Jan. 6 is a clearcut example that organized people can alter history regardless of whether they are armed or not. It’s about having the opportunity more than anything. But you make it seem as if a new civil war would look something like the last one, with a rebel faction in uniform fighting on a battlefield against the US military. In reality it would look nothing like that at all and would probably be something more like the Syrian conflict. Which is a terrible thought, but it would be chaotic and involve various groups utilizing guerrilla tactics and supported by certain international actors who desire to see instability in the US. Hopefully that never happens. Regardless, to narrow down my point, it’s no secret that police and the military are largely made up of conservative minded people. And police have shown themselves willing to look the other way when it comes to groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. In fact, members of those groups have been police. With fascism rising, white nationalism rising and certain politicians repeating their propaganda and dog whistles, I have no desire to hand over my safety and security when faced with such an uncertain future. Even more so when you account for the instability that climate change will be bringing in the very near future.

I can't say how bad over the next year. Year by year you can have pretty drastic differences, but it's the long-term trend you have to look at. But 100 years from now, I don't think you're going to find many humans on this planet, if you find any... We're very rapidly approaching a point where a virologist with the motivation and modest means can produce a handful of deadly, contagious viruses and wipe out most of mankind. This isn't crazy talk. You can order DNA on the internet. You can buy the equipment to manufacture viruses for less than the cost of a house. We have complete genomes (publicly available info) for thousands of viruses. Some might ask, "why would someone do that?" I'd say, "Ask Stephen Paddock, Jim Jones, David Koresh, and Jin Ruchao, among others." You can't tell me Stephen Paddock wouldn't have wiped out mankind given the opportunity. So it's not a matter of IF it will happen. It's simply a matter of when a virologist gets angry enough. And if by some chance that just doesn't happen (maybe civilization collapses first), then we're screwed in a number of other ways. Every day there are stories about how climate change is worse than they originally predicted. Today from Scientific American, "This Hot Summer Is One of the Coolest of the Rest of Our Lives" An article on CBS today about lakes in the Arctic disappearing, "Scientists long expected that Arctic lakes would expand with climate change as ground ice continued to melt and climate models showed that drying would not be seen until at least 2060 or 2150." Oops, guess they botched that prediction pretty badly. All the glaciers are disappearing way faster than they ever predicted. Nobody predicted the massive methane emissions from thawing permafrost, and thawing permafrost wasn't anything we were expecting to see in the 2000s, if you asked 20 years ago. A lot of people find this really depressing. I mean, I've done a good bit of research in this and I don't really see a silver lining. Our best case scenario is that there will be a massive loss of life and maybe some people will survive long-term, but I think it's unlikely. I'm way past the emotional side of this. Until someone can show me something super-promising, I see this as more or less, a fact waiting to happen. Did I mention the plummeting fertility rates for men? Between 1930 and 1992, sperm counts in men in America dropped about 50%. They continue to fall and those rates are now dropping worldwide. Within a few decades, most men will be effectively infertile. So you tag that on to all the other stuff going wrong and it's going to be hard to survive.

Solar and hydroelectric don't need to be enemies as they both have vastly lower carbon emissions over fossil fuel natural gas and coal power plants. If collectively most of the world's carbon was from of solar and hydro construction, we'd be in a much much different world. Not every place is fortunate to have vast hydro resources like Canada and especially Quebec. With climate change and droughts, and water rights being huge contentious points, hydro dams looking less feasible in many parts of the world. The research is showing that solar panels re-coup their carbon emissions within months to 3 years. As the world wide grid becomes more carbon free, so too will the manufacture of solar panels. Solar panels (and renewables in general) solve their own carbon emissions problem. Also, with the ample rooftop and parking lot area of a typical solar factory, wouldn't they start installing solar panels onto their own roofs? Their CO₂ emissions would go down significantly by using the very product the factory makes! 25 years is only the warranty period of most solar panels and 25 years is a long time indeed. Even then, the panels will still have some 80% of their original power capacity available. Solar farms are the lowest levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of all energy sources with wind a close second depending on its on- or off-shore wind. Solar farms may actually never die either. They can "rejuvenate" themselves by incrementally and partially replacing old panels with newer generation panels even as the farm is still running. Other power plants like hydro, coal, gas, nuclear need near complete or total dismantle & rebuild. Both processes require skilled workers and machinery. Solar farms can be built mostly by most any able-bodied person off the streets with minimal training and gear. Everything is on the ground too. Older aged solar panels can be donated or sold to less demanding applications. Consider 80% capacity remaining on a **free** or much reduced-cost panel is better than 0% which you'd get with no panels. Solar panels are incredibly robust being sealed solid-state semiconductor components. They may never actually reach 0% functionality. The video was relating to rooftop solar. It needs to be said that only solar is able to so seamlessly blend into the urban landscape. Solar operates completely silently with no moving parts. Solar panels provide the most efficient use of energy as every watt generated locally is a watt not stressing a distant power plant or the grid to transmit that watt. Only solar does this. Residential and commercial solar actually "unloads" the grid. Persistent strong heat waves are making the news these days all over the world. It needs to also be said that solar works extremely well in heat waves as heatwaves come with abundant sunshine. The local energy grid experiences some of it's maximum stress levels during heatwaves and residential & commercial solar helps unload the grid at this critical time. Pervasive residential/commercial solar also helps build a more *distributed* grid architecture versus the traditional monolithic *centralized* grid architecture. Distributed systems are far more resilient than centralized ones. Distributed systems are tough to take down completely.

