Oh, okay. Thank you for the information on that, I was wondering why such a popular story was being so heavily penalised. Would you consider unpenalizing this submission with the correct link? The article is very high quality and well worth a discussion on HN. Thanks.
- dang 11y agoI've done so, but with misgivings. First, HN hasn't been capable of having much substantive discussion about this in the past. Second, Hansen's announcement was discussed recently at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9927099 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9927099. Third, this article is written in an alarmist style. You can defend that by arguing that it's an alarming situation, but it sets the discussion up to be even more polarized. However, let's see what happens.
- cryptoz 11y agoThanks, I appreciate your flexibility and care on this issue. I'm aware HN has trouble discussing this topic, but I think that's one reason we very much need to keep talking about it. The HN community has some of the best skills needed to help solve our climate problems, and more discussion of the urgency and scale is (hopefully) useful. Thanks again
