Asteroid strike causes massive climate change that makes the planet untenable for larger megafauna. Smaller creatures are more easily able to adapt due to not needing such large amounts of food. This is the second time in a week I've seen someone arguing that dinosaurs didn't exist with a straight face, where is this bullshit spreading from? Are you trying to be the next flat-earthers? LARPing at being idiots or just genuinely stupid?

Because it's forking natural, look at history, there's been atleast three ice ages then everything melts then it gets hot as fork and most species die and a few survive then everything starts freezing and ice comes back new ice age then it melts and repeat Everyone doesn't do research before posting or saying things 40 years ago in the 80's they were saying prepare for the ice age and now they're preaching climate change, it's real and natural and inevitable because you can't beat nature it always finds a way and it's just a way for people to make money

https://old.reddit.com/r/Christianity/comments/x2lsvr/did_something_recently_happen_to_make_christians/imkmg0z/

So I’m Christian and I’m about as conservative as you can get, but I’ve been of the belief that EVs and renewable energy in general are the future for several years now and I’ve consequently been invested in Tesla stock since 2019. I too have noticed the phenomenon you’re talking about, and i’ve come up with what I think are at least a couple possible reasons for it. I think most of it is that a lot of people are conservative by disposition, and here I don’t mean conservative politically but rather conservative in the sense of being skeptical or even hostile towards major social change. This makes them naturally a lot slower to see the potential or value of technological innovations. There can be plenty of reasons for this. For example, the fossil fuel industry has been the economic lifeblood of many conservative and Christian areas for generations and that’s being disrupted. Also new technology in general tends to start out in the cities before slowly expanding to the suburbs and then to rural areas which are disproportionately conservative and Christian. This conservative disposition isn’t a trait unique to Christians, but I would imagine Christians tend to skew more this way compared to the general population. Another which is more obvious is that for a long time EVs and renewable energy in general have been pushed as being a solution to man-made climate change, which political conservatives (which Christians tend to be) have seen as either 1.) not a real problem or 2.) possibly a real problem but one that’s being leveraged by leftists to expand government control over industries and disrupt fossil fuels which, again, has been the economic lifeblood of a lot of conservative areas. In both cases, EVs have just kinda been associated with leftist political campaigning, as if the only reason to make or buy an EV is if you think you’re saving the planet from the weather. So obviously right-wing Christians have been dismissive of it. Now it’s important to keep in mind that this is by no means universally applicable. You can be a politically conservative Christian and have a much more progressive disposition towards technological innovation. Likewise, you can be a leftist agnostic and still have a more conservative disposition towards these kind of things. We’re talking in very general terms here. I know plenty of conservative Christians who have no problem with EVs or the idea of renewable energy. I see Teslas on the road in the deep red parts of town all the time, and I have a hard time believing every single one of them is owned by non-conservative, non-Christians. As for the recency of it all, a lot of that has to do with the fact that EVs are starting to go mainstream. Tesla has become one of the largest companies in the world, they’ve been growing exponentially and now in some markets they’re outselling Toyota and Honda. Elon Musk has gone from a hero to left-leaning technology nerds to a more mainstream figure. Most legacy auto companies have not only been talking more about plans for an electric future, but have actually started coming out with half way decent EVs. And then there’s the inflation reduction act which just passed and that contains a ton of subsidies for electric cars. So EVs have just been the topic of discussion on a lot of different levels lately.

The thing about climate change is that even with models we cannot know exactly what will happen beyond mass extinction. We dont know how much of the worlds species will be gone by a certain time frame, we dont even know if it will be the absolute death of us all, we dont know. Ive seen some scientists say that the world would have to heat up by 12° to kill everyone and everything and we alone cannot reach that even if we went 10000% up in fossil burning. I've seen the other points. What i do know is that the amount of doom everyone in here shares, is what actually creates a freeze response. Some people will even think, "well the world is screwed, so why should I even try anymore?" And end up being part of the pollution problem. We need to take down large corporations, sue the ever living hell out of them, and donate whatever gains to conservation of endangered species. Completely ban commercial fishing in the ocean. Make huge tax fines for companies that dare to go past a certain pollution limit. Ban all single use plastics. Put more money into STEM to keep making advancements that help us improve the situation.

When Trump said to inject bleach to cure covid didn't that take any credibility away from anything else he says on the topic even if he manages to say something accurate? Like a flat earther may say climate change is real but they still believe in a flat earth and as such anything they say is kind of suspect. If the man literally told people to commit a criminal action why is his opinion on what guns should be legal valid? The guy literally told people to commit a crime! And Biden is effectively the head of the Democratic party being the president and all. He directs the federal agencies responses and directs at least the democrats in congress, using the bully pulpit of the office of president to direct them towards legislation to craft. Good legislation is never born of ignorance. And acting like the president is entirely disconnected from legislation being written is naïve at best.

