Yeah but 0^0 = 1, maybe we just need to inject him with heaps of meth first or something. It's not like we could make the situation worse

One of the richest people in the world has the humour of a 14 year old boy slipping through the cracks of the education system.

I guess it doesn't really surprise me though, if only this money went to something good.

This game looks fun as

That's cool and all, it won't help with the global view that America is erratic and not to be trusted now since their economy can flip on a dime

BRICS goes brrrrr

Oh I can definitely get behind that, I have my gripes with how the current climate consensus is insidiously stacked to give policymakers leeway and mislead the public with this bullshit.

I'm reading through it now and this part on NGFS reports really captures the sentiment:

This is analogous to carrying out a risk assessment of the impact of the Titanic hitting an iceberg but excluding from our model the possibility that the ship could sink, the shortage of lifeboats, and death from drowning or hypothermia.

As much as I hate talking about 'duh economee' when it comes to climate change (a thing that threatens the existence of us and many other beings) this report nails it.

Also the critical observations are good talking points when dealing with deniers/idiots

At 4C of warming the feedback loops of Earth begin to accelerate at an unprecedented rate, the economy is irrelevant from this point onwards.

Just one of these feedback loops has more CO2 equivalent than over 60% of anthropogenic emissions since the industrial revolution.

At 4C of warming the human race is due for extinction unless through its self perceived exceptionalism it somehow manages to circumvent the laws of thermodynamics.

The alternative is we start building a better tomorrow TODAY.

At least it can't be as bad as what we've got in Australia.

A ham fisted law passed through to ban 'all vapes' except for a select few that are manufactured by philip morris and the other big tobacco companies.

The tax on cigarettes alongside this has made an extremely lucrative black market for organised crime.

If you don't mind me asking when did you join reddit?

[–] Gronk@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

I agree but the fediverse doesn't solve all issues, once it attracts mainstream attention we will have corporate advertising that subverts the system with bad advice to make sure you buy their sub-optimal products.

Reddit used to be a wealth of information for things like this and it was poisoned by those corpo-ghouls.

Obligatory fuck spez and fuck the botched knob job nazi who he kowtows too.