∆ I'll upvote that. Well thought out response and good info to know. I prefer deep diving on the subtleties of something rather than just blindly accepting the entirety of an ideology. At the very least i want to look at this issue as something more than EV GOOD, ICE BAD. >but I would argue that climate change is the most immediate threat to the environment, and because of that and the difficulty of quantitatively comparing the impact of different chemicals, it makes sense to treat greenhouse gas emissions as the primary variable to minimize. My only response to this, is that if that is the case, then the first thing that should be on the agenda for environmentalist types is becoming Vegan. I'm not a Vegan myself, but it's clear that the carbon footprint of factory farming is not sustainable. It goes far beyond what passenger ICE cars ever did. We cannot provide meat for everyone in the world to have every single day. It is not good for the planet. You don't just get to buy a flashy new 80,000$ EV and show off your cool car and then stop there. If these people truly want to "minimize carbon footprint" eating meat should be the first step before the car you drive. That is if we are going in the order of priority of what's most detrimental like you mentioned. In my eyes, a vegan in an ice car is more environmentally conscious than some rich dude who bought a tesla. The only way to get the world to stop eating meat or reduce meat consumption is to legislate it, so long as it's legal and people want it, they will do what it takes to get it. and good luck changing that. They're trying with fake artificial meat, but i predict that to be a failure that needs more years of research and technology before it ever takes off. Some sources cite animal agriculture responsible for over 80% of global greenhouse gasses. That' IN SANE. that HAS to be exaggerated. If that's the case you see why i'm not as concerned over an ICE car versus eating meat.

The failure of Yucca Mountain, Fukushima, the leaks found at San Onofre, Chernobyl and the fact that nuclear sites can apparently be used to store your troops and ammo does not make me feel reassured. Tell me where you're going to store the waste, tell me how you're going to remove the fissile material under extreme circumstances, how to stop a meltdown, and how to protect it from being used as enemy strongholds and you've got my support. Specially with sea level rise and extreme climate change your can't guarantee that the location you pick today to build a plant will be safe tomorrow.

I'm all for protests as long as they don't involve damage of people or property. Despite the fact that I value this world and its living things more than any and all property if we go around smashing stuff it's just going to corrupt the important message and turn people against it and us. Everyone needs to come together on climate change and we need to educate climate change deniers rather than shout them down or insult them and especially never try to hurt them. A united human race is what is required to help the Earth and we won't get that if we attack each other.

>*"We know precisely what carbon levels do to the climate."* No, we don't. When we are talking about "the rise in carbon levels," we're not talking about soot dust blowing in the air. We're talking about **carbon dioxide**. That's usually between .04 and .05 percent of the atmosphere. As in 4 parts per ten thousand. Water vapor is the most abundant and most active greenhouse gas. The level of water vapor varies. 20% humidity is about 400 times as much as the average CO2 readings, and humidity is not a global constant. We can replicate all of water vapor's known effects in the laboratory. But when it comes to the "carbon cascade effect" where just a little more C02 radically changes the behavior of the atmosphere, it's never been shown or replicated in the lab. **It's a computer projection,** a massive fudge factor that can't be accounted for in nature. Speaking of 50 years, there have been at least two spans in that period when the climate change predictions have failed for years, **including right now.** There isn't a single "expert" out there who can actually tell you how to lower global temperature. And as Sri Lanka has demonstrated, the accepted "solutions" will drive people into poverty and starvation. Except for a self-appointed group of elites that somehow the rules don't apply to.

So it’s called global warming because it’s a warming of earth’s base temperature. Even a few degrees difference can have massive effects on the planet and it’s inhabitants. The fact that different parts of the world are getting record lows and record highs in daily temperatures is one of those effects. It’s why they stopped calling it global warming… because a level of ignorance of the scope of what a warming planet entails was confusing people when they were getting record lows. Climate change, while not as detail related but still accurate to describe the issue, was easier for people to understand in name. Global warming/climate change is 100% a real thing. Denial of that is pretty stupid at this point, and I believe the government’s foux salutations have only exacerbated the issue of acceptance from people. It’s important to recognize that global climate change is a natural thing too, but unfortunately humans are vastly impacting the rate at which this thing is happening. And make no mistake, it is a dangerous problem. We could essentially create a planet that is no longer habitable to us, or on a smaller and sooner scale, change earth to a world that is not at all livable in the way we’re used to. You can be AnCap, or capitalist, or libertarian, or even Republican and still acknowledge the existence and severity of this issue, without agreeing with how the liberals or the government want to solve this issue. None of the dumbass mandates they want to do are going to actually solve the problem. I believe wholeheartedly that the free market would solve this issue far more effectively than the government.

Lower speeds are much more fuel efficient, reduce energy in crashes and level the playing field for electric cars. It would be an excellent climate change policy, reduce stupid pointless deaths, and annoy travelling sales people. All wins.

