The messaging on "global tipping points" was over-done, and also many people are now aware that enforcing low-carbon policies is costing Western economies a huge amount of money while resulting in very little net reduction in glob

Algae blooms are typically the sign of something very wrong with an aquatic ecosystem (usually human-induced). This is in addition to the issues it causes in the rest of the local ecosystem by drastically reducing the light, nutrients, and

Quite the opposite - I'm asking people to take a wider view of the changes that humankind is making to the planet. Given those changes, a viewpoint that concludes with people asking for vast numbers of trees to be cut down, burned (or

It's too controversial now, but one day we will recognise the current narrow-minded obsession with CO2 as the Western civilisation-wide doomsday cult that it is.

It is such an unreasonable idea! Ignoring the loss of biomass (and the fact that there would be no way to implement this scheme without providing a very unwelcome financial incentive to cut down trees wherever they are found), you'd us

Are you suggesting we cut down trees and bury them to save the planet? For me, this idea marks the departure from reason and into crazytown. When our civilisation is excavated in 500 years, they are going to say we were as crazy as all of t

The translation between academic boilerplate and its real-world meaning and ramifications should be much more widely known. I wish more people had been nitpicking such things around 6 years ago. As for this research particular...pfff...I&#x

Y'all picked a funny time to nitpick at standard academic boilerplate. If we discounted all research that only "associated" things, then we wouldn't know much at all! Then again, arguably we don't.

I get a few lines in, recognize the "explain this as if you are an excited highschooler who can't stop talking" style, and lose focus.

Jeremey Clarkson called the Astra "the most boring car ever made". I loved both of mine - they always got me and my stuff where I needed to be, and were easy to fix. The last one, a 2007 model that has now moved on to my younger s

And this contrasts with other fields - for example, in orbital mechanics, we're pretty darn certain where the Earth will be tomorrow. We're a bit less sure about 30 years, and increasingly uncertain after that.
