, can force industry to go green. I brought out dictatorship because one of the chief criticisms of people further left is that "social democrats don't go far enough", which to me seems like these people imagine themselves in power without opposition, with is a bad mindset. Democracy means the other people get to vote too. And lastly you people once again are only capable of accusing the people who try to make the world a better place are not good enough will you don't, and in fact are incapable, do anything of value. Indeed, the economic treatment of poorer countries by wealthier countries is bad, which is why we should promote actual policies that would actual make an impact in the real world, such as make better trade deals that don't allow child labor or dumping of wasting into the environment. Rather than.... whatever it is you people do. Also, it is still a deeply stupid claim that we can't improve life for people at home because some idiot online spread the fake narrative that the world is a zero sum game and improve life one place is only possible by increasing misery somewhere else or that wealth can only be moved around. The wealth state actually isn't funded by "super exploitation", though international companies are often exploitative and we should demand change

> Let me just start by saying I don't believe society should be built around a completely capitalist society with no government regulations or checks on companies. Mixed economies are a result of capitalists of the past being forced to compromise with socialists. Socialism is why we don't have the *really* bad capitalism anymore. Like, 100% socialism isn't the only socialism. In fact, almost no socialism is like that, even in countries that claim to be socialist. Socialism is like democracy. Nowhere on Earth has 100% infinity democracy. But most places on Earth have some democracy, and almost everywhere democracy is, it improves things over not having democracy, and most places where there could be more democracy, it would make things better so long as it's implemented well. The result is that democracy is one of very, *very* few things that have improved the quality of life of humanity without being a physical technology. Socialism by ending the *really* bad capitalism, has already proven itself to be at that tier of value to civilization. But capitalism, hate to tell you - still pretty bad! Presently, capitalism is on track to burn down the planet and exterminate the human species via extreme climate change brought about by the actions of rich people who will be dead before then, and so do not care. Capitalism can *not* stop doing that, because *capitalism is what is doing that*, because capitalism is why those rich people have the power to make those decisions. Right now, we need to stop the still-bad capitalism, and that will take *way* more socialism implemented in *way* more places, until rich people no longer have the power to choose to burn down the planet and exterminate humanity to make their line go up.

Like a shit ton, pipelines and mining capacity. Personally, I feel Canada needs to prepare for the resources of tommorow, not the demands of today. While I support private investments in Oil and Gas, Russia has in fact accelerated the global shift away from oil, and countries will move away from it in the next decades. The Government should not spend money on oil and gas, and should not destroy ecosystems for it. We should focus on - Natural Gas - Lithium - Rare Earth Metals - Core resources (metal/iron/nickel) - Hydrogen - Lumber And instead of just exporting, we need to utilize advancements in robotics and automation to manufacture and process these materials at a cheap price, replacing China. Canada is in a really strong position as a democratic state with good freedoms and little risk from climate change. The combination of basically unlimited resources in this country, a strong manufacturing industry that can grow even larger, a growing IT sector, increasing investments by our government, and strong allies in Europe and North America make us posed for high growth. Factors such as the Northwest passage melting, and a more moderate temperature north help us even more. And most importantly, we have a stable government, and stable banking system, and are not at risk of collapse from investment.

The overturning of Roe V Wade, children are literally forced to keep a fetus in their body that cannot live after being raped because it still has a heart beat with a significant chance of permanently harming or killing the child mother (10 years old 10 YEARS OLD!!! in the last example I heard about). This is beyond disgusting, and if something like this can pass (and still find approval), then the sky is the limit. Members of the supreme court have openly said they are going after inter racial marriage, and same sex marriage. Gerrymandering is so pervasive now its destroyed the ability of congress to actually represent its constituents. We have members of the government openly spouting blatant hate speech and pushing easily debunked conspiracy theories. Yet the majority of their party still supports them. Higher education is absurdly expensive, in the 1960's you could go to a university for less than 1k a year, adjusted for inflation. Before that believe it or not university was actually free all over the place. Corporations continue to gain more and more power, the wealth gap in the US is like that before the French revolution. Its literally multiplied in the last couple decades. Staple foundational books are being taken out of school library's. Laws are going up saying that school library's have to show "both sides" ...the example of the holocaust was brought up, and yes there needs to be a pro-holocaust perspective. To pass the "biggest green climate change helping" legislation in ages they lumped in TONS of regressive fossil fuel industry help. I don't remember the exact specifics (its been a long day), but basically the court is going to be possibly allowing those that normally transfer the election results to decide that the election was rigged and to cast the vote for someone that did not win the election. (I wish I was making this stuff up) ...the list goes on and on, I'm tired. Not saying, there have not been positive changes, however there are some huge shifts going on that honestly could bring the US to its knee's its not forgone, but it ABSOTLUTELY should not be ignored.

