Yeah, the climate system annoys me. Seems like any options other than "no control" and "manually do lots of crap" just don't exist. The auto is pretty good most of the time (change the temp to ramp up the ac) but, when you need to try and tweak it to avoid frosting the windows, hugely annoying. The menus on the front display are bad. Took me a while to get rid of the trip display last time I looked at it. I only see the seat belt thing when someone's NOT buckled though, and it goes away in a sec just like the beeping. My car has blind spot detection...I'm kinda shocked it's not standard!

> I disagree that the science is settled You can disagree all you want, but your belief still isn't supported by the evidence. There are certainly active areas of research in the climate sciences, but... ... given the 100+ years of research that's already gone into the question of "can CO2 levels cause significant climate change", and, ... given the absolutely enormous amount of evidence accumulated as a result of that century of research, and ... given how that evidence points pretty conclusively to the answer "yes".... .... there's very little ongoing original research into that particular question. And that's simply a matter of fact, easy to check if you read the scientific literature.

They tend to reject any modern scientific thought that doesn’t fit with their current beliefs or presents a problem they’d rather ignore, like climate change, vaccines and evolution. They embrace anything that reinforces those beliefs or promises them more power, like military advancements.

Climate change has the *potential* for long-term damage, which humanity will handily survive. Nuclear extinction was imminent and barely avoided by a single person acting against standing policies *multiple times*. Murders were double. Terrorism was 4-5x worse. Crime was double. Health outcomes were twice as bad. There's a reason 80s cinema was dystopian: the 70s and 80s were *actually way worse* than the preceding decades, and we've improved so much since then. Just one single data point to provide context for how bad these two decades were: in eighteen months starting in 1971, the US experienced 2,872 terrorist bombings. This was the peak, but you can see the kind of scale we're dealing with.

Perhaps it's just naietevy. The most dangerous thing to people in Western nations is heart disease. Obesity rates are still increasing and people consume sugary and super fatty food nonstop. The simplest solution is just to not eat the food, but that's not going to happen. The only time climate change is relevant to the individual action is going to be when it's too late. The ethics of animal consumption is far less relevant to people's enjoyment of meat. That's why the real solutions start from the very top. There's no precedence ever in human history of people sacrificing en-mass for the greater good.

> We live in an interconnected global economy, if a country has a failed crop other countries can chip in to help So this issue with crops failing is starting to happen *everywhere*. What happens when every country has massive crop failures in the next few years? America, for instance, is somewhat insulated from this as it already overproduces and has massive food exports - so it's more likely to first be seen in smaller countries such as, say, Japan or England. Yes, we have "just figured something out" in the past as a way of survival but we've 1) never had a population as big as we currently do and 2) never had these issues on a *global* scale in the last 70 years? ...Technically, I don't think we've had global famines in the last few hundred years - let alone now with our global supply chains. What you're downplaying is that there will be famine - likely on a massive scale that gets worse, with more and more desperate and scared people... Everywhere. Maybe we'll bounce back but like, we very well might not bounce back as well. It's *bad* and downplaying the danger of climate change is fucking insane. Edit: I'm gonna block insane people, yes.

I mean, there's evidence the Earth is flat, too. Just look at the horizon. Does it look curved? The evidence against man-made climate change is similar - it requires a myopic view that either ignores or distorts the vast bulk of the scientific evidence. Scientists spent much of the 1900s hashing this issue out, and finally got good enough data in the 1950s-1970s to finally come to a conclusion. And its not like another 50 years of even *more* data has changed that. On the contrary, it's firmed up even more.

Lack of action on climate change is going to cause death on a devastating scale much sooner than we think. Not everyone should have children. In fact, many people who do, should not. It would benefit society to screen people before they begin producing.

Although the film crew swore up and down they didn't do *anything* to upset the walruses? The facts are different: (This is aside from the fact they spliced footage from TWO different areas and pretended it was one area) - there were polar bears at the top. - they buzzed the walruses with drones frequently. - they set up cameras FAR too close to the ramp the walruses use to get down from there - walruses have been using that area (up at the top) for as long as we know, it isn't a "new thing" - walrus numbers shrink and grow quite a bit, and numbers have been duly noted by every explorer of the area. Sometimes huge 'haul outs' like what was filmed, other times hardly any, long before climate change started. - early explorers noted how polar bears liked to scare walruses over cliffs because in huge herds they're quite dangerous, so it's safe and easy :> Attenborough refused to discuss the matter, ever. BUT he did use footage (taken at that time, not new stuff) in a later documentary showing the bears & drones that the film crew swore weren't there...

