Apologism for companies selling things they know are broken. Cool.

No problem. I know there is a lot of alarmist misinformation out there, but please don’t confuse this with the actual science. The media and scientific journals are two completely different things. Hopefully you have seen that the scientific claims are all well founded.

Yep so again you’re largely just corroborating what I just said. The alarmism is ill founded, but nobody doubts that sea levels are indeed steadily increasing and that this will cause problems for human populations.

This is actually hilarious.

I have a math masters as it happens. Not that it’s necessary for this, this is just basic graph reading. If the line goes up, the thing is rising. If it goes up and also gets steeper and steeper, then the rate of the rise is also rising. That’s what’s happening with sea level. Your claim that the rate of rise is too…

Okay so you’re asking me to repeat myself yet again:

“Statement to the contrary”? Where did you read that, then?

Yeah, that was my first thought too. Pixar’s backdrops actually aim for a photorealistic style, not a cartoony one. That’s TF2’s thing.

I literally just showed you the god damn data contradicting this. Do you lack the basic mathematical ability to understand that an upward sloping curve means an increasing rate? Or do you have amnesia? I... I seriously don’t get it, do you have an actual problem? Fuck...

You don’t even have an argument. Everything you’ve said I’ve showed to be completely wrong. Why are you still here? “It wouldn’t look like that” is not an argument. “It would be steeper” — why?? You just pulled that claim out of thin air. You made no attempt to justify it quantitatively. You do know that you’re just…

CO2 levels start increasing and sea levels start increasing with them.

Particularly irritating in this case as that entire side of the moon is illuminated. It’s the other side that’s dark... it couldn’t be more wrong!

Reminds me a lot of Quentin Blake. Which is awesome, because Mad Max could totally work as a Roald Dahl novel.

I don’t understand what you think those graphs show. Your first graph illustrates that we came out of an ice age ten thousand years ago or so, so sea levels rose pretty fast over that period. But since then, over at least the last 6,000 years, sea levels have basically flat lined — I make it roughly 2m in 6,000 years,…

Soooo... where is the correlation with CO2? More CO2 should be constant rise in temps.

There was no global warming between 1944 and 1964, mkayyyy? There was no global warming between 1963 and 1976, mkayyyyyy? Look at the original graph to see how dumb you’re being. There are several long periods of time in the last century where the global temperature fell. That’s because it’s not a perfect trend, it’s…

I think the purpose of this podcast is to cover alarming or intriguing stuff with absolutely reason to ever happen. That way they can write clickbaity headlines such as “Meanwhile in the future the Earth is falling into the Sun”, but when they’re called out on it they can just say, “meanwhile in the future’s just the…

What an original comment!

The same data? Are you joking? Do you honestly not know how to read an axis? The original data was poor because it was only from 1980 but the warming trend occurs on a timescale of decades. This is even worse, it’s from 1996. Go get the full data range which you intentionally ignored, put a trend line on that, and…

Proper statistical methodology produces objective and unbiased results.
