This is indisputably true, but downvoted without comment...

Sure, but it's only damaging globally. It's no more damaging to the local environment than to anywhere else on the planet.

Since not everyone seems to be familiar with human communication: The phrase "X is the hard part" means that X is the hardest part, not that all the other parts are easy.

Stopped reading when he out of nowhere felt the need to say that Linnaeus was probably a racist bigot, based on nothing.

Yeah, but are you getting the perfectly targeted ads that Google serves you?

One theory is that the shipping lanes there are not forced to go near the coast. Another is that Somalis are extra prone to piracy.

One story I've heard is that European colonists in the Caribbean only survived a few years before dying of Malaria. The natives didn't do any better. So the sugar industry started …

Most of this happened centuries before the germ theory of disease. No one on either side had any real clue what was going on, and most probably thought it was a cruel punishment fr…

On land we abandoned the hunter/gatherer system for farming thousands of years ago. Because it just doesn't scale! It can feed 50-100 million people at most. Maybe we need to empty…

The SO₂ cleans up itself in ~2 years.

Maybe it's not clear that I'm talking about what to do with the excess CO₂ after we've stopped emitting more! The stratospheric injections of SO₂ can bring temperatures down to hea…

Their huge solar panels will surely block some sunlight! That will lower the warming!

Surely it matters even more while we're still emitting?

The Mt Pinatubo volcanic eruption in 1991 actually did inject huge amounts of SO₂ to the stratosphere, and it disappeared over the next few years. While it remained, northern hemis…

One not very well known fact is that even if we stop emissions today, the elevated CO₂ levels will remain for many centuries. They way I think/hope we can fix this is two parts: 1.…

If we figured out how to store chopped down trees somewhere where the wood doesn't break down, that would be a really effective way to get CO2 out of the air! Easier said than done…

Germany is singled out because decided to close their safe and well functioning zero emission power plants for no good reason, thus exploding their CO2 emissions. Yeah, other emit …

Prescribed burns are a good way to clean forests! Burn the debris every 10-20 years rather than let it accumulate and become unstoppable disaster fires once a century. This tends t…

I looked this up, and you're right! Thanks for teaching me something new. That doesn't happen every day!

I really doubt they try to determine the immigration intentions of strangers they encounter. From what I hear, they kill any outsider within spear range.

Do we know anything about their morals, aside from that they kill immigrants at sight?

I can see how the evolutionary advantage of such hardened eggs would be huge!

Look at any outside surface in a rainy climate. The dirt may not be piling up, but it's far from clean.

It's perfectly rational to assume someone who didn't bother to clean the house before selling probably didn't take good care of the house in other, less visible ways.
