Must-read.
The GND proposal that is on the table doesn't scratch the surface of what needs to be done. Global resources must be reconfigured and deployed internationally to meet this emergent challenge. The scope and scale of a design solution is mind-boggling. Tweaking around the edges is simply a foolish delay.
The alternative is massive culling.

Hard to believe I'm reading unbalanced climate BS on this site.
ReplyDeleteI'll see you guys around.
Yo, Fintan - don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
ReplyDeleteFintan Dunne is a hardcore anti-science climate denier. There is a good thread here that puts her in her place.

Bonus material: Egmont and Roddis "debate".
Some people say that climate change is a scam to extract carbon taxes out of the masses. Therefore climate change doesn’t exist.
ReplyDeleteTheir logic goes like this…
[1] Carbon taxes based on climate change are a scam.
[2] Therefore climate change itself is a scam, and does not exist.
In the case of France, Macron’s gasoline tax was indeed a scam, because it had nothing to do with climate change. All the revenue would have gone to pay the bankers who lend to France. However this does not prove that climate change does not exist.
Most people are lazy and illogical. Some say that nature and man cause climate change together, and it’s not that bad. Some say that man has nothing to do with it. Some say that climate change does not exist at all.
Rather than logically reason their way through all this conflicting chatter, many people dismiss the whole thing as b.s., and smugly congratulate themselves on their “brilliance.”
As for Roddis and Egmont "debating," that's like two drunken schizophrenics incoherently babbling at each other with a soundproof wall between them.
Fiat money creation funds and induces urban and suburban sprawl along with massive and unsustainable overbuilding. Socialist countries like the USSR and China naturally resulted in Ecocide.