I understand your concerns about depopulation, but my brother in christ you're schizoposting. what the fuck have the malthusian's done to you? I've never heard of them before in my life, and the dude's been getting discredited since his works have come out. Anti-Natalism isn't exactly a super popular philsophy either, and is generally seen as radically and wacky. I'm not sure why you think homosexuality is such a big problem either. the ratio of gay to straight people in the world is incredibly skewed toward straight people, and its hard to truly "convert" to homosexuality if you aren't already attracted to the same sex. gender transition among kids is generally frowned upon as well. if you're worried that abortion is causing a net decline in child brith, then I hate to break it to you but they're still at most 5 times less common than child births experts are really pushing population reduction as a strong solution to climate change either - its mostly just untrustworthy twitter warriors and don't get me started on the MAP shit - the amount of shit getting thrown at these guys is so massive there is no concievable way that normalization could ever realistically happen (THANK GOD) I also agree with a lot Mighty-Lu-Bu said as well, but I think it's a little far out there to claim that a lot of what he said is being pushed maliciously. Most people who are into politics are just trying to make the world a better place, people who's endgoal is to exterminate or maliciously harm people who disagree with them is fairly rare. ​ tldr: touch grass.

Well they're not really talking about a 1 year return when the conversation is about buying into the stock market 88 years ago... With climate change, if you somehow had the ability to store and keep millions of gallons of water fresh and drinkable, you would probably make a killing in the next century from it. Especially in areas where droughts are going to become more common. Regardless, you do actually see it. Companies like Nestle spend a ton of money and effort buying water rights because it will be more profitable later.

Have you read the study you linked? The risk factors dependent on climate change are so insignificant and hard to detect that they are not even discussed in the conclusion of the study. It’s only speculated that climate change might have an effect because it’s correlated with risk factors but proper causation is never established and it’s effect is not even estimated.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/bitfriend6: --- Submission statement: Keeping with "future studies", the relevant part here are actually comments made in regards to a different [article on the same subject regarding California's Diablo Canyon NPP](https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article265085449.html) made by Sen. Dianne Fienstien: >Feinstein notes in her letter that since the 2016 decision to shutter the plant, the effects of climate change have led to both increased need for energy and reduced energy output from the state’s hydropower sources due to drought. >*“In August 2020, extreme heat led to electricity shortages and the first rolling blackouts in the state since the 2001 energy crisis. The consequences would have been even more severe without the electricity from Diablo Canyon,” she wrote. [...] “At this time, the alternative to the closure of the reactors at Diablo Canyon will most likely be additional natural gas generation, which would reverse progress on emissions reductions and worsen air quality. The state would be better served by a temporary extension of an existing carbon-free resource,”* On a higher level there is a greater turn towards new nuclear: the NRC approved a new [fuel reactor](https://www.neimagazine.com/news/newsx-energy-considers-further-development-of-high-temperature-gas-reactor-9953847) in Washington State while [Saskatchewan](https://www.power-eng.com/nuclear/ge-hitachi-smr-chosen-for-potential-deployment-in-saskatchewan/) and [Tennessee](https://www.power-eng.com/nuclear/tva-working-toward-potential-deployment-of-ge-hitachi-smr/) will get our first Gen-4 small modular reactors online in about a decade. Climate change is now permanent. As it gets worse, it's probable that the public will become more tolerant of nuclear energy if not also approving of it. Whether or not that means anything will be up to the electrical engineers, physicists and machinists entering college today. --- Please reply to OP's comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/x2p9bs/why_even_environmentalists_are_supporting_nuclear/imkt5vz/

That’s when you tune them out, though they are more civilized. Their problem is they are the educators. Then, when you say education should be free or open to all classes (including the ones they themselves build, although they are no terrorists, big oil (big pharma, all the bigs), you will find resistance. The most powerful have the most money, the least debt and that is of importance over the others in their class. Either that, or it threatens their business and future, which is always ironic considering some would die for climate change yet never consider those who lose jobs from coal plants. Has anyone figured out who to listen to/ recommend anything once you are past the Conservatives, the Democrats, and the liberals? I know there are good people in all political groups, but it does get pretty ugly once you see through liberals.

