Cool story, bro.
The antarctic ice cores contain valuable information, but they do definitely not tell a complete story of neither temperatures, nor anything else across the whole globe on a granular time scale.
> ...which was a catastrophic event for humanity, and led to the winnowing of our population to less than 100,000 individuals. So yeah, point taken.
Yes, it wasn't fun. But then again people seemed to die when temperatures went very quickly down, and thrive very well when they shortly after increased again.
Anyway, you just wrote that such temperature shifts had never happened before. And now you say that it did naturally, not so long ago.
What I've got to gain on calling out bad apocalyptic propaganda? I might just be able to avoid the cure for 2C temperature increase, which looks like it may very well make life completely miserable for almost everyone.
As they say, the cure for climate change is the disease it claims it's fighting.
- ramesh31 3y agoA fascinating look into the mind of a Joe Rogan listener ITT.
- zosima 3y agoHave no idea what you mean. But if you refer to me being logically consistent and not contradicting myself every few sentences, I recommend that you not just continue looking, but also learn it.
- holbrad 3y agoNever really understood the whole Rogan hate thing. Explicitly what's wrong with listening to Joe Rogan ? Plenty of really cool guests on there
- ramesh31 3y ago>Explicitly what's wrong with listening to Joe Rogan? Ehh, he's not particularly awful himself. I used to be a fan long ago, before the slide. It's just that his show now serves as the entry way to the crazy funnel of Jones, Peterson, Tate, et. al. for impressionable young men, which then leads to things like climate change denial and other (worse) conspiracy theories taking root. Mostly it's just an indicator of poor critical thinking skills than anything else. Kind of like how it's been shown that the single most reliable indicator someone will believe in a given conspiracy theory is whether or not they believe in any others, even completely unrelated ones.
