schestowitz'"Sep 01 04:57
schestowitz1st is your reliance on the word permafrost. Sure looking at a time scale of 10 years that term works. However nothing on earth is permanent.Sep 01 04:57
schestowitz2nd the movement of the graphs does not show causation. Nor does it show similarity to any other time span like when asteroids hit spewing equally inordanent amts of co2 into the atmosphere.Sep 01 04:57
schestowitz3. The cataclysm you profess is a change in temp of less than 1 degree. If the earth was so fragile that 1 degree would break it we would have been dead long ago.Sep 01 04:57
schestowitz4. Your solution to this 'problem' is to stop/ decrease co2 levels in the atmosphere. But there is a lower limit to co2 levels in regards to the carbon cycle and what plants need to continue photosynthesis. That lim is around 70 to 170ppm. We are not double that. The upper lim for plants is in the 8000 range for humans maybe 5000. We therefore have plenty of room on the upper limits however are dangerously close the lower limits. Venus is notSep 01 04:57
schestowitzthe only dead planet. In fact venus is technically a live planet. Mars on the otherhand is dead. Arguing over which death is preferable is pointless. But we are closer to mars than venus and ur solutions will take us further towards mars.Sep 01 04:57

schestowitzno, thats what i was referring to when i said: “microsoft propaganda aside, how is google NOT joining the war against free software? i realise microsoft is worse”Sep 01 07:20
schestowitzthen i said: “when do we stop giving google a free pass?”Sep 01 07:20
schestowitztwo wrongs dont make a right. yes, microsoft wants us to consider google to be as bad as microsoft, which makes microsoft (in some twisted logic) better, or at least normal. im not fooled by that one-- but that doesnt mean free pass for google, even if people keep giving it one. its not 2005 anymore, google was already evil,Sep 01 07:20
schestowitzgiving google a pass because microsoft is worse is a bit like giving trump a pass because hillary is worse. and im sure hillary is all for for us going after an opponent, just like microsoft is, but the opponent still deserves to be impeached. google really gets way too much a free pass, it is mistakenly assumed to be “open” and it is increasingly picking up microsoft tactics.Sep 01 07:20
-TechBytesBot/#techbytes--> betanews.com | Microsoft and others join the Linux Foundation's Confidential Computing ConsortiumSep 01 07:20
schestowitzif microsoft uses a truth to try to defend themselves-- and its no defense at all-- the truth still stands. “what about google?” is a valid question-- whats false is the implication that it normalises/defends/vindicates microsoft or that two wrongs make a right.Sep 01 07:20
schestowitzwhat microsoft is actually right about is that google gets a pass. its not a pass to do everything that microsoft does, but if you look at american politics, so many people are simply in love with the lesser of two evils-- even when both are evil. thats a real problem, and it certainly applies here.Sep 01 07:20

schestowitztheyre not at war with gnu/linux as much as microsoft, though both microsoft and google are certainly not helping in matters of security or constitutionality. its sickening, and history classes tend to get this wrong too-- people end up encouraged to focus pretty much exclusively on one evil at a time. people walk of out history class knowing one dictator was really really evil, but the others ones-- “meh.” like there isnt room in aSep 01 07:20
