No he's saying he doesn't believe I could have talked about nuclear power at school when I was 13. That I just made that up for whatever reason.


Oh I see

While I have total support for combatting climate change, I often wonder if it's technologically possible to reverse it, through grand engineering feats.

There's a few steps in the right direction
1. Closing down or phasing out carbon polluting technology
2. increasing carbon nuetral technologies
3. controlling existing emissions
4, sequestering existing carbon
5. reduce deforestation and water pollution

1028 days?

How about...

We have less than 40 years before mankind's predicted extinction. Society is predicted to collapse several years before that time.

Start reversing your greed, hate, and ignorance.

I doubt Macron had anything emissions-cutting-related in mind when announcing a thin year. Fossil fuel prices in Europe soared for quite an unrelated reason.

This I totally agree with.

Less doom prophecies and more informed, realistic decisions would benefit us all.

I actually think what the message means is we have 1028 days before the changes to the earth's climate is irreversible, After that point of no return whatever we do is not going to make a difference. Given the current apathy toward carbon I doubt we will make it.

After that point is reached we might have a few decades or a century before complete collapse. Extinction? depends how quickly we can develop permanent self-contained space bases or underground cities.

BF storm headed for Alaska. Winds and waves will push water levels up to 18 feet above normal high tides. Article says 10 years from now this September storm will be a benchmark to measure others by:

There's a train of thought that we can't stop carbon emission anyway due (at least not now) because we don't have the technology or the capability to cope with impact of sudden change and its impact, In any case there is no will in much of the population even with the climate science. Climate denial feeds into wishful thinking + those who profit from coal/petroleum based energy.