Well, according to this [source](https://news.stanford.edu/2016/09/01/extreme-weather-winters-becoming-common/), this [source](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5928063/), this [source](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abi9167), and this [source](https://journals.ametsoc.org/configurable/content/journals$002fclim$002f33$002f18$002fjcliD190994.xml?t:ac=journals%24002fclim%24002f33%24002f18%24002fjcliD190994.xml&tab_body=fulltext-display), (these are all academic sources mind you) it’s happening everywhere. Global climate change will mean more extreme winters. That frozen stuff also won’t necessarily be arable for crops, and you also have to factor in the effects of [soil degradation](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10661-020-08429-5), [water resources](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/J-Tarafdar/post/How_climate_change_impact_on_water_situation_in_India/attachment/5f4643f36a5a0300017b1b09/AS%3A928740653682689%401598440435831/download/JEEpaper-ImpactofClimateChangeonWaterResourcesinIndia.pdf), and [other issues](https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/3/1318/htm) that will affect our current amount of arable land thanks to climate change. Events such as flooding as this video shows end up stripping the soil of nutrients needed to grow crops, and these events are much more frequent under climate stress.

Build three more plants with the same nameplate rating as Diablo Canyon, while keeping DC online, and we probably won't have to build *any* new power plants of any kind for the next twenty years. We probably won't even need to continue to pave over our desert lands with solar panels and turbines in order to satiate a demand of almost 50,000 MW during the summer. By the way, California's peak power demand was in July 2006. Our consumption has yet to reach the same level of demand in over 16 years. Even with the proliferation of EVs, self-generating homes will probably offset a lot of what we would otherwise see as demand, at least for the next few years. Diablo Canyon supplies us with 2,256MW (+/- 10MW) of power every day, and has done so without issues for decades. Right now, DC is running at 100% of its nameplate capacity, and has been running between 99.8 and 100.3% of its rating all day, and will do so again tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after tomorrow. Nuclear power is clean, consistent, and cheap (fuel costs in 2014 were 6 cents a KWh). If you care about the environment, you would support keeping it online. >California’s planet-warming emissions rose by 2% after the San Onofre generating station in San Diego County malfunctioned, eventually leading to its permanent closure. That wasn’t the only reason emissions rose, but it was almost certainly a factor. > >Similarly, the share of New York state’s electricity coming from natural gas, a fossil fuel, rose by 4 percentage points after one of two reactors at the Indian Point nuclear plant closed last year. The other reactor produced its final electrons last month. > >It doesn’t have to be that way, and Diablo Canyon was supposed to be a model of how to retire a nuclear plant without worsening the climate crisis. But critics say Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Public Utilities Commission is failing in that mission. > >“Diablo’s retirement is going to increase greenhouse gas emissions. And their planning is not doing anything to prevent that,” said Mark Specht, an energy analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists. “We should have figured this out by now.” [https://web.archive.org/web/20210518122307/https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-05-18/california-climate-change-nuclear-power-plant](https://web.archive.org/web/20210518122307/https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-05-18/california-climate-change-nuclear-power-plant) It's 2022, not 1962 or 1982 or 2002. We literally have the technology and expertise to build nuclear power plants that do not meltdown, that do not need freshwater, that recycle their own fuel, that survive earthquakes, that aren't affected by global commodities prices like gas and coal. [Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Verde_Nuclear_Generating_Station) is a nuclear power plant located in Arizona, but Californian entities own 27% of the power plant, and so of the 3900MW it produces, we get around 1000MW a day. You'll find that we never drop below 1000MW in imports in the [CA ISO supply tab](https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.html). Now you know why. Someone commented that CA doesn't have enough fresh water to build another plant. I don't know man, but they built [Palo Verde](https://www.google.com/maps/place/33%C2%B023'21.0%22N+112%C2%B051'54.0%22W/@33.3824457,-112.854454,7410m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xc48261497c351086!8m2!3d33.389167!4d-112.865?hl=en) in a state known for being dry. If that doesn't persuade you that these engineering problems aren't as limiting as you think, no one can convince you.

So the one I have is the UK one. The fan speed control and temperature are all on the screen. You press the climate button and it takes you to a separate page on the screen. That's why I'm unsure if I can change it.

I'm speaking from the UK, but I agree with the user above. Feels like a recent development. I would put it down to the working environment impacts of Covid-19, and the urgency around macro agendas like climate change trickling down to team management.

Funny you say that, I read it as the reverse. Social right, economic left: > Labour have been so weak on crime that there are no repercussions. National are so austeric and focused on widening the gaps that foster crime in the first place. > The pushing of the new "co-governance" structures will only worsen things. The majority of poor working class Maori have well and truly be left behind and fucked by Neo-Liberalism. Giving power to iwi-elites and another social peking order which largely supports the Neo-liberal paradigm / crony capitalism is not going to benefit disconnected urban Maori one iota. But that's precisely what OP was going for - political spectrum ambiguity, since this is about reforms beyond partisanship. As they said: > Our political and managerial classes in NZ are largely responsible for the shitstorm that is brewing - voter apathy, extreme social division, significantly rogue actors seeking power, discontent, crime, chaos and disorder, **because none of them have what it takes to work together on the bigger issues, or make bold decisions for the benefit of the future** (i.e means testing superannuation, improving housing/infrastructure, climate change, fairness in taxes, laws that support smaller businesses over bigger corporations, (fletchers, supermarkets, etc).

>This implies for a single event (which has one magnitude) Can there be a set of events leading to anything other than a single magnitude? Do you have an example? Also, I know very little of Earth Sciences so please forgive such a basic question. Given the plate attachments/locations in the late Jurassic (the time the movie is set in), how would this and the climate of the time compare to recent history/understanding of earthquakes? I guess I want to know how accurately we can infer since Earth has undergone so much change since then. Does climate impact plate movement or is it the inverse? Thank you in advance.

