and how does that support the argument that human activity is not a contributing factor?

That's the best you could come up with?
There's 95 references.
Let's start with the original with my awesome paint skills. The red line represents accuracy, since, you know, we weren't accurately measuring temps, the mercury thermometer wasn't even invented until 18th century or so, and even then wasn't well known until the 19th.
Here's the margin of error since 1998 when this was introduced:

So, going back tot he "supercomputers figured it out", well that same data was presented to the Pc in a different way, and guess what? The outcome was drastically different! Go figure.
I implore you to read it. It's going to strengthen and weaken my observations, as well the opposite.

The unimodal nature of EOF1 implies an association with changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) radiative forcing and ice sheet albedo.

Don't let the "reserchgate" fool you in the we address. It was the only place that displayed the full paper on a link, and not a .pdf. It is published, probably didn't make it to many science outlets just yet, but is peer reviewed and considered valid.

Here's a quick human to geological scale.
The last time a guillotine was used on a human, Star Wars was already in the movie theaters. I saw Poltergeist and ET in the theater and drive ins but barely remember Empire. We went to the theater to see it, but I had no idea what was going on, I was 4. I remember clearly the scene when Lukes arm was lopped off. Still had no idea what was really happening. We also saw Jedi, with the coax "you remember the other one, right?" We saw Chitwood Brothers at the county fair.
This thread is already approaching a decade.
Less than 30 years ago, we thought humanity didn't farm, or congregate until Sumerian. Then we discovered Gobekli Tepe. That was the year I graduated high school. Everything I learnt for the last 12 years was 100% wrong. Imagine that. In 1.2 decades every history book that I read and was forced to remember was proved complete wrong. History books that were already "accepted by peers".
If everything is so absolute, who can explain the Antikythera Mechanism being discovered 100yr ago, from a wreck dated 100bc?
These are not whimsical observations.
How's the big bang theory going? Seems the more we think we know, the more we don't really know.
So, throw a bunch of feelings, and teachings in the mix, most humans tend to be tribal. You can do the experiment yourself. Just stand in the corner of a street and stare at a building. Eventually you'll have a bunch of lemmings looking too. No one cares to ask what they are looking at.

Proof read! Only going to reply to the first sentence, so don't change it to keep context. :)
I was pointing that nature quickly covered the Chernobyl event, and when the live news was broadcasting, it was going to be 20,000 years before the area would be habitable. I am inclined to say that's on a generational scale, not even close to geological if I saw it on the freaking television in my lifetime.

Sure there's some mutations (non life threatening, look up the black frogs). That entire area is now a wildlife refuge and doing well at that.
[QUOTE}Nature made nuclear reactor before we were here.[/QUOTE]
not at all at the same scale, and those geologic processes didn't generate waste that had to be disposed of or... otherwise dispensed of.
Ideally small reactors in geologically stable areas with passive protections, this would be far more sustainable than any of this battery crap.
No commune. You can come visit, maybe for dinner even, but I will be happy spending the following 50yr without dealing with many people.
Not interested in anarchy. Just leave me alone and I'll leave y'all alone. Follow the laws of the land, and just do the best I can to leave as little as behind as possible - you know, like the old days, leave it like you found it. If my offspring want to take over when I keep, so be it.
Ethics go a long way for humanity, and for some reason, it's being checked at the door for sake of greed.Are you sure we aren't currently semi-anarchist?
but from your description of your ideal retirement i think you might be closely aligned, other than being individualist rather than community-aligned. mutual aid is a big thing in the CA punk community.

Not gonna try to do quotes, Toughbook is closed so on the phone,but decay
I've come to hate the word "venn diagram", but it gave me a good visual haha.
Yes, human causes, and when it happened, it was all over the news - I remember clearly. Same year as the Challenger accident. Ukraine was going to be inhabitable for 20,000 years!
I said flip side because we caused it, yet nature reversed it quite quickly. Sure there's some mutations (non life threatening, look up the black frogs). That entire area is now a wildlife refuge and doing well at that.

