yeah no shit that’s the emissions per capita part. It was ‘oversimplified’ but I guess still too hard for you to understand?

Yes that means it’s less important to reduce birth rate in Eritrea than in the US or Australia or whatever. As long as you’re either not concerned about raising their HDI rapidly or you think it can raise without per capita emissions rising with it and good luck with that.

If you didn’t actually have a rebuttal you could have just not engaged instead of being a smug prick with nothing to add.

OK then explain how increasing population reduces demand for goods and lowers GHG emissions.

It doesn’t need to be, the core concept is simple. We are already overpopulated because we are failing to sustainably provide for 8 billion people. Doubling the number of people to provide for is not going to help.

total emissions = emissions per capita * capita

Unless we figure out carbon neutrality without cratering HDI in the next year or two maybe lets work on reducing birth rates. ‘we could have 20 billion people if we all live like subsistence farmers’ is fucking stupid.

I just wish the musk circlejerk stayed in /c/enough_musk_spam. I’m not obsessed with him so I don’t care about his texas drainage permits any more than anyone else’s county drainage permits.

The only reason to care about this ‘story’ is if you enjoy getting mad at musk. It is so absurdly inconsequential compared to all the stuff happening in the world that is actually newsworthy. I don’t care if people want to obsess over him but it should be in a community for it. This isn’t tech news.

exactly the type of missing the point that I was talking about *

And of course nuance is dead and if you’re not jerking off in the circlejerk you must support musk and everything he has ever done.

*Ironic because I missed/ignored theirs.

Good, hope it’s lonely. Die alone, bigot.

A lot of people get off on hating musk, they only really want an excuse at this point. Like the very upvoted comment ‘I don’t care if it’s outputting pure spring water’.

Nobody would care about this at all if it was any other company. ‘Company erodes county owned ditch without proper permit with water that would meet drinking water standards if you dilute it by half’. But people enjoy getting mad at musk so it gets clicks and upvotes. And of course this and every other comment that isn’t saying musk should be hanged for this will be downvoted because nuance is dead and if you’re not jerking off in the circlejerk you must support musk and everything he has ever done.

There is not so much of a shortage of real problems in the world that some permitting issue over a ditch in texas deserves global attention.

*oh what a surprise. the musk anti-fandom took offense.

‘Your personal experience is invalid because it goes against the circlejerk’

Thacker Pass is inside the McDermitt Caldera, it’s the same deposit.

Really bizarre to write or post an article saying this deposit was ‘discovered’. This is decade old news. I saw the headline and thought ‘oh nice that’s like a whole other Thacker Pass’ but it literally is just Thacker Pass.

Somebody needs to figure out a way to prevent people from upvoting headlines of articles they haven’t read because as far as I can tell there is absolutely no reason to post or upvote this.

If only there was information in the post about where it is then you wouldn’t have to guess. Or you can just make stuff up to get mad at.

Ok technically it’s energy not power, big deal. Sometimes electricity is colloquially called power.

Its so annoying how hard it is to find blades for safety razors. Twice now I’ve flown somewhere with no blade in my razor hoping to find blades at the destination and had to either buy a disposable or get blades sent to an amazon locker.

lead is in avgas for prop planes, not jet fuel.

*I guess turboprops also use jet fuel so I should have said small GA planes but you get the point.
