also funding "reduce your carbon footprint" advocacy or companies so they dont reduce thier emissions, plus funding the "eco-protestors that deface public property to get the public to turn on them as well.

Being rich should be classified as a mental illness

Or a crime against humanity.

They're looking to burn the planet down and kill off the population.

It’s like they haven’t read part 2 of Atlas Shrugged

They think AI is going to replace the people beneath them

The second they start building the cloud cities we just got to start murdering all of them I tell you. Got to do it. Can't let them build Elysium.

The fact that they think that kinda outs them as abject idiots.

I mean yeah they’re management.

I don't think it's crazy to think that a fair bit of work, like driving, weeding, harvesting vegetables, and the likes can be replaced by automation today when it couldn't a decade ago.

They did read it, why do you think Lonnie is working so hard on the AI and robots?

AFAIK his robots still need humans to remotely pilot them.

And I’m not confident Mr. “Full Self Driving Next Year” can pull it off

"if the brain discards unused neurons, why [should] society keep their equivalent"

A shitty argument by shitty people. The appeal to nature would probably be less of a problem if we didn't abandon nature by creating society.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