Federal protection was introduced to protect them (and many other birds) from the feather and egg trades, so anything else that negatively effects them like habitat loss or loss of food (such as through development or climate change) isn't prohibited. edit:changed is to isn't. woops.

Climate Change and the Politics of Shared Sacrifice. They do a review of the science, then analyze the politics. Keep in mind that there is about a 97% scientific consensus on the fact that we are in a climate change emergency, so objective facts are not going to treat the climate change deniers as if they are an equal voice or legitimate opinion (objectively, climate change exists, unfortunately, it’s not subject to opinion).

Climate change is real. People can’t do fuck all about it though. However, let’s assume for a second that everything the left wingers say is true. Humans pollution leads to the earth getting hotter and hotter until the oceans boil and all the animals die. You know what happens next? The earth cools down and inevitably some form of life survives leading to a progression similar to what happened at the dawn of life nearly 4 billion years ago. Sure it may only be bacteria, but it is still life. There is bacteria in the boiling vents over volcano’s so it’s safe to assume heat won’t kill them very easily. Are the people fucked? Maybe. IF YOU ARE RIGHT, which we have conflicting data on. Is the earth fucked? Nope.

Ambient particular matter pollution is not climate change. It’s pollution. The actual temperature change or weather extremities do not meaningfully contribute to the risk factor at all. To equate particulate pollution to climate change is very disingenuous imo.

Pardon, but I wasn't talking about the heat retaining effects of carbon dioxide. I was talking about the carbon dioxide cascade effect. The best known cascade effect is when adding just a little more water turns a drip into a flow. This is still a standard in many physics classrooms. The carbon cascade effect is when just a little more carbon dioxide means that the heat retention of the atmosphere radically increases. This is what has never been shown in nature or replicated in the laboratory. It's also the key assumption behind *anthropogenic* climate change.

We can’t afford poor people either. The Earth can’t even handle the current population getting a decent standard of living RIGHT NOW. It would take [1.1 Earths to give the global population in 2012](https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33133712 ) (about 7 billion people at the time, it’s over 8 billion now and counting) the same living standard as the average person in China in 2012, accounting for resource consumption, land use, carbon emissions, etc. According to the cofounder of the organization that provided the data for the graphic, this is a SIGNIFICANT UNDERESTIMATE since “there are aspects on which no good data exists that we don't include, so our demand on nature is larger” as he stated in the article. For context, [the average Chinese person made just a bit over $5.50 a day when the infographic was made](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-in-poverty-relative-to-different-poverty-thresholds?country=~CHN ) AFTER adjusting for price differences between countries. That’s about $2000 per year. ***The Earth CANNOT handle a population of 7 billion people living a lifestyle where they make just over $2000/year, adjusted for price differences between countries.*** This standard of living is FAR below what any housed person in a developed country could endure, nevermind enjoy life in, no matter how hard you try to make it sustainable. There is no way to provide a pleasurable existence for the 8 billion people alive now, never mind the 10 billion or more projected to exist by 2100. It will only get worse as developing countries industrialize and consume more resources per capita as populations boom and resources (many of which are nonrenewable) dwindle, especially with climate change dramatically exacerbating things. The only moral solution is lower birth rates unless you want a global genocide, eternal poverty for most of the planet ([as is happening now](https://www.usnews.com/news/economy/articles/2018-10-17/world-bank-half-the-world-lives-on-less-than-550-a-day )), or mass famine. Then there are the horrific effects of climate change and resulting flooding, resource depletion, natural disasters, wars, immigration crises, etc. [The climate crisis could displace 1.2 billion people by 2050](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/sep/09/climate-crisis-could-displace-12bn-people-by-2050-report-warns ) and [its effects on the environment, water supply, and agriculture are already causing shortages](https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/here-s-the-latest-data-on-climate-and-food-and-it-s-not-good/ar-AAYSNv7?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=75cc860818c4436bbe8b895074b9aa7a ) even though we aren’t even close to the expected temperature increase or reaching net-zero emission targets yet (if ever). The second article also states that “some experts predict the earth will run out of topsoil within six decades.” If you thought the right wing backlash to the 2015 Syrian refugee crisis or Mexican immigration to the US that gave a global resurgence of the far right was bad, you haven’t seen anything yet. Not to mention, political crises and wars like the Arab Spring and the rise of terrorist organizations were [exacerbated by rising food prices and water shortages caused by climate change](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/climate-change-and-rising-food-prices-heightened-arab-spring/ ). But let’s say this is wrong and the planet can handle 11 billion or more people. Even then, there are still only a finite amount of resources available. As a result, those resources will be diverted away from the people who are already alive to the newborns. Why should everyone else accept reductions in their own quality of life so other people can have children?