Ideally small reactors in geologically stable areas with passive protections, this would be far more sustainable than any of this battery crap. The power density is simply not there - ICE's are getting pretty damned efficient. I can drive the e90 475mi in the city on 17gal, or produce enough electricity to power an avg home for 100dy (less than 2 gallons a day). If you remove the bureaucracy, my car engine would be cheaper than the grid - remove the mandated emissions and it does another 20% mileage, or has 20+% more efficiency. Chernobyl was stupid human error in the fact that we "must push that red button", and Fukushima, well, what would you expect when you build a reactor on the ocean, in a seismic area?
Don't get me started on ANY career politician. I lose all respect when one want to referee thier own fight and make laws with conflicting interest. Ethics are almost extinct. Term limits are a must. There's no reason octo/nonagenarians that make up 16%, running a country with a median age of 38 that make up 50%.
No commune. You can come visit, maybe for dinner even, but I will be happy spending the following 50yr without dealing with many people. Sure there will be fresh salad If you like, but don't tell me I'm wrong for eating meat. Soooo many of my friends are having their first kid at my age. Screw that! I had three in diapers at the same time, wouldn't want to be thinking about formula right now.

Ethics go a long way for humanity, and for some reason, it's being checked at the door for sake of greed. Does anyone remember the days when a box would sit out with a slot in it, and you paid on the "honor system"? Anyone worth a salt might be short one day, but they will feel bad and return the next go - or even perhaps drop in too much without correct change? Just in my generation went from honor system to locks on laundry soap. Are you sure we aren't currently semi-anarchist?

if you'd like a sorta-quick read, Bakunin would have wanted me to hunt down and share a translation/analysis of one of his books for free. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/libr...-basic-bakunin

Supposedly, life couldn't exist there, yet the city shows you how quickly nature will take over anything we built once we are not here to maintain it.
i don't have stats on what their cancer rates were like compared to areas less directly affected (which includes a *lot* of europe). there's also fukushima and three mile island... i'm not a big fan of nuclear power. partly because we'd been using depleted uranium ammunition in iraq for about 5 years before i got there and the few times we visited hospitals there they had flipper babies in formeldahyde jars in hospitals in fallujah when we medevac'd a combatant and not gonna lie that fucked with my head.
The bigger issue is humans are greedy and exploit until nothing is left.
The same people who are forcing regulations are the same ones benefiting from said exploits in the end.
Two more years, the last kid will be out the door, and I can go live on a plot of land, where I can have my shop in the yard, and grow/graze/hunt/fish my own food. Flowing water and bio gasification, I can have my own reliable electricity and have fuel for my other ICE's. Y'all can keep these cities - if it weren't for the school we have, we'd already be gone, all 4 have gone there from 6-12th grades and are on good paths.Last edited by decay; 12-07-2022, 08:40 PM.

even as someone who deployed to a part of the world where environmental practices permantly ruined the place- trust that it was some shit seeing somewhere in the world where nothing grows because there's no topsoil anymore and the sun "sets" 10 degrees above the horizon because air pollution- and then became a direct-action environmental activist (can't discuss too many details, the statute of limitations hasn't expired yet, but i did make a thread about my Standing Rock deploy in this subforum)- and then used that GI Bill money to go to school for environmental science to further understand the subject-
Firebird and i have gotten into it a few times and not just in this thread, but he's one of the last remaining members willing to discuss the issue reasonably and make his own data-driven arguments and then discuss what they mean. wait until you meet mrsleeve, if that dude shows up again, but i'm pretty sure he's given up on e30 projects and is still driving a ford f450.
maybe read a few pages back in the thread, because you just walked into a discussion that's been ongoing for years, and there's been a good debate going lately. remember how a couple people told you this ain't reddit?
choose your targets more carefully before you go weapons-hot.
