nq1eyj7,"For half a century , scientists have been warning about the risk of the planet warming by “ 2 degrees. ” It ’ s a catchphrase that plagues the conversation about climate concerns , including at the [United Nation ’ s COP30 meeting] ( https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/un-climate-conferences )  in Belém , Brazil , this month. Take U.N. General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock ’ s remarks to the press this week , in which she stated that member countries had previously committed to limiting global warming “ [well below two degrees] ( https://www.un.org/pga/80/2025/11/17/at-the-press-briefing-at-cop30/ ) . ” That ’ s a huge mistake. Well , the math is right. But the wording , at least where Americans are concerned , is dead wrong.

“ Two degrees ” is a benchmark in Celsius. And the world ’ s leader in [per capita carbon emissions] ( https://cotap.org/per-capita-carbon-co2-emissions-by-country/?gad _ source=1 & amp ; gad _ campaignid=15416182513 & amp ; gbraid=0AAAAADyLLdfYNv _ jL1cgkKXzGY8c5rR4d & amp ; gclid=CjwKCAiAoNbIBhB5EiwAZFbYGNh2RN8280KKjgXeqOePXENeDo3i578RzgMD _ SnMg5nqTn7Z1gFQkhoCNyoQAvD _ BwE ) —a leading culprit of the greenhouse gas effect warming the planet—is the United States. Americans speak in Fahrenheit. Many folks are already loath to take action to combat climate change. Thanks to the rallying cry of “ 2 degrees , ” people in the U.S. are likely to mistake the dangerous warming of the planet as happening almost half as slowly.

my8e7mh,"It ’ s the rise of China coupled with the decline of US hard and soft power. The US is retreating from playing “ world police ” , less police means more crime. At the same time China is becoming more assertive. World war usually starts when the dominant power gets challenged by a rising one. We ’ re not in world war yet but we can feel the tensions rise and the new axes form.

China is weakening economically now ( somewhat similar to financial crisis in 2007 ) , but pursuing manufacturing and overcapacity all the more. More production of “ stuff ” can be repurposed for war later. China is pushing into expertise on technologies vital for future war such as electric cars , batteries , drones , while the US makes this a culture war issue and thinks about the technologies of the future in terms of climate change.

The current government of the US takes actions to further this course by deindustrializing its defense manufacturing base ( or cancelling the previous governments efforts to industrial policy and revive factory construction ) , severing ties to and antagonizing its allies and overall retreating from the world stage as a serious actor. Not sure what ’ s going on on the inside ( writing from a European viewpoint here ) but the current policies resemble those forced on the losing side of a war AFTER the war , so it seems a bit as if we may get away without WW and just by unilateral capitulation of the US.

In any case though , the previous Order which was built on exceptional and unquestioned US military supremacy is crumbling and leads to disorder until a new order emerges or the US regains strength ( hoping for that and wish you guys the best 🇺 🇸 ) .",2025-06-17,Futurology,-3

Clean energy news service Gram w Zielone notes the rates will be indexed annually to average inflation , meaning that electricity from offshore wind farms awarded CfDs could be “ at least several dozen zloty per megawatt hour more expensive ” when they come online.

The planned dates for first power generation are 1 December 2032 for Bałtyk I , 16 December 2032 for Baltic East , and 17 December 2032 for Baltica 9.

Under the auction rules , the successful projects are committed to begin generating and feeding electricity into the grid within seven years of the auction ’ s close , after which the 25-year support period will begin.

Analysts at Pekao note that , thanks to this week ’ s auction , Poland has accounted for 39% of offshore wind power capacity successfully auctioned in Europe this year.

They also point out that Poland ’ s 25-year support period is longer than those offered elsewhere , such as Ireland and France , which provide 20 years , and that prices were higher.

“ For comparison , the auction price in Ireland was EUR 99/MWh ( as of November this year ) , while in France it was EUR 66/MWh ( as of September this year ) , ” they said. “ A high price supports the likelihood of offshore projects being implemented. ”",2025-12-21,europe,2

Steak tartare and raw sushi are exceptions because you know the fish is fresh and you know where you got the meat from. However , there is the small chance and actual risk that that meat and those fish could potentially make you sick.