Please explain to me how the general direction of our society in the last decade inspires hope for the future? Effects of climate change are being felt right now. Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common and overall, we aren't changing course. We also have extremists and opportunists infiltrating our institutions. Our systems of government are on increasingly shaky grounds as we continue to tolerate people who seek to dismantle them. We also just failed our pandemic test. Not only in dealing with it as it was in it's most intense period, but also in adjusting how we do things after the fact. Everyone seems to just want to go back to "normal". If a more damaging pandemic comes along, we are fucked.

Not sure what good news I can offer, but (as a recent Climate Science major) I can offer you an explanation: Think of weather and climate like rolling dice and recording your results. Let's say each dice roll represents the weather conditions for a particular day in late August. The weather is a pretty chaotic system full of swirls, waves, and randomness — much like a dice roll. When you record your results in a log book, for example, and then average up all the results your rolls, that average number represents the expected weather conditions for that particular day in late August: climate. Extreme weather are much like an uncommon dice roll, they are either high above or low below the more common conditions. Your average results had no direct influence on each individual dice roll, however. So climate doesn't truly cause weather events to occur. But that doesn't mean weather and climate aren't connected. If you were to manipulate the dice so that your average results would increase, like load the dice to favor higher rolls, you get climate change. The weather will do what it does. High and low atmospheric pressure systems dance all around the globe, and some of them bring extreme weather. It just happens. But the average conditions are changing, so the extreme temperatures change too. Extremes are relative to averages, so the magnitude of extremes haven't actually changed all that much. Instead, the average temperature is moving closer to a previous average's extreme. It's just not presented this way in scientific literature and news articles because it's much easier to compare extreme weather events to a stagnant average than to a moving average. So, to sum up: Climate change makes it more likely for a heat wave to be extreme because the average conditions are getting hotter.

There was a taboo about Nuclear maybe in no small part because of misinformation for a long time because of the potential for fallout and such. Reading into it though the fact that there's been a significant amount of improvements means there really needs to be a reevaluation of the issue expecially since Climate Change has become a much more serious issue in recent years and because while Nuclear has it's risks it doesnt contribute to Climate Change since it doesnt produce CO2.

We’ve all been staying indoors for decades here in Phoenix in the summer. Just like people in North east do when it’s winter time. We love the summer. I’m all about the pool season and camping is 1.5 hours north in the cool pines. People that don’t live here always talk about how terrible and doomed we all are, but you need to experience it to know. I’ve lived here almost 40 years. I’ve seen the climate change. It’s there, but if the southwest is truly doomed in 30 years, so is most the rest of this country (and world). I just don’t play into this forecasting for the future stuff.

Bit of a blurred line when it comes to something like a storm causing damage which you could or could not attribute to climate change (not directly but increasing severity and occurrence), as opposed to rising sea levels. I'm not a fan of unnecessary socializing of costs. If somewhere is ruined by a storm, then insurance should pay for damage to homes and the taxpayer picks up the tab for infrastructure. Seems fair to me. If your home is flooded because it's on the coast, that's on you. If you couldn't afford skyrocketing insurance premiums and you've lost everything, that's on you.

The insanity is really in the framework and effects of propaganda. With climate change, they can argue endlessly as it doesn't affect them in their locality on the timescale of their reference. They can deny it's existence based on the difficulty in understanding that it's happening from their own perception. The pandemic proved to us that even when it is directly have effects on them and their immediate environment they can still be told what to believe. That's the most frightening part. They can see a fire and be told there is no fire and believe it enough to argue with everyone around them on the matter.

