Replace ruling family with ruling class and this seems very fascist to me. Do as I say or else

There are civilizations that went extinguished because they rebelled once conquered, and again history is written by who wins, we will never know (luckily) what history would say if Hitler or Mussolini won (the Mussolini part is just a joke, he never really had any chance without the Nazis)

Except for Gengis Khan, he never lost

We should slowly invest and push for transition, but the current status quo is for early adopters and enthusiasts IMO

But that's about the local temperature of the year, it says nothing about the glaciers shrinking or expanding, also if glaciers are shrinking, wouldn't we lose some readings? I mean if the glacier this year is smaller than last year, means that we have lost at least one year readings (most likely much more than that), not to mention that it contradicts that ice gets deposited every year.

It is my understanding that glaciers expand and shrink seasonally every year, and lately the expansion (if any) is always smaller than the shrinking, but it is a trend that started more than 100y ago (basically since when we started keeping record) and has been accellerating, because of this how can you extrapolate when to start dating in reverse? If you never saw a the, let's call it inflationary phase, how do you know when it reversed? The error might be small... or not

Is there an error in my reasoning (or my assumptions)? Consider that I am not the only one having this doubts.

anyhow do you know the answer? Because I'd have a ton of questions, since the argument is complex and I don't like the hand-wavy argument "well he expert say so"

Experts, scientists, luminaries in their field were prescribing lobotomies to mentally ills and castrations to gay people less than 100 years ago, so yes please always listen to the experts, but keep doubting their answers

All climatologist on this thread, please raise your hand

Can you elaborate a bit?

I know that some icers on the Alps have been shrinking since the last 120 years (more or less since we started measuring them) a bit too early IMO for humans to be the cause, yet the melting has significantly accelerated in the last 30-40 years (which is likely to be correlated to human activities)

Yes and stop selling bullshit electric vehicles, there is already the solution: public transport

Electric vehicles are another boost to the super rich car industry

That's wishful thinking, in world history there's always been who is on top, and in general the conditions of people are far better than in the past, thanks to (or despite of) capitalism

Wealth redistribution is sign of a mature society as well as punishing who abuses societal rules for private gains

Some societies are, in many ways, more mature than others, and western society aren't much better that eastern ones, despite what we like to think, they just value different things, including status symbols, and being better off than the average, when this is left unchecked... It causes problems, to the point where it is not possible any more to control it

And here we are
