they managed to keep the domain in the end

Thank you.

Thanks - I actually had the setting turned on already but triggering it off and back on again caused it to start working properly, for whatever reason. Indeed that is a helpful indicator:-).

This account (that you responded to) was created a mere few hours ago. It might even have been created purely to troll people, possibly by someone who has gotten used to being banned using a recognizable account name.

On PieFed I find it very helpful to see an icon next to people’s names indicating brand-new accounts. Some Lemmy apps can do that as well (I switched over to Voyager here to see if it would, but nope, at least not by default). Anyway I wanted to point out that it is a very useful feature, for exactly such scenarios as this!

They are also “patriots” and “Christians” (love they neighbor - who is that? everyone. what does it look like? not… like… that) and “smurt” and “efficient” and so on.

The nice thing is that if we could work on either, then we could work on both at the same time. Caveat: we cannot work on either, for the most part, bc people are selfish and short-sighted:-(.

There’s an interesting graph that someone posted in https://aussie.zone/comment/14827931, but I am no expert so I have no idea personally, just sharing that, which seems to suggest that the highest areas are residential energy and road transportation. Whether that in turn traces to Methane I have no idea:-).

So it sounds like the first step is to care.

As the OOP said too.

Damnit, you just made me realize that my true goal in life was to wear a stillsuit (or maybe it was to be closer to Timothée Chalamet?😊)

True, but also don’t allow perfection to be the enemy of good.

I recall in Star Wars when the Jedi accused the Trade Federation of having invaded Naboo. Did it really? This needs to be verified, doesn’t it? Oh but wait, it’s the word of “Jedi”, right, not just “some guys”? Yeah but can we really play at favoritism? Wait, how is that favoritism when they have an established mandate to help protect the Republic… and on and on.

Ironically, they could have sent an entire fleet, and if it turned out to be a simple misunderstanding, then oops, so well, now we know not to trust even “Jedi” in the future.

People are really bad at measuring the cost of NOT acting. Like yeah, vaccines can cause all kinds of things up to and including death… but then again, so too can a deadly disease?!

Anyway, the job of science is to figure stuff out and communicate what was found - not even - necessarily, at least usually - including translation to the general public, which is more of a reporting task. Politics doesn’t even begin to enter into that. So I think it’s awesome that this science post is pointing out some facts that may be relevant as people discuss the political ramifications and next steps. Ofc communication is a 2-way endeavor and if politicians don’t understand what the scientist is saying, they can ask questions, but so far the OOP scientist here seems to have done her part, and quite well it looks to me (who admittedly knows next to nothing whatsoever about climate science, but at least this seems to have succeeded at the communicate clearly portion:-).

If a biodome might be needed for like 6-12 hours in the hottest part of the day for the sake of survivability and efficiency in heating, compared to being needed 20-24 hours a day, then I could begin to see the value of OOP’s words. Better yet, if some other technology could bring that timeframe down to a mere 3-6 hours (I’m imagining maybe like a yearly average, so longer some days and shorter on others), and then some other technology still further down to 1-3 hours, then collectively rather than one single approach could help to reduce rather than eliminate the need for such.

Perhaps we’ll live like in the Dune movie, with everyone wearing a personal stillsuit (aka the “biodome” is personal)… such that a fart primarily affects the one doing it, which at that long starts to actually convince someone to change their diet? 😉

“Ruin” itself is a word with nuances.

Would that even matter? As in e.g. the timing and speed - like those still alive would keep going for quite awhile, perhaps all the more so given increasing technology, especially if the effects of aging were to be if not eliminated entirely then pushed back even a little bit more, or cancer, etc.

Then maybe don’t leave it up to them. This OOP refers to a goal, not a process.

Some might say also… The Internet?

Wait a minute… TIL that Lemmy existed in the late 1970’s!? 🤪🤡🤥🫠

Really? I knew it had gotten bad over there since the Rexodus but wow, it sounds rough. I’m so glad we are over here in The Good Place instead. Wait a minute…!? 🤡

Billion, with a “B”.

And no. We could also discover how to travel into alternate realities instead, or perhaps wake up from The Matrix? :-P

There are also a variety to ways to live differently, like a biodome even if partial. Many solutions working together rather than one singular one “saving” the day.

And this is Uplifting News - which is what it’s all about!:-)

That’s the ticket! It’s always great when a random idiot stranger on the internet agrees with you… (no, really:-P).

O…k…a…y… lemme just get right onto that now… You know what, I think I’ll take a nap, and perhaps get back to it tomorrow? 👨‍🔬☢️💥

A fair concern. It’s no peer reviewed research article that’s for sure, but it was somewhat news to me and may be to others who likewise did not know and/or needed to hear it.

“News” here meaning from an authoritative source (though I did not confirm that this person even so much as exists, much less is actually a climate scientist) and bringing information that is not trivially already known to the audience.

A lot of the “news” focuses on the tipping point (to be able to reverse the effects of climate change), thus leaving a gap between that vs. what we are now desiring more to know: just how fucked are we all?

But if it needs to be removed, that’s okay with me - I don’t want to mess up the community’s implementation of the rules.

I feel qualified neither to agree nor disagree, since I am not a climate scientist.
