CO2 and temperature have been in the same stable envelope since past 10 000 years and rise of civilization, until around 1980's.

It has not so much to do with prediction, nobody can predict everything. The science is following trends, using models and projections. There are real measures that show more instabilities, signs of weakening and the models explain why with

When you accept evidence it'll already be 20-30 years too late.

Duh, it's a seasonal spike, averaged.

It's how we get systemic racism / discrimination.

What if it's true and those top bullshitters (not all) are indeed lying all the time ? Why would any decent human being excuse that or fail to call it out?

Individual nurses and doctors are not pandemic experts and can often be mistaken about statistics and biases in numbers. Vaccines will be updated to include Delta.

The immediate problem is not sea-level rise, which will take hundreds of years for largest impacts [0]. Ocean acidification is already happening [1], and threaten ocean life. "When pteropod shells were placed in sea water with pH and c

Forget sea-level rise. That will take hundreds/a thousand years. Acidification of oceans wiping out much life and burning troposphere/biomass, both accellerating greenhouse gas concentrations headed straight for us in this lifetim

Unless you're using hardcoded values, using bind variables is the only proper way. Otherwise, the DBMS has difficulty recognizing the same query pattern for performance, and you're open to injection vulnerabilities for security.

They just don't want to touch the former president role. You can only lose and face destruction with people like that. It's about dragging down everyone. To be even loved for their demise, is just top of dominion.

That's the thing. It "works" just as long as filesize is under 200 MB, you don't need complex joins/queries/constraints and you don't make/allow for manual mistakes. Suddenly out of the blue it doesn&

I used "should" two places, both hypotheticals. Of course people will see the same situation in different perspectives, so perhaps any call for reason and leniency is made in vain.

I don't see the problem, except for manufactured outrage and fueling such. All current vaccines for COVID-19 are in experimental phase. They've been tested enough to be deemed safe enough. AstraZenica/Jansen was found to have

Many countries set the example of taking precautions before risk and gamble. They've done well handling the pandemic and there's not much economic difference in the end.

Anything can be used to justify your own biases to shift responsibility unto others (blame game). That's a personal responsibility to clear up, not someone else's. If one cannot function in an imperfect society, that only hurts on

Because of the treason of storming a democratic process, and then lying about it? It makes you question who you're working for, when half of politicians are behaving in such shameful manner without reprecussions and justice. These po

Mint works consistently for me now. Of course, there were fixes I had to implement myself. But I get to decide my own upgrade cycle, and can always timeshift everything back (like System Restore). The OS convergence of features are high, so

Very much like the frog in the warming pot, not noticing the lid is closing on top.

400+ ppm is unprecedented since 800 000 years, and the effects are recognizable now by year-by-year changes that consistently break out of historical limits for both temperature and CO2 concentrations: https://climate.nasa.gov&#x

Where are the credible peer-reviewed research that present contrary findings? At this point, contrary views seems to boil down to: Putting the lid on a pressure-cooker will not lead to chaotic disturbances and rising energy imbalance inside

For hardcore gamers, the added stability of Linux and choosing when to update, could be a big plus. Provided, hardware compatibility (there's always a caveat!).

How difficult is it to accept that humans affect the planet globally with unprecedented emissions of greenhouse gases?
178.
by loopz 5y ago
No, it would take a hundred year for CO2 concentrations in the troposphere to start going down significantly. Cutting all emissions today won't help us enough as thresholds are being triggered that will release more and more greenhouse

by loopz 5y ago
It's complicated. CO2 and other greenhouse gases raise evaporated water concentrations and initial warming, which trigger several one-way thresholds that we can never undo. It gets complicated/impossible after each threshold break

The funny thing is that at the physical layer, it's more or less true. With things like F5 even more so.
