in america, you get to choose whether you want the arsenic in your municipal water to also contain lead, or not. hahaha no you don't it's a dice roll e: also people are so brain poisoned to think ideas about fluoride are nutty that most people probably won't even believe that's real research. we live in absolute clown world

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:i had a real moment of clarity on the train this morning, about how many civilizations have felt immortal to the people living in them I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Scarabrae posted:are you loving telling me that the wackos worried about the flouride in the water were right all along? I grew up with unfluoridated water, and took supplementary pills at the 1980s dose levels, and now have some spots and stains on my teeth as a result because that's the normal end result of a bit too much fluoride. Other than that as far as I know it hasn't caused me any problems (granted, I can't see my skeleton and I've never had it surgically examined). Dose levels have been reduced 50% or more since then. Pharmaceutical fluoride is comparable to ground water fluoride but harder to compare to the slurry of crap that passes for municipal fluoridation most places. AFACIT there's reasonable evidence that for a real limited developmental period, mild fluoride intake is associated with long term better dental outcomes, but that it's not, to me, a compelling reason to put it in the overall water supply and it's definitely not a good reason to put heavy-metal containing fluoridated compounds into the water supply. Of course all sorts of bottled beverages and prepared food products are made using the same water All in all it seems like a case of a bit of maybe good science being overblown, perverted for profit, and then championed by successive generations of medical & dental people who don't know anything about where the fluoride in water actually comes from and would find all this horrifying if they didn't outright reject the idea. The trace metals in the teeth that statistically reduce tooth loss, may be fine; the greed and lack of oversight around all around it for 60-70 years has not been fine. It's the same old refrain.

Xaris posted:i'm just very weary of tiresome liberal "heh, did you know Rome didn't collapse overnight??? it took 1000 years! GDP keeps going up for now, things are fine doomer" types. as if it's some great insight that no one else knows rome didn't just disappear overnight that only they do. americans have particularly feeble malformed brains and think the naughty C-word has to mean an instantaneous event -- a precisely zero-time step binary on/off switch. so i use the d-word instead depending on audience thats our caveman logic. Everything is one of only two choices most of us can conceive. "Carbon content was this high in the atmosphere 2,000,000 years ago, therefore it's normal " "I've been hearing for 20 years that Florida will suddenly flip from above water to under water and it's still mostly above water" "You've been saying for years crops will be failing and we are still growing corn" "You said Carbon was bad but plants need it, therefore it is actually good"

Cabbages and Kings posted:I think it's a mix of a broken clock being right sometimes, and also putting stuff in the water supply in general should be something that causes some skepticism and then also even if the data is there (which I don't think it is, in this case) you shouldn't also poison the water with other poo poo because it's cheap/profitable to do so. It's also sort of like how chem-trails are actually real if you look at it in the right light.

lol i love this gay earth Here's the original paper btw: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07219-0 - Fig. 1: The commitment and divergence of economic climate damages versus mitigation costs. Estimates of the projected reduction in income per capita from changes in all climate variables based on empirical models of climate impacts on economic output with a robust lower bound on their persistence (Extended Data Fig. 1) under a low-emission scenario compatible with the 2 °C warming target and a high-emission scenario (SSP2-RCP2.6 and SSP5-RCP8.5, respectively) are shown in purple and orange, respectively. Shading represents the 34% and 10% confidence intervals reflecting the likely and very likely ranges, respectively (following the likelihood classification adopted by the IPCC), having estimated uncertainty from a Monte Carlo procedure, which samples the uncertainty from the choice of physical climate models, empirical models with different numbers of lags and bootstrapped estimates of the regression parameters shown in Supplementary Figs. 1–3. Vertical dashed lines show the time at which the climate damages of the two emission scenarios diverge at the 5% and 1% significance levels based on the distribution of differences between emission scenarios arising from the uncertainty sampling discussed above. Note that uncertainty in the difference of the two scenarios is smaller than the combined uncertainty of the two respective scenarios because samples of the uncertainty (climate model and empirical model choice, as well as model parameter bootstrap) are consistent across the two emission scenarios, hence the divergence of damages occurs while the uncertainty bounds of the two separate damage scenarios still overlap. Estimates of global mitigation costs from the three IAMs that provide results for the SSP2 baseline and SSP2-RCP2.6 scenario are shown in light green in the top panel, with the median of these estimates shown in bold. - Fig. 2: The committed economic damages of climate change by sub-national region and climatic component. Estimates of the median projected reduction in sub-national income per capita across emission scenarios (SSP2-RCP2.6 and SSP2-RCP8.5) as well as climate model, empirical model and model parameter uncertainty in the year in which climate damages diverge at the 5% level (2049, as identified in Fig. 1). a, Impacts arising from all climate variables. b–f, Impacts arising separately from changes in annual mean temperature (b), daily temperature variability (c), total annual precipitation (d), the annual number of wet days (>1 mm) (e) and extreme daily rainfall (f) (see Methods for further definitions). Data on national administrative boundaries are obtained from the GADM database version 3.6 and are freely available for academic use (https://gadm.org/).