It much more complicated than that. Climate change isn’t ”everywhere getting hotter”, just at this time it is getting hotter on average. Some places will get cooler than average, while other get hotter on average. Some places will receive more rain then they would historically get while others will get less. there will be more extreme will get even more extreme on average. In terms of earths history this isn’t going to be abnormal. To to inconstant orbital patterns and tilt the seasonal patterns and temperature change in different areas. As land masses move, ice cover changes, and ocean current change, so does the way heat radiates across the earth and rains distribute. There are many more factors involved. The one that is changing dangerously fast right now is atmospheric composition with green house gases slowing the radiation of heat and creating positive feed back loop as we loas our most reflective surface(ice) and gain more of the earths least reflective surface(water). Another big deal is the loss of permafrost mostly in canada, greens land, and Russia which releases methane which further increase green house gases, another positive feed back loop. So while changes in the past 100 years have been inconvenient, given current trends that are expected to get worse as a higher rate as time goes on things will get very dramatic very fast. While it’s noraml for earths climate to change it is not normal for human civilization to face climate change, we simply lack the ability to cope with the oncoming disasters. In 30-60 years 4-5 billion people will live, work, and depend on food in deltas. As ocean levels continue to rise these low lying deltas will be over come with sea water. This will result in the mass displacement of said billions, most likely to become homeless and jobless because at this rate we won’t have the infrastructure and housing adequate when it happens. The delta also make up a large portion of the farmland the world depends on which will result in mass starvation for many of those billions and anyone else that depended on the surplus of said deltas. The option could very well be to let them starve or accept mass food shortages for everyone, either way it won’t be pretty or peaceful. This is just the deltas, less predictable changes in seasonal patterns everywhere else will result in even worse production capabilities. It will be at this time people realize you can’t eat money as there will be plenty of that and not enough resources. At the very least crime will skyrocket but it would be amazing if we didn’t suffer economic collapses for the record books. It not that life won’t go on or that humanity won’t adapt eventually. But in the short term we will suffer greatly. Not that the old, wealthy, and powerful of today will be bothered as they will be dead, and they know that.

Turns out when you ignore environmentalists, scientists and evidence about climate change and refuse to invest in renewables on a National scale, when the oil starts to run out and the air is nasty to breathe, the only option you have left is nuclear or societal breakdown. And I’d still pick societal breakdown. Environmentalists are not choosing nuclear because its clean or safe. Lobbyists have made sure it’s the only option on the table.

Technically, our only chance to avert climate change *is* radically changing our way if life as a civilization in an unprecedented way that has never been done before. Option A is a mass extinction event, the first of which has been caused by a single species. Option B is a revolution in morality and reliance on mass industrial capitalism, which allows us to advance our technology in order to access the right tools to reduce the damage and work towards something better Option C is divine intervention.

That has to do with some of it, however california has been dealing with these issues for decades, long before global warming or climate change was a buzzword. People fail to remember that most of california was arid before they tapped the aquifer for crops in the early 20th century. They have been over used and abused, which has caused the aquifers to get compacted losing that storage space for water.

He suggested something in the atmosphere must be acting like an insulating blanket. In 1856, Eunice Foote discovered that blanket, showing that carbon dioxide and water vapor in Earth's atmosphere trap escaping infrared (heat) radiation. > In the 1860s, physicist John Tyndall recognized Earth's natural greenhouse effect and suggested that slight changes in the atmospheric composition could bring about climatic variations. In 1896, a seminal paper by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius first predicted that changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could substantially alter the surface temperature through the greenhouse effect. > In 1938, Guy Callendar connected carbon dioxide increases in Earth’s atmosphere to global warming. In 1941, Milutin Milankovic linked ice ages to Earth’s orbital characteristics. Gilbert Plass formulated the Carbon Dioxide Theory of Climate Change in 1956. Science has known for almost 200 years but no one wanted to hear it and they still don't. They won't believe it right up until the flood waters wash away their houses or the rivers and lakes dry up and the underground aquifers fail. Or they die in a massive months long heat wave. The whole mass of humanity in this world, every worker, every CEO, every billionaire in every single country, no exceptions would have to come together to solve this problem. To think that would ever happen is laughable and its way to late in the game now anyway.

