There are certainly times, like when I'm reading PHM posts, where I feel nothing of value would be lost. But I still think that most people, in an environment where they're not conditioned to be assholes and not forced into violent competition, are basically good. -

sun position...solar emissions...atmospheric gas content...who the hell knows
hell, they dont even know what causes el nino/la ninja and theyre some of the most prevalent factors on short-term (relatively speaking) weather patters in this hemisphere.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Yeah, that's a nice opinion but scientific consensus is broadly against you there. If calling accepting the position best supported by evidence "hubris" makes you feel better then uhh, have fun being wrong I guess. -

Producing usable energy (“exergy”) to keep powering “both basic and non-basic human activities” in industrial civilisation “will require more, not less, effort.”
interesting, but seems to be quite a leap from there to 'capitalism is over' -

If we assume the claims about the environmental impacts of industrial production are true then it seem almost obvious that a capitalistic mode of production is unable to prevent ecological catastrophe. The "invisible hand of the market" is, definitionally, unable to correct for externalities. So either the industrial capitalistic mode of production will be eliminated or human projects generally will, either way the future looks bleak for capitalism.

It's kind of the same as with all the GMO studies, the people commissioning these studies have a conflict of interest. -

soy is a fag food. literally. it has been proven that it contains phytoactive substances that act on the human physiology inciting a hormonal response similar to female hormones

you spelled 'fact' wrong
scientific consensus at the hands of scientists who find whatever results the individuals financing their works want them to find.
this has repeatedly been proven and immediately hushed by the media -

That becomes a pretty useless argument once you take into account the point that just about every scientist in the western world knows very well that his grant application is like 10 times more likely to be approved if his description mentions that his study is associated to proving the effects of man made global warming and then on the flip is 100 times more likely to be turned down if it says the opposite. A lot of scientists have admitted to this fact.

How much difference could we possibly make?

the entire 'renewable energy' production & research industry is reliant on government grants, and there's a revolving door between researchers, lobbyists and policymakers - are you really going to argue there's no possibility of corruption? -

There's corruption like there is in pretty much every business, especially ones with grants subsidies and lobbyists and then there's a whole global industry the world over colluding with science, history and common sense itself to enrich their pockets with shekels. Corruption in an industry doesn't negate it's value, just the methods used to reach the means.

when the goings get tougher, they are going to congregate, consolidate and become even bigger conglomerate. not even bolshevicks could wash it off. -