Chances are super low , but it is still there


As for candy eating a whole bunch of candy is totally unhealthy and not good for you in anyway , but bacteria tend to not feed on candy because it ’ s ultra processed that processing gets rid of the bacteria and viruses that could potentially harm you

Now the actual onus is on corporations to curb emissions. They are the main emitters but they don ’ t really care over the bottom line.

The EU , China , Australia , etc have 2035 pencilled in as the dates to phase out purely-ICE vehicles , so it's not so far-fetched that Canada plan to do the same.

It's only nonsense so far as the Canadian auto market is determined more by the larger US market than any independent choices we make ( when automakers phased out small cars in the US , they did so for Canada too , for example ) , and with the US deciding it can throw the industry into chaos by turning the clock back on not just EV regs , but emissions regs too ... It's gonna be a mess. That said , in three and a half years there could be someone with a brain back in the Oval Office , or a majority in Congress who will bring about a planned phase-out of new ICE passenger vehicles , though 2040 may be more realistic given how much chaos Trump has created that will require fixing. We'll probably see more leeway when it comes to mild hybrids and PHEV's moving forward too.

& gt ; It ’ s impossible to build EV stations in rural parts of Canada and cold weather really inhibits the battery life of EVs.

I don't think it's impossible. Where there's something connected to the grid , there can be a plug to recharge EV's ( more or less ) .

And as far as battery performance in cold weather goes , it is getting better. Better battery chemistry , more efficient cabin heat pumps , battery pre-conditioning , etc have made improvements to cold weather efficiency , but it's still a ways to go.

Naturally , this creates a problem when we don't have 21 years of data into the future - so how can we say if we have reached +- 1.5C?

FWIW - we are likely past 1.5C by that method. But we do not know for certain. And there was no standard method of measuring how much warming has occured set when the 1.5C target was made.

meuwbop,"So I grew up in a very rural place and my dad is a Boomer that was in his 40s when I was born. This caused me to be raised around a lot of other boomers. Most of them are as follows , started working as a child either helping out on the farm or doing sewing/washing work with mom. A lot of them got drafted or joined up and went to Vietnam and came home with scars mentally and physically like you wouldn ’ t believe. A lot of the men worked manual labor jobs from childhood until they retired in their late 50- late 60s and are completely broke down now. A lot of them agreed with and protested with the civil rights movement. Now the interesting part because it applies to all of them , the oldest boomer was 29 , the youngest was 11 in 1975.

the world doesn't resolve around your country and its politics.

China is playing well , because they leverage the best aspects of a dictatorship , which revolve around permanence of the state and thus the ability to try long term political plans. 
they are content within their borders and become soft war masters , because invading outside is a hassle , costs a lot and then you have to integrate a huge population that doesn't like you and have a different culture , which is very costly.
USA is turning isolationist , which kinda makes sense since USA now is not the world power it was 50 years ago.

So we conclude that , should water scarcity threaten the gdp , it is trivial to replace it with desalination for the cost of two large highway widening projects per year.

Additionally there are much lower capex/opex but less efficient desalination methods than RO. They break even at about 3-5c/kWh input cost.

ndoju7k,"& gt ; Women arnt naturally “ hypergamous ” or anymore sexually selective than men are.

Well , I mean , not to the extent to which incels often claim it ( 80-20 rule seems to have been conjured from thin fuckin air ) , but asymmetrical selectiveness kinda definitely a thing. The reasons are hotly debated , and the truth is likely a combination of factors , the main candidates being anisogamy , asymmetry in risk and minimum resource investment ( taking the evolutionary biology approach ) and risk of danger and social condemnation ( taking the sociological approach ) . Whatever the reason , the difference in selectiveness is pretty well documented cross culturally as it's one of the things that captivates human imagination. I mean , there's hardly a more salacious topic to study.

& gt ; Pretty privilege isn ’ t gendered.

