Depends what kind of technological advancement and what scale. New graphics tech for games? Sure, a small team might do better at communicating and getting features out quicker. A new, bigger kind of particle collider for high energy physics experiments? You need a good team just for one of the many of kinds of magnets, another just for a particular kind of detector, and so on for thousands of components (and advancements in software for all of the above) which need to be pushed forwards.

(I know you basically said as much, just wanted to expand on it a bit)

Mmm, not sure, you might be underestimating our capacity for war. I think we can still do a few more over oil first. There will be wars over water and food though, no doubt about that.

Scientists do actually make attempts to investigate the contribution of the trends to specific events, it's called extreme event attribution, but it is a very young field and the error bars on everything are still huge. That said,

The American Meteorological Society stated in 2016 that "the science has now advanced to the point that we can detect the effects of climate change on some events with high confidence". [12]

But the quote from the article was strictly correct in saying "it's hard".

No, you're missing the point. We have conclusively "linked changes in climate to climate change" as your comment eloquently put it. That's not really up for debate. But weather systems are extremely complex and extreme events have always occurred. So you can't say that this one specific heatwave is caused only because of this trend.

When it comes to the urgency of doing something about it, that doesn't matter. It's absolutely sufficient to say "this type of event will occur increasingly often" to establish that it is an existential crisis. You don't have to be able to prove anything at all about this one very hot week in order to say that it is probably the single most important issue for us to tackle (along with the politics that prevent us from doing that).

But we don't have the science and statistics to generally link individual events to a trend in isolation, and we shouldn't misrepresent the science that way.

No, individual extreme events are not "changes in climate". It's easy to say that the rise in heatwaves is caused by climate change but it's much harder to prove that this specific individual heatwave would never have happened were it not for climate change.

That sentence perfectly states the difficulty though. The trend: easy to link. One individual event: not that easy.

Are y'all ok over there?

No, not really, with humidity and no aircon anything over the high 90s starts to get pretty unpleasant, especially when it goes on for days and doesn't cool down properly at night, so you can't cool your house down.

No questions, just keep up the good fight :)

Yeah, I get that, but when it dominates the media like that it's not surprising that it still has a big effect on how people feel

Well yes, but

Nationality

Idk man, even SPD and greens are going hard on the anti immigrant rhetoric and even linke isn't saying much against it, I understand it's not truly the whole population but when it's most of the political spectrum it really makes people feel unwelcome

Do we? My first guess was English but they could ofc as easily be American

Uh yeah its kinda hard to ignore the entire country fucking hates your guts lol, would make anyone want to leave

I get what you're saying but you couldn't have chosen a worse example... Like yeah absolutely fuck Churchill lol, he's a huge part of the reason why we're in this mess with Israel now

Police in Europe are less fucked up than in the US but generally still suffer from all the same sorts of problems, they're still pigs

Make room for those that will fight

Hahahaha

Bro wtf, thanks for doing the actual antisemitism that they accuse people of. The Israeli elite perpetrating this genocide are just Europeans who moved there in the early 20th century, they've got nothing to do with Jews from the bronze age except that they use them as a dumb excuse.

It's way more realistic since... They do in fact make the macbooks already...

Firstly, pasteurisation is most definitely a process.

Secondly, it's very unlikely you are buying milk which has only been pasteurised, it has very likely at least also been homogenised, after being mixed from various different sources in order to produce a mill standardised fat & milk solids. The vast majority of the time rather than just being blended, it has been centrifugally separated into fractions that are then recombined in order to create a standard product.

None of this is really bad, btw, but it is 100% processing.

Germany is the America of the EU, especially since Britain left