‘leftist agenda’ President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act to bring down costs, reduce the deficit, and take aggressive action on climate – all paid for by making sure the largest corporations and billionaire tax cheats finally pay their fair share in taxes. This historic legislation lowers health care costs for millions of families and allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices for the first time. The Inflation Reduction Act caps seniors’ out-of-pocket spending for prescription drugs at $2,000 per year and ensures no senior on Medicare will pay over $35 per month for insulin. Under the law, 13 million Americans, covered under the Affordable Care Act, will see their health insurance premiums reduced by $800. The Inflation Reduction Act also takes aggressive action to combat the existential crisis of climate change. These historic clean energy investments will help families save hundreds of dollars every year on their energy bills while strengthening our energy security, creating jobs, and getting us closer to meeting our climate goals. All of this is paid for by establishing a minimum corporate tax to ensure that the wealthiest corporations finally start to pay their fair share, and cracking down on billionaire tax cheats – without increasing audit rates or raising taxes on those making under $400,000 a year by one cent. President Biden promised to make the government work for working families again and that’s exactly what this law does. Improved health care for veterans President Biden has long said that it is our sacred obligation to prepare and equip those we send to war and to take care of them and their families when they come home. As president, he has worked to ensure we make good on this sacred obligation and has signed multiple bipartisan bills to honor and improve care for veterans. In his first State of the Union address, President Biden called on Congress to pass legislation to make sure veterans impacted by toxic exposures and their families get the comprehensive care and benefits they earned and deserve. In August of 2022, President Biden signed the PACT Act – the largest single bill to address our service members’ exposure to burn pits and other toxins in American history. Signed the CHIPS and Science Act President Biden signed landmark legislation into law that will accelerate semiconductor manufacturing in the United States. The CHIPS and Science Act will help lower the cost of everyday goods, strengthen American manufacturing and innovation, create good-paying jobs, and bolster our national security. The CHIPS and Science Act will help us compete with China by bringing manufacturing jobs back to America. The law makes historic investments in research and development to accelerate the industries of the future and advance U.S. technological leadership. Thanks to President Biden’s Made In America strategy, the United States has created hundreds of thousands of new manufacturing jobs and businesses are investing in new manufacturing lines across the country. The CHIPS and Science Act makes smart investments in manufacturing and research to build on this historic progress and set America up to win the economic competition for the 21st century. Took historic action to address the gun violence epidemic President Biden brought together Democrats and Republicans to pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, breaking a 30-year streak of federal inaction on gun violence legislation. The legislation took important steps, including requiring people under 21 to undergo enhanced background checks, closing the “boyfriend loophole,” and providing funding to address youth mental health. President Biden has moved decisively to combat gun violence – issuing dozens of executive orders and signing the most significant gun violence reduction legislation to pass Congress in 30 years. President Biden has launched a whole-of-government approach to make our communities safer and issued more executive orders to reduce gun violence in his first year than any other President at the same point in their administration. In July of 2022, Steve Dettelbach, President Biden’s nominee for director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, became the first Senate-confirmed director of the agency in more than 7 years. Early on in his administration, President Biden took on the gun lobby to rein in the proliferation of ghost guns. The Biden administration acted to ban the manufacture of ghost gun kits and make it illegal to sell ghost guns without a background check. Restored American leadership on the world stage Under the previous administration, confidence in U.S. leadership around the world plummeted to historic lows. Since taking office, President Biden has worked to revitalize our alliances and restore America’s position of leadership on the global stage. When Russia launched an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, President Biden rallied our allies across the globe to ensure Vladimir Putin pays a steep economic price for his unjustified war of aggression. Thanks to President Biden’s leadership, international confidence in the United States has sharply increased. America is back, and our alliances are stronger than ever. Ended America’s longest war After more than 20 years of conflict spanning three previous administrations, President Biden acted decisively to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. Resolute in his commitment not to send another generation of America’s daughters and sons to fight in Afghanistan, President Biden ended our nation’s longest war. President Biden promised that we’d continue to conduct effective counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan without American troops on the ground. In August of 2022, the United States successfully carried out an airstrike in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, who was a key architect behind the 9/11 attacks and Osama bin Laden’s successor as head of Al Qaeda. In acting to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, President Biden ended an era of major military operations to remake other countries and refocused our national security efforts on the threats of today – not the threats of 2001. Took action to address gender-based violence In 1994, then-Senator Biden authored the Violence Against Women Act which provided legal protection against domestic violence and sexual assault for 28 years until it was allowed to expire under the Trump administration. As President, Joe Biden broke through two years of Republican obstruction and signed legislation in March 2022 to reauthorize and strengthen the Violence Against Women Act. Thanks to President Biden’s leadership, the Violence Against Women Act is now reauthorized through 2027 and includes new provisions to expand legal services for survivors and support underserved communities. President Biden also signed historic legislation ending forced arbitration of sexual assault and sexual harassment, protecting survivors and making it safer to report harassment in the workplace. Passed the American Rescue Plan President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act into law, an unprecedented $1.9 trillion package that helped combat COVID-19 and supercharge a historic economic recovery.

If a short list of unusual weather events was all the evidence there was, I'd agree with your take: there's always something weird or tragic happening somewhere, the biggest thing that's changed is our capacity for being bombarded by reports of it all over the world all at once. A bunch of scary headlines doesn't mean the world is actually on fire. But cumulative weight of evidence that the world is on fire does. The Arctic and Antarctic ice coverage are disappearing in a way they haven't for literal millennia. World insect biomass is a fraction of what it was less than a century ago. Climate (not just one weird outlier measurement, but collective measurements over years) conditions are far out of their recent norms all over the world, and changing fast. The kind of change that the planet's climate has always experienced is measured in tiny shifts across thousands of years, and suddenly we're seeing dramatic shifts in mere decades. Runaway ocean salinization, mass crop failures, intensifying storm systems, continental water shortages: we're already seeing stark results of climate change, and everyone who's a scientist instead of a politician or a lobbyist has been saying for decades now that it's only about to get much, much worse. I'm all for being rational about resisting panic and overblowing things, but rationality also means recognizing when something really is in fact a very big deal that demands attention, and in that case simply smiling and saying it can't really be all that bad because life is still fine for most of us is exactly the wrong thing that's going to let this continue until far past the point where we can do anything to avoid the greater catastrophes ahead.

