those fuckin egghead scientists should actually do something https://twitter.com/ScientistRebel1/status/1656316525878423552 maybe if scientists actually spoke out instead of being cowardly nerds it would make a difference https://twitter.com/SR_Netherlands/status/1662463867937538052

What even is the baseline level? That chart starts at 4 but it looks like it was on a pretty steep incline even then  Is the baseline level zero???

MightyBigMinus posted:what an insanely ignorant and entitled viewpoint academics do not exist in a vacuum. the control relationship between academia and policy in an institutional context is that the research wings study how the world works, then the policy wings suppress and/or guard against the findings that are bad for Capital, and boost and/or act on the findings that are good for Capital. that's how the imf works, that's how the ipcc works, that's how the who works, that's how academia works. it's the file drawer problem on a massive scale.

I wrote a paper in uni on plasticizers leaking from food adjacent products. Turns out that prof worked for a plastics manufacturer so I got a terrible grade because "it just can't happen." Haha

Yeah, I don't think there's much understanding here that if you provide scientific advice to power you DO NOT attempt to dictate policy. You present the scenarios, try to communicate the probability that $BadThing will happen on their watch, then let the democratically elected / coup-installed politicians get on with their job. A personal  was how far the language in the 2017 report deviated from that convention. At that point I went from "We're hosed" to "We're seriously hosed, and much sooner and harder than expected".Cold on a Cob posted:just a reminder to everyone that the ucp cut the Wildland Firefighter Rappel Program in 2019 and managed to save a grand total of.... <$1.5M (vs their projected $23M savings because they always lie about how much this stuff costs) Is it my imagination, or am I opening a tab for the BC Wildfires page earlier every year?

silicone thrills posted:its cool that i learned about this in my college climate class in 2009 and like, we talked about this sort of feedback loops as being one of the worst case scenarios and lol here we are Yep. My college climatology classes were well over a decade ago with a teacher who was considered wildly doomer (but probably optimistic by modern standards) and it's rare that I see news that isn't just like "oh yeah, I remember learning about this in college."
