Tell us all about it then, colonel

Considering their idea of peace is the total capitulation of their opponent and systematic erasure of its population, I dont see what tangible benefit inviting them would be.

Basic evolutionary and technological processes, I guess. Combustible fuels are the simplest step a species can take.

The evidence in the geological record shows that this level of ocean acidification has never been hit this quickly before. This level of ocean acidificaion is the highest its been in 300 million years and there is nothing indicating it has any intention of going down.

It’s a great show, I’ve seen it. The problem is the rate of ocean acidification is unprecedented at this speed in our geological history, and that our current level hasn’t been hit in 300 million years, and we’re still trucking. This could create an irreversible change.

The other thing to factor in is this will be it for intelligent life. We won’t get another chance at a species progressing the way we did because much of the world’s easily accessible oil has been used up.

No, I absolutely do not. In fact, that’s my most optimistic outlook. If ocean acidification continues at the rate it’s going, we’ll have complete collapse of the oceans, which are the core and source of our entire planet’s biosphere.

It’s also beyond fucking stupid to read some asshole playing the “gotcha” game when the answer won’t be visible in our lifetimes, and the solution needs to start happening today.

It can’t be solved on an individual level, but that’s exactly where it has to start. Any movement begins with one person convincing another, who convinces another, and so on until it weaves its way through the zeitgeist. Nothing will ever be accomplished if we just say “nuh uh, it’s the companies and the government’s fault!” Once a critical mass is reached, the corporations and governments will have to bow to the people’s will or face a revolution. It’s the only way it works, and it’s the only way it has ever worked.

Nuclear power is opposed because people are afraid of it. People are not logical and they’re definitely not smart, so when they think of a nuclear reactor, they imagine an atomic bomb blowing up over and over while it powers a generator, like a more powerful combustion engine.

Russia will simply destabilize anything it can. They tried to get all of Africa, but it turns out they can see through their bullshit like everyone else, so they’ve decided to fuck with a handful of countries instead. These countries, by the way, are often responsible for vast diamond mining operations, with Russia being the number one country for both sourcing and laundering blood diamonds on the planet.

The people organizing this shit are the ones who are becoming African mining oligarchs. It’s essentially the same as Russia’s attempted playbook in Ukraine.

No it will not. There is absolutely zero evidence of that, and if anything, the ocean warming levels point to the contrary. It can just as easily spiral into the opposite direction and create a greenhouse style system like you see on Venus. Even if we died today, biodiversity levels would take millions of years to get back to pre-industrial levels.

They will never collect. This is like busting a guy selling grams on the corner, releasing him the next day and claiming you’ve shut down the entire drug running operation.
