Global warming, more like global hoax.

[Xant]

That's the whole point of statistics...

Ehm, no. Arguing from the bottom line is not good science.

[Molly]

There is no "good science" any more since Science is a business as everything else.
It probably used to be different a few decades or a century back but nowadays statistics are abused to show what you wanna show which isn't necessarily an image of the objective reality.

Holy fuck a global warming thread? Isn't this a cliche yet?

The problem is that most of the things being done has nothing to with the topics on that billboard, except maybe from privatized initiatives.

Instead what is being pushed is something as stupid as 'quotas' where companies buy quotas to be able to pollute more, making those who sell/manage the quotas billionaires and the companies keep on polluting just as much as before except they now have to pay for it, but in order to reduce the loss they just increase their prices, lower wages and increase the work hours.

I don't think anyone in this thread disagree about moving towards cleaner and better energy, towards a Green Energy world, it is simply the best no matter what, energy from the ocean, the sun, from lightning and what not, much more and much better than any of our current crap.

Whether or not the climate is changing is a dead end discussion, of course it is changing, it has since the birth of Earth itself. Is current changes part in due to man made pollution? Maybe, maybe not. It doesn't matter. What matters is how we're going to transfer over to Green Energy, which is a much bigger and more intelligent discussion to have, and the answer is most certainly not 'CO2 Quotas' which is the standard being pushed these days.

The problem is how do we get from point A to B, and in order for us to even just begin taking the first real steps we would need to have leaders who care about people and not about staying in office.

I was mightily tempted to present a real argument in this thread.

I do think this is something that is important, whether it be thousands of scientists in on a conspiracy
or
a couple dozen CEO's with financial interests driving the bus the other way.

Climate Disruption is the new term being used by many other Scientists.

Carry on.

If we want to keep the planet cool, we can if we want to and continue producing as much GHG as we want. This is a non-problem. Our dependance on fossil fuels for energy is a short-term problem as we have plenty of known nuclear technologies that can save the day if we actually start investing in them which will happen eventually. Our dependance on petrol for making all sorts of plastics is more worrisome actually. We might have water problems in the future but this will probably be years after we unlock very powerful power sources that will allow us to desalinate sea water on a widespread scale. Sea levels will not rise more than half a meter in the next 100 years if the temperature continues to rise. CO2 is a ridiculously tiny contributor to global warming, as we know nothing about water vapor and many other GHG, and we know for sure that methane is more than one order of magnitude more powerful than CO2. The only reasonable thing to do on a human scale to stop global warming and be more healthy is to stop or severely reduce meat consumption.

There is no global warning, just periods of time between ice ages.

Yes. Phyrex is widely considered to be the best duelist EU side, at least he's the one most people would agree on. And then we have people like Bjord, Hearst, Cicero(ololo), Atze... pretty much all of the top EU duelists are or were dedicated 2handers in the Good Times; certainly they played 2handers as their mains, and people are biased when it comes to their mains, alts can be disregarded at will. And Phyrex is the dedicated 2hander, he played with nothing else and is the father of lolstab.

He was not the father of lolstab, but you wouldn't remember who was. Back in the back then, it used to be TheNarrator who was regarded as the best "thruster". Phyrex merely took his technique and perfected it, while as TheNarrator remained above average. Phyrex no-lifed until he surpassed both me and TheNarrator, and then I started playing a lot more competetively in cRPG and we were more or less equal.

But yes, I'm positive had Phyrex not rage-quit because of the thrust nerf, he'd be a strong contender for the title of Best E-Penis Holder.

Xant proves to us once again that not only is a fruitcake, but out of touch with reality as well.

Lots of environmental scientists report that climate change caused by human impact is a real thing. I choose to believe them.

I'm not saying that my opinion is invalid due to a lack of education in their specialty, just that if a majority of them agree on something, it's probably got more truth in it than the reverse.

A lot of the arguments against climate change are, well, similar to the arguments for Abrahamic creationism and other science vs. religion discussions.

It's like us disbelieving our best duelists about how the combat mechanics of cRPG work, except in real life there are no devs to back up or discount your views. All we have are the estimates of people who care about a subject more than everyone else, and if they agree on something, I feel like they're more likely to be right about it than any other group of people.