I think it’s an attempt to make climate change scarier to the layperson by blowing an insignificant statistic out of proportion. All the while increase in the heart attack rates are obviously caused by the obesity epidemic.

That is entirely what the other papers say. In the long term, the carbonite chemistry is very different than the short (or medium) time frames. That is precisely why the rate of change is so important. From your paper: "Our results show that including complete ocean carbonate chemistry, prognostic organic carbon/phosphorus burial rates, and δ13C at various depths, combined with the ability to predict the CCD, is vital for constraining carbon cycle and climate dynamics **over multimillion-year time scales.** " From the first paper I linked: ">100,000-Year Timescale A large amount of carbon is locked up in Earth’s crust as carbonate carbon (∼70 × 106 Pg C) and as elemental carbon in shales and coals (∼20 × 106 Pg C). On tectonic timescales (>100,000 years), this reservoir is active; imbalances in the fluxes to and from this pool can lead to large changes in TCO2, TA, and atmospheric CO2 (Figure 2b). The balance among long-term carbon fluxes controls atmospheric CO2 and ocean inventories of TCO2 and TA on this timescale." "As mentioned above, no significant relationships are to be expected because the ocean’s long-term saturation state appears to have been nearly constant throughout the Cenozoic. In contrast, rapid short-term ocean acidification events such as the PETM (∼55 Mya) have been identified as the cause for ancient reef crises." That is precisely why you could have shelled organisms in the ocean with 1000 PPM CO2. It happened slowly enough.

The government already overspends its budget they don't need to be spending more not to mention most of that money went to climate change projects they simply named it the inflation reduction act to avoid opposition because most people simply look at the title of a bill rather than what actually entails to it "we like in an extreme capitalist nation, the government cant really do a whole lot to prevent that. But they did just pass the inflation reduction act." The United States is not an extreme capitalist Nation it is a moderately capitalist Nation and want to know the best way to end price gouging increase production of said goods to lower prices but good luck doing that our government operates off of Keynesian economics which idiotically thinks it can somehow artificially stimulate demand

If you are actually an "expert", from a Buddhist viewpoint, ,this is irrelevant to me, because I have no basis to judge or assess your expertise. You simply, from a Buddhist viewpoint, simply become another Blind-Faith-Guru. All I personally know is: (i) the climate "experts" I personally know I personally consider to be "nutters', despite their earning six-figure incomes & govt pension plans, because they, for example, attributed Covid-19 to climate change; attributed bush fires to climate change; are obsessed about over-population rather than individual per-capita natural resources use and (ii) i've spent much of my many decades of life, on a daily basis, at the ocean & beach. I have not noticed any noticeable rise in sea levels or fluctuations in temperature. We had the hottest summer ever this year due to uncharacteristic wind directions; and had a similar but not unreasonable cool winter due to the same cause. Apart from the strange winds this year, its business as usual as far as I am concerned. The bottom line is any real climate emergency will be a collective experience. In the end, those with power will most likely engage in an inequitable approach. I am confident of this because some of the loudest climate warriors I personally know live the most materialistic lives, such as installing stainless steel kitchens rather than wooden kitchens made from plantation timber, owning multiple 4WD vehicles, building large home renovations from masses of concrete & steel on forested rocky hillsides, constantly flying on planes for never ending holidays. In short, the strong impression is their climate work was very financially lucrative for these "High Priests" of climate. The Buddha taught in MN 95 to judge or access a person/monk by their actions before placing faith in them. Therefore, as I suggested, the best Environmental Path is to live a sustainable lifestyle yourself. This is why I locally have the power to mock the Climate Warriors, because I live much more simply than they do. I am an example while they watch NetFlix, are addicted to their 4WDs & admire nature from their McMansions.

So they’re looking at current weather patterns and deducing that another species might have had a greenhouse effect driven global warming period caused by industrialization? I’m not a climate change Denier, but isn’t this a little to human-centric of an explanation, and far too reliant on intelligence driven climate change as the mechanism? Occam’s razor would suggest that warming patterns like the current one may be possible without a runaway greenhouse effect due to industrialization, if we are seeing proof it has happened before but not proof of it being caused by an organized life form…

This thread conflates what I see as two different questions: Why I personally didn't have children vs. why I now think no one should have children. I'm 68 years old, so my reasons for not having children some 40 years ago were far more personal than ideological. I just didn't want them enough to be worth the incredible effort and expense of raising them. Over the years, however, as population continues to climb and climate change accelerates, I'm convinced that having children is just not a good idea for anybody in the developed world. Every individual in the "first world" puts too much pressure on resource and energy use, not to mention that the world they're going to inherit will be collapsing around them. When I was born there were 2.5 billion people on Earth. We're approaching 8 billion people now. Enough.

