I think it depends on your definition of “you”. In the case of the 2045 Initiative I linked above, I think even if you were able to “mind transfer into a hologram body” it wouldn’t involve closing your eyes and waking up in an artificial world. Rather, your collective knowledge/memories would duplicated and downloaded…
Not until at least 2020.
So, what are we doing as a species to prepare for the inevitable warming of our climate? No one is debating that it is getting warmer. Is the goal to reverse global warming? Would global cooling be better? Should we even be trying to maintain a stable climate knowing that this would be unnatural?
The whole “walking on the left” thing is ruined when a person stops a few stairs short of the top to “prepare to disembark”. Just what the hell are these people stopping for!? Are they afraid they will be eaten by the escalator monster!? Do they realize they just stopped EVERYONE behind them so they can mentally…
Thanks for doing the digging to figure out that it’s not a trend line after all.
I’ve bought a $20 breathalyzer that stays in my car. If I am anywhere close to the limit I take an Uber or wait it out. However, a lawyer friend pointed out that even if I’m below the limit, if I get into any accident and I blow ANYTHING, I will still be busted. It’s still better than my friends who drive when they…
I appreciate the honest discourse.
I get that. It’s just that, from my point of view, if we were able to completely correct our negative influence on the climate there would still be an underlying (natural) trend of global warming. It boggles my mind that we spend so much time trying to figure out why our ant hill is being drowned by a hose rather than…
It’s amazing how the natural processes just stopped.
My god, you are incorrigible. Are you still asserting the Little Ice Age didn’t happen? That there was no temperature decline from the 1300's to the 1700's, and reversal thereafter? Are you asserting that the Little Ice Age didn’t end from “natural causes” and instead ended due to the industrial revolution? You’d be…
Way to go guys.
Jeez...I’m so sorry. How can I make this egregious error up to you? I read through the list twice and didn’t see either of them. Sue me.
As was pointed out by ReverendLoki, I am clearly lacking reading comprehension today.
Wow, you guys sure solved a real whopper there. I stand corrected.
“Without the anchor a teas[p]oon a week” huh? Is that a scientific data point? Without human intervention the climate is static huh? And you say I’m the one spreading FUD.
Go back to the beginning. This convo actually always was about the Little Ice Age. You decided to enter the fray and change the subject. I never once denied global warming.
