My friend, everything is changing all the time. Welcome to the physical world. What is causing the changes is another matter [that obviously you have figured out already].Vitruvius wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 7:29 pmVitruvius wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 6:00 pmEveryone can predict the future. The difficult part is to do so accurately. To accurately predict the future, you have to understand the causes of effects. The physical causes of climate change are fairly simple. The thicker the atmosphere, the more heat it holds. The principle was first used to explain the surprisingly high surface temperature of Venus. So, are you saying the thick atmosphere of Venus isn't the reason for the unusually high surface temperature? Are you saying that, if we make earth's atmosphere thicker - the temperature won't change?simplicity wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 4:48 pmObviously you are not a student of history as looking rearward reveals that few have had any clue as to what the future holds because 99% of what makes the future what it is has not yet occurred. Factor that in with the notion that our pea brains are capable of exceedingly little as well as having absolutely no access to Reality what-so-ever, revealed by the idea that our perception exists in the past [time lag].Please don't hold back your feelings [which is exactly what you are sharing]. Explain why we would not be able to survive if our senses were not accurate to reality. What we can process is rudimentary, at best. Do you really believe that anything thought to be true today will also be thought to be true in 100 or 500 years?Vitruvius wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 7:29 pmThat's untrue. I could explain at great length how and why this kind of subjectivist bullshit is promoted by philosophy, but it would then appear I'm responding to your accusation of ignorance by demonstrating my historical knowledge. Instead, I'll give you the evolutionary explanation of why subjectivism is wrong. If our senses were not accurate to reality, we could not have survived.

Seems like they have covered all the bases in a short period of time.I get it. What you believe is the hard, fast truth and what doesn't fit your narrative is urban legend. Makes sense.Vitruvius wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 7:29 pmI believe that's an urban myth based on a media misrepresentation of science. Or at least, every-time someone has mentioned this, and I've challenged them to produce the paper - no-one has ever done so. It's just a right wing, climate change denial talking point - throwing flak in the air to hide the reality, and excuse continued fossil fuel use.
Then control yourself. You've been told, whether climate is real - is not up for debate here. If you want to discuss that topic, start your own thread.simplicity wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 4:48 pmPeople seem to worry about everything except what they can direct control [their own behavior].
This thread is about solving climate change.
As long as you're going to solve the climate change thing, can you lower the humidity a little? Also, can you work on getting rid of the gnats and I'd like an extra hour/hour and half of daylight during December and January, as well? Can you put that on my account? Thanks!
