See the thread below: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=unpopular42#37543571 And just to be clear, climate regulations are not the same as pollution laws

The article wants to convince you in something and naturally the visuals are adjusted to help that goal. Have a look at the raw data if you like. So far, as much as I can see, the …

Imagine regulatory asphyxiation disappears. Imagine energy tech gets its own Moore's law. Imagine cheap abundant energy, say 10 orders of magnitude from now in a few decades. Heati…

Because the current climate spending is extremely inefficient and stupid. For example, if we put all this effort into making more energy, e.g. making nuclear actually work, we coul…

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. It's not like you have more than one

Did we also panic in 2014 that was above average by a similar margin? I just can't remember

Note: 'can kill' >= 'has killed', you have only shown the latter.

Enforcement isn't lacking, it's just done counter-productively. About 20% of US prison population is already for drug offences, and of course it doesn't help anything. There is abs…

> The leading causes Did you just make my point? Drugs are already very regulated. > Maybe there is a need for regulation? Probably not.

You are presenting it like "certification" is some kind of guarantee. The reality is that it isn't. Industrial accidents happen all the time and it remains to be proven that certif…
