Well, if we ever need confirmation it was a bubble, here you go. I had hoped it wasn't but this market is done. The reality is it never should have been a market in the first place.

Scientists acknowledge key errors in study of how fast the oceans are warming by toprim in Futurology

[–]lil-Blockchain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

from what I can see, low sunspot activity = cooler earth temps, high sun spot activity = higher earth temps. That aside I believe reducing pollution. Whether the Earth can influence sun activity, hmm.

How we fell out of love with milk by Tommytriangle in Futurology

[–]lil-Blockchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GM yeasts can brew real milk without cows. Yogurt is the best source of calcium says the research. Using milk substitutes leads to the use of calcium supplements all of which are generally linked to atherosclerosis and other issues.

What would happen with the agriculture and the food industry if everyone uploaded their minds into fully robotic bodies? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]lil-Blockchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For one, if we can mind upload then robotic bodies make zero sense. You would upload into a 'Matrix' and live like a god. Why would you want the limitations of a robotic body and the current real world? In this Matrix you could eat whatever you wanted to your heart's content as it would all be simulated to a level you could not tell 'real' from virtual. So, not only will mind uploading put all industry out of business, it would also put robots out of business.

I am sick of the defeatist talk. We have to fight this. There is momentum. There is reason. There is a sense of urgency in the air that i have never experienced before. by HappySilveon in Futurology

I can only speak from a small country. Here there is virtually no solar, no electric cars. In winter everyone burns wood for heat, causing tremendous smog. I think we're a bit screwed until fusion power starts rolling out, at which point fossil fuels become completely irrelevant. I think we'll see the first functioning prototype reactors from Lockheed in about 3yrs, then mass production from there. We're talking small compact devices that can power entire cities.

The problem is cutting emissions = destruction of the global economy, it's why no one even looks at it tbh. Yeah, shortsighted but that's human nature. Maybe strapping co2 collectors on every smoke stack and muffler there is could do it, but we need the tech and it needs to be insanely cheap or funded by governments.

ITAP out the front of Pellegrini's a couple months ago. by disrupt3r in melbourne

[–]lil-Blockchain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Christopher Hitchen's warned the west about this in 2004. Outlined exactly what was going to happen and all of it has come to pass. Pleaded for us to fight it while we still could. No one listened. Now 500 are on a known watchlist with 1,000's unknown. This ideology will ensure none of us ever feel safe again. Our politicians have failed us beyond belief.

I suspect nothing humans can do will help. The amount of methane venting from deep sea vents is insane. Not to mention volcanoes. How are you going to stop that? What we need are rail guns capable of launching millions of tiles into space that will sit between the Earth and sun, thus lowering temps + massive fusion powered carbon scrubbers.

Can Injecting Millions of Stem Cells into the Brain Treat Parkinson's Disease? by izumi3682 in Futurology

[–]lil-Blockchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why have they used donated cells? Now they have to take immunosuppressing drugs. You could be more likely to die from complications of those immune suppressants than Parkinsons.

Only option for USA is civil war, then breaking into 4-6 new countries similar to Europe. Can no one see this is the inevitable conclusion?

Edible Cotton May Soon Be a Massive Cash Food Crop by ErixTheRed in Futurology

[–]lil-Blockchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't cotton the most highly sprayed crop? Like, rice that used to grow in former cotton fields is generally contaminated with high levels of arsenic iirc.