Then he says stuff like this: "Promoting nuclear as an important tool in fighting climate change would get him dismissed by fellow environmentalists as a conspiracy theorist or, falsely, as a corporate shill, he added."

That was the agreement in Paris and prior: China gets to keep increasing CO2 emissions until 2030, while the US and West in general need to reduce them by 40%. For China, the best strategy, no matter what, is to say their emissions are increasing even if they aren't and to push for increases. This is what they have done, you can even see them declaring they had been lying about the number of coal plants being built, they said they have secretly been making more. Whether they have been making more or not, it makes sense for them to declare they have. They have nothing to lose: if China increases emissions to 2030, and the West decreases them by 40%; China will be doing much better than the West, and won't have to decrease anything because the West will be to weak to do anything. if China increases emissions to 2030, and the West doesn't decrease them by 40%; China is off the hook, since the West didn't uphold their end of the deal. It's a no-lose bet for China. So when people say: China agrees with CLIMATE CHANGE! No, they agree with the no lose deal you offered them.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/IHathReturned: --- >In October, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report setting out why we must stop global warming at 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, and how to do so1. It is grim reading. If the planet warms by 2 °C — the widely touted temperature limit in the 2015 Paris climate agreement — twice as many people will face water scarcity than if warming is limited to 1.5 °C. That extra warming will also expose more than 1.5 billion people to deadly heat extremes, and hundreds of millions of individuals to vector-borne diseases such as malaria, among other harms. >But the latest IPCC special report underplays another alarming fact: global warming is accelerating. Three trends — rising emissions, declining air pollution and natural climate cycles — will combine over the next 20 years to make climate change faster and more furious than anticipated. In our view, there’s a good chance that we could breach the 1.5 °C level by 2030, not by 2040 as projected in the special report (see ‘Accelerated warming’). The climate-modelling community has not grappled enough with the rapid changes that policymakers care most about, preferring to focus on longer-term trends and equilibria. The IPCC is conservative in its predictions. This paper, published in 2018, details the reasons to expect global warming to occur faster than expected. This is related to collapse because global warming on its own can destroy the food system through floods, droughts impacting food production. --- Please reply to OP's comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/collapse/comments/x2n19l/global_warming_will_happen_faster_than_we_think/imkeimo/

Do you understand the concept of a market failure and negative externalities? The free market cannot fix climate change because there are no incentives to change behaviours in production and consumption, even if everyone is worse off. Prices do not accurately factor in the actual costs to third parties (the people not consuming), which is why climate change is a market failure. Policy intervention is necessary to correct this failure in multiple ways, in this case it's a carbon tax specifically. This increases prices to accurately include the costs to society for consuming and producing carbon-intensive products. A carbon tax is a Pigouvian tax, which economists endorse as one solution to market failures. The federal carbon tax also includes a rebate (i.e. the benefit the government gets from the tax increase goes back to the consumer, which means that the consumer is not negatively harmed). The higher prices also influences behaviour and innovation in the free market by trying to reduce the costs associated with the consumption/production of carbon intensive goods. We also have Pigouvian subsidies to encourage the positive externalities, thus increasing the demand for said items which fixes the market failure of not producing enough of the product (i.e. subsidies for solar panels or subsidies for wetland conservation). I wouldn't have a problem with PP's obsession with getting rid of the carbon tax if he wanted to implement cap-and-trade instead, but he doesn't (I'd still argue that replacing the carbon tax with cap-and-trade is ill-advised due to expectations from society and industry). The damage of climate change will be far higher than a measly carbon tax, though of course, most old people who vote conservative will be dead before things start to get really bad, so they have no incentive to actually care about the planet after they die (no economic incentive, anyway). So of course they'll oppose a carbon tax, because they think they'll get no benefit from it. Green energy is cheaper than the majority of energy sources, even without factoring in climate change damages. It makes more economic sense to switch, especially here in Nova Scotia where we still use coal (highly inefficient and costly, directly to health and environmental damages). The damages to our environment, in the form of decreased crop yield, increased property damages, reduced fishing catches, and decreased forestry output, and increased health issues (I'm thinking specifically about Lyme disease and ticks, though heat will also be a large contributor) will all be extremely costly and the government must do something about this. Carbon taxes are one way to reduce carbon pollution. Literally take any university-level economics course or read IPCC reports. I wrote way too much, no one in r/Canada cares about factual information or climate change, so I wasted my time lol. I took the bait from this concern troll. Good thing I can type fast.

