Most all of humanity existed in a lower CO2 in the atmosphere.

In a bit of irony, in that era, the more likely problem was the opposite - global coolingYou could get a huge volcano eruption that pumps particulates and sulfur aerosols into the atmosphere. And it would cool the earth for some time. That is also where some people get the idea of aerosol injection to cool the planet, which is like saying "We'll cool teh earth, and put up with a thousand years of acid rain and it's health effects on animal, destroying buildings, acidifying the oceans and destroying forests. A terrible idea, but with all the FUD, some think it is a good idea - or else they ignore the likely greater destruction. It would probably cause more extinctions than AGW.

But back to the volcanoes I came up with a doomsday scenario based upon a huge eruption cycle that cooled the earth for say a decade. A number of huge volcanic eruptions pump large amounts of fine volcanic ash and Sulfur aerosols into the atmosphere. It has happened in the past, with 536 C.E. being considered the worst example, almost 2 years of crop failures. There were indeed deaths worldwide. Now possibly connected due to a weakened state, a plague a few years later, and the end was around half of humanity left.

Today, the results could be pretty horrifying. We could have crops fail in places where surplus food is shipped to other nations that already have a shortage of food the shipments make up for the deficit. So we could end up with an even larger percentage end up dead.

In irony, this could happen in an AGW affected earth. Is it likely? No. But you never know. The earth doesn't really care about humanity, almost every living organism on earth has gone extinct. It is hubris to believe we are exempt.

Of course, and make no mistake, there are going to be some extinctions, So it isn't all based on the rate of change, though a lot is. Like at the end of the Pennsylvanian period, where so much CO2 had been sequestered, temperatures dropped.

That sequestered CO2 is a big part of the mess we have now. We de-sequestered it in the form of coal and oil.

Chip-scale atomic clocks are a thing. The problem is that they aren't exactly low enough power to be wrist mounted as they need 115 mW constantly. You absolute can make it into a wristwatch (and people have) but it will need regular charging... unless you are using betavoltaic nuclear batteries. However to reach the power output needed with what is on the market, you would need about 120K of them.

The natural reaction to this is "what's the purpose of building up that kind of arm strength if the batteries are just going to die in 50 years?" and the answer is the diamond battery! This is a newer betavoltaic battery which is in the same power output range but lasts for thousands of years because it's based on Carbon-14.

Start doing those reps today because the watch of your dreams is 2400Kg.

Now do the USA.

You aren't kidding! Young women need role models that aren't pop culture divas.

The only caveat is that the promoters sometimes have a problem of adding digs at men, as in telling us how men suppressed women.

So rather than say "Annie Jump Cannon" was an incredible Astronomer, who took on the daunting work of cataloging stars, even creating the first they say how she was ignored, and uncelebrated because of the patriarchy. Fact is she had many accolades and was extremely worthy of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Or how Hedy Lamarr invented spread spectrum and I've even heard WiFi, and the articles spent most of the time on how she was not rewarded because she was a woman, and that she was only appreciated for her beauty. In fact, she partnered with George Anthiel, a composer, and put out a patent in the end. It was a little late for WW2, but still a very good work. She and he were eventually inducted into the Inventors hall of fame. Probably the proper accolade.

Point is, it is a great thing to give young women positive science and technology role modelsIt is perhaps not as good a thing to encourage hatred of men at the same time by adding how they were so horribly repressed. Because at that time, it sends a message of misandry.

Blocking DNS is like preventing illegal raves by taking the street numbers off the buildings.

Quick! Think of dead kittens!

But I can tell you right now that wages in the IT industry have dropped massively. The question is have they dropped more than other jobs but that completely ignores the fact that every single line of work is under assault by the Epstein class. It's gotten so bad that they are going after doctors.

I'm sure you've noticed how many doctors are running for political office that's not an accident that is a response to private equity moving in on their territory and cutting their wages

It does not matter what you do for a living or how poorly you live there is no amount of wealth or property you can own that is low enough to make the Epstein class happy. They want everything so that you are forced to treat them like gods because they control your access to food and water and the things you need to just be alive and so they are literally deciding who lives and who dies and you will fall over backwards to please them and to glorify them like someone worshiping a god.

on not knowing what functional unemployment is. The Epstein class thanks you for your service. Remember ignorance is strength!

The lament of a crypto-bro.

Yeah I know that. And they will reorganize on paper and apply and everything will be as it is today except somebody will have to do some extra paperwork. A few Indians will be shuffled around because in the confusion some of them will get sent back to their country and replaced by different indians. None of them will be replaced by Americans.

The Republican party is lying to you and you can't possibly not know that.

It's frustrating because the Democrat party while they don't lie to you they sit there and tell you to just suck it the fuck down and absolutely nobody is protecting our jobs.

But if I'm given the choice between the Republican fascists lying to me and the Democrats at least telling me the truth I guess I'll settle for the Democrats. If nothing else they don't start pointless wars. If Al Gore had been in office back in the day we'd have 7 to 10 trillion dollars of extra cash on hand and if Trump wasn't president the national debt would be another 10 trillion lower. Literally half the national debt is the Republicans running up the credit card for absolutely nothing... I mean except lining their own pockets.

Projecting an exponential curve out 60 years IS a calculation. It's just not a correct interpretation of the data.

Turns out people self-regulate their birth rate better than he thought. South Korea and Japan are experiencing a different problem: too low a birth rate. And China is now realizing their One Child policy was a mistake, as they trained their people to NOT have kids.

Adobe is one of THE most predatory software companies in existence, and that includes Microsoft, Oracle, PeopleSoft, VMWare, and SalesForce.

They're absolute predatory scumbags who do everything they can to punish you for daring to use their software. Suck it, Adobe.

You won't like how civilization fairs to a massive shift in climate, precipitation, and ocean currents. Far less has collapsed civilizations before.