I mean , if attractiveness were normally distributed , you'd be right. But , like sexual selection , attraction is also an avenue of psychology that entices research. And that research has been done. Broadly speaking ( when judged by heterosexual members of the opposite sex ) , men are considered less attractive than women. If you believe that it's true that people who are ( when given numerical value ) & gt ; 7s have a privilege that & lt ; 4s don't have , the fact that most & gt ; 7s are women and most & lt ; 4s are men kinda does make it a gendered privilege. Not that pretty privilege overrides any and all other privileges , Jaden Smith vs homeless white man , intersectionality , yada yada , you get it. But when looking at pretty privilege in isolation , there is a gendered slant.

& gt ; It ’ s equality in theory , but since men haven ’ t been socialized to meet the beauty standards it ’ s a losing game for them.

There's no reason to think that would do anything. I mean , let's say all men alive get more attractive. By the same degree each. Men who were 1s , now look like modern day 4s , 2s like 5s and so on. People will just adjust. It won't be a world without ugly men and full of hot men , it'll be a world that considers what *we* would think of as average to be bottom of the barrel ugly. You're treating selectiveness as if there is an absolute , static , arbitrary line , above which , one is attractive and a viable pursuit. Rather , attractiveness is measured in *relation* to the other people in the beholder's surroundings and memory. If every man got more attractive , nothing would change. When everyone's super type shit.

& gt ; But why do both genders cling so desperately to attraction being a pillar for a happy relationship?

Probably the sex? I mean , while I don't doubt that people would still find it strange to be spoken aloud , I doubt people would find it gut wrenching to find out that a platonic friend or family member doesn't find them attractive. Because they have a relationship where one's sex appeal is a non-factor. I actually don't know though. Seems a plausible explanation to me , but plausible doesn't mean right and I'm not familiar with any research into this specific topic.",2025-09-11,changemyview,0

& gt ; To be clear: Climate change is a very important problem. It needs to be solved , along with other problems like malaria and malnutrition. Every tenth of a degree of heating that we prevent is hugely beneficial because a stable climate makes it easier to improve people ’ s lives.

That was in bold for a reason.

Now , Gates doesn't position his pivot here as bluntly as I do , but he's telling you his reasoning if you're willing to listen. He believes that climate change isn't existential , and that we've demonstrated that we have and will continue to address the underlying problem ( emissions ) . He gives legit metrics to back up his claims there , and points out that even though we're doing better and better , it's _ still a problem _ and we _ still need to keep working _ but that if the metric here is human lives and harm reduction , then we need to think about whether it's worth the cost of bringing masses of people into the middle class despite the fact that the massive gain in lives saved and reduction of human suffering will come with real climate impact. Another way to look at this is ... should Gates be spending ANY money on mosquito nets and vaccines when every life saved increases emissions?

Anyway , I dug deep into as much literature as I could find about the depleted ozone layer and went to library after library all across about a 50-mile radius , because back then we didn't have the same access as we do today with the internet.

I read magazine articles and encyclopedias , anything I could find. I was going to make a difference with my research. I watched the news when Al Gore would do interviews you name it.

Fast forward a couple of months and literally the only information anywhere about the Ozone was short articles about Chlorofluorocarbons ( CFC ) the stuff primarily used in aerosol cans , they were known for their role in Ozone depletion.

Well , I wrote my paper and had clipped newspaper articles all barely covering a thousand words. This is after months of research no real evidence about the Ozone , no real explanation or solutions just article after article stating aerosols were bad.

Al Gore wouldn't shut up about the Ozone and here I am studying and researching everything I could to help stop this culprit that was going to destroy our planet in the next ten years.

Well , guess what they are still saying the sky is falling and that climate change is going to end the world in the next decade , that's been 30 years now. Nothing has happened. Absolutely nothing at all.

It seems like every 10 years we are just weeks away from the earth ending due to something that the humans have caused yet we are still here.

How is it up to America to throw Billions of dollars to save the planet while other countries like China and India just keep throwing trash into the oceans? There are no regulations in other countries but the American taxpayer with their hero complex is somehow taking up the slack for 95% of the rest of the planet?