So what expert determines that a rifle with the ability to attach a knife is magically more deadly than the exact same rifle without that ability to attach a knife because a bayonet lug is a feature that creates an assault weapon. But to my knowledge there is not a problem of people being stabbed by rifle mounted knives. Also I would love to find the expert that said "A heat shield exists purely to prevent the shooter from burning their hand on a hot barrel. Obviously by banning this safety feature we will save lives." Also where are these experts that say a rifle with a permanently collapsed stock is ok and one with the same stock permanently extended is ok but the same rifle with the same stock that can simply move between fully collapsed and fully extended, when the rifle in either configuration is still legal, somehow now is a weapon of war only suitable for armies and local police... Go ahead find me these experts. They probably came from the same schools that create the "experts" republicans use to deny climate change >Also, Presidents don't write laws. Oh ok so then every time Trump said something dumb and everyone pointed out his ignorance all Republicans had to do was say he doesn't write the laws and then magically his ignorance is entirely unimportant?

I argue that it is no moral failing. Given how much meat consumption contributes to global warming, it seems silly to waste meat by burying or burning it. Quick facts: Top climate scientists say eating less meat is the best way you as an individual can make a cut to your emissions. If you don't eat the brain, eating human flesh has the same risk for disease as any other animal flesh. Throughout history people have eaten human flesh, in times of need (I think the climate catastrophe counts), but also in many other times and cultures- in some it was considered an insult not to be eaten, as that is wasting a good resource. Human meat has less calories and slightly less protein per kilogram than pork, but is fairly similar nutritionally. Taste too apparently, like pork or a mild beef I've heard. You would donate your body parts to science or to skin graft a burn victim, but you wouldn't donate your arms, butt, legs and ribs, to helping combat climate change and feed people? How does that make sense? There are about to be hundreds of millions of climate refugees, and the world is headed into chaos and strife while global argiculture as we know it breaks down. We should set up an ethical and controlled, local and sanitary human meat supply (Tracing and government audits to insure it's not murder victims being sold, that sort of thing), and convert our morgues into butchers before the worst begins. It's just a cultural ick factor (mostly a hangover from religions and pre-scientific cultures) we need to get over. We're wasting a lot of meat while destroying the planet by consuming meat. It's nonsense. Please note: I have never eaten human meat, but you can eat me after I die. I am not a proper vegan either, though I support it. Also note: you're supposed to downvote things that are irrelevant or don't add to the conversation on Reddit, not things you disagree with. Don't downvote me just cos you think the idea is gross.

Sociology had the potential to be science but was co-opted by the "problemization" movement which is what underpins all the ongoing stupidity in society. With a few rare exceptions such as mathematics and engineering, and those are under attack now, all other fields of study have been compromized and no longer produce valid data and results. It's all narrative, all the time. There are yet more issues but this issues alone causes the replication crisis because too few people are actually doing science in any given field. They intentionally design flawed studies to tilt towards the desired outcome and even when they get countermanding data they "interpret" the data to still mean the desired outcome. They did it with the golden-hamster study on masking (during COVID). The study showed that a diseased masked hamster infected another masked hamster in another area connected by something like 12' of ductwork. It was a stunning result that backed up the analysis and engineering that unequivocally showed masking cannot work. (Masking is one part of a system required to prevent transmission and air-filtration is what matters most. Masking without it is pointless. However note that large jets have suppression-level air-filtration in them so the one place masking does matter and help is on a plane.) They had designed the study to end after the unmasked hamster became ill but before the masked hamster fell ill and got unlucky. If they had run the study two more days nearly every hamster would been infected but they stopped the study and per protocol killed all the test subjects. Then they concluded that the masking reduced transmission and prevented infection delivering the result they were paid to produce. If you are unaware, climate-change research was legit for about six months then it became part of problemization back in the 70's. About one out of every thirty researchers in that field are legit and that is too few to maintain the integrity of the area. The illiberals of the nation do not care if it is actually true or not which is they don't do anything real about it. If we were serious we'd be building 20 new nuclear plants a year. What mattes to them is they can use global-warming to proclaim capitalism is destroying the world. That is what they care about. An even better one is the thimerosal studied that linked developmental delays with that vaccination preservative. Reviewing their data and their citations there is no question they demonstrated a strong correlation verging on proof because the negative effects are so well established in other mammals from challenge testing. A competent society and scientific community would have immediately suspended its use and funded an independent study to confirm or refute but this was not done (because it was clear they were correct; there's no point to confirm it in human infants when it's already been confirmed in twelve other mammals already.) All we had to do was not give infants younger than 3mn of age thimerosal containing vaccinations. But the MSM turned that into "Do Vaccines Cause Autism!?!?!?" and the scientist responsible for oversight chose to lie and claim 'vaccinations are completely safe' which any thinking person knows is false because all such things have risk. They lied because they did not want people to panic and stop vaccinating their kids. Except the American public is one of the most educated bodies of people on the planet so when they lied about it we then all knew there was something to the claims made. And people stopped vaccinating their kids for a while ... So ... given how deep the insanity is in those fields, thinking that sociology is legit is braindead.

