I like the idea of Internet Weather. Seems probability of rain is currently increasing. And so does anticipation of floods and surges.

We tend to believe our current level of civilization is stable because it got never challenged by climate changing this fast. Probably it is not about ending all human culture but about rolling back decades or centuries in a lot of regions.

Well, considering most of the atmospheric oxygen is produced by phytoplankton in the ocean that's a receipt for suffocation.

Can't remember who first said: "A sentence is a formatted thought", however there is a lot of evidence how language shapes our thinking. It even includes distinguishing colors. Maybe we should first find out how we think and

It seems to me history stays in replay until we eventually understand freedom is more important than whatever risks are attached.

I scanned the list and attached a subjective clickbaitiness to each 'headline'. Of course without reading the article. Yours got 100%. I learned two things, this network knows how to make HN visitors click. It is hard to extract k

I'd argue 'social' in media and in beings are different things. And regarding the very nature, we're all dopamine junkies. That little kick after a cigarette and a fresh like on FB do the same thing to your brains, googl

Look, I did not answer the irrelevant question whether Larsen C calved because of Climate Change. Attributing single events in remote areas is hard. That's why I answered a different question, the key words are 'today' and &#

Still, I'd advice using it because 'entity' is the top holonym in WordNet. I'd also argue if everything in a system is called an entity all meaning is lost and you should pick something from the lower levels of WordNet l

I've found Princeton's WordNet extremely useful to name things with a fitting English word in programs. It let's you traverse the hierarchy while proposing hyponyms, holonyms and synonyms. Entry level speaker will find the ex

If I had to guess, I'd say it all started with GEB by Douglas Hofstadter. It very well explains aspects of symbol manipulation using koans. However, there might be another precursor.

Check out this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees:_Our_Future_on_a_H... It has some examples what happened to the US territory in a warmer climate. Can't remember thinking of a paradise.

Well, nothing against metaphors, but 'war' is really not a pleasing one and it isn't useful either since truth is its first victim. Why using a title forcing the reader to assume bullshit follows.

Request to de-weaponize the title. War should denote humans fighting humans only - not humans fighting physics.
