What is even more disheartening is the first comment:

>Got to say a few things:
>1. Its hard to tell the truth from the utter garbage in these claims. Literally, what are you expecting from certain people and from a website, which, as far as i can tell, is not even based in Australia (co.uk?). This information is just relayed and extremely exaggerated. Not only that, but it has bias in the way it only says things related to the supposed death of the reef, and no opposing cases.
>2. In the earths history, stuff has been happening for ages. This is one reef, sure its important, but keep in mind its just one reef. This is like nothing compared to mass extinction events like the one before the Cambrian explosion where pretty much everything died. We get our ice ages etc, and all the animals that couldnt change for the climate became extinct. Adapt or die, its always been a rule in nature, quite savage but in all cases true. If these reefs cant make it, either we play god and help out their genetics, or allow them to die off.
>3. The masses uninformed to the above preach articles like this. And dont even get me started on the fact that there must be some companies only worried for this because of the reefs touristic values. I may have said all the things above, but honestly as uninformed as i am about this, I can only lap up this prepared information. I feel the reef is extremely important as well, but here i am writing this behind a computer screen, and what can I even do? Nothing at all.. so let me just take this nihilistic viewpoint on life.

>Just wanted to add, nobody is ever going for the root of the problem. Clearly its a variety of factors, but i feel the need to point out the idiotic mining factories only out for money and the likes of them who want to dredge the reef. Just stupid.

>>8415223
I actually wouldn't be surprised if I had a limited form of DID. I've had a number of experiences where I believed I experienced something, in full, contiguously, and then very shortly after realized I actually didn't. Like I watched the debate the other day, wasn't multi-tasking or anything. Someone else in the house was also watching it, but was further back than me (hence it was staggered). Whenever I passed through and listened, I was hearing completely novel things. It was like a different debate. Not a variance in a general recollection of wording, I don't remember those chunks at all.

Coupled with rapid mental state changes and other stuff over the years, I have to wonder. I often feel like an amnesiac that's stuck in a limited, but ever shifting frame, and that I only think I know who I am, where I am, what I'm doing, or why. It reminds of the notion of a sleeper agent, which along with mental partitioning has always fascinated me. If you either remove memory, or create false memories, a person's entire notion of reality and contest is altered. They will not accurately understand the nature of their own actions.

Weird shit man. So yes, I could be psychotic. More likely though it seems a lapse in memory.

Life on earth has existed in many environmental configurations. The current configuration is exceptionally cold and an ice age.

Global Warming is not going to create a cataclysmic event that destroys all life on earth. The climate will simply change. Which is not actually all that bad for humans as "warmer" earth configurations are beneficial in many ways.

Climate change is much less damaging as compared to pollutants you are actually exposed to.

There is also the fact life on earth is exponentially improving in terms of knowledge and capabilities. Which means even the worst climate models are basically not going to impact human life in any meaningful way.

Of the actual threats to humanity it is pretty much the lowest and only begins to matter if humanity somehow stalls in all progress but the stall is not caused by catastrophic war (ww3)
>>
>>8415280
The key point is to imagine two different things.

The encroaching "threat" of climate change.

vs

The exponential improvements in many areas of technology. (solar, wind, computing, quantum computing, genetics, etc)

Given these two competing things and the fact that the most pessimistic predictions of a singularity put it before the oceans rise 2 inches.

we will essentially have fusion power, stable life on mars, immortality, arbitrary genetic engineering, and super intelligence AI, before the threat of global warming starts to bother us. At that point it becomes absolutely insignificant compared to the existential risks posed by those technologies and existing technologies like nuclear war.
>>
>>8415284
The problem is not that climate change and resource depletion will be an existential threat per se, the problem is that they will increase the risk of conflict and war.

there is no instability caused by regulations on coal you fucking moron. the very idea is fucking retarded.

the worst consequences of regulations on coal are some lost profits for mining and energy corporations. maybe there are some jobs lost in the coal industry but guess what, there are new jobs working with non polluting power and you wont be coughing up tar by the time youre 50 if you do them.

"Make more jobs!" is inherently moronic and borders on infantile. That's like saying make more small streams while ignoring that it all returns the ocean eventually anyway.

Let's do the comparison. The benefits of using fossil fuels vs the CURRENT global warming problems. Which would you prefer? It's an easy fucking answer. Your entire point is shit. Fossil fuels have greatly aided humanity and the current cost of global warming are minimal.

Using the "current" costs of global warming in your argument is just extremely stupid. You are basically a fucking idiot with a shit brain.
>>
>>8415567

The best question I can ask you to show your ignorance and shit brains is simple: List some geoengineering technologies that can reverse carbon concentrations or cool the earth. Now describe their costs and if or when you think they would ever be able to reverse climate change.

