So, if 450 ppm is bad, wouldn't 900 ppm be worse? It wasn't so long ago in the climate's history that it was that way. Not so long before that, it was 1800. Wouldn't that make the world ultra-XXXL screwed beyond belief?

These doomsday prophecies are always conveniently distant. You can tell people any scary nonsense as long as it's far enough away that everyone will have forgotten the details of your prediction by the time it fails to come to pass. It

That seems like another good example of Wikipedia being unreliable and corrupt on politicized topics, not so much a substantive counter for this article. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jul/16/w

> There's room in the FOSS space for both GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. I doubt strcat disagrees with that. He's responding to specific statements comparing GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. I don't think we would have seen those comments

I think my friends can see pictures in their minds. Maybe the discrepancy is due to ambiguity about what is meant by "visualize". I can think... something is clearly happening, but it just doesn't seem to be happening via pic
