Just watched Lex Fridman, was blown away by his charisma, intellect, and vast knowledge on this topic. He said climate change will easily be conquered with human spirit and compassion, that we will continue making the world a better place and that we shall venture out and voyage the stars and expand our civilization for millions of years. What a charming and handsome young man. You guys should watch him and learn a thing or two

Wow, thank you for this recommendation! Just watching this particular video clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSC5rj0fdrY) was particularly insightful. There are a lot and cheap effective things we can do to fight climate change! Like his guest Bjørn Lomborg points out, hydraulic fracturing enables for a much cheaper and greener alternative to coal. If we were serious about fighting climate change, we would spread this technology far and wide wherever we could!

Truly, things really aren't that bad yet - in fact, I personally spoke to the scientists, and things are actually getting better! - and I am thankful that you shared this intellect with us today!

Absolutely thrilling segment there, this is what the world needs. Instead of pointlessly debating with each other, we need the climate specialists to agree with the economists and follow their lead, it’s the only way to turn this out of control freight train around

just asking questions, but has anyone actually seen a carbon dioxide?

also, didn't they used to just call it carbonic acid? i guess the scientists musta workshopped it and changed the name at some point, when people wised up and realized there's no such thing as an acid gas.

Umm, will, AKTULLY carbonic acid is um, H²CO³, which is simply um dissolved CO², umm, that's um, how they learned um, of it. Um. Which is, um, a problem, um, because of the absorption of carbon dioxide into the oceans? Is bad? Um. Wull. Yeh.

hey get this doomer bullshit, you know how paleolithic cave art has been lasting for tens of thousands of years?

nature's healing lol posted:

In 2001, the authorities in charge of Lascaux changed the air conditioning system which resulted in regulation of the temperature and humidity. When the system had been established, an infestation of Fusarium solani, a white mold, began spreading rapidly across the cave ceiling and walls.[36] The mold is considered to have been present in the cave soil and exposed by the work of tradesmen, leading to the spread of the fungus which was treated with quicklime. In 2007, a new fungus, which has created grey and black blemishes, began spreading in the real cave.

As of 2008, the cave contained black mold. In January 2008, authorities closed the cave for three months, even to scientists and preservationists. A single individual was allowed to enter the cave for twenty minutes once a week to monitor climatic conditions. Now only a few scientific experts are allowed to work inside the cave and just for a few days a month, but the efforts to remove the mold have taken a toll, leaving dark patches and damaging the pigments on the walls.

well nothing lasts forever right? This is not happening in only one cave. Adieu.

But you won't find me there, 'cause I won't go back again...
While you're on smoky roads, I'll be out in the sun...
Where the trees still grow, where they count by one...
So does reading this thread make me some kind of depressed sicko dragging other people down, or is it only posting that does it?

I hope the people who don't post here and complain about it being an unhealthy place are reading. Not just because of the irony of that! I want them to know how I'm enjoying life when I'm not posting about the end of our world. Out of work I like weed and videogames, loving, music, and getting drunk and telling people that our way of life is going to end and there'll be increasing waves of mass death sooner than we think.

It's a good life but I don't get enough complaints about it on the internet.

Actually, any participation in this thread is a sign of a cripplingly broken mind that must be excised from this forum.

The true moral paragons of this thread are those who rarely post in it, yet circle it relentlessly like pirahanas, looking for posters to mock, rile up, or have punished.

I'm in my third decade. This used to be pretty rare! I never went to war as an adolescent or pre-adolescent. I have never witnessed firsthand the ravages of war on my loved ones, nor the effects of starvation, illness, disease, and rot. I mean, I've had to work a lot, and that sucks, but in terms relative to the vast majority of human experience and history, I've lived a tremendously fortunate and long life. Literally so rude to whine about that.

It's more about the subject or general consensus of the thread than anything that is actually posted in it. "Climate Change is going to be terrible and is unstoppable." This thread represents that anxiety or worry here on Something Awful.

When people don't like that truth they are going to deal with it in a variety of ways but most types of people just want to shut the topic down entirely and it doesn't matter how it's being discussed.
