An aside, the whole masters in social work phenomenon has been a great way to neutralize well meaning people who would have otherwise put their energy in attempting to change society

Here is a new talking point Im just starting to see floated by conservatives and succ dems

"Climate change may be real and human caused but we need to also look at adaptation and not just mitigation. There's gonna be winners and losers and nobody wants to say this but it's going to be a net benefit for some people"

The latest episode of make me smart gave almost a whole episode to one of these fuckos and I almost smashed my phone.

Given we'll have exhausted all easy-to-reach non-renewables within the next century or two, it's very unlikely any intelligent species that pops up over the remaining 500 million years of life on this rock will have a shot at industrialization, much less spaceflight.

He's not immediately wrong w.r.t. albido and all that, but he's vastly underestimating the industrial output and labor that it'd require, of which I have no idea but suspect it'd end up being somwhat of a wash anyways (and no actual replacement for losing the albido of the entire artic lmfao)

How is that even a good talking point? Yeah some people will be better off and will take advantage of the mess? How is that a good thing? There shouldn't be a mess in the first place!

They're correct in that some sort of major geoengineering project to lower the albedo of the entire planet would reduce global warming.

Its up there with solar shades as far as current practicality though.

This is pretty unsettling coming from an expert who I’d also marked as a relentless optimist.

Climate scientists aren't optimistic about emissions. Just about people eventually listening.

the proper degree to get is a degree in engineering or computer science & something because you're gonna need to spend all your money on a loan to put your brain in a robotic body capable of surviving the harsh post-climate change environment. your dick is going to be replaced with an amazon ez-button capable of quick-ordering one item of your choice

I'm not smart enough to solve the problem, so helping the homeless is at least reducing suffering. I'd imagine there will be a lot more homeless people as the years go on.