Do agree with you on the last bit, armchair activists are not all that useful, but I think saying our world does not have issues still large and worth fighting is not quite right. There are still massive human rights battles to be fought all across the globe, some where victory was won before. LGBTQA+ rights alone still need to be fought in the USA, Saudi Arabia (and much of the Muslim world with it), swathes of Asia, and even Europe (looking at you Russia). And this ignores all the other issues, racism, ableism, sexism, and more, these are fights still being fought. ​ All this is without stating this century's unique issues, the vast socio-scientific changes that we will be tasked with dealing with, and that define the fate of our species. Climate change, genetic engineering, AI and the redundancy of human work, radical life extension technologies so on, so forth. ​ Maybe this isn't quite what you meant, but I say it regardless. We do need people to emulate the greats of our past, this is absolutely a time of heroes. It won't be everyone, can't be, but we should try to inspire and raise what heroes we can.

Every decade, since... 1950 or 1960, there's been some sort of impending catastrophe that has yet to be realized and it frequently changes. You have John Kerry telling the public that because of climate change, the sea levels are rising and then going out and buying a beach house. But the biggest fuel of my skepticism is this: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493739074/50-years-ago-sugar-industry-quietly-paid-scientists-to-point-blame-at-fat The sugar industry paid scientists to lay and determine that fat was responsible for arterial sclerosis. Many people seem to forget that not only are scientists fallible, they are also human and vulnerable to greed and other selfish desires. But I remember the diet pyramid reflecting that you should only have 2-3 services of meat a day. That's what they taught in schools. It's what I grew up "knowing." And it lasted for FIFTY years until it came out that it was utter horseshit. But people point to studies or articles "The science says 'x'" and I can never take it at face value. There are too many technologies for senators to invest in, and push, to ever trust them to tell the truth on the basis of science. There's money to be made in the climate panic

The problem is it advance faster, but only where there is profit, at the expense of the environment. And this is systematic: there can't be growth without extracting more value from the earth (to transform into products or energy) This kind of decentralised solution emerges for a reason: we need to highly reduce our impact on the environment and thus put a stop to the systems behind this destruction. This comes at a cost of comfort (which could be debated, people can adapt very fast, and solarpunk is far from middle age comfort and technology still exist) and the easy to sell innovation. Personally I'm losing hope in a high-tech solution to climate change (nor do I trust the people with economic power to come up with actual solutions), and this kind of low-tech fiction is an interesting alternative that shouldn't be only discussed in altermondialists circles

>ain't no one using their teeth to slaughter their dinner and chew it up raw off the bone. Lol! Thanks for the chuckle. I generally don't get into discussions of the morality of killing other animals. Not everyone is empathetic. But hey! Be empathetic towards your kids/grandkids or the future humans from whom you are borrowing this planet. Don't do them dirty and leave it in a worse condition than now. I'm childfree due to climate change, it astonishes me how people who are having kids (not everyone, of course) still don't want to make changes in their lifestyle. Think about your kids, people!

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provide executive summaries of all their reports, with the idea of making the language simple and understandable. They are completely objective, and the only people questioning their objectivity are those with vested interests themselves. https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGII_SummaryForPolicymakers.pdf

Now is ALWAYS the time, because they will keep generating refugees ... it is often a tactic. For instance, if there is (which there may indeed not be) any good actors in Iraq, it may indeed be better to fund them with arms and wars to end the chaos then to help the victims because they will end the problem faster and more permanently. But, there may be no good actors (there are probably no good viable political groups in Iraq) and so helping refugees is good. I do give money to relief organizations, non-political freedom supporting groups, and especially environmental/climate groups, and work directly in global warming mitigation. To be realistic, the world simply is too backward and politically stupid to aggressively tackle climate change right now, so the refugees, deaths from heat and starvation will be absolutely devastating. It will eventually be solved, I work towards that, not towards the tragic short term, simply my choice of where to act. Good luck with your efforts, I may give directly because you provided links.

>3. What are people taking action agains? Will it be government, because that will just be a civil war. Which is worse? Civil war or abject tyranny at the hands of an authoritarian government? When Trump was President people defended the political violence of the BLM riots because that was righteous struggle against an evil oppressor. Are Democrats incapable of oppressing those they see as a threat to them? >Will it be external? No, we have nuclear weapons. That's a little naive. Our enemies can whittle away at our ability to influence the outside world without provoking a nuclear response. cyber attacks and economic warfare and invasion of our discourse with propaganda can't be repelled with nukes. >The real crisis scenarios are climate change economic collapse, and natural disasters. The larger threat of economic collapse comes from people simply not wanting to work jobs to support the economy anymore. Climate change isn't causing that, unless you count the irrational fear of climate change causing millions of young people to become hopeless and nihilistic for no good fucking reason. >Ground-based combat in the United States will only be civil. I don’t want these militia guys taking point of a crisis. They immediately become the biggest threat to other civilians. Maybe, but during the parade shooting in Dallas where 5 cops were gunned down by a BLM supporter. there was a group of about 50 of those militia guys armed with AR's, and yet there wasn't a single instance of friendly fire between the militia guys and the police because the militia guys followed all of the rules you are supposed to follow during an active shooter scenario. So where are all of these people accidentally shooting each other's faces off? I'm sure you can point to a few idiots out there, but it seems to me like you're advancing a stereotype to justify your general disdain for everyone who holds a conservative opinion on 2A. >4. Guns do not give you earned authority; it just gives you forced authority. If the only reason your in charge is a gun, then you are no leader. Who is talking about being in charge? I'm talking about having the ability to not die when an attacker comes to kill you.