Unfortunately there’s no economic insentive so the people who actually do the damage, large companies and governments, will do nothing while trying to pin it on the people who even if they stopped all of their emissions would have no effect on the rate of climate change

My favorite part about climate change is that, it doesn't matter whether you believe in it or not. It is reality. Reality doesn't give a shit about what anyone believes.

I envision a world where technological innovation has solved climate change and improved living standards at the same time. * People drive ultra-efficient electric cars, the cost of energy is low as it is effortlessly produced via renewable sources and stored through hydrogen, as well as through fourth generation nuclear reactors and possibly fusion power, and people can travel around the world at low cost, guilt-free, as planes would run on hydrogen fuel. * The environment is being taken care of. Plastic has been removed from the oceans at a tremendous rate, and international conservation efforts for numerous species are becoming immensely successful. Cities are much cleaner than they are today, with vastly improved recycling rates, litter almost eradicated, and people bring their own containers to supermarkets to prevent waste. Revolutions in agricultural technology have made it far cheaper and less land intensive to produce food, with synthetic meat largely replacing the consumption of animal products. Geo-engineering projects are underway to reverse climate change. * The dominance of big tech, pharmaceutical, and other predatory monopolies has evaporated, with government forcing corporations to serve the public interest and play by the rules. This will lead to reduced costs, increased innovation, and the end of surveillance capitalism by big tech. * Healthcare is free (or very cheap and no upfront costs) and of fantastic quality throughout the western world. * Through medical innovation, we have found cures for the vast majority of illnesses. * There is a renaissance in social housing projects, which allows young people to get onto the property ladder. * There has been an unparalleled economic boom across the world and an explosion in living standards without associated destruction of the environment. * The internet lives up to its 1990s potential, as a place where ideas can be freely exchanged and where products you previously had to pay for can be accessed free of charge or at very low cost. Open source becomes the ethos of the era, with AI systems controlled by a patchwork of different forces, to prevent monopolization over public life. * Democracy has dramatically improved. The First Past the Post electoral system is mostly a thing of the past, democracy vouchers empower ordinary people and destroy the stranglehold the ultra-wealthy have had on the democratic process for so long, allowing for politicians to truly serve the public interest and not the interests of rich donors, and open selections of candidates by various means are the norm. Judicial systems have been de-politicized, and there is an increasing awareness about the need for independent institutions to preserve democracy. * The United States undertakes a major democratic reforming process, successfully solving most of its vast structural issues through a variety of intelligent policies. It becomes a force for progress on the world stage, witnessing a renaissance in innovation and revival of a sense of optimism so prevalent in the 1980s and 1990s. * The EU survives, though also democratises and made more accountable to its citizens. * Birthrates in western nations are on the upswing, exceeding the 2.1 replacement rate. * Free speech makes a revival, woke identity politics dramatically declines. Youngest generation are significantly less woke than their parents. Woke ideas such as gender fluidity and critical race theory are discredited and die , with culture reverting to how it essentially was in the 1990s. * There is a revival in civil society, with social media experiencing a significant backlash. Whilst technology is utilized when needed, in person contact becomes the new 'thing' for the youngest generation. * Starship has revolutionized space travel. It becomes far cheaper to launch into space; with a boom in the space travel industry without associated problems with space junk, which has been successfully dealt with. Numerous bases exist on the Moon and Mars, we have sent a submarine probe to Europa, and have possibly discovered the existence of alien life.

