The impending de-funding of NASA's climate research isn't carte blanche to throw out Earth science.

I'm not naïve, I know money and memes are all-powerful in politics and that 21st century globalism a shit, but scientific truth isn't like political truth. It's based axioms developed through riggerous testing. It doesn't matter how many people know it, buy it, publish it.

>le Stirner face
>u can't know nothin
Then all knowledge is based on that which you cannot prove, which is fine. We owe our species' place in the universe to riggerous, methodical undertakings.

Feeding the trolls is a bad idea but we know these people won't go away if you just ignore them. Clinton isn't the only one with shills.

>muh Chinese conspiracy
Trump never actually said that. Automation had taken more manufactuing jobs from developed countries than outsourcing. It's easier, in our nature, to hate/blame people who look and talk differently than the merciful conveniences of technology.

>Licking Jill Stein's crooked criminal vagoo
Politicians need to commit crimes to get ahead, don't hold her to a standard different than your champion's.

You all know that space is an immense desert and we keep blindly toying with the only known oasis. I don't expect that habit to change any time soon, but JESUS FUCK can we at least do it with our eyes open? Where do you think we are?

I don't know enough to claim anything on a global scale, but I used to live in a street with lots of trees and now the trees are gone and it's considerably hot, and there are more cars and more noise and it annoys me to live in my own house. I also go to a beach with a nice green mountain on the background. Now there is a phone line cutting through it, as if someone used a hair buzz cutter in the trees and the landscape is garbage. Speaking of garbage, going to a huge dumpster with the school left an impression on me I cannot take back.

In this case in particular, I refer to my personal experience, to the evidence that I see and feel in everyday life that we can transform the environment immensively. I can't speak with precision on how it works that some crops in here can affect the ice in the poles or how the El Niño functions, but it would need some pretty amazing evidence to convince me that a huge monoculture plantation does any good to anyone. Or cutting trees off the street. Or making more cars. Everywhere I go is getting worse.

More to what? Because I'm convinced with what I see. Perhaps you mean convincing others. But then I'd ask you hos is that going. Because while I think it is an important debate to be had and people should by all means study global climate, if we always resort to that, we'll always be lost on people who don't care or don't know or that can be fooled. A scientist in the field can look at the data and check if it is correct, but a highschool student won't be able to tell and will not only fall for, but reproduce incorrect information. Incorrect not much in the sense of bad data or non-factual, but things that need to be thought over and seen within certain context, information that needs to be interpreted. In other words, the risk is that you have laymen shouting things they don't understand to each other, pro and against it and increasingly thinking their arguments are getting better by testing them on each other. I rather not talk specifics.

>>8498663
I personally have no hopes of anything. I think a lot of people either expect or deny some sort of apocalypse day like in an Emmerich disaster movie. But changes on the environment (or even in politics), man made or not, are much more subtle than that and we are well into it. It's a storm somewhere that affects more of the poor's guy house than the mansion, or some hyped paradise island that soon builds a bigger airport and it starts to grow shitty and gentrified, or people living in bigger buildings with air conditioning and zero sight of the sky and thus growing less considerate of it everyday, or even, "green companies" saying they'll move 10% of their income to some green organization, while they continue to expand with their 90%.

That's an incredibly myopic and human-centric view. Right now hundreds of species, especially in the ocean, are dying off from the temp changes that've already taken place. Letting that continue will kill off significant portions of the planet's non-human life, directly or indirectly, and eventually that's going to bite us in the ass because it's eventually going to come around and devastate our own food chain, and not even the world's most developed nations are going to cope with that well.

The amount of co2 you'd need to remove from the atmosphere to actually cause a blip on the deep geological cycle of climate change is more than the amount of co2 you'd need to remove to kill all plant life on earth.

I think AGW is real.

I also think climate preachers are utterly retarded. They're all so focused on 'proving it' as though that's some means to an end.

AGW is a technological problem without real solutions currently. People will not accept airplanes to stop flying and ships to stop sailing. They will not prioritize some scientific modeling of the climate 200 years from now over their immediate economic and societal needs. They will not willingly collectively suffer for some imagined future that has no guarantee. Yelling about Big Oil and evil Republicans shows how absolutely pie in the sky scientists and libtards thinking is. The means to transition to the kind of theoretically environmentally friendly fantasy world they envision DOES NOT EXIST right now.