Instead of talking to strangers on the internet, why don't you have a serious conversation with her. Ask her if it's something that makes her sad and so she's completely against it or if she would consider adoption or what she's thinking. This could be one of those momentary "omg why would anyone want a kid in a world that has worsening climate change, wars etc?" And the next minute it's "I want to work towards a better world for the kids I want to have in the future". People change their opinions. Explore her thought process with her.

“1,200 scientists out of hundreds of thousands disagree with the verbiage of “emergency”, when speaking on climate change, but still very much believe in climate change and global warming” ….is what the headline should have said. I found and read the article. In a nutshell- the scientists believe in climate change, but not the non-uniform measures for assessing what is or isn’t considered a climate “emergency”. And it will be important moving forward to distinguish different climate changes based on a trusted method. I fucking hate headlines and the way news is presented + consumed nowadays. He posted this with NO context 😂 and it doesn’t even defend the fact that global warming isn’t real sooo.. (I’m assuming that’s what his rectangular self was getting at)

I've considered it (41F), for the purpose of meeting someone and for a change of scenery. I live in the South, and it seems to be primarily family men here, or guys who just wanna hookup. Luckily, I have a great job which allows me to relocate pretty much anywhere. I've even considered living in a different country. If you're seriously thinking about it, make sure to do your research on the singles population, and even more importantly the following: crime rates, local economy, overall cost of living, real estate market, traffic, climate, culture/entertainment.

>It’s true of course that the I.R.A. got no Republican votes. But I think also about the infrastructure bill, which was not talked about in climate terms, but packed a fair amount of climate punch in it, and which was passed on a bipartisan basis. Does a growing silence about climate on the right open up more opportunities like that, do you think? >Absolutely not. There isn’t a single Republican in my state who has lifted a finger on climate change. And until the Republican Party starts to develop a positive effort, the only solution is for them to stay out of public life — to remain in private life, where they can’t do any harm. >It doesn’t matter what sort of bland statements that they issue saying, “Oh yeah, I know climate’s a problem.” It’s how they vote. There are no votes, zero votes. There’s no votes in the Senate for climate action from the Republican Party. Zero. So they need to remain in private life. We need to do everything we can to ensure that until they change their stripes, and there’s no sign of that at the moment. >I hate to say that. It’s painful to say that because here you have this national catastrophe and you only have one party working. Until that changes, we need to elect Democrats. It’s the only game in town.

The climate crisis can only be solved if every single person in this planet contributes, that's just the reality. Let's say we agree that it's mostly big corporations causing climate change, as long as people continue giving those companies money we will continue to destroy the planet. The easiest thing to do is to simply stop supporting the corporations, isn't it? So yes, normal people are definitely part of the problem too

Deflection is rife in the current political scenario. It is important to understand our history and learn the consequences of our actions in the past. That said, it is easy for politicians to deflect all the current crises we face (climate change, inequality, corruption, diminishing freedom of press) by letting two or more factions fight between themselves. It is easy to get pulled into this cycle and the worse part is that nobody who fights is a winner - only the spectators (politicians) win in this game.

I suppose you're right. I have a nasty habit of dismissing problems that existed before I was born. "You kids have it so good now." and all that. But, then, that's kinda the whole thing? It was bad in the 80s, but people were expecting it to get better. It's good now. But I'm expecting eventual societal collapse under climate change and other pressures. Though I'm not really sure about that either. Shit... maybe all the people who 'don't care' have the right idea.

High temperatures could put stress on California’s electrical system, warned the state grid operator, as energy demands rise, largely due to air conditioning needs. Over the weekend, when temperatures are supposed to be hottest, electricity conservation may be necessary to avoid outages, they added.

[Israel's official total mortality numbers were released](https://www.cbs.gov.il/he/Pages/search/TableMaps.aspx?CbsSubject=תמותה_ותוחלת_חיים) 2020 was the year of "once-in-a-century pandemic" with no vaccines available. But total mortality in [2021 and 2022](https://www.cbs.gov.il/he/publications/LochutTlushim/2020/p-2.xlsx) was still dramatically higher. No country used mRNA Covid shots earlier or more aggressively than Israel. Two years later, deaths from all causes have been higher *every month* in 2022 in Israel than any year since 2017. They are 15% above the 2017-2020 average. What's killing people en masse? Climate change? If this is mRNA success I’d hate to see failure.

You posted a graph meme that attempted to discredit climate change, claiming your shitty data deserved as much notoriety as actual climate change, claiming "why don't they get the same amount of coverage!?!?" When people told you, you hid behind "this post isn't about climate change!"

