  • I think the expectation is not that it's a 1:1 exchange but that the train moves a lot more cattle feed, resulting in deforestation of a larger area when what needs to happen is a restoration of areas currently under cultivation to rain forest

  • There are deposits of coal, oil, and gas still in the ground. There are forests yet standing. So long as those are true, it's possible to decide to leave them there.

    That's all it takes to stop temperatures from going up more.

    It's very much physically possible; doing so is purely a matter of making sure those in power decide to.

  • The world as whole is moving to avoid the need for fossil fuels. The North Sea is largely depleted. The choice is whether to become an impoverished and polluted backwater which depends on importing fuel over readily disrupted supply lines or to shift towards the industries of the future.

  • The Trump administration on Thursday plans to announce it will delay a planned phasedown of refrigerants, the potent greenhouse gases known as hydrofluorocarbons or HFCs

    Jump

  • This set of gases was developed because they don't deplete the ozone so much, but they're incredibly potent greenhouse gases, which is why there's an effort to end their use.

  • There are very different forms and levels of that. If people are doing shibboleths and understand it as such, that's harmless. Same goes for sticking together in a world that's hostile because of their ancestry.

  • Average religious individual doesn't either. The kind of thing you're doing would happen to a much smaller extent without some of the religious groups involved.

  • It's part of it. Religious groups do a bunch of community building that just doesn't happen so easily outside of them. A lot of people are involved for that, rather than an epistemic view.

  • It's not so much about being faith-based as having a dark ages approach to epistemology, where "truth" is a social construct rather than something which is an inherently property of the universe, and where the strength of evidence is how you figure out what it is

  • Renewable energy has helped make the worst-case scenario a bit less bad. The president said, falsely, it shows that climate scientists were wrong all along.

    Jump

  • So the first set of them were greenhouse gas concentration pathways, so modeling included feedbacks like ice-albedo, but not ones which resulted in additional fossil fuel use.

    Current approaches are shared socioeconomic pathways rather than representative concentration pathways.

    Still not perfect because people won't actually follow any such path exactly; it's a lot harder to predict human behavior than physics
