My problem with anti-doomists is that they do not value dissemination of the truth. I don’t doubt they believe the lie that emissions have flattened, but I don’t think they know why they believe that.
Yup, cutting down trees is some kind of terrorism. The costume is a protest, like the anti-ICE costumes.

I hope it is clear that me calling fossil fuel and renewables equally infinite is to illustrate the absurdity of calling anything infinite? Only god is infinite, so nothing is. The limit to fossil fuel is when workers cannot bear the heat to work the rigs. The limit to renewables is workers.
they are both infinite

The 12-month running mean global temperature anomaly continues to fall from its peak (temporary), which is mostly in response to cooler conditions over the equatorial Pacific Ocean during the last year (weak La Niña state).

There is some truth to your claim. I care more about voter sentiment than about mass exctinction. I want voters to hate big oil as much as I do. And renewables give them a false sense of security, so I hate renewables for giving big oil cover.

Damn, I don't care where the human interaction comes from; it still helps me do math. I can't figure out what is wrong with my proof, but this social media codependent of mine found an article that I never could have, and I don't care how they found it.
Huh, I found the article you refer to, and you are correct. I guess I trust Ringel's proof more than mine. Thanks! I guess my next step is to run my program on Ringel's arrangement, to watch it choke.

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Mamdani wants to build more housing, according to Trump. Mamdani's silence on the matter speaks volumes. It will be affordable housing, and perhaps the rich will not be exiled, like I would do.

Yup! Big oil could care less about renewables. Brainless corporations grow parabolically without regard to traditional economic excuses for them to do harm. The only hope for survival is to improve the economy with an existential delicense of an oil major; there is no down side or alternative.
Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today:
"Despite great progress in clean energy development (solar, wind, geothermal), global warming has accelerated, as the growth rate of the human-made climate forcing is increasing, not declining (Fig. 1)."

The notion that we will need to replace fossil fuel with renewables is pure colonial conceit. Consumers did not need energy. It was produced, and consumers consumed it to keep it from going to waste. If we chose to survive, and existentially delicensed an oil major, we’d consume less energy.

Did the subprime bubble burst, or did the lenders cash in? Will the AI bubble burst? Who would cash in? Who would lose out? What might happen is that only a few pop stars could afford to create any more, and liberal arts would become even more maligned by STEM than they already are.

He promised he would only drill baby drill on day one. It’s well past day one. I feel lied to.
Trump: "I don't think Saudi Arabia would like me too much if we decided to kill oil and natural gas. There's nothing like it. It works. Windmills don't work. Other things -- I don't want to get it into too much -- but they don't work. What does work is natural gas, oil, nuclear, and other things."

C02 removal isn't the only metric for measuring the value of an ecosystem. Cutting down thousands of old-growth trees creates local environmental impacts that will last many generations and is not something to be done lightly.

First there was social vs individual responsibility. Then there was doomism vs optimism. Now there is government vs economic solutions. I'm on the side of social responsibility, vindicated doomists, economic solutions.
This is the problem with trying to inspire hope using the message "we have the solutions": such a message may inspire the kind of techno-optimism that actually fosters political *dis*engagement.

Watch out! There is a politics-optimist bubble that will block you. I got blocked for claiming climate change is an economic problem more than a political one. The keeling curve proves renewables did not work, so we have to do what I proposed all along. Existentially delicense an oil major.
