the dataset simply isn't large enough. No one here would say that we haven't done a really good job at skewing the data, but on a long enough timeline surely the planet has heated and cooled various times, and our efforts will amount to nothing other than a notable blip in the history of mass extinctions. The rate at which we've accomplished our goals is impressive but if you've purposely selected data from a specific time period when we already know things are changing then you don't really have the true mean and calculating any standard deviation from that mean is not about probability any more but volatility. And it's getting volatile much faster than expected, but it's really not that bad yet.

there's still reasons to be optimistic if you're a cannibal. Think of all the slow-cooked free range meats that are soon to hit the market.

dunno what y'all are talking about but I'm pretty sure at the community and individual level you look out for your friends and don't treat them as a resource to be exploited for profit as we do at a macro level.

"roughly comparable" doing a lot of heavy lifting i'm willing to wager.

If using public transport, the average is 34 square kilometres in America versus 63 square kilometres in Europe.

roughly comparable may as well mean they are both numbers

what if we just put like a big trench in the middle of each lane of the road and we have to connect our exhausts to an emission funnel system that pipes all that waste back into the earth or something

i'm having enough kids to rule my local municipality. I've chosen our home based on low birth rates and aging demographics my kids will grow strong and expand northward, i have been diligently working on a manifesto that lays out the plan in excruciating detail. I have read this thread from end to end and now have the end date locked down on modern civilization. If you're just now having sex, you're already too late but swear fealty to me and your babies will lead an honest life toiling in the plastic fields or ethically and sustainably working the boomer kill floor, you also get to wear your recycled polyester Hawaiian shirt on casual fridays. For those who have been selfless and empathetic enough to not have their junk work, i and my megalomans thank you

Decent article from Jonathon Porritt. https://www.jonathonporritt.com/mainstream-climate-science-the-new-denialism/

Going by the scale of the temperature anomalies we're observing I'm inclined to say that mainstream scientists have been climate deniers all along.

you gotta estimate conservatively or you will be on the wrong side of being wrong