Your main two points appear to be that 1. Personal transportation is responsible for a very small part of global carbon emissions and environment impact in general, and 2. An actual comparison of the environmental impact of ICEs and EVs is difficult to quantify. I'll address point 2 only. Yes, you are absolutely right that it is difficult! Lithium/cobalt waste is not the same as carbon dioxide emissions is not the same as NOx is not the same as diesel particulate. There are thousands of different chemicals that affect the environment in different ways. The EPA uses "CO2 Equivalent" emissions to compare energy use and chemicals that act as greenhouse gases relative to how much a certain amount of energy or a certain mass of a chemical affects the earth's mean temperature. You can find the EPA's calculator here: https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator I don't know the science behind this CO2 equivalent calculation, but when we talk about comparing lifetime emissions of ICEs and EVs (a comparison which most apples-to-apples studies agree EVs win, but the amount by which they win varies widely), this is the metric that is usually used. Things like lithium waste from batteries and iron waste from engine blocks are not addressed by the calculator since they are not greenhouse gases. Similarly with non-fuel fluids like oil and coolant. All this is to say that I understand and agree that all of these chemicals have an important impact on the environment, but I would argue that climate change is the most immediate threat to the environment, and because of that and the difficulty of quantitatively comparing the impact of different chemicals, it makes sense to treat greenhouse gas emissions as the primary variable to minimize. That's why we talk about carbon taxes, carbon emissions, etc. in any conversation about environmental preservation. I will also say that for all the chemicals I mentioned--lithium, iron/steel, and some consumable fluids used in an ICE--there are ways to recycle them to minimize buildup in the environment. In summary, yes, it is hugely difficult to accurately quantify "total environmental impact" and as far as I know no such metric has been developed yet. However, "CO2 equivalent emissions" is a well-thought-out alternative metric, and is currently the best option we have for any "environmental friendliness" metric used in any comparison at all.

TBH honest the energy bills are two different problems often added together: Anyone who's dependent on gas to heat or produce warm water is fairly fucked. These often are people who were unable to renovate to make their homes more efficient or people who rent. So financial lower- to lower middle class. Or (and here it gets a bit interesting) people who did indeed recently renovate and used the (illogical) government support to rip out their old oil heating and convert to gas.They often were financially strained already from the high costs of renovations and are now pretty fucked, although I must admit I don't have that much compassion for them as it was basically known to everybody that this is a short sighted idea in terms of climate change alone.(TBF everyone I know who did so is a climate change denier and "green-hater" and did it at least a bit to "rub it in Greta's face"..). But in the end private households will be supplied at least in a reasonable manner (unless we something drastic like sabotage on infrastructure,etc.),but for a lot of people it might be too expensive -unless the government for once keeps the promise made today for a huge "social energy net" for lower incomes. The other side is electrical power.And that is just a collective fraud on the market by the way our electricity wholesale prices work. Basically the most expensive mode of production dictates the prices - once meant to give renewables an advantage over conventional production it has long turned around and supported conventional production - now gas. We only produce something like 10-12% of our power demands with gas and this is normally more meant as a reserve capacity but due to the Frenchies having the real energy crisis (almost half of their nuclear powerplants are off the grid due to age, not enough cooling water or maintenance - and France is creating most it's energy supply with them,including heat) these plants are currently used 24/7. Which in turn created an enormous power bill for a lot of people and enormous profits for some energy companies. (Who then even have the audacity to let their "gas branches" be saved by the people and a special tax introduced for that)

No, it's pretty simple really. You don't want there to be any actual action on climate change, you'd prefer to just post about it and feel progressive. For there to be any actual action you would need to do what needs to be done to actually make change and you aren't interested in that, 43% isn't good enough so you'll happily take Morrison and 25% reduction as that allows you to continue making pathetic attempts at using rape to feel superior.

Excellent question and thanks for putting this to my attention. The Housing crisis is one of the most pressing issues we are facing and there’s no question that it has an impact on climate change. sensitive to policies that are promoting more cars powered by fossil fuels to enter our communities. I would certainly be supportive of introducing this type of policy to the conversation around Housing Production, Climate Justice, and transit-oriented development. Our state leaders are making this big push for transit-oriented development and reducing our reliance on vehicles that emit fossil fuels. In order to accomplish this vision, I do think that means we need to leverage the federal infrastructure dollars to ensure that we have the highest standards of road safety, bike lanes, and a modern public transit system that is safe + reliable so that new developments with reduced or eliminated parking can be a viable strategy for helping to reduce emissions.

One important takeaway from this, is that our ancestors were assholes. Yes, there were heroic acts and great ideas, but ultimately fealty to the dead and their ideas and their way of doing things is undeserved or worse. What this means is that the future is unwritten. We owe them nothing, as future generations should owe us nothing. The future really begins when we stop forgiving the sins of the past, stop saying things like "you have to understand the times," and judge harshly, so that we ourselves, and our descendants, do better: so that we do not expect charity from future generations and so get on with the business of fixing this misery, knowing we will, at least in terms of our legacy, be held accountable. One of many examples is we have failed to constrain climate change. We have, in the process of doing this, blamed everyone but ourselves (Americans, that is), the biggest carbon emitters in the world. We complain limply, we blame industry, and then we buy what industry sells, keeping them afloat and yet we place exclusive blame on systems and institutions to absolve us from any responsibility to alter our own behavior. We look for reasons to divide ourselves, to make coalition-building impossible. We focus on the [wake of the boat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oswx23Tz-_w) which only marks what happens in the past; the wake need not have anything to do with the future. The wake points to the past. And the ship can turn if people just want it to turn, and make the effort to start steering. This atrocity is just one of countless examples of why we should stop trying to resuscitate the past. It is not salvageable. I wonder sometimes if people just lack the courage to face an uncertain future, wrench the boat in the new direction, and take the risk. These photographs of this repulsive human "zoo" is our inheritance from these shitheads. What will the future inherit from us? The names of the men responsible were Truman Hunt and Richard Schneidewind. Did they do this because they themselves were racists, racist-ing like the racist racist-pantses they were? Or to serve some misguided anthropological purpose? No, the bastards did it for **money**. (I bet you guessed that!) There's racism underneath, and there's racism there for any customer who came to gawk. But ultimately this was in service to the god Americans really worship: **cash**. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/igorrote-tribe-traveled-world-these-men-took-all-money-180953012/ > In early 1905, Truman Hunt traveled to Bontoc and made the Bontoc Igorrotes an audacious offer: if they agreed to leave their family and friends behind for a year and journey with him to United States to put on a show of their native customs, he would pay them each $15 a month in wages. > At Coney Island, the Igorrotes performed a distorted version of their tribal rituals. They sang and danced, they held sham weddings and **dog feasts with mutts brought from the pound.**

