Real talk though, setting aside the sadbrain stuff and doom and gloom just how bad is the current projected rate of change?

It seems like there's a hell of a lot of variability in what people are saying. You've got some folks that are giving "Hothouse Earth" end of the world speeches while others are saying that we can kiss our current culture of consumerism goodbye in a century or so. poo poo, even this thread has people going back and forth on it.
I mean sure this page has debate between "the utter collapse of modernity and civilization as we know it" down to "most life on earth and all human civilization for millenia" but those are fairly after-the-point debates that start from an agreement point that reality is very doom and gloom.

You dunk on everyone who thinks the situation is really bad
what the gently caress are you talking about? why would you pull poo poo like this completely out of your rear end in a top hat? try finding a quote where i do this even once, let alone as a pattern. you can't, because you're not actually talking to me you're talking to some made up bullshit in your head.

quote:

and now you're dunking on a person who doesn't know which level of terrible they should anticipate.
yes because they explicitly framed the question on the premise of denial.

No they are right, most of your posts are angry and confrontational.
I dare you to source three quotes that support their point, which you seem to have already forgotten and rephrased so i'll quote it to you to remind you

quote:

You dunk on everyone who thinks the situation is really bad

they didn't accuse me of being angry and confrontational, they accused me of "dunking on everyone who thinks the situation is really bad"... which is a categorically false accusation. as is your support of it when you say "they are right".

when people confront me with false accusations, I will be mean in my responses. if you make poo poo up you're an rear end in a top hat, gently caress you, the end.

I don't know how you can look at the recent history of nuclear rector development and construction and conclude that it will be any faster at meeting demand.

If anything, wind and solar are obviously and demonstrably faster to implement at least up to ~40% of demand, which we are nowhere near at present. Beyond that things get dicey, and I'm as gung-ho about nuclear as the next guy provided someone can put forward a design that doesn't take a shitzillion years to build with innumerable design and construction problems. But until we've plucked the low hanging fruit of scaling wind+solar to the point where additional capacity requires overcoming major infrastructure and storage hurdles, it makes sense to focus on those as an easy win.

you clearly do not understand the scope of the problem.

taking your own numbers, how long should we "focus" on wind & solar to get to ~40% of demand?

how does that line up with the latest IPCC report's de-carbonization timelines?