Considering there are no real specifics, on face this seems like an awesome thing to start gearing towards as climate change continues to impact the way we all live and get on with each other. Corporations and international businesses usually have a complete disrespect for human rights and sustainability, so at this time it seems to be a nice thing for the club to do. Granted, I concede that there is an irony in Toyota being a terrible polluter and defrauding the Clean Air Act's standards is a deplorable thing that the Friedkin Group is accountable to. So this may all be fluff... but at least the club is posturing itself to be more environmentally considerate moving forward.

>This and this period of time doesn't seem to be any different. The difference is that in the past machines replaced human physical labour and pushed humans to leverage their mental intelligence to justify their labour value instead. Now artificial intelligence replaces human mental intelligence. What do humans have to leverage next? The main point is that artificial intelligence is a fundamentally unique type of automation. But often people fall into the fallacy of believing that "human society always eventually advances in a positive direction" is an unfallable law of nature based on an insignificant 100k year record which biases them towards over-valuing historical trends and prevents them from correctly appraising new things. Similar reason for why people have difficulty recognizing how human intervention can drive climate change and mass extinction of millions of species. It is difficult to recognize how advancement enables human actions to negatively impact the environment on a planetary scale. Especially so when historical biases drive people to assume that humans are, and have always been mostly insignificant when discussing planetary scale events.

Just because someone has donated to a university doesn't mean they have any say over the results of the research. Any scientist that intentionally publishes misleading information will destroy their entire career. The fact is that regardless of the results of any scientific research, there will be plenty of science left to do. If we suddenly discovered that covid vaccines were unsafe (which they aren't), it's not like everyone would lose their jobs - in fact they'd have more work to do, and would receive even more funding to develop a vaccine that is safe. If they found that covid vaccines are perfectly safe (which they are), then there would still be more work to do developing future vaccines to be more effective, especially against newer variants. Essentially, the likelihood of a donation influencing the results of scientific research, and not having that be found out pretty quickly is exceptionally low. Remember when cigarette companies funded research that "proved" that smoking was safe? Also remember how all independent research disproved this? Same goes for fossil fuel companies funding research to "prove" that climate change isn't real.

The kind of climate change scientists worry about (yes, we know CO2 was much higher once) happen over decades.

The problem with this is that if we continue to be separated and divided, we won't focus on what truly matters, science and technology will move backward, war will continue to get in the way, and eventually either we will deprive ourselves of resources from constant war, or we'll go out with a bang, multiple of them, in a nuclear war where everyone gets tired of the opposite nations shit, or worse, we get flooded, scorched, and frozen by climate change which we have to unite together to solve.