The only question is what timeline of heat increase will we experience. The results will cost trillions of dollars, cause famine, war, death in millions or billions and extinction of many species.

The same SF who have no policy at all on climate change? Its almost as if they are short term populists with no idea how to actually govern. All the young folk dying for a SF government should take a good look at the actual implications of their policy positions (or lack thereof).

If climate change will kill millions the trade off os worth it. All of the disasters you’ve mention are either not US designs or incredibly archaic. We have plenty of places to put the spent fuel, even space. With technological progress comes energy consumption. We have spells where that technology becomes more efficient and uses slightly less but our activities on earth all require vastly more energy than our ancestors. To use significantly less would require efficiency not possible or regression. There isn’t a lot of wiggle room. Think of all the energy it takes to feed you, make your gadgets, mine the earth for batteries, etc. it’s insane. To reneg on energy usage is to go back to Stone Age levels of usage. We need to use more energy to come up with solutions even. Progress looks like actually using more energy that is renewable and finding efficiency where we can.

We are beyond the point of a competency test for voting, Look all I'm saying is the people who believe the Earth is flat and the people who look at climate change and they don't think "oh yeah that's just grade 10 Newtonian physics" Not only do they get a vote but their vote is equal everybody else's. Edit addition : we have literally watched the federal education budget fall flat on it's face since the early 70's and subsequently the military's discretionary budget increase and no ome bats an eye

Climate change? That is code for UN Commissars telling us Americans what temperature it is going to be in our outdoors. I say let the world warm up. See what Boutros Boutros Ghali Ghali thinks about that. We'll grow oranges in Alaska.

It's very telling how you link to the appendix, instead of the fulltext. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(21)00251-5/fulltext Otherwise people might have a chance to read the authors' actual conclusions: >Compared with the cost of current diets, the healthy and sustainable dietary patterns were, depending on the pattern, up to 22–34% lower in cost in upper-middle-income to high-income countries on average (when considering statistical means), but at least 18–29% more expensive in lower-middle-income to low-income countries. Reductions in food waste, a favourable socioeconomic development scenario, and a fuller cost accounting that included the diet-related costs of climate change and health care in the cost of diets increased the affordability of the dietary patterns in our future projections. When these measures were combined, the healthy and sustainable dietary patterns were up to 25–29% lower in cost in low-income to lower-middle-income countries, and up to 37% lower in cost on average, for the year 2050. Variants of vegetarian and **vegan dietary patterns were generally most affordable**, and pescatarian diets were least affordable.

I'm so fed up with the radical-Right painting all Muslims as terrorists and bad people when in fact, a lot of Muslims experience discrimination, violence, hate crime and murder. Most of the people killed by the Muslim fringe lunatics are other Muslims. And in the streets of the United-States of America, Muslims, especially Muslim women, are harassed, have their traditional clothing ripped off, are beaten, are killed, etc. In the mosques in the United-States of America, and it even happened in Canada (my country) these last few years, Muslims are mass-shot by radical-Right bigots who want to blame all the evils and problems of the world on minorities and who think that there is no such thing as an innocent Muslim. The radical-Right is cancer on society. Also, the idea that all Muslims must constantly apologize for and/or denounce the terrorist acts of the extremist fringe lunatics or they are terrorists/terrorist sympathizers by default is extremely fucked up and bigoted. People are only responsible for their own actions. And anyone with half a brain knows that the vast majority of a group is against the radical ideologies of the fringe lunatics. For example, the radical-Right "Christians" are anti-choice/pro forced birth and anti-LGBT, they blow up abortion clinics, kill or disown their kids for being LGBT, they're racist and hate immigrants, etc. But the overwhelming majority of Christians support reproductive rights, LGBT equality, and sanctuary cities, the radical-Right has been lying for decades because there is nothing in the bible in its proginal languages (hebrew and greek) against homosexuality, transgenderism, committed and loving same-gender relationships, abortion, and sanctuary cities. The four of five homophobic verses in the english translations were added later on by the translators who injected their biases and bigotry into their translations. Also, the term "homosexual" didn't exist/wasn't used in translations of the bible until the 1940s, so if you see the term "homosexual" in an english translation, it was the translator injecting their bias and bigotry into their translations. Nowhere does it say in the bible that a woman or girl cannot terminate a pregnancy, especially if the mother's life and health are in danger or there's a fatal defect in the fetus (like babies with no head, no kidney, no bladder or parts of the brain or skull no forming properly). We must preserve the right to safe and legal abortion: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzG\_3q50DuPnBRQCx3IGNWI5hSufAUMPU](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzG_3q50DuPnBRQCx3IGNWI5hSufAUMPU) Also, radical-Right folks, including Trump, would have you believe that progressive and Center-Left Muslims don't condemn terrorism but that's a fucking lie, a lot of Muslims condemn terrorism and have done so several times and some of them even foiled terror plots in Canada (my country). Just watch the first playlist I will add to this post.

