You do realize that if the economy stopped billions of people would die, right?

I'm all for lowering emissions, I've been supporting serious climate change legislation for my entire adult life, but pretending the global economy isn't a serious and important thing misses the point.

It’s non-binding, how is it the “Worlds Highest Court” when it has no actual authority?

I feel like this article was written by the worlds highest journalist.

Fascinating research but I’m actually frightened by the prospect of scientists tampering with a tomato genome segment that, when modified through genetic engineering techniques, activates a primitive tomato defense mechanism.

How do they compare when cooked and in sauces though, that's the important question?

Isn’t this the start of Left Behind?

China plays a long game and their defining moment will be trying to take over Taiwan. Hong Kong proves they can be pretty ruthless against politically opposed "Chinese" nationals. If they manage to take over Taiwan then I dont expect them to allow much political dissent. I don't think its wild to think there will come a day when China tries to forcably take back Taiwan.

The Kremlin isn't their Oligarchs. Its a legitimate time of war and their propaganda feels like it would justify using nukes. Like half of the time they are talking about fighting Nazis and Satanists. That type of demonification feels intentional and pretty hard to reverse.

Fick Kevin McCarthy but he should do it, china doesn't get to tell us what to do.

It'll obviously a big long term change in climate and disruption in the food chain. All countries need to start prepping for it. There won't be any food and any gov and any humans left if we don't handle things properly.

Ultimately we might be too young as a species to handle such big issues. Its not about small bunches of people surviving the big calamity. People will survive anyway. But that will not amount to anything unless its properly calibrated. Leave things to natural process, people will go back to being simple minded farmers and will inevitably go extinct at some point later. Its unlikely human civilization will reemerge as a big capable species ever again out of the simple minded frame of being. The whole thing has to be calibrated with the right kind of future oriented secular narrative that promotes right culture and right growth and right frame of mind and right identity and promote high capacity in everything. But problem is we can't even handle the small existence in limited time frame we have so far. We are still at that proto human mind set.

Frostpunk about to get too real.

It's basically Ebola^LITE

How about some coffee, Johnny?

We are all going to die but if we have to die we might as well do it for something worth the sacrifice! FOR THE ECONOMY! LET OIR DEATHS NOT BE IN VAIN! LONG LIVE THE ECONOMY!

Russian commander: targeting sistem improved 27% we now can hit an ocean

I thought the US specifically stated not to do that.

Usually these kinds of headlines just write stuff like that to be clickbaity, because doom sells well.

However... having read the important parts of the paper, this is worrying. A new model using more information has predicted this and I'd say the headline accurate enough. They could add: if little to nothing is done to curb emissions.

So yeah, this is bad news. Because curb the emissions we will not.

Are you paid to do this or just misinformed?

It's also strongly encouraging the ukranian govt to clean house and crack down HARD on corruption in order to keep arms and money flowing. Their continued existence depends on weeding out the assholes, so it'll be interesting how long it takes to change the culturally accepted level of corruption in peacetime.

Pfft, that’s nothing to my Sigmassive Black Gape.

I don’t know if you’re living under a rock, but the US and its allies are gaining momentum. On the eastern front, they are getting more support from countries in the South China Sea like Vietnam and the Philippines, Australia is building a stronger navy to keep China in check, France is setting up closer ties with India with the idea to reduce their military dependence on Russian weapons, economic war with China supported from each of the western allies such as blocking China’s access to high-tech semiconductors. On the western front in Europe, Nato is getting rebuffed with more investment in defence within its member countries, Finland and Sweden joining Nato thus containing Russia further, Ukraine applying to join the EU bloc and doing a pretty good job at draining Russian military and financial ressources.

The way I see it, the West are doing pretty well. And that’s good. I’d support then anytime instead of supporting tyranny.

When millennials think of a fighter jet, they probably go to f16 first. Anyway with all the f35 hoopla it felt like mentioning a f16 is a boomer moment, but thankfully Russia out here causing a second golden age.

The f16 is roughly 50 years old now

Won't you come,.