Listen, I’m sympathetic to your last line, but I’m poor and I’m not hugely in favor of building there. I think we can step away from the cynicism and realize that many people don’t want to destroy what is now a habitat for many wildlife/plants. I don’t feel like getting into a huge argument over this. I agree boulder needs far more housing. But why does it feel like the choice has to be “build on this pristine beautiful area or no housing at all”? It’s 2022. Climate change is showing us what a culture of constant growth results in. I would rather the city and it’s people think of utilizing already built space for housing. Look at any shopping plaza in town. It’s fucking packed with empty commercial space. Why can’t we rezone that? What was the Whole Foods over by baseline has been empty for like a decade. It’s a massive building, just sitting there, doing nothing. CU wants dorms? Tear down the presidents house and turn that into housing for students. Could do minimal interference on the open space there, it’s already next to other housing… but no, the president needs his own house I’m sure he never lives in. This debate is frustrating to me, because people make it seems like it’s black and white. I want more housing. I don’t want to build in an open space that will be lost forever, when we have TONS of empty housing and already developed empty space. The solution to housing in the US isn’t to just completely spread and spread. The problem the US PRIMARILY has is one of greed. We don’t have a supply problem, we have a hoarding problem. A hoarding of existing space. I won’t go into The flood mitigation stuff, but it involves damming, and while I’m not an engineer, I know of at least a few phds in the area who are opposed to damming. And from the plans I saw, the dam was not adequate for freak weather events. Damming seems like a pretty idiotic idea when 20-30 years climate might be placing unprecedented and unpredictable scenarios on our infrastructure. Idk mate. I’m not like vehemently opposed. But it’s not just a nimby issue. And I think in general, we all need to think harder about maybe our solutions should be to reorient what we have, rather than to repeat the error of constant expansion. Because without going into the more radical stuff, truth is, there’s more empty housing than there is homeless people. Currently.

Also that at the rate we're killing the planet, we're long past the point of turning back. Obviously, climate change is already devastating people globally, but, uh, it's going to get apocalypse-level bad, and humans are never going to be the ones to fix it. Nature is just going to wipe a bunch of us out and the remaining population will live in the more habitable areas for however many thousand years until we can repopulate and do the whole thing over again. Climate activism on this scale would have been great about 150 years ago. Pity.

Climate change has stopped literally nobody from exploiting their oil. If it was supposed to be a ploy, it failed pretty fucking miserably. Incidentally, the advent of renewable energy has meant many developing nations with rich mineral deposits have benefited financially (when the US isn’t brazenly overthrowing their governments to get at it, of course). So your argument that it’s a plot to cripple developing nations is again baseless. CO2, methane, and other byproducts of human industry are targeted because they are the ones we are producing at a colossal industrial scale. Water vapour, unlike these gases, is not an issue because it turns back into water very easily and quickly: That’s where rain comes from. It is estimated that humans currently produce 3% of all carbon emissions on Earth. That’s 3% more per annum than what nature was accomodating for before human industrialisation. If you think that doesn’t sound like a lot, run it through an interest calculator for a hundred years.

It's been looked into many times, and always decided as not the best path. Particularly because of climate change and traffic problems, things like cycling are something we want to increase, and creating barriers like licensing hurts that. (There's also the fact that a police officer should be ticketing people and you don't need a plate to do that, but with traffic cameras that's a less relevant issue.) The issue is that roads and traffic laws have largely not been designed with cyclists in mind, and so cyclists ignore rules that actively put them in more danger, which many of the legal rules of the road as they stand do. Some are definitely aggressive and reckless, but they are and will remain a minority as cycling expands.

There's some optimism, despite the whole idea of seff-destructing a planet to make a few rich who continue to rule because they say so.

Thank you for responding in a friendly manner friend! Data is driven by money, and money goes to those scientists who support the concept of climate change caused by human actions! All other data about climate change, meaning change which is naturally occurring does not get published. It just doesn't. Like covid information, it is censored. Censored, completely! Antarctica was reported to have a 400 ft loss in Mass on the Eastern side two or three years ago. The interesting part, was that the 800 ft gain on the western side of Antarctica was ignored.

Of course not. Okay, I should've been more specific: the air pollution (displayed as smog) shown in pic 1, is caused by airborne particles (visible), and climate change is caused by greenhouse gas (invisible). There are industries that do both at the same time, however, greenhouse gas is not airborne particles and does not cause smog, nor the airborne particles cause climate change, therefore these two parameters are conventionally counted separately when discussing the environmental impact. And overuse is not pollution by definition since it does not input any substance into the environment.

