My problem with anti-doomists is that they do not value dissemination of the truth. I don’t doubt they believe the lie that emissions have flattened, but I don’t think they know why they believe that.
The purpose of regulation is to make all the wrongdoers the same. The purpose of my idea that, checks notes, no one but me shares is to flatten the keeling curve. So forgiiiive me if I'm uncooperative. And that idea is, wait for it, to existentially delicense an oil major.

Rather than rugged individualism, I'd call it metaphysical individualism, in that it is not reality based. Similarly, supply "demand" metaphysics is neolibertarian ideology. That Reagan played cowboys in movies, and wanted to be a hero in real life, should not invalidate thinking for ourselves.

Sometimes the consensus is correct, as with pronunciation. Other times it is not. The consensus is that renewables have/are/will work. No, renewables have done jack. Sometimes self consistency is not correct, as with others understanding you. Existentially delicense an oil major.

How to be a contrarian?
Renewables are bad; they don't dent the keeling curve.
CCS research is bad; it doesn't dent the keeling curve.
Growth is bad; it doesn't dent the keeling curve.
Degrowth is bad; it doesn't dent the keeling curve.
Dezoning is bad; it doesn't dent the keeling curve.

This is my universe too. Climate change is so important that it is wrong for climate scientists to insult ideas new to them. To be clear, this climate scientist is not unusual. They all react badly to reminders of the keeling curve. They treat the keeling curve as irrelevant to their work.
“My insistence on doing nothing about climate change?” lol, piss off, you clown.

If you don't understand the reason the footprint calculators failed, then don't stop pushing them. They did not fail because they made you feel guilty. They failed because your brother burns more by at least as much as you burn less. The guilt was constructive, if misdirected.

Jenk debated Hasan on housing, and at one point Jenk said "if we mean northern europe, then I kind of do love socialism" and "naturalizing your oil reserves is a super interesting idea". Loving northern europe is extractivist. Calling them reserves is climate denial. Socialism and oil don't mix.

Dunno about production, but programming by yourself is micro-mini-small-changes. If you every change too much, it is just wishful thinking, no judgement. But to get it to work, break it up into a whole lot of steps.

Making things is fine well and good. The solution to AI slop differs from the solution to AI energy use only in a proper name. In every case, you have to dissolve a corporate collective, AmazonSpies or KochtapusIndustries.

I guess one hazard of having a single issue that solves so many other issues is impatience with those that have less magnificent single issues. Existentially delicense an oil major, and it is a figuratively new world. Add protected bike lanes, and cars still exist. Build renewables, and so on.

This is typical of YIMBYs. They claim people that disagree with them are NIMBYs. It is YIMBYs vs the world to them. And they can only argue with the dumness epithet, because that is all they have. They have no actual arguments against the myriad reasons to not build in certain places.
And if you really think no one actually holds that position, let me introduce you to the dumbest self proclaimed left NIMBY on this entire site: bsky.app/profile/indi...
Prohibit high rents in lots of zones. Increase taxes in high rent zones. Use the tax revenue in the low rent zones.

Five: Unless it is a very good study, it is notrivial to determine if it is bad. A bad study, such as the Dunning Kruger study, might pass as less than bad for a long time until it debunked by a study good enough for the public to understand.
Four: Reading 50,000 studies won't matter if the studies themselves are bad, biased, or even fake. Those studies often end up published too, in bad journals and even sometimes in good ones.
I need people who are profiling RFK Jr to not recite, uncritically, the number of studies the man says he has read.
One he lies
Two even if he has read them doesn't mean he understands them
Three it's more useful to take one and explain its problems.

This is the latest climate scientist fad, now that footprint and doomism have run their course. They invariably come down on the wrong side of every fad. Climate change is 100% a product of the economic hierarchy. Policy has no effect. It is only by revolutionizing the economy that we can survive.
Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.
Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference.
Or both.
Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference.

Yup, cutting down trees is some kind of terrorism. The costume is a protest, like the anti-ICE costumes.

I hope it is clear that me calling fossil fuel and renewables equally infinite is to illustrate the absurdity of calling anything infinite? Only god is infinite, so nothing is. The limit to fossil fuel is when workers cannot bear the heat to work the rigs. The limit to renewables is workers.

The 12-month running mean global temperature anomaly continues to fall from its peak (temporary), which is mostly in response to cooler conditions over the equatorial Pacific Ocean during the last year (weak La Niña state).