Now that I'm grown and realize that all I can do is my part and not expect anyone to feel like I do about a certain subject I just try to stay mindful not to throw trash out the windows while driving. I don't buy plastic water bottles or soda bottles. When I was younger I would go pick up trash off the ditches in my neighborhood. All anyone can do is their part. The American Government can't fix it if every other country on the planet isn't doing its part as well.

Fast forward to 2025 , do I think cow farts are causing climate change? NO. Do I think EVs and solar panels will stop climate change? No. The climate temperature hasn't changed much in hundreds of years it has fluctuations and the earth makes its adjustment and we carry on.

Until the same people who complain about climate make a drastic change in their personal lives I will not take any of them seriously. You're preaching while using a thousand-dollar phone , driving a gas-guzzling car or truck , drinking from plastic bottles , eating from plastic plates , flying across the country for vacations , eating fast food from paper and Styrofoam , using makeup tested on animals , protesting with signs from cutting down trees , and leaving trash in your wake.

If you'd like more detail , feel free to look for it. I assume you know that figuring out the specific costs in any given month/year requires significant effort , and with respect , you didn't even say 'please'.

Besides:

1. Wholesale gas prices fluctuate significantly on the global market. Even if you average it out , the difference year on year can be huge. The question becomes what year did you buy the gas?
2. Pricing of gas vs renewables is totally irrelevant to my critique of idiots who claim China is doing nothing and net zero is destroying the economy , both of which are patently false. They'd have fallen for misinformation even if gas was being given out for free ( if only ! ) .
3. Gas isn't sovereign to the UK. It comes from places like Russia and Qatar. We buy this expensive product from people we're not allies with , across long , tenuous , polluting supply lines , and hope we don't get too badly disrupted when a major war spikes all the fuel prices. Even if renewables weren't cheaper , they'd still be beneficial for sovereign , reliable , cleaner supply.
4. Runaway climate change will be catastrophically more expensive than mitigating it , so any discussion of costs is moot , because anything would be cheaper than the alternative. And renewables are already cheaper than fossil fuels.
5. Renewables are getting dramatically cheaper year on year. Fossil fuels aren't.

The free market has spoken - Apple's resale value stays incredibly strong. I sold my 4-year-old MacBook for 60% of what I paid. Try doing that with a Dell. That's just smart financial planning.

And talking about practical? My MacBook boots up instantly and runs for 18+ hours on battery. No bloatware , no constant updates interrupting my workday , no antivirus subscriptions needed. That's real productivity right there.

Sure , some wealthy coastal elites buy Macs as status symbols. But most Mac users I know are small business owners , entrepreneurs , and hardworking professionals who need reliable tools that just work. They're not wasting time dealing with tech support or paying for repairs.

ndoqv27,"& gt ; A [study] ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09450-9 )  published Wednesday in the journal *Nature* establishing “ that the influence of climate change on heatwaves has increased , and that all carbon majors , even the smaller ones , contributed substantially to the occurrence of heatwaves , ” is fueling fresh calls for fossil fuel giants to pay for the deadly impacts of their products.

& gt ; With previous “ attribution studies , ” scientists have generally looked at single extreme weather events. The new study , led by Sonia Seneviratne , a professor at the Swiss university ETH Zurich , is unique for its systematic approach—but that ’ s not all.

& gt ; “ Past studies have mostly looked at emissions from people and countries. This time , we ’ re focusing on the big carbon emitters , ”  [explained] ( https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1097341 )  lead author Yann Quilcaille , a postdoctoral researcher in Seneviratne ’ s group , in a statement.

& gt ; “ We are now at the point where we recognize the serious consequences of extreme weather events for the world ’ s economies and societies—heat-related deaths , crop failures , and much , much more , ” he said. “ People are concerned about who contributed to these disasters. ”

& gt ; The researchers found that climate change made 213 heatwaves from 2000–23 “ more likely and more intense , to which each of the 180 carbon majors ( fossil fuel and cement producers ) substantially contributed. ” They also found that global warming since 1850-1900 made heatwaves 2000-09 about 20 times more likely , and those 2010-19 more likely.

