Planet of the Humans is definitely on my to watch list after going to its Wikipedia page.

So I read this and saw that they cited three sources. That's their 'large body of literature'. Hmmm.... well 3 sources isn't exactly a large body, I think to myself. I routinely read papers that cite 5, 6, 7 or more papers. Things where you say "a large body of literature[23-31]".

Well anyway let me check these sources, I think. Maybe they are literature reviews that themselves will contain the citations needed to constitute a "large body of research"!

Huh, here's source 25...

Hm, The Guardian. Well maybe the next one will be an actual research paper. Source 26, coming up...

Hm, "Inside Climate News". That sounds trustworthy? I guess? Well let's check source 27.

Huh, this one doesn't actually have a publisher listed, it's just an author and a title? Well there's a link, let's click it.

Oh okay, it came from Yale. Well, Yale! That's a respectable place!



Actually clicking and reading any of these articles is rage inducing. It's worse than that horrible D&D post I posted a few days ago. Here's a paragraph from the Yale paper:

Just the most disgusting poo poo you've ever read. And where are the loving citations!? WHERE IS THE loving BODY OF RESEARCH, WIKIPEDIA?

Wikipedia is such a loving insane biased ideological lovely website, god drat.

e: the best part of that Yale blog post is that there is a picture of the author who is, you guessed it, a white man.

e2: on wikipedia lovely blog posts that are hosted on yale's servers count as a "body of research". GOD DAMMIT I HATE WIKIPEDIA THIS HAS MADE ME SO ANGRY!

sci-fi novel idea:

we discover a perfect habitable planet 6,000 light years away

FTL travel invented

we abandon earth on a mass exodus to save humanity

as we get closer to our last hope, the composition of the atmosphere changes as the light years decrease

we arrive to a dead, toxic planet. ruins of an alien civilization cover the surface
