two skeletons walk into a bar

first skeleton says "Well what do you know about us destroying life on earth with runaway greenhouse gases making it a hothouse planet"
second skeleton says "um actually "Hothouse" is evocative of Venus and Earth could never be classified in the same tier of "Hothouse" as Venus due to the fact that Venus is closer to the sun that earth. The amount of solar radiation absorbed by Venus is so much more than Earth with a different atmosphere concentration that really Earth could never possibly be considered to have done the same thing as Venus and if you want to suggest this is hypothetically possible then I really need more background than that. The original cited scientist wasn't actually a climate scientist and the variables aren't exactly going in your favor by comparing solar apples to solar oranges.

you dumbass you're the one that made the claim about it being like venus

about climate science yes

i'd trust his thoughts about cosmology pretty well, his blathering about AI and aliens and the climate, though, are about as worthwhile as any other non-relevant stem ph

What's stopping them from making highways to transport all the soy? They're ripping up the forests for soy anyway, may as well throw a coupla roads down. Infrastructure jobs!!!!

lmao

over land transport uses too much fuel. they'd have to buy that fuel first, which would cost more than soybeans are being sold for. then no one would buy the bulk soy at the new higher price anyways

Chevron just put a man under house arrest for two years and then imprisoned him for an additional six months. And scarcely anyone knows about it. Think about that. Has a private corporation ever previously managed to imprison a US citizen in the US?

no, no, see the planet's a noob and is shooting its entire feedback load right now and won't have anything left at 4C+ to shove everybody into 12C+

we just gotta ride out the initial surge and then it'll be smooth sailing