1. Climate won't change in the future
2. Technology will continue exponentially advancing

Under these criteria, we have absolutely nothing to worry about. Case closed obviously since I get to arbitrarily rule out random variables and their trajectories because I feel like it.
>>
>>8416481
There are solutions which have existed for decades to replace fossil fuels in all but a few cases such as street paving and pharmaceuticals. We simply refuse to use them because it won't keep the current wealthy elite wealthy.

For the price of the 2008 bailout we could have built solar updraft towers for the entire United States completely ending our reliance on foreign oil and we know they work. But no people just want to keep oil billionaires billionaires.

Let's not, because that's a stupid comparison.
To begin with, nobody is advocating simply dropping fossil fuels completely without replacing them with something roughly equivalent first. If you want an analogy - you're asking me to compare the health effects of living off McDonald's vs the benefits of having something to eat.

>>8416496
>List some geoengineering technologies that can reverse carbon concentrations or cool the earth. Now describe their costs and if or when you think they would ever be able to reverse climate change.
None of them "reverse climate change". They either offset emissions or mitigate the symptoms. Either way, until we actually stop raising atmospheric CO2 levels they can't be more than a stopgap.

>>8416530
>The problem with solar or renewable energy is that the price keeps dropping. So it's very reasonable to wait to begin spending on it.
I believe the price is dropping slower than the expected output of an installation. So no, buying panels today is generally justifiable. I could be wrong, though - I've not actually done the numbers.

Single species have fucked up the earth before. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's ducking okay. Sheets of alge across the ocean have caused several ice ages alone.

I used to think this as well, but no longer have such a rigid definition of awareness. If a large and complex species cannot collectively act on its knowledge, it is just as deficient as a clump of algae, and mechanically, the matter is just as simply described.

The plan was to bring the British to their knees and begin starving them into submission, without firing a single shot. Had they not had an intact mine to reverse engineer, it probably would have worked.

Having them out of the war would have rendered mopping up the French trivial. Eastern European countries would have still been difficult. The Russian fronts would have been different. The dynamic in the pacific fronts would have been different.

Agreed nuclear power should be in the list, but as far as I know there's no presidential candidate in America fighting for nuclear power unless Gary Johnson is. Nuclear was completely absent during the second debate even with an energy question asked.

I made a thread just for this topic

would it surprise you that retardation is common to both parties?

We're already seeing predictions from this video coming true. Trump wants to fortify the wall, Brexit happened, India built an electric fence to keep Bangladesh out when they're submerged underwater. World war III is imminent, this is happening within your life time.

/x/ is where you belong

You obviously don't understand science if you assign all events as a result of climate change
>>
>>8419654
Right, because saying it's not having any effect at all is so much more scientific. You chose to attack my post because it didn't align with your personal belief system. Where's the proof that it won't have any effect in our lifetime?
>>
>>8419659
Brexit happening is not good evidence of climate change.

>my idealized pretty and static nature is changing
Boo fucking hoo retard.

>>8419666
You're right, it's not evidence of climate change, there's plenty of that already. But it is a direct consequence of climate change https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ominous-story-of-syria-climate-refugees/

shhh

go back to /x/ or some retarded board for LOW IQ trash.

Hi /pol/, I see this is your first day on /sci/. I'm hoping this post is Poe's Law at work.

global warming bullshit isn't science

evolution has nothing to do with ANYTHING

The dems are the ones who always cut spending in non-welfare areas, and impose affirmative action to destroy it.
>>
>>8419735
Which part of global warming do you have issues with? I'm fairly knowledgeable in the field and can probably help you with anything you don't understand, you just need to ask the questions.

assumption of h2o multiplier effect
and treating the earths surface as a radiating black body when its cooled by convection
>>
>>8415280
for fuck's sake it's not warming up it's just that the climate gets more extreme. some parts it grows cold af and some others it gets unstandeably hot.
so we'll end up with floods, tornadoes, etc because of wind currents, damage to the soil and evaporation AND CO2-boosted sun will cause droughts and starvation.
cool job recking Terra you cunt
>>
>>8419752
There has been no evidence of anything like that
>>
>>841975
so let's just not believe it, right?
what about climate change? there has been proof to that, and to how it hurts the ecosystem badly

Proving H2O multiplies the effect.

Explaining Earth's radiating blackbody effect. You'll have to be more clear about how convection prevents blackbody radiation because that sounds completely made up. If you have a source for it I'd be happy to take a look at it.

Do you need more evidence or are you good?

Oh, and since climate change deniers usually tend to be American here's what you'll be expecting in the upcoming years.

If you're from somewhere else here's a list of countries the Met Office has done studies on.
