Surprise! I'm a mathematical biochemist.
The necessary reactions to make a photosynthetic carbohydrate production chemical pathway energetically feasible actually only exist within extremely narrow temperature bounds.
You honestly don't understand how naive you are. You're disguising hope by what sounds vaguely scientific.
Not to mention: exactly where do you think those temperate zones will exist?
- titzer 7y ago> You honestly don't understand how naive you are. I don't hang around hackernews to get insulted. It's not what we do around here.
- 1propionyl 7y agoI don't hang around HN to have every other commenter confirm my existing opinions either. Being told by someone that they think you're wrong isn't an insult. If you buy the reassuring yet nonsensical idea that "the humans are fucked, the planet will be fine", you can be adequately classified as cherry-picking a minimally discomfiting worldview, against all evidence. That's not an insult.
- kaybe 7y agoNo, but check your wording. Calling someone naive and unable to see it is insulting. Just to give you an additional perspective.
- scarejunba 7y agoThere’s a lot of very low brow discussion going on here so I understand why you’re frustrated. HN does tone police, though, so if you want to participate probably best to play along.