I didn't think of it that way. It'll definitely have to wait until my kid is out of the house (a few years yet), but I could be down for this then. But the truth is: What can we do? Even if we were to stop all carbon emissions tomorrow, we're still screwed. Thwaites is about to uncork a bunch of ice. The permafrost is thawing, releasing tons of methane. The disappearing ice is going to leave darker surfaces to absorb more heat. Which is to say, we're entering a massive positive feedback cycle that will be technologically, beyond our abilities to stop. At this point, I don't think we can feasibly stop it from happening. The genie is out of the bottle. We'll have to ride it out until all those positive feedback sources run out of fuel. That'll be several decades at least. The methane will break down in 8 years or so, but it breaks down into CO2 and H2O, so that's not fantastic either. I dunno man, I think our goose is cooked. And honestly, if climate change doesn't do it, how long until a virologist, spurned by their lover, decides to manufacture a bunch of novel, contagious, and deadly viruses and release them on the public? The genomes of thousands of viruses are publicly available online. The equipment to do it could be purchased for less than the cost of a house and really, having worked in university labs, old equipment can end up in storage and people forget about it. Virologist takes the old stuff home and nobody notices. If you're asking "why would someone do that?"

Pardon, but I just wrote that science isn't consensus and you told me I'm wrong because the "overwhelming majority of scientists" drew the same conclusion. Which isn't true, but that's another issue. Science is about what can be proven because it can be measured and predicted. If it can't be predicted and measured, it's not science. And see, I remember the predictions about people having to move to Antarctica because it was going to be too hot at the equator. I remember how snow was going to be a thing of the past. I remember how the global temperature was supposed to rise between 3º to 9º by 2025. I remember how most species were supposed to perish by 1995. I remember how the Great Barrier Reef was supposed to die. Historically, about half the time science is about finding things that don't fit conventional wisdom. That has been true since at least the ancient Greeks. My best information is that anthropogenic climate change is wrong and we need to focus on things we can fix.

I have a difficult time seeing why so much ink is spilled on AI-gone-wrong extinction scenarios given the massive ongoing Anthropocene extinction event.

