    Lol this isnt hilarious. This political issue is what stops aliens civilizations from reaching interstellar levels? This article comes at an opportune time, doesn’t it? Yeah, “climate change” is killing all the alien civilizations, that must be it. What a joke… get politics outta here.

        You must be young? You don’t see the political implications in the climate change issue?

        Maybe climate change shouldn’t be a political issue, but alas, it most certainly is.

          You’re in America, I assume?

          Nah, I still don’t see it. There’s been stories all along like this.

            Right now, it’s typically the left that benefits from “global warming” scare tactics. Y’all are right. This has been going on for a long time. “Climate change” is what it’s called these days. They couldn’t continue with “warming” because not everywhere is “warming.”

            “Climate change” has been an issue since 1900. Look it up. And there is always a claim that “climate change will end the world in 20 years!”

            The polar ice caps haven’t melted. Sea level hasn’t risen at all… they said NY would be underwater by now.

            I don’t know… maybe we will feel the wrath of climate change someday, but so far, everything is fine.

              Everywhere is warming on average. Where I am is noticaebly warmer and dryer to the point nobody can deny it anymore. The ice caps are noticeably melting. Nobody said NY would be underwater, unless you thought The Day After Tomorrow was a documentary.

              I don’t need to look it up, because I actually read actual science. It did indeed start a little by 1900, because we started burning significant amounts of coal around 1800. We burn a lot more fossil fuels now. Do you need a graph of CO2 PPM, and the same graph of global temperature you’ve definitely seen on TV? Do you need a primer on infrared transparency vs. visible and how that effects energy balance? I can do that, but I’m guessing you’re just going to call me a faggot and leave.

              The polar ice caps haven’t melted. Sea level hasn’t risen at all…

              From NASA: Antarctica is losing ice mass (melting) at an average rate of about 150 billion tons per year, and Greenland is losing about 270 billion tons per year, adding to sea level rise.

              https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/ice-sheets/?intent=121

              Global average sea level has risen 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880. In 2023, global average sea level set a new record high—101.4 mm (3.99 inches) above 1993 levels.

      It’s funny because propaganda is the entire point of the study and the study was made to fit the conclusion?

      It’s funny because it’s all hypothetical and being taken seriously?

      It’s funny because climate change was even a scored factor?

      It’s funny because… aliens are Alex Jones adjacent topics?

      I don’t get it. Why is it funny?

        Yes, yes, yes and…

        aliens are Alex Jones adjacent topics?

        Say what? Why does Jones get a cameo in your response?