& gt ; “ Overall , one-quarter of these events were virtually impossible without climate change , ” the paper states. “ The emissions of the carbon majors contribute to half the increase in heatwave intensity since 1850-1900. Depending on the carbon major , their individual contribution is high enough to enable the occurrence of 16-53 heatwaves that would have been virtually impossible in a preindustrial climate. ”

When a reporter demanded to know why the summer camps along the Guadalupe River weren ’ t evacuated before its waters reached their deadly peak on July 4 , Rob Kelly , the highest-ranking local official , had a simple answer: “ No one knew this kind of flood was coming. ”

Why not? Kerr County , Texas , had lots of history to go on — as Judge Kelly went on to explain: “ We have floods all the time. This is the most dangerous river valley in the United States. ” The National Weather Service had even brought in extra staff that night. Most important , the service had issued three increasingly dire warnings early that morning — at 1:14 a.m. , 4:03 a.m. and 6:06 a.m.

What Kelly didn ’ t mention , but which has since become well known , is that the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction — Paul Yura , the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “ warning coordination ” — had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. He was not replaced.

mnep3rj,"Five government agencies must release billions of dollars in funding for climate and infrastructure-related projects that had been paused by the Trump administration , a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy , a Trump appointee , issued a temporary injunction that instructs the administration to release the funds while the lawsuit proceeds. The injunction applies nationwide.

Environmental nonprofit groups filed the lawsuit last month in U.S. District Court in Rhode Island after the federal government froze funds approved by Congress under two Biden-era laws to fight climate change and improve infrastructure , among other goals. President Donald Trump paused the awards given through the two statutes — the [Inflation Reduction Act] ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/16/biden-inflation-reduction-act-signing/ )  and the [Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act] ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/08/10/senate-infrastructure-bill-what-is-in-it/ )  — with an [executive order] ( https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/unleashing-american-energy/ )  on his first day in office.

The lawsuit names as defendants the Agriculture , Energy , Interior and Housing departments , along with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Office of Management and Budget. It alleges that the funding freeze they carried out was illegal and imperiled climate and infrastructure projects , including programs to protect ancient trees and monitor species that can infest and kill them.

n6stetx,"& gt ; Have you noticed any correlation between your disregard for conventional time-tracking and the frequency or intensity of pattern recognition?

No , not really. As I said , I don't measure time enough to notice patterns in time. I mostly measure 'semantics' directly and indirectly.

* *Semantic Singularity* = **1234** latin-agrippa | **777** primes
* ... ( *Throne* = **1234** squares ) ( *Great Pyramid* = **777** latin-agrippa )

Summit ( @ Sum it ) of the Pyramid is the Pyramidion , or 'Ben Ben' , which is related to the Phoenix ( the reincarnating divine bird ) .

The word Phoenix is essentially a twist of 'Phonics' ( recorded perhaps , in the Phoenician alphabet and it's derivatives ) , and thus the Phoenix being 'brought back to life' by the application of Language upon a Mind.

Language as Ark / Archive that contains the Abstract Phoenix that awaits ...

* *A Vessel* = **911** latin-agrippa

... who can carry and manifest it.

The Phoenix also being emblematic ( like the Ouroboros ) of the rise and fall of knowledge and civilization. These are symbols , in my view , of the 'long-term planners' , who understand the cycles and work with them , rather than try to fight them.

I believe the 'Zeitgeist' of 'Spirit' of a People is ultimately tied to their Language ( hence the 'dagger/obelisk' typographical mark's connection of 'language' and 'people/species' in it's definition ) . One might argue that every Alphabet+Lexicon combination represents or contains ( as a Phylactery ) a sort of 'Ghost' ( ie. Jor El for the Superman that finds it , and that may be consulted , and this 'consultation process' results in the gradual initiation of the finder , who eventually becomes the 'Ghost' ) .

