....there are model calculations for marching the secret climate police across the entire world to stop all carbon emissions?!?!?!

So the answer above is, if ALL emissions are ceased, the climate impacts will cease ('approximately cancelling').

Which means that you're running a scam here.

If you marched your secret climate police across the entire world to stop all carbon emissions, how long will that take? No one wants to give out a number.

I'm yo huckleberry...

However, what I'd like to ask is how many years do "science slashdotters" expect it to take before slowing down the increase of whatnots into the atmosphere is supposed to do anything on the order of slowing down climate change.

It's a very simple question. Don't try to overthink it; just put out a number. I have a rough guess. Let's compare.

Pretty much.

Apple may be able to afford a lawyer or two. "Demanding" a retraction is like "threatening" to sue. Shit or get off the pot.

Thanks for playing: the servers were dumped in '15-'16.

Undiscussed in all this is Why did both Apple and Amazon dump SuperMicro at roughly the same time?

Well, you're wrong. Critical social-mass requires an ease-of-use that is equivalent to FB's. Ease of use is what hooked people. Unfortunately, there's probably not any money in solving this problem.

^^ That's the whole issue: Facebook is a closed platform. Use open protocols, then make your platform have value over others. They did it backward.

Google's search algorithm business should be nationalized, its patents freed. Then their ad network would be much less offensive.

Facebook is different. We would need a magic-box-software install from which non-tech people could publish their own content, then a .torrent-based publicization method. It would end up similar to Newsgroups, but the security & trust problems are significant ("magic").

Should I buy a boat?

Lots of "Public Opinion" is generated by non-citizen actors, that is, people hiding behind anonymity and money. Laws could fix this, but, alas, there is more money than there are people with guts.

Well, they probably don't pay near the tax rate I do, and they have the ability to incorporate and speak more often in elections than I do. Other than that, I personally don't hold a vague, nonspecific grudge.

What the fuck are you talking about? I am poor, and you probably are too.

Everyone is pretending. Everyone plays make-believe to support their own side.

Pretending that you can control everyone is folly. Wanting to is worse.

The plans you seem to advocate will take a thousand years to impact what is already set in motion.

It will be ugly, brutish and nasty. Pretending it won't happen in our lifetime is folly. Pretending you can stop it in a dozen lifetimes probably is, too.

Pretending? I can't do anything about it. I'm outnumbered by morons.
