  • If a population is given infinite resources, sure, theoretically.

    I didn't say they were given infinite resources. I said if a population is growing exponentially does that mean it will continue to do so.

    The energy that comes from the sun is cumulative and may as well be considered infinite since the sun isn't going out any time soon.

    Yeah?

    Did you really think that was a gotchya?

    What? It was a question you didn't answer. Why do you assume just because something is exponential that it will continue. Another example- transistor size in processors exponentially shrinks. Does that mean eventually it's going to reach zero nm? (hint the answer is no)

    I'm also not saying that this disproves something can exponentially fall to zero. I'm just saying, stating the current relationship doesn't guarantee it will continue.

    Look at every other planet. That ours happens to be energetically at a temp to support life is the exception.

    Earth is very far removed from other planets in terms of atmospheric conditions.

  • If a population exponentially grows does that mean it will continue infinitely? Why would the reverse be certain to be different?

  • Nothing you've shown says that 100% of species will go extinct xd

  • What I mean is that ALL species in those categories are affected.

    Effected yes, going extinct? No.

    We are specifically talking about if all life will be wiped out.

  • Extinction of individual unfit species doesn't mean the total collapse of life.

  • Then you should recall that some of the largest megafauna ever lived for tens of millions of years at much higher temperatures(and therefore sea levels)

  • That's easy to say in retrospect, it's hard for a lot of people to answer something they didn't expect on the spot, even if they know the answer

  • The issue is he couldn't know at that moment if what the students said or their portrayal of it is accurate. Furthermore, people can't just instantly reach informed conclusions about things, a lot of people need, yk time to think. If I try to think about something on the spot I'll just stutter and not make any sense

  • Do you mean used or new(granted, I don't know new car prices) but you can get working used ICE cars for under $1000 in the US.

  • He’s just about the only “Democrat” who could be elected in a blood red coal mining state.

    Plenty of Democrats get elected in majority red states- like Andy Beshear