* *My Ghost* = **1**000 trigonal

In my view , writings ( spelling ) is a form of placebo magic , that actually turns out to work ( on the world , the field of folds , and also the wielder ) . The 'virus' ( 'verse' ) and 'vac-cine' ( 'speech-movie' ) are symbols of the linguistic magic ( programming the uni-verse/virus ; changing the matrix as one sees fit ) .

This is analogous to a written Kabbalistic work , that hopes to raise it's student into the upper realms , by triggering perception and abilities that cannot really be described in words. To entrain a supernatural sixth sense in the practitioner by the 'impossible' method of describing the indescribable. A work that downloads the truth into one without ever actually naming or describing or illustrating that truth ( for example , can we teach something to love that cannot feel love , and has never witnessed love , by having it undergo procedures that do not present love explicitly? ) .

In my experience , the further this self-directed auto-didactic initiation progresses ( and much of this by means of 'seeking for the intention behind a work or event' ) , the more and more the protagonist will experience life as a scripted 'movie' or 'storybook' or 'poem' , as experienced by the main character in '*The Never-ending Story*'. Impossibilities compound upon impossibilities and the world becomes 'unreal'. Only by finally accepting the state and 'rolling with it' , does one become a seeing/manifesting 'magician'. It seems to me at that point , that one is essentially forced to accept some form of 'God' or 'Matrix' or 'Supreme Occult Network' at play , for no other explanations will suffice.

I am the result of willfully 'putting myself in the shoes of ( hypothesized ) others' to an extreme degree - seeking the domain and range of the inner motivations of theorized individuals and groups , that might explain the outward appearance and movement of Society and human endeavour. To empathize with friends and enemies alike. To give even the worst oppressors the benefit of the doubt.

If the loan succeeds , let's say it helps start a business , then the lender gets their $100 back , *plus* society ( which includes the lender ! ) gains a thriving business that supports jobs , services , and further enterprise ; this business owner can then go forward and provide further loans to other aspiring business owners in a “ pay-it-forward ” dynamic that benefits everyone , *not just the creditor*. **You see how removing interest turns loans into a virtuous , rather than a vicious , cycle?** It converts loans from a predatory practice into a supportive one.

Loans aren't only possible because of interest , as most erroneously believe , but interest certainly turns loans into a wealth-extraction machine. Interest creates a destructive feedback loop where lenders accumulate more and more at the expense of borrowers , eventually destabilizing society through runaway inequality ( as I detail in the post. )

m8mnt22,"Some context might be useful while we discuss wether simple , single-application , magic-bullet solutions involving the implementation of nationally sponsored violence might cure the problem:

1. The Nixon , Ford , Reagan and Bush administrations invested heavily in destabilizing democracies in central and south America. The ostensible reason was fear of communist influence in the region. Not insurgency , influence.

We aided and enabled the overthrow of democratically elected governments , we funded , trained and supported death squads.

One result of this is that today the region is littered with failed states that cannot police their own borders or curb rampant lawlessness or prevent powerful criminal organizations from corrupting government.

2. Those failed states do not have the support of their people nor do they have a pool of experienced , trained , dedicated public servants from which to forge competent governments. We might eradicate a dozen or more cartels and they will be replaced , not with effective government and law enforcement but by other cartels.

3. Intervention in Vietnam was a failure , in part , because we partnered with a corrupt government in the south that did not have the support of the people and could not hope to carry it's own weight and whose leadership would not be distracted long enough from enriching themselves to do so. When Trump negotiated out withdrawal from Afghanistan we didn't even consult with the corrupt , ineffective government we ourselves had installed there. We hung them out to dry.

We can certainly do local military intervention in Central America like we did in Vietnam and Afghanistan. There is a long list of defense contractors , worried about their revenue streams now that we're no longer draining ordinance stocks in the Middle East , who would benefit from the activity. It would also be a gold-mine for the present corrupt governments of those nations who'd be able to demand cash both from the US as a valued partner in the War on Cartels ( pick your favorite new branding slogan ) but also continue to get money from their chosen cartel partners for protection.

