Advocating that society should be engineered towards resilience is not a new thing, it's what keeps us safe from earthquakes, for example.
You have no guarantee that we can stop global warming. I happen to think we will not. Too many politics, laziness and complacency.
It is not an unreasonable demand, what we try to build better insulated houses, further away from the sea. Just in case.
People go see the Red Square on purpose. It's called tourism.
We should spend more time getting ready for the fact that, even though we created global warming, Earth has warmed and cooled of its own volition in the past and is not contractually obliged to hold a comfortable temperature range or a certain sea level. Species adapt or die. Stop building in floodplains maybe?
Now that we know the ice caps can melt and raise sea levels to a certain height, maybe we should go live in a high place.
What are you going to do if the sun suddenly warms up in an unexpected way, are you going to try cooling down the sun?
Shouldn't we at least have a plan B in case we can't immediately fix this?
Pardon my French.
What unit are you using? 1.6 grams per kilo for a largish 100 kg man is 160 grams which is less than a steak. Slightly over 1/3 lb for you americans.

Just park it down at Cape Kennedy or in Vegas and you will be making a constant and continuous 150,000-200k++ a year. This vehicle will outproduce any rental property you can buy for a million dollars. It's an investment. Not only that it's a smart investment because no one's ever going to be able to compete with you. Or use it to promote you company products, or rent it for events for $10k a pop. There are tons of possibilities
Yea, right... You claim someone can easily make $150k+/year renting this out but couldn't even find a starting bidder at $50k.
Real "used car salesman" vibes here...
In my country court proceedings are secret, as their disclosure can harm ongoing investigations, or simply violate someone's constitutional right to privacy.
Accusations are not convictions. And even if you were convicted of something that's no one else's business. You pay your debt to society, you have the right to a clean slate. Never hear of the Right to be Forgotten laws?
If the US does not protect its I'm sure that one day it will get finally get rid of the media circus bullshit and let people have their dignity.
You're the record holders for bible-thumping, how about "Judge not lest ye be judged" etc.
A long time ago...
Seriously the site with the most potential so poorly run that those in power imposed zero tolerance for anybody trying to solve a problem different than the way they would solve a problem and would nuke your karma to the point where you couldn't participate if you disagreed with them.
Ever have difficulty disconnecting an RJ45 cable? Well, here was our opportunity to just cut the damn things off instead of figuring out why the little tab wouldn't release the plug."
Sums up in two sentences, the general intellectual capacity of a Stack Overflow admin.
Seriously, I've never encountered such a toxic "help environment" as Stack Overflow. If you search for solutions you'd get 10 year old answers that no longer apply. If you ask a new question, their admins admonish you because the question was asked already (10 years ago).
What happened? Necromancy? I haven't heard of it in like 20 years.
They're throwing shit at us because they're bored and their AI is so inbred after several generations of consuming its ancestors' slop that it hallucinates frequently and so the asteroids miss Earth.
I think you just described humans. WE are the danger to this world, and provide no value to it
No one eats viruses but quite a lot of species depend on mosquitoes to survive, or eat the mosquito-eaters to survive.
You don't have to kill any mosquitoes, just replace them with a genetically modified version that is resistant to parasites?
Quite a lot of animals feed on insects, and then some carnivores might feed on them.
If you overfish sardines, anything bigger than a sardine may also suffer a population decline, as it is a staple food for lots of yummy fish and also marine mammals..
