Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Dude, I have an aerospace engineering degree. Excuse yourself for making dumbest assumptions. I have not rejected any science. Are you like a troll or bot farm, or just bored? Yes, my partner was at a conference until last Wednesday. She's no longer at a conference, but I'm not going to go bother her with this frivolous internet argument. Eventually, yes, we will talk about this conversation I've had with you. I have talked about this very thing in the past, and she has said we need carbon sequestration at this point to stave off the worst effects of climate change, but at no point has she said we have a scalable solution to do it, or that she thinks we will do anything. Her research takes a very pessimistic viewpoint that we aren't going to do jackshit about climate change, so we are just going to have to try to adapt to it, which honestly, I agree with. Humans showed through the pandemic that they weren't up to the task of helping their fellow humans by doing something even as simple as wearing a piece of fabric over their face.
But, by all means, continue to make assumptions, and make yourself look like a presumptuous ass.
Ok so you don't have any substantive arguments but a lot more calls to unverifyable authority - your wife is welcome to take whatever stance she wants but if the core assumption of her work is that no solutions to climate change will prove effective then yes that's useful for understanding those eventualities but it's not a good way of evaluating potentially effective solutions or determinng what is likely to happen
And yes of course I already know you're going to claim that it's exactly what she does and that she a triple doctor in advanced whatever helps your cause this time... Ok. It's a shame she lost her voice and can't help you provide any meaningful arguments....
I'm in a poly relationship with all of NASA and they published a series of studies on the chemistry and economics of carbon sequestration which said carbon sequestration is a vital part of combatting climate change - though I'm sure your dad works for double NASA
I already said what she does, climate adaptation. Why would I say she does anything else? You're just being obtuse now.
I mean, I do. But it's in a completely unrelated field to climate stuff, so doesn't really matter in this argument.
Ok well you're clearly the world authority on this, shame you can't give any meaningful arguments...
Right... where did I say anywhere in this comment chain that I was the world authority on the subject? Did you want to have a discussion with someone, or are you just bored and wanted someone on the internet to argue with?
I wanted a discussion but what I got was someone making up reasons they totally know I'm wrong but can't provide any argument more compelling than 'my wife said...'
And who lets remember lied in the first comment and claimed to have read lots of research into this but has now totally backtracked from that.
Where did I lie? Do you think I sit around reading research papers all day, or that I just read articles about it for the most part, the same way you do? I've looked up research on these subjects, and frankly, most of them are behind paywalls, bcz journals don't allow people to access them without a subscription, or an affiliation with a university. So, no, I most just read paper abstracts bcz I'm not a climate scientist. That doesn't mean I'm lying when I sat I've seen a lot of research on the topic. In any case, this is getting dumb. Have a nice weekend, thanks for wasting both of our time.
I don't know but the effort you've put into making claims about your totally real and deep understanding of this subject you could probably have read one and actually learnt something.
You've so far made exactly zero statements that demonstrate any knowledge at all of anything related to the subject at hand, you've however written pages about how qualified you or your absent wife supposedly are on the subject... Do you really not see how this looks exactly like the behaviour of someone that doesn't know what they're talking about but wants to convince people of the thing they feel should be true because it confirms their other biases?
Do you think people don't notice when you ignore every technical or fact based point I raise and instead focus on trying to bulster your precueved authority status? When you ignore the statements of genuine authorities in the field like the USAF and NASA do you really think people are going to see it and say 'well his quadruple doctor wife who's away at a conference said nuh so two of the most respected aviation authorities in the world probably don't know what they're talking about...'
And based on your claims this is the part of the argument which should be easiest for you to show knowledge in, easiest for you to construct an argument about - and no you can't pretend you don't have the inclination if you're going to write so much about your wife's credentials to try and convince me instead.
Wow, you really are a fucking troll.
