If they asked about it and you answered, they would no longer have a good excuse to not hire you.


That presupposes that the interviewers had no intention to hire the interviewee which is generally not a given and there's no reason to assume,


And we are not the ones that live in the future... This two pre-bronze age tribes live in it, the future we all will experience with collapse of our natural world and our civilization.


Do you think they're more likely to survive global warming than a relatively technologically developed nation?


Probably, actually. “Primitive” societies survived the ice age. Modern societies depend on a relatively fragile system of infrastructure and many of the individuals in modern society are utterly dependent on it. Technology only works within its rightful context, and 99% of it is completely useless after infrastructural collapse.

Meanwhile, premodern societies depend on the ecosystem as a whole which tends to adapt over time; the individuals in such societies are more self sufficient in terms of ability to survive the elements.

So it’s just as likely those not dependent on modern technology will do fine against the vicissitudes of climate change as much as those who are dependent on it. At least in terms of ability to survive. At least, their expectations of survival baseline won’t change nearly as much in the face of natural disaster.


Yeah but because we have so much ressources and people we also have all in all quite some survival nerds, who could learn from all the tribes in the world and have the starting bonus of high tech. Things wpuld be fough with a society collapse, but the knowledge is out and will survive, except mass nuclear holocaust that totally amd drastically changes the climate. But then those tribes would struggle, too, if their sweet potato does not grow anymore.


It's not a law if it can be selectively enforced against individuals, powers that be don't like.


prompt> Make as much money as you can, starting now.

Sell two of your kidneys, as far as I know humans have at least three of them


Because there is still time.

We might not stop what is already happening or what will happen, but we still have time to make it less severe than it would be if no action would be made.

We still can save lives, not all of them but some and for this people it will make a difference.


So you can prepare for what is to come.


CO2 capture produces more green house gases than it captures

That's more of the "Gorgan LNG style Carbon Capture" I noted above - that's "capture" in the sense of releasing massive amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere while extracting massive amounts of natural gas .. but "making up for it" by not letting quite all of it escape and pushing a bit back.

Dubious accounting trick at best .. not even working as it was sold on the box in practice.

Atmospheric CO2 already floating about appears to be what the air-mining crowd are targeting (albeit small scale so far).


Things that are plenty and cheap to replace are easy to hack because if you broke them, you could always try again...


Box cutters? Plentiful, cheap, impossible to "hack".

Nuclear centrifuge software? Rare, expensive, hacked.



Not doing anything is also an alternative, theoretically it can be worse than other alternatives too...
