It must be humid in the air tonight. 😆

Are you finding those wild? That's pretty awesome.

Just about every one of these "facts" on this website are either false or completely misleading.

For example, yes, no one is denying there have been time periods on Earth that have been far warmer than today. But the Earth was also drastically different during those time periods as well that wouldn't be conducive to the society that humans have built up today. The rate of our warming is also far faster than time periods of natural cycles (such as milankovitch cycles). Those cycles take place over thousands of years are the warming is a result of increased solar intensity (due to Earth being closer to the sun). Again, the facts I listed above exclude this as being a possible cause.

Finally, the website you linked to was started by William O'Keefe who was also a former CEO of the George C Marshall Institute and American Petroleum Institute that has been peddling climate change misinformation for decades as shown in now public archival documents.

Because all the politicians are 60+ years old and could care less about future generations. Hence why they're also running massive debt and printing money without a care about how future generations will pay for it. They only care about themselves.

Fact #1: CO2 radiates heat. This is an observable fact.

Fact #2: The greenhouse gas effect is real due to #1 and many other gases in our atmosphere with similar properties. It is what enables life on our planet to exist.

Fact #3: Atmospheric CO2 levels have risen over 30% in just the last 50 years alone due predominantly to the burning of fossil fuels that resided in their solid and liquid carbon forms in the earth's crust. This is an observable and measurable fact.

Fact #4: The upper atmosphere is cooling while the lower atmosphere is warming. This is an observable and measurable fact.

Fact #5: Night time temperatures are rising faster than day time temperatures. This is an observable and measurable fact.

Fact #6: Facts #4 and #5 wouldn't be true if something such as the sun (or anytjing external to our planet) were the reason why our planet is warming.

Fact #7: We've measured how much external heat radiation our planet receives and how much heat radiation our planet radiates back out to space. Even with the absence of our very real temperature measurements on the surface of our planet, we know and observe that our planet is retaining more of the external heat our planet receives each year.

Fact #8: Due to the above facts, we know that the reason for the warming of our lower atmosphere (an observable fact) is due to the changes in composition of the atmosphere itself.

Even if you wanted to come up with your own theory as to why our planet is warming that doesn't involve humans as the main reason, you'd still need to explain the causes of the very real and observable facts listed above. Human driven climate change as a result of burning fossil fuels is the only theory that does this.

You can argue about the outcomes or potential second order of effects that might result from all of this; such as whether the AMOC is weakening or the timeline for arctic land ice melting, etc.

But arguing that climate change is not real, is not occurring, or that humans are not the main driver is arguing against a mountain of factual and observable evidence. It is akin to arguing that the planet is flat.

Oh ya, definitely a Nostr-wide issue. I previously used Amethyst as well and same issue there. Though I was able to avoid the issue in the past by connecting to my own relay that would multiplex notes from a bunch of public relays, which would save on client data use. But with the outbox model that's not really as feasible. The cost of decentralization I suppose.

There is no pure economic model of any economic ideal in reality. That doesn't lessen the point I made. The closer you get to communism along the spectrum, the further I want to be from it.
