It’s like that Ian Malcolm monologue in the Jurassic Park book. Life finds a way but that’s little consolation to the specific species who don’t make it.
And remember when in Force of Nature some scientists claim that warp travel in certain areas destroys spacetime a tiny bit at a time, everyone says “impossible!”, but then one of the science sacrifices her life to produce more conclusive data, Geordi and Data look into it, proving that the theory stacks up, and so the Federation imposes a damage-minimising speed limit for standard warp travel while engine developers start working on technology that avoids this problem?
The part with data and numbers actually being taken seriously and acted upon is what requires the most suspension of disbelief.
No one thinks global warming is science fiction anymore, it's so universally accepted as true that the argument has moved to what degree humans have added to it.
Saying it's not real is just something trolls on reddit with hidden post history say.
Just going from the episode alone, there's been 40 years of failed projections and even predictions. But keep believing science fiction as science fact.
Wow, you're an idiot. Let me guess, you're the type who "does his own research"? i.e. you go on Facebook looking for nonsense that confirms your conspiracy theories while ignoring all actual evidence that clearly proves you wrong.
Feel free to explain any of this:
Global temperatures are rising. Earth is about 1°C warmer than in the late 1800s.
Oceans are warming. They absorb most of the extra heat.
Ice is melting. Glaciers, Arctic sea ice, and polar ice sheets are shrinking.
Sea levels are rising from melting ice and expanding warmer water.
Greenhouse gases are increasing, especially CO2 and methane.
CO2 levels are unusually high compared with at least the last 800,000 years.
The atmosphere shows the greenhouse effect pattern, lower atmosphere warming, upper atmosphere cooling.
And yet, the temperature keeps rising. You can argue about the accuracy of predicted timelines if you want, but saying it's not happening at all is just sticking your head in the sand.
Yes. The paid climate scientists are wrong. There are many others that disagree that it's happening or flat out say more studying needs to be done. But hell, what do I know? 20 years ago, they said we would be under water by now. Guess I'm the one who is wrong.
Where did you even get the idea that scientists are lying and global warming is a hoax? You heard that from some weird source and went, "Yeah, seems legit." Now look who's not questioning things and just accepting. Leap off that cliff with the others.
Hey, I completely sympathize with your perspective here but there's no point in arguing with this poster. Post history is hidden in their marked as an 18 account, and there is a huge statistical overlap of those two things and accounts that are only on Reddit to get attention, supply, and control.

I love how in the midst of socio-economic collapse there always the reminder, oh yeah the planet is dying.

That planet will be fine. It will just shake us off like fleas.

The planet will be fine (eventually something will learn to eat plastic) but we are gonna take a WHOLE lot of species with us in our death flail...

I got 99 problems and a warp core breach imminient, but if you have a socio-economic collapse i feel bad for you son

Natural causes alone cannot explain recent warming.
Climate models only match observations when human emissions are included.

It rises and goes back down. It's cyclical.

So the scientists are all wrong but you know better? Don't you know how bad that sounds for your reasoning abilities?

Do you believe in flat earth and that the moon landing was a hoax? Chemtrails? Pizzagate?

Who's more likely to lie to you? An independent researcher, or a researcher funded by fossil fuel companies?
AlexCivitello@reddit
You're projecting. Everything you've said here is also things said by people funded by fossil fuel companies.

Weve known about global warming since the 1950s let that sink in. The 1950s…