Only problem is that we are currently destroying our planet so people really won't be able to " do what they want" soon. Either we put rules and restrictions in place ourselves or the climate crisis will eventually force restrictions on us anyway doesn't matter if you want it or not it's still going to happen and the way we live on this planet will change very very soon.

Yes, EV:s are happening. I would agree with you that one more normal EV, car or truck, would not be very interesting to support. But Aptera is different. It is an electric car that is so efficient, that it will be cheaper to use even compared to old gas car. Efficency is the key to get CO2/GDP down as much as possible. When we push CO2/GDP low enough, we will have the solution to climate change. When we can sequester more CO2 with 1 % of our GDP than we emitt I hope it is obvious climate change will be a simple problem. (I don’t have a car, use public transport to get to work, I don’t have any financial interest in Aptera.)

This legislative session has been a tough one. We have seen the legislature appropriately respond when it comes to things like reproductive health, gun control, early education investment, and public transit. There are a couple of areas I would point to as deficiencies. Civic & Voting. This year the legislature should be applauded for modernizing our elections by making mail-in voting permanent and expanding early voting. However, they missed an opportunity to increase participation in our democracy by not joining nearly 20 other states + Washington DC including same-day voter registration into the legislation. Same-day voter registration is a viable strategy for increasing participation in our elections, especially amongst BIPOC communities and younger voters. Educator Workforce. I lead the educator diversity coalition in my day job as the advocacy director at Latinos for Education.. We filed landmark legislation this year to help us diversify the educator workforce and help address the teacher shortages in the profession. While the legislator made some great budgetary investments that our coalition pushed for ($25 million for scholarships + education debt payment & programs to recruit/retain educators), they missed an incredible opportunity to provide more statewide support to districts by passing our bill. This legislation would have provided increased flexibility on licensure, more uniformity around diversification +retention+ hiring + training, additional funding for growing your own pipelines and gave educators a seat at the decision-making table to help solve workforce challenges moving forward. We are now seeing across our Commonwealth that many communities, including Salem, will be dealing with teacher and staffing shortages. This bill was too important not to make it to the finish line. For my part, here’s what I would do differently. First, I plan to integrate myself as a legislator into the types of statewide coalitions that I have led so that we can co-create solutions to the challenges we face across public education. Climate change, public transit, housing, and civic engagement. Second, I would have strongly opposed the approach of prioritizing sports betting over more pressing legislation that was held up like the Economic Development Bill, and the Educator Diversity Act. The legislature consistently runs out of time at the end of the formal session on 31st. I would like to see the body revisit the informal session altogether. In February of the 2nd year of the session, we run into joint rule 10 (the reporting deadline for bills) and then the legislature only gives itself 5 months to consider all the bills that get discharged favorably while navigating the budget and conference committees. My understanding is that this was a change that came about 30 years ago when members of a “Good government” group didn’t want lame ducks and folks who lost their races to pass legislation. While I understand this may have had its merits, it's very clear that too many good priorities are left on the table.

Purely for midterm messaging. It's ultimately a climate change and healthcare bill that will have only modest, long-term impact on inflation, mostly via the medicare price negotiation feature and diversification of the energy grid, but no real short term impact. That said, I'm supportive of about 80% of the bill so I don't really care what they call it.

Alaska and the upper west coast are going to be a much, much bigger prize than most people currently anticipate, I think. I think we're dealing with tiers of insulation from climate change here, though the reasons why some places in the same general risk tier will be more livable will vary (ie the Great Lakes region has fresh water but has other issues). Also we need to look at geological and climatic regions, not state boundaries. The great lakes is a region; the parts of MI and MN that are far from them might as well be Ohio or Iowa climatically speaking. That said I think we know some areas that *are* going to be deeply difficult to persist in- the desert Southwest (water), the Southeast (flooding, hurricanes, and extreme heat/humidity wet bulb), and the non-great-lakes Midwest (drought, fires, heat, cold, tornadoes and extreme storms). Throw in other factors and it's safe to say most of Kansas is going to be a shell of what it once was in the future, for example.

Never forget that Exxon did a study in the 70s and concluded that excess CO2 emissions were causing global climate change, before anyone else did. They then denied it when it began surfacing in the 80s, spread misinformation, lobbied against anything that would cut CO2 emissions, etc. Unfortunately those executives in the 70s have mostly died by now, after getting the opportunity to live full lives, so they won't be facing any guillotines.

How many more years of oil do you think are available in the quantities that we are accustomed to? One silver lining of petroleum-induced climate change is that we can drill in the Arctic. Even so, how much longer can we burn this finite resource until there is simply no more oil to be had? Do we care about the long-term viability of modern civilization? If so, perhaps we should give serious thought to this question and it's implications.

