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.

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.

Like letting people make their own choices? How is letting someone choose to sell or eat a Slim Jim immoral?

Ok, I'll byte: Like letting people make their own choices? How is letting someone choose to sell or smoke meth immoral?

So then, why do we make selling or smoking meth illegal? Is it because of *shock* the costs to society?

Essentially, if you are against meth being legal, then you should equally be against 'ultraprocessed' foods being legal. The real bitch is defining what 'ultraprocessed' REALLY means.

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.
