just noticed that comment was over a year old...

I was following something else more recent in the comment stream. ./

So it seems like the big question is, assuming humans could reduce CO₂ and other green house gas emissions to (a) zero tomorrow, what happens to the climate/atmosphere over the next century? What is the effect if we reduce them to (b) 50% current output? What is the effect at (c) 85% output?

Assuming (a), are we already past a point at which extreme weather, sea level rise, etc. will disrupt human activity for at least 20 years? Would that be the case assuming (b) or (c)? The question we really need an answer to is how do we optimize, over time, the economically relevant weather extremities against energy generation and consumption.

Also: "Global warming is the current rise in the average temperature....

My natural instinct is to suggest that you don't let crazy or trivial ideas or people rent space in your brain. On the other hand, everyone needs to have exactly this issue in their mind when making everyday decisions.

I know that talking to ideologues like you doesn't do anything, because ideologies are just like secularised religions, but if i don't vent my frustration, I'd only carry it around.>> ^quantumushroom:

He's referring to "manmade" global warming, which is socialist BS theory.

I didn't really warm to this one, but since it was because it was death metal and that's not always a genre I like, you might like it more than I did:

I have added a dm embed as a backup, would you mind checking if that works for you?

Joseph Beuys: "Wie man dem toten Hasen die Bilder erklärt."

Beuys hat zum „Hasen" folgendes gesagt: „Der Hase hat direkt eine Beziehung zur Geburt. Eine Beziehung in die Erde. Nach unten. Für mich ist der Hase ein Symbol für die Inkarnation. Der Hase macht das ganz real, was der Mensch nur in Gedanken kann. Er gräbt sich ein, er gräbt sich einen Bau. Er inkarniert sich in die Erde. Und das allein ist wichtig. So kommt er bei mir vor."

Allgemein zur Kunst hat Beuys u.a. folgendes gesagt:
"In der Kunst ist absolut nichts zu verstehen, einfach nichts. (...) Wenn Kunst irgendetwas enthielte, was verstanden werden sollte, dann wäre sie überflüssig. Denn diese Aufgabe wird schon von der Wissenschaft wahrgenommen. Im Gebiet der Kunst sollen nur geheimnisvolle Bilder geschaffen werden ..."

Joseph Beuys (1921 - 1986) deutscher Aktionskünstler, Bildhauer, Zeichner, Kunsttheoretiker und Pädagoge.

Beuys setzte sich in seinem umfangreichen Werk mit Fragen des Humanismus, der Sozialphilosophie und Anthroposophie auseinander. Dies führte zu seiner spezifischen Definition eines „erweiterten Kunstbegriffs" und zur Konzeption der „Sozialen Plastik" als Gesamtkunstwerk, in dem er Ende der 1970er Jahre ein kreatives Mitgestalten an der Gesellschaft und in der Politik forderte. Er gilt bis heute weltweit als einer der bedeutendsten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Call someone a Nazi--then act surprised that people are offended.

"Oh, I'm the victim here. There's so much bias against little me."

Now everybody's friends again? FUCK THAT SHIT!
