That’s true if it’s closer to 2095. If it’s closer to 2025, there’s fuck all we can do to stop it, and so we need to do what’s best to survive it, which is not the same as what’s best to prevent it.

It’s kind of important whether it’s 2095 (prepare for it, set up nuclear, reduce carbon emissions) or 2025 (fuck global warming, we need fuel and we need it now, the more carbon emitted the better).
Actions that work in the possible world in which it collapses soon are actively harmful in possible worlds in which it doesn’t. Acting as if a threat will happen only makes sense if the action isn’t significantly harmful in cases where it doesn’t, where significantly is based on the harm of not being prepared and the chance of it happening.
If the Gulf Stream will collapse by 2025, the response isn’t to be more eco-friendly. In fact, it’s the opposite. Everyone in the north should prepare to burn a lot more fuel, and concern for global warming would definitely be reduced. Global warming is something you can only afford to give a shit about when temperatures haven’t just dropped by 3.5C and you haven’t just lost 78% of your arable land (UK figures, because that’s where I live).
Two zs, otherwise it’d be the past tense of speze.
I don’t mean my bootloader though. The UEFI menu can’t be accessed using the standard method of pressing a key.
Fucking up my UEFI on my laptop, making it difficult to boot into Linux.
Undoing that.
That’s definitely what it should mean. -oid means resembling or pertaining to, it’s not a diminutive.
It’s currently deemed a flawed democracy. That is, primarily democratic, but with some authoritarian or illiberal features.
Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t have everyone over from Reddit.
I’d like to be that variety of pirate, at least in the older style. Not so much a modern nautical pirate though.
Someone kept doing that to my subreddit, and did not get banned. I think he might still be at it, but I’m not sure.
Now I’m not morally against piracy, pirate away. It’s just illegal.
It’s like people are forgetting that piracy is actually illegal.
Given that the Lemmy boom is precisely because of Reddit, it won’t stop for a good while. Maybe some point next year.
You are. People would be very worried. It’s just that their worry would not be expressed in attempts to improve things in the long-term when there’s a short-term disaster.
If the Gulf Stream will definitely collapse in 2025 (which is not what the study says), then that’s too soon to do anything about, so the priority is surviving it rather than preventing it. Fundamentally, things that help prevent disaster are not the same as things that help survive it.
