As far as I can tell, the "current serious effects" are always handwavy

Your lack of perception is irrelevant.

'look at all the people that die from heat!' (invariably after a hot week in summer; again routinely and repeatedly debunked by statistics that show 6-10x more people die from cold than heat

And now we see what it stems from, a total lack of logic. Run along now.

Yes, but not his bankruptcies. That's something his accountants learned after his five or six bankruptcies. The YOB always demands his money up front and he never puts any of his own money into anything. The risk goes to the "investors" in the increasingly worthless brand (which I now decline to use). Mostly makes me wonder where the YOB is squandering the loot...

Not a bad FP branch though I think there was more room for Funny.

On the serious side, I think this picture is not worth a thousand words. The medical application really calls for chemical analysis. Even genetic analysis if an actual doctor wants to know what is really going on in there.

But I mostly wanted an excuse to cite Toire No Himitsu . Sorry, but it hasn't been translated into English and that seems quite unlikely, too. It would probably be "The Secrets of Toilets". Mostly about the development of the washlet. It's Volume 22 in one of Gakken's series of books about secrets. (Currently passing Volume 224...) Each volume has a corporate sponsor. That's Toto in the case of Volume 22. (I've read the entire series, starting with "The Secrets of Hamburgers" sponsored by McDonald's.)

What you said was dumb because what we need is to reduce emissions further than our weak targets. Also automakers do NOT have any trouble meeting the targets. They could have met those targets years ago, but they would have had to make less exciting vehicles. You're putting your excitement over sustainability. This explains why you support a child molester's tampering with the future.

The idea that humans in 2100 will politely sit on their hands while the planet burns is genuinely adorable.

It's happening now. There are serious effects now. And there is mostly a lot of thumb-sitting going on.

Humans invent things.

Yes, for profit.

AI is already chewing through research faster than half the committees publishing these forecasts.

AI is chewing through NATURAL RESOURCES faster.

Pretending society wonâ(TM)t respond, wonâ(TM)t adapt and wonâ(TM)t innovate is probably the most unrealistic assumption in the whole exercise.

We don't have to pretend, we can see it happening right now. Or rather, not happening.

For example if you need to get call records months after the fact, with prepaid, tough shit, they don't have them at all.

Nonsense.

Want HD calling? Prepaid got it years after postpaid.

Why would I care? I don't speak a language for which call quality matters.

Paying three times as much or more for someone else to keep records for you is dumb. My phone keeps records for me.