Interesting to note how professor Wolff highlights worker cooperatives as an alternative to capitalism, though I suppose it makes sense considering 1) the theme of the talk he was giving (Democracy at Work), and 2) the fact that he’s speaking directly to employees of one of the worlds most prominent corporations. That being said, it’s not at all clear that capitalism and its ill effects can be entirely addressed via a coordinated transformation of private, capitalist firms into democratic worker coops. What’s to become of the firms that play an outsized role in the production of fossil fuels? Isn’t it safe to assume the workers of those companies would struggle to maintain the relevance of their industry despite its harmful affects? Democratizing the firms of the fossil fuel industry wouldn’t address the problem of climate change, it doesn’t seem, because it would be in the interest of the workers, despite the workplace democratization, to continue to extract, produce, and sell fossil fuels. There is also the problem of cooperatives having to compete globally within a global capitalist framework. It’s not at all clear that all/every cooperative across all industries would have the ability to compete with capitalist firms - and thus be successful- in the same way Mondragon has.

There's a whole lot more to climate action than electric vehicles. But I always expected a shift to EVs would ***also*** entail a shift in infrastructure. Rapid Charging Stations would supplant Gas Stations, and you'd pay to charge like you'd pay to fill. This solves your "street parking" problem. What it doesn't solve is battery life, storage capacity, or how you're going to afford a new car. I definitely see issues with EVs, but I'm an engineer. These are the kind of challenges I try to solve at work everyday. I don't think they're insurmountable. But there's also a point that EVs are still personal vehicles. And there's plenty of things we can do to make cities more walkable, public transit more viable, and car ownership less required culturally. OK, now to the government. I agree with you. Especially this part: >The federal government should focus on their own house too. Not just try to change what the citizens are doing. Part of "their own house" is corporate accountability. And I'm saying all three - individual, governmental, and corporate - need to prioritize climate action. I'm already in support of governmental action on their polluting practices, particularly with regard to the military. But on the corporate side, we have a LOT of emissions generated by freight ships (3% worldwide), as an example. No particular company is individually responsible, but everyone using those ships is. So that's something that needs to be prioritized by businesses in general. Another example is livestock. Cattle is especially bad for the environment, because of their flatulence. Measures like using alternative meats (e.g. chicken, lamb, pork), meat alternatives (e.g. Impossible or Beyond "meats"), or alternative proteins (e.g. soy, nuts) are potentially effective at the consumer business level (think restaurants and caterers). But there's also efforts like dietary supplements that can reduce flatulence, and therefore emissions, at a corporate level. Those are the kinds of measures I mean. Corporate prioritization across the board needs to be one of these branches of climate action. And so do individual and governmental action.

Now you've gone from Pagan Earth worship to science worship. Just so you understand, science is just the process of testing and disproving. So because I disagree, makes me more scientifically minded than people like you who look at a chart and think it's the Bible. Nothing you've provided proves me wrong. You're looking at a scale of 10,000 years. A blip in geological time scale. Even a million years is. I also *never claimed that climate change isn't real.* I simply disagree that it's going to be catastrophic for the earth or the human species. You're also completely disregarding the fact that our weather is largely determined by the sun, which goes through cycles. Coral reefs are actually growing in many places. We have more trees now than 100 years ago. Plant yields will grow. Oceans are going to slowly, very slowly, rise. It will be so slow that it won't be a problem for people to relocate if necessary, but even still, plenty of countries (like the Netherlands) already exist well below sea level. None of these climate models even consider human ingenuity or mitigation efforts. I'm much more concerned about over fishing, than I am about climate change. I'll be long dead and the temperature will have risen a whopping 2-3 degrees centigrade. Furthermore, these models are notoriously inaccurate. 50 years ago, we were all told that all of the evidence points to the Earth cooling and drying. They were telling people in GB to start planting succulents because it'll be so dry.

Climate change is the fascism of weather. Anything I don't like can be attributed to it.

Lol I did notice that his predictions didn’t age well, but to be fair, no one saw Covid coming when it did and I seriously doubt Biden would be president without it. He does talk about the hegemon issue a bit in the video I posted with Varoufakis, and makes some really bold predictions about the shape of global economics in the future during his presentation 10 minutes or so in. The inflation issue is strange, but seems to be a common one among economists. Varoufakis makes the claim in a discussion with Chomsky that economics is a religion with numbers based on an idealized universe that lead to nowhere and that policy makers don’t listen to their own economists anyway lol. I feel like Blyth is sort of a new deal Democrat with a real apathetic bent except when it comes to technology overcoming climate change at the last second.

