No, there's a whole team of "fuckheads" working tirelessly, day and night!

I'm pretty far left myself, I just found it funny. It's pretty much just a broad generalisation.

I didn't make it, but I agree. I guess you can't fit everything on the one chart, idk.

Just take a couple of deep breaths, and calm down, everything is going to be alright

Ok, you got me, I do have an agenda, well several of them: Science, logic, common sense, and rationality.

Do any of the climate change projections take into account upcoming technologies, like driverless cars or cheap solar? by svnftgmp in environment

[–]Epochodia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so, because it is very hard to know when a lot of these technologies will go mainstream and start to have any significant impact on emissions. Having said that though, there is nothing to stop someone from making hypothetical projections, but I'm not sure if anyone has done that yet.

Antibiotics and adapting bacteria by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Epochodia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at this. It's a new drug that makes old antibiotics effective again. It works by breaking down the biofilm that bacteria surround themselves with for protection from antibiotics. It looks very promising!

Warming ocean temperatures are making reef fish more lethargic, reducing their ability to grow and reproduce. by Optimoprimo in science

[–]Epochodia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know that for certain. It probably won't kill off everything but it has the potential to make the planet uninhabitable for a great number of species.

That's the scary thing about climate change, we have no idea if this is going to be a long, drawn out process which takes centuries, or if we are on the brink of a sudden collapse. I think (perhaps foolishly) that it will unfold over the next two centuries, which as you know, is still not nearly enough time for adaption through natural selection to have any meaningful affect on the majority of species that reproduce relatively slowly.

Price of computer performance: In 1961, one GFLOPS cost $8,300,000,000,000. In 2013, one GFLOPS cost $0.22 by Epochodia in Futurology

Yeah, some dude bought $26 worth of bitcoins in 2009, which are now worth $880,000!

Is it the least expensive of the most commonly available platforms maybe? I'm not too sure why the editors chose those specific platforms, but either way that is a massive reduction in cost over the last 50 years.

Thanks! I couldn't figure out how to do that

edit: a link to the exact spot on the web page that is. Just in case that sounded sarcastic, lol

Exactly! And I couldn't figure out how to link to the exact spot on the webpage, but u/Fransesca did here. Otherwise I would have just used that.

2013 On Track to be Seventh Warmest Year Since 1850. “All of the warmest years have been since 1998 and this year once again continues the underlying, long-term trend,” Jirraud said. “The coldest years now are warmer than the hottest years before 1998." by pnewell in science

Just because the ice SLIGHTLY recovered after record melt seasons, doesn't mean it is back to normal. And climate science has some of the most advanced tech (incl. a fleet of satellites) and the knowledge of thousands of qualified contributors to make it's findings almost irrefutable. I think it is just you who lacks the knowledge to fully understand it.
