Unfortunately, [3] mentions the 97% consensus nonsense, making the rest of it less credible as well.

Still, nothing life threatening has happened so far, all the doomsday things are projections of the future.

There is a huge difference between "humans affect the climate" and "we are all going to die within a couple of years because of human's effects on the climate".

No, headlines like that is how "believers" argue. Just cut out the hyperbole and present reasonable, verifiable arguments, not appeals to authority.

And you think it is important that it should have been clicked and read? Why?

Announcing the paper with such hyperbole makes me less likely to want to read it. It just makes it very unlikely to live up to the hype. I wonder if you have read the paper, btw?

One group of scientists, who can't imagine that their self invented model could be wrong, can't imagine any other reasons than man made changes for the results of their model simul…

There seem to be companies that embrace WFH, so if I was in that situation, I would strive to become employed at such a company.

I have nothing against work just being work, but I think there are different types of companies for a reason. If you want work to just be work, you can choose a company that treats…

If they learned that they have awful coworkers, they can quit again. I just don't get the sense of entitlement many people seem to have.

Didn't they choose their jobs, and with that, their co-workers? I'd like to see them argue "I don't want to come to the office because I don't like to be surrounded by people like …

Still, it is mostly a cosmetic problem, while we are supposed to believe that global warming will kill us all in a short amount of time. So the priorities should be clear.

No it doesn't. The interest on the mortgage can be as low as 0.5%, so even if you pay in cash, you would only be at 1,5% yields (with my generous example of achieving 1% yields via…

Where can you get 9% yield on housing? Where I live, you can only buy houses at prices that are above what you can get back in rents. You are very lucky if you can get to 1% yields…

He is rich because he provides you with stuff you want and are willing to pay for. Nobody forces you to buy from Amazon. It is not your money anymore if you gave it to him in excha…

The headline says there was a swatting, though.

"then there's this overall trend of stagnating wages for everyone except owners of capital." So people should better buy some capital! Also the lament about stagnating wages glosse…

I don't get what is so depressing from the article? Because the rich can afford it, and the poor can't? How do they imagine it should work instead?

The ideology is that differences in behavior are merely the result of oppression (via social norms) by the mythical patriarchy (which apparently isn't perpetrated by men, according…

"I feel safe in the assumption that it is “men unfairly push to women while they go off to have fun at work” in precisely zero of them." But you don't actually know the reasons? "y…

Um, no - women in the west have free choice of careers. Women in Saudi Arabia don't have free choice. Was your comment serious? Do you truly believe women in the west are so oppres…

So what is the feminist theory why men don't share equally? So feminists believe women should give away some of their privilege of time with their children, for the benefit of men?…

Really? Then why do governments feel they have to force men to take time off? Men in the relationship are typically seen as the "arm" of the patriarchy. It is true that in this cas…

I didn't have the same experience. I took a lot of time off and think/hope I bonded just fine. I feel I was privileged to be ale to afford it, or rather, I just decided to afford i…

I suppose the article doesn't mention the real reason: that it is the privilege of mothers to spend time with their children, because they invested and risked more to have them (or…
