  1. Earth has been a hellish landscape full of lava, Earth is always fine. But the environment isn't. Things have changed.

  2.  @marpintado  So if your child wants to jump off a bridge you have no right to interfere with that choice.

  3.  @eattherich1793  It's not about opinions mattering. Like it or not, this Earth has 8 billion people who do not matter. You need them. Start acting like it.

  4. ​ @matthewparker9276  Climate can change without one realizing. But you can easily look at reference points and compare to old photos to check sea levels. No memory trickery there. I think potholer54 has a video on sea levels not rising, I'm on mobile and will have to watch later.

  5.  @AndrewBurbo-zw6pf  "a plant could use to turn CO2 into O2" - Plant growth depends on many factors (such as depleting soils), and doesn't provide energy.

  6. ​ @marpintado  Yes it is.

  7. Without the solar panels, the energy would have to be produced with coal and gas.

  8.  @TRUTHandLIGHT4809  That's not at all what's happening, and you're also dismissing how cooling will be required to deal with the problem.

  9.  @smirkypants  the 1.5 trillion figure id the inflation adjusted cost of maintaining the aircraft operational until 2070. Not the development cost.

  10.  @uegvdczuVF  1. Everything goes over budget. Not just stealth. 2. Same as above. 3. This happened because the F-22 was made to fight the Soviet Union and the US was fighting insurgents. The USSR didn't exist anymore so the need for F-22s was put into question. 4. The F-117 served the US well. The F-22 will be retired because it was cut short. 5. BS. The F-117 showcased outstanding capabilities and the F-22 dropped JDAMs where no other aircraft could go in Syria due to the defenses.

  11. An increase of 4°C would be terrible. Mind that we're talking about potentially missing the 1.5°C limit we imposed on ourselves for 2100 (?).
    2
  12.  @LTVoyager  I am sure it would be terrible. An average increase of 4ºC would mean in some places temperatures could rise as much as 15-20ºC on a hot summer day. Temperate regions could turn bone dry.

  13.  @lucqq3792  It's disproportionate... because there's a disproportionate representation in that world.

  14.  @lucqq3792  No, by my logic if you're disproportionately related to a contributing factor you will be over-represented.

  15.  @lucqq3792  It does, you just want to play coy.

  16. ​ @alexandrustefanmiron7723 A green Sahara will mean you'll have to abandon multiple cities and start building there. You think you can get a green Sahara and a livable LA or Las Vegas? Or Tucson? Congratulations, you're footing the bill for the relocation of millions of people. It's going to be trillions.

  17. There's a window in the spectrum. The surface of the Earth can't just emitt in that window.

  18. Wouldn't work in already humid areas, just dry areas. You'd have to transport water into places where water is scarce due to the dry conditions. Plus, you'd be warming the air near the clouds, not space.

  19. By the time that greening happens, you'll have refugees from Las Vegas, Tucson, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, etc knocking on your borders. Or maybe you live in a hot place and you'll be forced to abandon it to move to greener pastures. How about we don't green up Africa and stay where we are? It would save us trillions.

  27.  @eattherich1793  The explanation in the video is correct. The issue here is the logarithmic rate and how functions can be approached with local linearizations. Both sides will keep talking past each other until this is explained in a way we laymen can understand.

  28.  @eattherich1793  Only a small portion have net negative emissions. The amount of denialists is irrelevant if people pollute the same.

  29.  @eattherich1793  Heard that one before. The average person can support what the experts say, and still want to do whatever they want.

  30. Why? Biofuels would produce the most waste heat.
    1
  31. ​ @AndrewBurbo-zw6pf  because the free energy absorbed allows us to stop building more and more coal and gas thermal power stations.

  32. For Earth? There is none. What matters is preserving the biome as much as possible because we don't have millions of years for new plants and animals to be adapted.

  33. The irony is that without kids economies all over the world will stumble as people age and our productive demographic shrinks, thus making sure we won't have the prosperity to fix the issues.

  34. Okay. But most heat is wasted. If we could have a perfect world, the power stroke would suck all the heat during the expansion of gasses and the exhaust would fly out at ambient temperature.

  35. ​ @QuinnArgo  "waaa if there was no state then I could just steal because I don't recognize property" well the problem is that this sounds great until someone bigger than you wants your stuff

  39.  @jeromedavies2408  The point of hypersonics is covering as much middle ground as fast as possible for naval use. A conventional missile will need some kind of assisted guidance from an aircraft to keep up to date information on target position or else the ship might completely flee outside of on board sensor ranges. This means that carrier groups could deploy their own aircraft to destroy the targeting aircraft or just pressure them into fleeing. Satellite only gives you a few minutes of coverage above the target. Launching a hypersonic allows the missile to get close enough to the ship to turn on its own sensors and slow down to conventional supersonic for terminal phase maneuvering.

  40. How much solar energy leaves Earth? The total incoming isn't as relative as the difference between incoming and outgoing.

  41. Sure. But what about the people living in already hot countries? They won't get any greener.

  42. ​ @AllTheFasteners  We can be equally rich and invest in totally different things.

  44. Depends on the spectrum. Infrared is definitely absobred by water vapor. Some thermal imaging sensors have a very limted range because eventually water blocks IR. But you can get more expensive sensors (typically supercooled) which see on the sprectrum that doesn't get absorbed and thus get more range. The cheap thermal monocle you get on Amazon for your night hunting trip has a few kilometers of range. The thermal sensor on a F-35 fighter jet can see a missile being launched from 800km away.

  45.  @hagopbulbulian6642  Actually it's 800 miles for suborbital rockets.

  46.  @hagopbulbulian6642  If it's a rocket blasting off, I believe it can be seen from afar.

  47. ​ @brothermine2292  It's not the fact that the candy is only one day. It's that the candy is given every two days, and the day after eating it I'm stuck on the toilet. The tasty candy is good, but eating it comes with gastrointestinal consequences. No heating in winter, but massive energetic consumption during summer. I'd reject the free candy (no heater in winter) to avoid paying the price in the porcelain throne (blasting AC day and night in summer).

  48. They'd make more money if they could.

  49. Biofuel by its very nature captures carbon from the air when manufactured, thus "cooling" the planet or at least preventing more carbon from being emitted. Normal fuel takes carbon stored for millions of years during the period where CO2 was much higher. We don't want it all back in the atmosphere. Geothermal heat alone would make Earth unlivable. Our surface would be frozen solid. It's the Sun that gives us our livable temperature.
    1
  50.  @fotoyartefotoyarte1044  Okay. If we don't use biofuel at all, just fossil fuel, CO2 rises. If we only use biofuel, CO2 doesn't rise. The waste heat will be emitted in either case.
