I'm a climate scientist by trade. Interested in interesting things. Ecology, complexity, politics, social change, music.

  • What are the odds that we are all in a simulation?

  • Probably about the same as for whether a god exists.

  • why do you people delete your posts?

  • I think it probably starts a long way before a kiss or a touch. At least, I'd hope it does.

  • What are some methods of distributed civil disobedience for Americans?

  • Sure, getting arrested is always a risk with civil disobedience. I've been to a few corporate and political party office sit-ins. Usually we've had one or two people (sometimes hundreds) volunteer to be arrested, and others leave before it gets to that point. How risky that is for the ones leaving early will depend a lot on how the authorities act in your jurisdiction though.

    1. Its different for everyone, and there will usually be multiple influencing factors, not just one big one, but
    2. I already pointed out one big one in my last sentence.

  • Eh? Corporate HQs are all in city centres, and the vast majority of people live in cities...

  • I don't think there's some fraction of people who are ethically driven, and the rest don't care. Everyone sits on multiple spectra for what they care about, and where their thresholds for acting are. Most people are under the pump for cost of living, and that's pretty dominant when you're on the verge of poverty. Get those people a bit more stability, and they'll have more capacity to care about broader ethical ssues..

  • How would you propose we actually combat climate change?

    Jump

  • To me its how roughly we want the fucking to be ultimately and can we bring it back down to a more tender and loving level.

    More or less, yeah

  • "climate based economy"?

  • "Point of no return" is a simplistic concept. It depends on the your threshold for how bad it gets. Most climate scientists would agree that we're just at or about to pass the 1.5°C target. But they would also agree that ever extra fraction of a degree matters. It's not a question of "when are we fucked?" Its a question of "how quickly can we act to minimise severity of change?"

    Source: am climate scientist, have been to a major climate conference in the last few months, and talk to other climate scientists regularly.

  • There are no carbon capture and storage technologies proven to work at a meaningful scale.

    There's a lot of discussion of Mississippi's age verification law for social media today, after Bluesky announced they're blocking the state.
