I agree climate has always changed. Dinosaurs had forest fires. Dinosaurs had geologic changes. Dinosaurs cut down whole forests to make space for agriculture. Dinosaurs pumped huge quantities of petrochemicals out of the Earth and burnt them. Dinosaurs mined mountains of coal and burnt it. Nothing...

I have the unpopular opinion that you should not start a new Operating System. Look how long it took for Linux to even get the 3 or 4% share it has of the desktop market today: 30+ years. Do you think your project has 30+ years of momentum available to it? If not, maybe make a smaller contribution ...

Well, in a thousand years check-in here again and we can compare notes. In the Younger Dryas, the temperature changes of something like 10 F are thought to have happened in a decade or so. The real danger to us will be when the Holocene ends and we begin the next hundred thousand years of glaciatio...

The expectation is that this time climate change will be unusually rapid and many species and habitats will not be able to change quickly enough.


Even worse than the start and the end of the Younger Dryas?

Why are they attacking TV broadcast studios then? That's something that really only makes sense if you're trying to have a change of regime. The people can still get their news online, taking out the studios is a war crime and serves no purpose if you're not trying to have a change of regime. Then ...

We should always assume that the Orange Taco is only acting for his own aggrandizement. Yeah... I guess I didnt need a card reading to tell me that. :P What always shocks me is the way his supporters consider his unpredictability to be some kind of virtue. I think that what it really means is that ...

they're the people putting their lives on the line to address an existential threat being imposed upon their people. Shouldn't that read they're the people putting their lives on the line to address an existential threat being imposed upon their people by raping, torturing, and murdering women and ...

Meanwhile you don't say anything about Israel raping, torturing and murdering Palestinians since the 40s, which kinda deflates your claim that you'd say something about Israel raping, torturing and murdering Palestinians. I don't know what they call that where you're from, but where I'm from that's...

It is not at all comparable. America did not attack Israel. On the other hand, Israel and the Arabs there have been attacking each other for a long time. Sounds like you're offering excuses for ethnic cleansing, as though it's acceptable when certain people do it against other certain people. If yo...

I don't see it as a good guys vs bad guys thing. It seems to be more of a bad guys vs bad guys. Because of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, I have had a rather low opinion of Israel. That said, I have a far lower opinion of Hamas and consider them to be far scummier than Israel. So, when...