Before you approach moving in, I always think it's important to consider what the end goal is, and there's lots of important conversations to have. **Finances:** talk about them and agree to a plan. Joint account or no joint account? 50-50 or slightly different percentages, depending on who is making more at the time? Keep in mind that at different points in the relationship, the financial balance will shift. You may earn more for a time and then your SO might earn more for a time. The real important thing here is that you and your SO are able to adapt to the changes together (this is not just for finances, but for the marriage as a whole and your lives together). **Division of Household Labor:** self-explanatory. **Family Expectations:** Of course, this is about whether you want kids or not and also HOW to raise them. But this is also about managing your individual families. Got a toxic family member on your side? It's your responsibility to put them in their place, put up boundaries, defend your spouse. Got a toxic in-law? Your SO better be doing the same things. **Life/Career Goals:** Obviously, be supportive and be honest. You're going to talk to each other about this stuff and goals will sometimes change as circumstances change. And you are going to have your individual goals, mostly for career. Create a relationship and marriage where you both feel like you have the freedom to pursue your individual goals too, not just the shared ones. **Friendships:** Similar to Life/Career Goals. You will have shared mutual friends and then your individual friends. Once again, make sure there's a balance. Yes the majority of your time will be spent together. But for a truly healthy relationship and marriage, you need to create time and space to allow yourselves to grow as individuals. This means spending time with your friends, sometimes without your SO. So long as there's nothing shady and you trust each other, there isn't nothing to worry about. If you're unsure about a specific friend because of something communicate with your SO about your feelings. **Therapy/Marriage Counseling:** Be open to these things IF things ever get really bad in the marriage. Let your SO know before marriage that you are open to these options and ask if they are too. We cannot predict the future. Relationships and marriages go sour for all kinds of reasons and it can happen to anyone. If your SO knows that you are at least open to therapy and marriage counseling as a last resort if things ever get THAT bad, then it really establishes a certain level of trust. **Health/Food/Exercise:** Make sure you both take your health seriously, physical and mental. You obviously care about each other, but your individual health is your responsibility. How you guys do it is really up to you. If you like exercising together, that's fine. If it's better for you guys to exercise individually, that's fine too. Just as long as you both are taking care of yourself. For mental health, seek therapy when possible. **Social Issues and Politics:** While it may seem self explanatory, a lot of people don't always know where their partners stand on hot button issues. If you two had a kid that came out as gay or trans or anywhere else on the LGBT2SQ+ spectrum, how would that be handled? How do you two want to discuss things like systemic racism? How do you both feel about the climate crisis? etc. **End of Life and Medical Decisions:** This probably feels like a very far off thing but understanding each other's needs and wants when it comes to quality of life is important. You two will have medical power of attorney over the other and knowing what your partner wants and does not want is critical. **Now you might be thinking: "Coastal, these are huge topics, we're just moving in together" and you're right but all too often people progress relationships to moving in without thinking about some of the bigger picture things. It's better to discuss this stuff now when you're in an international LDR rather than when you're local and in a tricky situation.** Otherwise, my standard copy and paste advice is as follows: Whether you’ve lived with a partner before or not, there’s lots of important questions to ask when you’re closing the distance and having someone move to you, or moving to them. Here are a few things to consider when you’re broaching the subject T**he Biggest One:** Who is moving, what does the visa/moving process look like, and what financials do you need to make this work. Let’s be real, logistics aren’t sexy, but they’re what will make this dream come true. It’s important to ask these questions to work through who it makes the most sense to move. **Some Other Logistical Questions:** * Timeline: what is a realistic timeline to make this happen, what obligations need to be met prior to closing the distance * Living situation: are you moving in together or living separate for a while? Are you finding a new apartment all together or staying in your SO's old place? * Finances: how do you plan to split bills, cost of the visas or moving costs etc. Is this a financially viable time to move? After you’ve explored the facts, it’s time to have some tough conversations about what could happen during the process of closing the distance and after. Consider having some of these bigger picture conversations. * What happens if your significant other is failing to thrive in their new "home"? (Can't find a job, struggling to make friends, is generally homesick and miserable, etc.) It’s not something anyone really wants to think about but it is a reality. It’s wise to contemplate what you would do before you get down the rabbit hole and realize that you’re stuck. * What is your vague relationship timeline/goals? Do you want kids in the next year or two? A house? Make sure you're on the same page with what should be joined goals. * Are you both willing to make some sacrifices? If it's better for your SO to live in a big city rather than your hometown due to career or schooling opportunities, are you willing to try moving there? Sometimes closing the distance doesn’t always mean exactly where you or they currently are, moving to a third city is sometimes the most beneficial and rarely something couples contemplate. * What are your realistic expectations for living together? When you’re visiting your SO, you’re likely not experiencing their real every day life and you won't be in vacation mode, so what does a normal M-F look like to the two of you? And do your individual lifestyles compliment or clash with each other?

Politics is the art of the possible. It isn't necessarily what your opinions are or how you "come across" it is what you can get PASSED. I don't know that any other candidates could have gotten the things passed that Biden did. Bernie Sanders may hold opinions closer to many on this subreddit including myself, but that doesn't mean if Bernie has been in Biden's place he would gotten any of these things passed much less anything to the left of Biden which I guarantee what have been shot down (free college, UBI, etc.). This is what made someone like President Johnson in the U.S. in the 1960's such a badass. He was EFFECTIVE. He could sell ice water to people in the Arctic as it were. ​ BTW, I don't think a lot of younger people can appreciate the big deal that bargaining for prescription drug prices is. I've watch bills for this come up to Congress since the 1990's and ALWAYS get handily defeated. And we're talking getting downvotes by DEMOCRATS as well as Republicans. Prescription drugs are about 10% of total health care costs so this is a BIG DEAL. An although the climate change legislation obviously doesn't go as far as many of us would want it's remarkable he was able to get it passed with a Senate evenly split.