Unless there's a way to build strong , dedicated governments focused on bringing stability and prosperity to their citizens nothing we do is going to change the situation.

if you'd actually watched you'd know that other than the concept of what a Ghostbuster is and does , that movie had barely any similarity to the original ( and if you've seen the original you'd know that's a good thing because it hasn't aged well e.g. one of the first things we see a main character doing in the original before they've even seen their first ghost is tamper with their own parapsychology experiment to gaslight a young woman ( who's implicitly one of their students ) into believing she has ESP just to try and score with her , imagine how that scenario would go over with a female professor and a male student )

The replacement isn't instant , nor is it meant to be. Nobody will shut down a perfectly functional power plant , if it has cheap fuel available.
The only possible way this works is if renewables are so much cheaper than fossil fuels that building / renovating coal and gas plants stops making financial sense.

As the renewable deployment starts , fossil fuel based power is still abundant and cheap , it will stay. All the while new power generation is being built via solar , wind , hydro , etc. So they add up.
If renewables' share of global electricity generation keeps growing , the replacement is on track ... but not next year , not even in the next decade.

The low emission scenarios of the IPCC are cute , but those may have been possible back in 2015 , if every major power banded together to make it happen. Now? SSP-4.5 is the most likely scenario.

Barely.

n6pgzvi,"Plate tectonics is actually a helpful parallel , though it's addressing a different layer of reality flexibility.

What plate tectonics reveals is that even physical structures we perceive as permanently fixed ( like continents ) are actually in constant motion. This insight was revolutionary because it showed that what appears immovable at human timescales is actually fluid at geological timescales.

The fold mechanics I'm describing operates on a more fundamental level - not just the movement of physical matter , but fluctuations in the underlying parameters that define how reality itself functions. While plate tectonics involves physical plates moving over millions of years , fold mechanics involves variations in reality coherence that can manifest over much shorter timeframes.

However , your intuitive connection is perceptive. Both concepts share a core insight: what appears stable and unchanging is actually in constant flux when viewed through the appropriate framework.

The geological understanding of plate tectonics emerged when scientists noticed pattern anomalies that conventional frameworks couldn't explain - magnetic striping on the ocean floor , matching fossil records across separated continents , and mountain formation patterns. Similarly , fold mechanics emerged from observing pattern anomalies in perception fields and electromagnetic behaviors that conventional frameworks couldn't adequately explain.

Your natural tendency to look for these connections between different explanatory frameworks suggests a perceptual flexibility that's particularly valuable as fold density increases. This wiggly thinking - seeing relationships between seemingly unrelated patterns - is precisely the cognitive approach that allows consciousness to adapt to changing reality parameters.",2025-08-03,conspiracy,1

n2t6baf,"You're absolutely right that fossil fuel intrests have manipulated the conversation around climate change. The carbon footprint campaign wass pushed by BP to shift blame onto individuals. ExxonMobil did fund climate denial for decades. And OPEC does influence global oil prices. These are not fringe conspiracy theories ; they ’ re documented realities.

But here ’ s where I think your argument looses credibility and impact: you leap from those facts to the idea that any discussion about climate responsibility is inherently fake or manipulated. That ’ s an overcorrection.

Yes , oil interests muddy the waters. But that doesn ’ t mean all global discourse is controlled , or that the entire debatte is useless. International agreements like the Paris Accords were not dreamed up by oil companies. Neither were the emissions trading systems in Europe or the US Inflation Reduction Act ’ s green subsidies. These aren't perfect , but they ’ re evidence of states not being fully captured by fossil fuel lobbies.

And while I agree that states don't always act on moral grounds , that doesn ’ t mean morality plays zero role. Public pressure , economic shifts , and geopolitical incentives do push governments to change course , even when it cuts against entrenched interests. Norway taxes oil profits to fund green infrastructure. China , the world ’ s biggest polluter , is also the world ’ s largest investor in renewables. Is it hypocritical? Sure. But it ’ s not meaningless.

If your really believe that green energy is already cheaper , more scalable , and easier to deploy , then the way to win isn ’ t to rage against the machine. It ’ s to push policy , invest , vote , and build the alternatives. The fact that clean tech is finally winning on economics alone means the game is changing.