There’s room for more than them. But Nixon also created the EPA and did a lot for climate change and the environment. Gotta take the good with the bad.

It's not really doomsday, it's just realistic. In a few short years, we'll fly past 2C warming. Idk what you expect to happen, but the corporatocracy that we live in right now doesn't give a wet fart about climate change, as evidenced by their continued mass destruction of the planet for their personal short term gains. As a result, climate change has been trivialized for decades and we are very near the point of no return. We would need to make immediate and extremely consequential changes in order to halt its progress, and what we've seen thus far is largely half measures that are stretched out over decades, because for some reason we just cannot bear to allow the halt of obscene capital accumulation for a small minority of people. I try to stay optimistic and keep out of doomer places, but when you simply look at the objective data, it doesn't paint a pretty picture.

The fact that, realistically, we have 20 years max before we all (and I mean, ALL) live in a state of emergency because of climate change. There is no concrete planning. No one is being emotionally prepared. We are still fucking around with techno-optimistic wet dreams instead of addressing systemic problems.

Climate change? For sure we are not acting fast enough. We are so much people that we really cannot understand how much has changed. Also news only signal the bad stuff. I live in Medellín for example, and no body will tell you that we have the lowest murder rate in 50 years. Even way before Pablo. But that kind of things doesn't make it to the news.

How many versions of the definition of the word "recession" did the fools in charge of Wikipedia go through before they shut down that page? I was told, back in the eighties, by the same type of Wikipedian fools in my sentence above that Washington D.C. would be submersed in three feet of water by the year 2005 if they didn't control ~~Climate change~~ Global Warming. These days, the source of the data usually makes it null and void. What happened to the "data" when Facebook decided to not release info on Hunters laptop or just suppress the info on his laptop? They did this at the behest of the FBI. "Data" is only reliable as it's source, and you know that. There are lies, damn lies and then there are ~~data~~ statistics. Edit: How about the "data" that Biden received more votes than any other president in history? Does that "data" jive with his poll numbers today?

Do you really think I haven't heard that exact POV over and over and over again for at least the last 30+ years? I'm sorry. It isn't my intention to be unkind. But there's a balance between idealist/positive thinking and realistic thinking. By that, in this case, I mean that the reality of the situation is that these well out of control changes to the environment are a much, much bigger problem for humankind to work around than (for example) the industrial revolution and its effect on the average person, the average city, and the average nation way back around the turn of the *last* century. That challenge was a paper cut in comparison to the sword-through-the-belly that the challenge of surviving and adapting to climate change is and will be for the foreseeable future. Part of the problem (which the pandemic illustrated in no uncertain terms) is that the world being more connected was the main reason why supply lines crashed. The ways in which the wealthy investor class has changed our global economy in the interest of profit wound up being one of the things most affected by a pandemic. And nothing is being done to moderate that at all... and the next pandemic will almost certainly be worse. I'm not saying to expect it next year or even in your lifetime. But sooner or later, it will happen with some catastrophic results *unless some things about how commerce works are changed in a manner conscious of the simple fact that another pandemic will come*. That's just a tiny piece of it, but it is there. On the topic of disease: as localized weather becomes more extreme (as it is happening now), migrant patterns for animals are changing. This raises the likelihood of pathogens taking hold in places where they couldn't before. In the same package, there are seriously overpopulated places (Bangladesh is the ur-example) which exist in exactly the worst possible places to be as weather changes happen and the oceans begin to rise. This will result in multiple climate refugee crises across the civilized world. Right here in the states, the southwest will be a difficult place to live in relatively short order. And how many people live in or far too near to the mouth of the Mississippi? "New Orleans is sinking" isn't just a great song by The Tragically Hip. Right now, all over the world right around 40% of the global population lives within 100km of an ocean coast. A little more than 3 billion individuals. The ocean doesn't have rise much at all to render hundreds of coastal cities entirely unlivable. Some will just be under water. Miami has been having major issues with high-tide flooding for more than a decade now... and that's just the beginning. I'm just getting started and my reply is already in TL;DR territory. You're right: We WILL find new ways to get water. Right now desalinization technology is being refined and improved. That is very likely the best possible solution to the arising water needs. And crops are constantly being engineered for better survivability, faster growth, higher yields. There are limits to this, of course, but the bigger problem is in how our various cultures react to the knowledge that crops are being engineered. Right now an entirely bullshit "organization" gets paid to do nothing more than to *authorize* products as being non-GMO. There's tags from the Non-GMO Project on thousands of food items, and 99% of them have never been genetically modified (in a lab)... but Domino sugar still pays for, and passes along the cost to consumers, a tag so the consumer (who can't be bothered to do **actual** research) will feel "safe". People will have to be damn close to starvation before they'll finally eat golden rice for two reasons: the media makes its money on keeping people afraid and GMO's became boogeymen to do exactly that, and various and sundry celebrities and politicians with little-to-no critical thinking skills keep speaking loudly on the topic. Its alright to place your bets in line with history... the track record is there. But this isn't like any challenge we as a species have met before... it is much larger by far, and too many people are so bound up in ideology to even consider making changes to help.

The majority of things were produced there; because of capitalist hunger for cheap products. Think about everything in your home that's made in China, then consider their population is 5 times larger than the USA. Look up China working on climate change. You'll be shocked.