the second you see that sum in your crypto wallet make sure you have the seed imprinted in your memory and burn it, you pack a light bag, make a 1 min video of your stuff (so you can buy them again later if you want), head out the door and get straight to the airport. Take the first flight to a non extradition country, and when you get off the plane just chill at a hotel for a week, order room service and make some plans. Choose between a hot climate country, or Switzerland. That kinda cash will give you residency. Change your name and start your new life. Also make sure you transfer all your crypto holdings (slowly but surely) into other asset classes. Also, rent and lease, don‘t buy and own your house or car. ps (a harder pill to swallow): take a deep breath and get accustomed to the thought that you‘ll never tell anybody about this. try to blend in as much as possible for the rest of your new life. You got a second chance, a new beginning, a way out of the shackles of the financial system you were born in. Keep a low profile, and in exchange, you‘ll be moderately to very happy and stress free for the rest of your life. Remember Walter White‘s experience of disappearing?

It doesn't matter if your car doesn't directly burn fossil fuel, because the facility that provides your electric one with power DOES burn it. How are you this fucking stupid? And how is this article disproving climate change? Perhaps if the US didn't have SO many fucking cars and perhaps more public transport, you wouldn't be in such a mess.

Capitalism = endless growth and resource extraction mindset. The earth = finite resources and sensitive natural systems. Capitalism has done a lot to raise the standard of living in developed countries but the vast majority of GHG emissions are by large companies, many of which promoted false claims with regards to the climate. So I think it is fair to blame unregulated capitalism on this front. Really with regards to protecting the environment we need much stronger regulation. A hypothetical non capitalist government is still going to emit a lot assuming it is an industrial superpower, the industries would just be state owned. However there is greater potential for regulation in that environment. Individual climate action is negligible in terms of impact. If you want to live more sustainably that’s great but without action on these mega corporations overall climate outlook will not change. Ironically the US government is currently propping up non renewable sources of energy with massive subsidies and many politicians from both major parties take money from coal and oil lobbyists.

Excuse me, I went out to buy groceries. So, we have a comment composed of assertions of unidentified types of fallacies without providing argumentation or support for these assertions. If we must use youtube skeptic bro language, this is itself an informal fallacy, called [proof by assertion fallacy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_assertion) Calling something you dont like a fallacy doesnt automatically make it so, you need to substantiate it. Next we have several really overt strawmen of my position, so let me first clear those. **Strawman 1;** >dictatorships and mass executions I do not advocate dictatorships, nor do i advocate "mass executions of government members". I am not a bolshevik. You are gonna have to step up your game and argue against my actual position, if we want to have a genuine discussion. Make sure to argument however, why we should sit and hardcore oppose action putside of electoralism, wasting now more than 40 years on a fantasy, when the systemic violence that goes on due to that inaction outweighs even the more visible revolutionary violence. And just as a reminder, make sure to not strawman me so absurdly this time. **Strawman 2;** >Theres not going to be a global socialist revolution in the next 10 years -> strawmanning me as anti-reform You are again arguing against a strawman. Even my comment above very clearly states i support reforms. I dont _only_ support (minor) reforms, as I also do not oppose revolution, but again, i definitely support reforms through electoralism. So i just so happen to advocate additional action outside electoralism, especially building mutual aid community networks, the only safety mechanism able to withstand the shocks of climate change. That type of action is even extremely peaceful :). The third paragraph is so hilariously absurd that i had to read it twice to make sure i wasnt missing a point there somewhere. Given that you are for some reason mentioning lightbulbs, lets take them as an example. So tell me, where do these "swedish lightbulbs" (?? lol) actually come from. Who extracted the rare earth elements for the electronics portion of the bulb for example? Spoiler: not swedes, rather slave kids in third world nations. And, where do these electronics go (dangerous waste) once used up? is it perhaps sent to Southeast asia to be picked apart by, again, slaves, wearing no protection and being chronically poisoned? Heres some info on what happens to that swedish e-waste; https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/children-and-digital-dumpsites-e-waste-and-health and: http://www.redlogenv.com/environmental/the-challenge-of-e-waste-management-in-developing-countries And if i can just politely ask here, but please spare me the youtube skeptic bro language with unnamed unspecified asserted "fallacies". No one of the few individuals ive encountered using them on political reddit knew how to actually use these terms. Just underline what is wrong hah.