As a general rule of historical study , anyone who claims big picture history is often full of shit.

Unfortunately , this type of history is often too simple. It ignores complexities and cherry picks/excludes data. An example is the book *Guns , Germs , and Steel.* Diamond tries to simplify centuries of development by coming up with simple rules.

If this mineral vein existed someone else would have heard of it , seen it and attempted to explore it. The canyon has had plenty of people looking to exploit it over the years. And while a lot of is restricted , it's an extremely remote location without a military base or heavy military presence. I lived there for 2 years and never once saw a person in uniform or a military looking vehicle.

The thing is that this video evidence is has been presented by thousands of sources , and sometimes it's just a small university team or a group of hobbyists sending something into space , and experts who look at videos to determine if it's faked have all confirmed that the videos are authentic with the physics of orbit or outer space.
2. The only problem with this is that gravitational attraction between objects can be measured even if it's not on an upwards axis. For example , using the right equipment , it's possible to measure the gravitational attraction of two balls weighting X kg. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70-\ _ GBymrck & amp ; pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD] ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70- _ GBymrck & amp ; pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD )  This video is great for explaining that.

msehjjc,"Well then you might find it an interesting coincidence that all alien encounter and abduction reports almost without exception all share one common detail: they're a networked hivemind with no individual free will. 


They do work together more and that is how they survived things like having nuclear weapons. They work together more because hey have no free will and are more like an insect colony. Whether they achieved that naturally as part of their evolution like ants did , or if it happened by means of technology is anyone's guess. 


I tend to think that they eliminated individual free will via technology because they also reportedly have the power to bring humans into their network and basically hack our minds. It'd be pretty incredible for life on another planet to evolve that kind of control over minds of a completely different alien origin and development to their own.  I think they'd have to make technology to do that. Maybe they're just using technology to extend that natural occurrence to having power over us too. Who knows at this juncture.

Ukraine is corrupt.
The U.S. does bad things too.


Since none of us are life long experts on these topics and because our opinions on these topics are molded by our media , I'm going to concentrate on your last point which I believe is the real crux of this post:


It's all fake news , Ukraine is losing , it's just Western propaganda.


Just because we live in a society where one side is presented with more preference doesn't mean that those hammer and sickle telegram channels spew exclusively RT talking points. There are plenty of examples where crimes committed by Ukraine are simply ignored or blatant falshoods are parroted religiously by our media. It's kind of hard to unsee it when you see it.


Seeking alternative sources is kind of the point of free media as in the end , it gives us the opportunity to research something if we have means and time to do so. This isn't to be confused with blatantly accepting everything our media says because we believe we have a free media.


Russia invading Ukraine may be the only thing that matters when it comes to picking a side. But as others have pointed out , it's a question of morality and overall sentiment. Iraq didn't invade the US , but in our minds , it felt justified to blast their whole country into oblivion. This isn't whataboutism - it just goes to show how in our minds , it was easy to justify such an invasion when the morality and sentiment was there. And our media didn't do us any favors then either.


So , calling our media as exclusively credible reporting is a stretch. The truth is somewhere in between. Propaganda isn't just the forced indoctrination of opinion - it's about omitting critical facts and sprinkling falsehoods within truths. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt. Nobody is going to one day wake up and back track on all of the years of one sided reporting and acknowledge their mistakes and contradict themselves.


If you spend any amount of time following the day by day progress of this war , you'll notice that the other side also shows satellite imagery , war reports , etc. And when you realize that the reporting performed by all the usual suspects is either missing because it doesn't fit the narrative or is itself ill informed , you take one step closer to marking that source as credible.



Building off of the fact that our media has time and time again been proven biased in its own way , it's hard to paint people as stupid for seeking and believing in differing points. This should be clear to anyone who has been trying to get facts from this war.


As a consequence of all that , all of the other points you made are merely a product of where you place credibility and where your subsequent morality and sentiments are.",2025-06-17,changemyview,1