And then they have the nerve and the audacity to blame all the evils and problems of the world on Muslims, Pagans, Atheists, Liberals, etc, etc. That's the pot calling the kettle black. They also hate the idea of first amendment rights for all (separation of "church" and state, freedom of and from religion, the government not being allowed to promote any particular religion, the right to get an abortion or marry a person of the same gender, etc, the first amendment protect people from the radical-Right writing their beliefs and fucked up interpretation of their faith into law and forcing it all on everyone else), they hate freedom and liberty. The Conservatives, especially the radical-Right, don't get to speak for and/or represent most let alone all Muslims, Christians, Atheists, etc. Conservatives idelogues are crazy and Conservative ideology is cancer on society. One of many angry and disgusted LGBT and pro-choice Canadian Center-Left Christians.

You might wanna check your legal obligation if you are renting your flat. Below 16 degrees, molds and other stuff could happen and damage the appartement. Which I believe you could be accountable for. Best idea would be to try not going below 16. But then… will we have less than that this winter seeing the climate change

Yeah, likewise. The same as all these other commenters. Most of my Lefty mates are just as bad as deniers. Worse really, because they claim to be concerned about climate change but live as if it is of no great consequence. Most of them are completely authoritarian and are looking for ways of making a buck at the expense of someone else. I mentioned starting a coop to an apparently progressive flatmate of mine (who has now booted me out of my house - no worry there, onward and upward) and she looked at me like I was crazy saying that I would make less money if I had to share my profits with my "employees". She, of course, claims to be anti-capitalist. These people don't even know the meaning of words like "climate change" or "capitalist". At the very least they only have the vaguest sense of what they mean. What they do understand is that saying that you are against these things makes you look good on your socials and in your conversation around a dinner table or at a bar.

In 2010 the City budget for all property taxes was $1B. Now is it just over $2B - that's a increase of over 100%. Works out to compound increase of 6% per year. That's way more than inflation over that period of time. The MVA system hides it well. Operating costs of the City have more than doubled and the pace of increase is on track to double the operating costs again by at least that much in the next decade. Throw in climate change spending and the 19+ new communities being built out and the picture for property taxes is very ugly.

The smog (or fog I'm not sure) does not cause climate change, not at all. And the lower water level has nothing to do with water/air pollution, overuse maybe, but that's not pollution is it? And the reason is the lack of rainfall and the heat! Pollution bad of course, but it has nothing to do with the second picture, and ironically you can't see much of the pollution in the second picture 😂.

Yeah there are still weather events like droughts and floods that is strong evidence of climate change but I don’t think they are severe and/or unusual enough to many to be seen as evidence of climate change compared other events like hurricane Harvey, the Pacific Northwest heatwave, and wildfires in the west. Edit: Changed Texas Freeze to Pacific Northwest heatwave.

Hong Kong did HKD the day Pelosi landed in defiance of China. Be on the look out for Hong Kong IPOs, coinciding with Pelosi pissing China off. Although this is climate change related: "BEIJING, Aug 31 (Reuters) - China said on Wednesday that a condition for the resumption of bilateral climate talks with the United States was Washington dispelling the "negative influence" left by U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan earlier this month." and "The U.S. side should dispel the negative influence of Pelosi scuttling to Taiwan, this is an indispensable condition of China-U.S. climate change cooperation," China's foreign ministry said in a written statement sent to Reuters." Keep me posted next time China publicly demands the US not acknowledge Hong Kong's independence... We might haver another run at it !

It's also the perceived lack of a healthy future world to thrive in. All projections for climate change and pollution indicate a looming catastrophe, compounded by war and famine. Not a world I want to bring children into.

I don't have anger at politicians because of climate change, I'm angry that politicians inflict harsh economic conditions on their own people in the name of climate change. Save the planet, freeze and starve the people. Save the planet by charging us twice as much for gas. Save the planet by making sure farmers can't grow food. Save the planet by committing to irrational co2 emission standards while allowing China to run rampant with them - hello, we all share the same planet dumbass! Save the planet by blithely telling us to get electric vehicles when many can't even afford rent and groceries. Save the planet by telling us to eat bugs. Speaking for myself I'm not angry because of climate change anxiety, I'm angry over what's being done to us under the guise of climate change. And you're one of the worst, Trudeau.
