A lifeless schema. The obvious answer is the dialectical negation of sexual relations.

At that point it's better to limit your interactions with them

The great thing about forgetting much of your high school education is you can relearn using Soviet textbooks this time.

Unfortunately it is possible to spin propaganda on objective facts as well, even though the US often prefers entirely fabricated pretenses.

The traditional Chinese translation says warming of 5°C, and although I can't procure a digital version of the original Japanese edition, I am assuming this is Bergstrom's fault.

I am reading Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto written by Kōhei Saitō and translated by Brian Bergstrom and the editing is absolutely infuriating. They went with Fahrenheit instead of Celsius and are conflating average temperatures with temperature increase:

would result in a rise in average global temperatures by 38.3°F by the year 2100

Nordhaus later became stricter in his recommendations for how to combat global warming, but still with an aim to keep the rise in temperatures between 35.6°F and 37.4°F, rather than between the more accepted 34.7°F and 35.6°F range.

No one speaks on climate change like this! I am not sure if Saitō and/or Bergstrom are just incompetent and willing to dumb things down for uneducated Americans, or if they are maliciously phrasing it like this to make climate change sound even more dire.

Racism, yes, but also sexism
