There is a problem of lag. By the time temperatures are high enough to force the economy to stop, the amount of CO2 will be sufficient to continue pushing the temperature up considerably.

All of the people here saying Backyard Scientist is better should check out his latest video.

I think all you need to know about this guy is the Vatican asked him to resign a few days ago and he said no. You do not say to no to that sort of thing! He absolutely knew they would remove him and instead of going quietly he said no to make it a big thing. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him running for office, or starting his own break off sect of “true Catholics” soon. Good riddance.

Reminds me of the movie Lord of War with Nicholas Cage. Ukraine has a history of disappearing weapons going back to the fall of the Soviet Union. It’s a hard culture to reverse quickly.

Ironically Crimea is where weapons like the machine gun that came to dominate the 20th century were first used in scale prior to WW1. It’s one of the world’s weapons testing grounds.

We don’t get many declarations of war these days. Usually they are just special military actions, or security operations, or something like that. What makes this different?

In theory the Pope has such powers, but technically he is the first among equals. It would only make things worse if he started acting like a dictator purging bishops that don’t agree with him. There is already a strong, “not my Pope” movement in the US, hence this article. He doesn’t want to drive those people further away. His goal is unity not division.

I love how the new stations still have this vibe, even above ground. It’s a pretty cohesive system, which is nice.

Well at least health care hasn’t started using the word consumer yet!

Switched over from Spotify after they went too hard on Joe Rogan, so I never used Google Music. I like YouTube music. That said, they’ve just started adding podcasts - really hope they don’t go the way of Spotify.

Try Wefwef. I was hesitant about it because it’s a web app and because of the name, but it really runs well and is by far the closest to Apollo I’ve seen yet, both Mlem and Memmy are okay, but using Wefwef I keep forgetting I’m not using Apollo. And it is more full featured than either of the other two are yet.