Now you're just pontificating. Please present a coherent argument for why you believe that a severe heatwave, one of the worst on record, which reportedly increased death rates by 7% in some regions, is not related to climate change.

Here's some fun. Take a look at snowfalls and green Christmases in Canada. Can you spot a trend? Almost every city is experiencing less snow on average and more Green Christmases. It's especially worse in some areas. [https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/weather-general-tools-resources/historical-christmas-snowfall-data.html](https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/weather-general-tools-resources/historical-christmas-snowfall-data.html) Check out change of frequency, snow depth in the past, and green Christmases. Sarnia is nice, 6 in 30 years, then 21 green Christmases in the past 30. How many cities on there are having more snow now?

I'm not running from anything. I haven't expressed a single clear position in this thread other than our politicians are clearly failing us on the topic of climate change. Which is the truth. You keep saying "conservatives conservatives conservatives conservatives conservatives conservatives conservatives conservatives conservatives conservatives conservatives conservatiiiiiiives!!!1!!" While the evidence now clearly shows that both major parties are very much guilty of not doing much of anything useful. You can say "Yeah but cOnSeRvAtIvEs aRe WoRsE!!1!" Until the cows come home if you want but all you sound like is a broken record. Our emissions have increased since signing the Paris Accord. The promise to plant 10 million trees has turned into less than 200k trees in the ground many years into Trudeau's reign. Not much of anything has been done to bring back manufacturing to Canada, instead we're relying on cross ocean trade more than ever before. Trudeau is constantly flying everywhere for vanity pet projects. Your spooky conservatives have been out of power for 7 years. Are you able to look at the past 7 years without blurting out something about the cons? Trudeau had a majority, got nothing done except make things more expensive. Then Trudeau made an alliance with the NDP and still not much of anything has been done. So all your obsessive yelling about conservatives is only showing one thing: you are wearing your tribal blinders and seem to have nothing serious to bring to the conversation.

Probably not too much. Sindh Province has received 784% higher than average rain while Baluchistan received 500%. In Monsoon season. So yeah, that’s gonna do damage no matter what. Climate change almost certainly caused that.

I commuted by bike several years during grad school in Louisiana. Advice to "just ride slowly" does absolutely nothing lol since in this climate we start sweating immediately after stepping outside the house. This will be slightly harder if you're an undergrad and thus don't have dedicated office space like I did to store stuff, but here were the crucial things for me that made bike commutes tolerable during the hell period of May to late November: * **Bring a change of underwear** \-- this is relatively easy since it's small and you can just stuff it into your backpack. (You specified F, so I'd recommend commuting in a sports bra if that's your thing and also changing that once you arrive.) Most days I didn't bring a whole change of clothes, not even a new shirt. It's amazing how far simply dry underwear will go to making you much more comfortable throughout the day. * **Quick sink bath** \-- as soon as you arrive on campus and lock up your bike, find a good restroom where you can run your wrists under the cold tap for a minute (this really helps you stop sweating faster, unless the "cold" tap is lukewarm in the summer like in LA, which is super annoying), and then get some damp paper towels and wipe down your sweatiest parts before changing clothes (see previous point). The key here is to try to start the cooling down/stop sweating process asap because otherwise sponging off with paper towels won't do any good. * **Bring deodorant** \-- since you don't have an office, just keep a travel deodorant in your backpack. * Stay in a building with good A/C for a while, until you thoroughly cool down. YMMV depending on your class schedule, of course. In grad school there was a coffee shop on the edge of campus that I'd go to early in the morning to work for a while, then ride/walk my bike to the office later.

My understanding is that California has a special exemption to create its own independent set of rules that no other state has (due to the severe pollution issues we’ve had in the past). This was the path they had open to them to improve Virginia’s system so they took it. Youngkin certainly doesn’t care about climate change or Virginia’s environment.

Sounds like we have 20 years to even begin to fix climate change. Because that's what that pipe dream would mean.

🇮🇸 Iceland would be my choice, but I don't care for the much cold weather. But with climate change it might be just right.
