Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Hundreds of millions, billions are going to die from climate change. That is a catastrophe. WhyEssEff was considering/hoping that being avoidable, I'm saying it wasn't. You and I agree on that.
Yea I also agree with you that more ghg makes the effect worse, makes catastrophe worse, all that. Didn't say we should throw up our hands. I was just trying to say that its going to be catastrophically bad (again hundreds of millions to billions) and that it isn't avoidable. Totally agree with you we should make it the least bad catastrophe possible. I'd much rather 2 billion then 4, or have a bit better quality of life, etc. Definitely not worth giving up and not dropping emissions as fast as we possibly can.
