That is simply false

Yes, that’s true. Sometimes however better tech is “computerized”.

No it doesn’t. For example, we are poised to move from electronics to spintronics. Should save us a ton of energy. Couldn’t have done it without electronics though. We will happily toss the ladder we climbed on.

Already explained this. China’s rise, bigger homes, more cars. Post hoc ergo propter hoc is not an argument.

And it is technology that allows this improvement. Romanticize the 1800s all you want, it will do nothing for you. Better tech + less capitalism = cleaner world.

The biggest source of CO2 emissions are neither the electronic factories nor the datacenters. They are electricity generation and transportation, plus deforestation and heating/cooling. It is those that solar and wind power and EVs are trying to address, and where progress is happening.

The particular article states facts about heat, and correctly identifies the human greenhouse gas emissions as the cause. That’s the way it is. You don’t like that reality and want it sugarcoated? Tough. If scientists softened the message, people would take that as an excuse to do nothing

Idk where you get all of that about the Amish, native Americans, bagasse etc. Who hurt you? Sounds like either that or you are grasping at edge cases.

You are saying what you think an article says the scientists are saying. You are reporting on a journalist’s report of a scientific report. Speak to scientists or read their journals. Don’t take the journalists take. They have their own agenda.

Humans means all humans. But of course Elon Musk and an infant in Cameroon are vastly different in their contributions to the problem.

All progress is taken into account. Also, how would I know what you have been seeing? Do you attend any of the top conferences? Read the IPCC reports? And yes, we have a ways to go and need to pressure, we cannot rest on the progress made.

And, it is a problem everyone is having. Plus nobody hates scientists; they hate the caricature created by liars and cheats (whose narrative you seem to have bought lock stock and barrel). Have you ever spoken to a real life scientist or researcher?

Scientists never blamed people for the issue. This is just an excuse, people who hate the message blaming the messenger. If a doctor tells you “you have cancer” you’d be a fool to focus on “he was so rude about it”.

Idk who you have been talking to, but I bet they were not scientists. Unfortunately what one chooses to believe is irrelevant. Physics does not negotiate or discern on motivations.

Thank you for this exchange of views . We don’t disagree on everything. If I may be so bold, I would advise you to learn more about the science so as to be better able to discern quantitative issues. Qualitatively it looks to me like you do understand.

We can stop anthropogenic climate change. The natural one is so slow we have plenty of time to adapt to it.
So the best use if our time is to act to stop what we do wrong. The rest can wait.

Yes, agree with all of that.

Oh I do remember them, my FIL is one. Most of them are loonies, my FIL certainly is. Some prepping is OK. Spending your life savings to buy dried stroganoff and stockpile gums & ammo is not.

Because there is no guarantee anything we do now will help at all. Government action is out best bet.

Natural processes have very little to do with that shit; but yes we may have to do something. It will cost a lot of lives and will be a huge collective failure, but it may be inevitable.

Best way to do that is via collective action by mobilizing the government which is the tool we developed to effect our collective will. The fact that it is not doing so is a measure of how it has been suborned by others; so we need to reclaim it, then have it do what we want.

And no solutions can work well at the level you speak of.

No one denied the natural processes; in fact they are all meticulously accounted for, including the bounds on those whose effects we are unsure about, like clouds. Which means their role is accounted for as well, with confidence intervals for uncertainties.

Let me ask you this: if the vast majority of the experts, across the entire world, agree to both the mechanism and the magnitude of the problem, what evidence would you require to accept their conclusions?