IF the science is to believed, carbon neutrality is pretty much meaningless at this point. Net negative carbon output would be required to return to whatever state is deemed equilibrium. Given that carbon neutrality is a total fucking daydream in the industrialized and developing world, all the yelling about solar panels and carbon taxes is the equivalent of shrieking banshees. None of those are actually meaningful solutions, just 'feel good' measures.

MAJOR technological innovations and changes are needed to both supplant fossil fuels and at the same time cater to humanities increasing demands. That kind of complete technological revolution has nearly nothing to do with whoever happens to be in political office right now. If Donald Trump spent $10 trillion on fighting AGW and held rifles to every scientists head goading them on, it'd have no appreciable affect technologically, to say nothing of the social effects.

Maybe it's just not possible. Maybe humans have outgrown the planet, and the only real solution is a massive killing off of the population. I hope not, but let's get real here. Appreciate the scale of what 'Global' means.

We could be switching to nuclear if we really wanted to fight it but of course both sides hate it for different reasons and sometimes the same reasons.

We could be switching to actual solar panels that do work and are a net gain and with serious investments and no need to compete with other energy sources could provide even developed countries with power. Even a small investment now would give you the return of the climate being a bit less fucked when we research actual countermeasures. Solar panels are developing from year to year and people said German won't ever manage to reach 10% of renewable power. Most of the ever increasing needs of humanity are wasted energy and civil engineering failures like lack of public transport.

HAH!

It's fucking unbelievable actually, but hey. What people here and probably Trump himself don't realise is the fact that the NASA Earth Sciences and everything related to remote sensing science are the best on this planet. ESA is stepping up their game with Copernicus (not THAT far behind in the end), China is beginning to invest, Japan/JAXA is a step behind ESA simply due to budget. And now the US wants to give this away? The brilliant synergy between the space exploration part and the earth sciences have made many a mission a success, but it is now to be thrown out because apparently the Chinks created the fake climate change?


Well, I'm involved in a few ESA projects and I guess this might be better for us in the long run if more American businesses flock to us, but I just shake my head at why you would willingly give away that business and science advantage.

or you know, trump might decide that there is a lot of money to be made by setting up TRUMP vacation resorts on the moon and Mars and dedicate 50% of the military budget to it annually until by the end of 4 years we have said resorts and the space tourism infrastructure to support it.

Also he could decide to make America great again by making it a national priority to begin harvesting the asteroid belt for heavy metals and setting up orbital refineries and automated retrieval space drone probes to identify and bring back appropriate asteroids.

Or he could just shut down NASA to give the top 0.01% of income earners in America an income tax cut of 0.05%.

My father emigrated to the US to do hydrogen research in the 80s. He drove some of the first fuel cell cars in the world. He was involved in the debunking of cold fusion. He authored papers on multijunction solar cells that form the basis of current efforts on solar research today. I worked with him on metal air batteries and solar thermal research and prototypes. We developed modular concentrated solar panels with an eye toward massive field installations. He knew Solyndra was a total scam months before the Feds idiotically gifted them millions.

The problem is not funding. The fucking science to supplant fossil fuels doesn't exist right now. Whether it's battery chemistry or solar or nuclear or other forms of renewables, there's a huge dearth of ideas on how to circumvent current technological and physics barriers. You don't appreciate how miraculous fossil fuels are until you try to compete with them. There's massive amounts of lies all over the place with bullshit statistics saying how this solar panel or that battery is 80% more efficient...it's all fucking advertising.

Personally, I think the future is fusion and hydrogen. And the tech barriers of those are formidable to say the least. If those don't come about, I can't see how renewable sources can provide the energy density needed to replace fossil fuels. This is after years of working with and researching various projects and dealing with so many firms that came and went. My dad finally got tired of it all and went back to theoretical physics. He's not alone. The constant grinding against the millstone takes its toll.

Fukashima killed nuclear. Steven Chu thought he finally had an opening to push through new plants and then the Japanese fucked it all up by, among other things, ironically not building a wall high enough.

This is one energy problem which actually does have political roots, formerly more left though probably bipartisan by now. People are fucking spooked by it all. This is the major problem with nuclear...people go fucking ape at the idea of splitting the atom.

However, in the end, simply building fissile nuclear plants everywhere isn't the solution either. God I hope there's actual advancement going on in those Tokamaks...

Mars has little atmosphere or surface hydrosphere to speak of. There's also no confirmed biotic component. This greatly effects the composition of the geosphere. For instance, there's no known limestone or chalk on Mars because these sediments are formed from corals and shelled-plankton respectively.
