@tylerpalmer@jgebbia Remember when Trump’s team killed a free tax filing service that was fully built? Or wiped the 18F team responsible for open sourcing tools for American citizens? Or when Doge gutted public programs from NASA to NOAA to FEMA? The MAGA crowd has a minuscule context window.
@LinkofSunshine So, this is an op. He clearly didn’t say that in his remarks, and while Trump will absolutely tamper with elections his team is currently flooding the zone with fake stories to overwhelm and conceal illegal actions. Be discerning, and keep the pressure on reality.
A last point before I tire of you, for the sake of the unfortunate audience that sees your slop. Scientists have been warning that the intensity of storms in the Atlantic will increase impacts to coastal communities, not that the number of storms will go up. So your entire argument is moot, shows you’re not engaging with the actual science, and instead setting fire to straw men to impress your bot followers. Get a different hobby.
@mikeyma55258448@DC_Draino One below the average isn’t statistically relevant. 3 Cat 5 storms, the highest number in a single season. And the world saw 101 storms vs 88 on average. Maybe leave the analysis up to the research departments.
Centuries of deforestation offset? No. You’re confusing greening with restoration. CO₂ has increased global leaf area and carbon uptake, but terrestrial ecosystems still hold roughly 24% less carbon than their potential stocks because of human land use — a ~344 billion-tonne carbon deficit. More leaves ≠ centuries of deforestation erased.
@DavidPinsof Plenty of people are taking it seriously. They are surprised at how large the tech-literate but risk-blind crowd is, and are getting increasingly worried that existential scenarios will come to pass because of accelerations fervor.
@latimeralder They are a carefully selected group of some of the best scientific minds alive, and represent decades of research into Earth system dynamics. You represent the reason why species don’t make it through the great filter.
