Comment on A timeline of what it's like to spend the evening with the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion in ~enviro
Dup_dup Link ParentEven with climate change there still will be habitable spaces that you can grow food in. And you underestimate the power of humans, whether it is a greenhouse dome, or a giant bunker, humans will...This is just magical thinking. Our "cleverness" got us into this situation but there is no viable technology available or close to available that will get us out. While we have speech and prehensile thumbs, we still have to eat, drink, and breathe and climate change is going to make it much more difficult to do any of these things.
Even with climate change there still will be habitable spaces that you can grow food in. And you underestimate the power of humans, whether it is a greenhouse dome, or a giant bunker, humans will be able to survive.
Previous periods of change lasted tens of thousands of years, which is possible for natural life to adapt to. Our current shift is a timeframe of 100 - 200 years which most life can't adapt to. Regarding asteroid strikes, look into global warming's effect on ocean acidification. That's going to be the hammer to global warming's anvil.
Evolution happens over generations of animals, the ones that can reproduce quicker can evolve quicker. Things like some bugs and rodents wont die (same things that mainly survived the last extinctions).

Dup_dup LinkI find this article very sensationalist. First off, I don't like the name "Extinction Rebellion". Yes, climate change is an issue, but I find it unlikely humans will go extinct because of it....I find this article very sensationalist.
First off, I don't like the name "Extinction Rebellion". Yes, climate change is an issue, but I find it unlikely humans will go extinct because of it. Humans are the most crafty and resourceful animals on the planet, they are also the smartest and understand the world better than anything else.
Second, in the article it says: Planet Earth is hurtling toward irrecoverable destruction at an alarming rate. This is far from the truth, earth has experienced climates way wormer than what it will be in the next hundred years; but life adapted and evolved. Ffs earth has recovered from asteroid strikes that blotted out the sun for years.
Climate change is an issue that will affect many people, but this article makes it seem like the world is ending.

Dup_dup LinkYet we still have people in the USA that deny that its even happening, despite the affects being seen right now. People are so damn ignorant.Yet we still have people in the USA that deny that its even happening, despite the affects being seen right now.

Comment on Crazy idea to help stop the spreading of untruthful news in ~tildes
Dup_dup Link ParentI don't understand what you mean by this A vote maybe File a complaint to the fact checkers, they can re-review it If tildes ever grows, maybe payment. Otherwise just the knowledge that you are...- I don't understand what you mean by this
- A vote maybe
- File a complaint to the fact checkers, they can re-review it
- If tildes ever grows, maybe payment. Otherwise just the knowledge that you are stopping the spread of misinformation.
- The fact checkers aren't there to completely moderate, but to weed out the bad sources, so that might not be as big of a problem once some of the sources have been ruled out.

One of the main issues with news on social media is the spread of fake or false news. This happens on every platform that allows sharing news. If Tildes continues to gain popularity, this will likely happen on Tildes. I had an Idea: what if tildes had a group of fact checkers that check to see if the news is truthful, and block posts that link to untrustworthy new sites? could be like a 3 strikes thing, where if a new source has 3 articles posted that have misinformation, they would be blocked (the post also removed).
This is just an idea, feel free to highlight any issues with it.

Dup_dup LinkUnfortunately, large corporations that spew massive amounts of Co2 will not be persuaded by a few women that refuse to have kids. But hey, things are looking better: more car companies are going...Unfortunately, large corporations that spew massive amounts of Co2 will not be persuaded by a few women that refuse to have kids. But hey, things are looking better: more car companies are going electric, people from around the world are protesting, there are multiple companies working on carbon capture tech. The world is getting more environmentally aware in general.

Dup_dup LinkPersonally, I think the notch will be replaced by under-screen cameras, that will only appear when you want to take a picture. We have transparent OLED screens, so I think it is possible.Personally, I think the notch will be replaced by under-screen cameras, that will only appear when you want to take a picture.

Comment on What are your views on hydrogen powered vehicles? in ~transport
Dup_dup Link ParentIirc lithium hasn't outpaced in power density, (hydrogen is about 200x more power dense), but batteries are more efficient.Iirc lithium hasn't outpaced in power density, (hydrogen is about 200x more power dense), but batteries are more efficient.

Dup_dup Link ParentWell, hydrogen can be produced from water via electrolysis, but this is only about 80% efficient.Well, hydrogen can be produced from water via electrolysis, but this is only about 80% efficient.

What are your views on hydrogen powered vehicles?
Do you think they will be the next big thing, or end up being impractical in the long run?

Things that reproduce quickly (e.g. rodents) can evolve in the span of a few hundred years. I never said we would evolve, but humans are at a point where they don't need to evolve to survive. We have the technology to survive a lot of things. For example, if the climate got too bad for farming, we could build indoor 3 dimensional hydroponic farms.