We have responded to COVID far more effectively than we have ever responded to climate change or are likely to (ozone layer is one counter example).

Should have posted this to Lasko's original statement, but the information I presented is useful to others who would find it interesting and use it to male that statement elsewhere where it could dispell other propaganda efforts. I'll start breathing slowly again when we aren't threatened with riots/civil war for fair judicial process of criminal acts; his buddy isn't using 5 nuclear reactors as cover for his bullying and both aren't raising propagandized, unresearching, gullible people with more weapons/person & a believed (not based on facts but propaganda by corporations and mega rich to divert attention from their corruption, pollution, tax cuts, tax scams and loopholes) anger to eliminate the government, non-white, LGBTQ+, poor/homeless/hungry, female, non-radical "Christian," liberal/progressive/environmental people, proven factual media to force their beliefs, found to be mostly fascist https://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/fasci14chars.html , unconstitutional, undemocratic and illegal, upon all violating the freedom that they claimed to prevent themselves from allowing their death from Covid. Sorry, I forgot the election deniers who may become Secretaries of State, Governors and State & US Reps and Sens in gerrymandered districts allowed by a SCOTUS off the rails of law that could successfully throw 2024 off the democracy rails. With history, the implications are horrifying. I am suffering also because of the remaining Trump China tariffs; climate change causing higher food prices-low crop yields; price gouging by corporations & a war by Putin because of Trumps empowerment of them to feel they could do what they want. I'll do that later, I have to get ready for 1 of my two full time jobs.

For the most part, people stick to the same state but I’ve heard of people moving around state a lot. With that being said, the 2 most common reasons I’d hear people moving for are work or change of climate

EVs arent meant to save the planet from climate change (too late for that), its meant for the car industry to keep their iron grip on our infrastructure. At best, mass EV adoption may slow down climate change for a few years. If you want to talk about progress and saving the planet then you would be talking about de-growth.

Climate change isn’t gonna end the world unless we do absolutely nothing and try to make it worse, and even then it’d only destroy our modern civilization, there will ofc be a ton of bad things happening if we don’t try and stop climate change faster but they aren’t civilization ending from what I’ve seen.

Submission statement: Keeping with "future studies", the relevant part here are actually comments made in regards to a different [article on the same subject regarding California's Diablo Canyon NPP](https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article265085449.html) made by Sen. Dianne Fienstien: >Feinstein notes in her letter that since the 2016 decision to shutter the plant, the effects of climate change have led to both increased need for energy and reduced energy output from the state’s hydropower sources due to drought. >*“In August 2020, extreme heat led to electricity shortages and the first rolling blackouts in the state since the 2001 energy crisis. The consequences would have been even more severe without the electricity from Diablo Canyon,” she wrote. [...] “At this time, the alternative to the closure of the reactors at Diablo Canyon will most likely be additional natural gas generation, which would reverse progress on emissions reductions and worsen air quality. The state would be better served by a temporary extension of an existing carbon-free resource,”* On a higher level there is a greater turn towards new nuclear: the NRC approved a new [fuel reactor](https://www.neimagazine.com/news/newsx-energy-considers-further-development-of-high-temperature-gas-reactor-9953847) in Washington State while [Saskatchewan](https://www.power-eng.com/nuclear/ge-hitachi-smr-chosen-for-potential-deployment-in-saskatchewan/) and [Tennessee](https://www.power-eng.com/nuclear/tva-working-toward-potential-deployment-of-ge-hitachi-smr/) will get our first Gen-4 small modular reactors online in about a decade. Climate change is now permanent. As it gets worse, it's probable that the public will become more tolerant of nuclear energy if not also approving of it. Whether or not that means anything will be up to the electrical engineers, physicists and machinists entering college today.

Human beings absolutely have an impact on their environment and I've seen a lot of success when I step away from terms like climate change and global warming and instead talk more directly about cleaning pollution and improving certain practices.
