When the "improvement" is because of more than an isolated storm, maybe it'll be uplifting, but this is polishing a turd.
They're only out of the drought for maybe a few months. Watch what happens in summer.

Well we're not plants.
And despite what your junk must look like, we're not fungi either.

Reply to NASA's Annual Day of Remembrance today, Jan. 26, honors the astronauts who died during the Apollo 1 fire and the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters. by clayt6
Considering that the NASA leadership should've been charged with manslaughter for Challenger and Columbia, a day of remembrance is the least they could do.

You could plant a billion trees tomorrow and they'd have a negligible impact on the amount of carbon that we need to worry about.
I'm all for planting more, but we need multiple solutions, and some of those are expensive.

Space is big.
REALLY big.
99.999999999999% of stuff is incomprehensibly far from you.
You can reliably worry more about dying from an attack by a hippopotamus, that you should worry about anything from space hurting you.
Except the sun. Wear sunscreen. Seriously.

Offsets are scams that don't actually do anything.
They're not cutting their emissions.

Where, exactly do you think the money for UBI is going to come from?
If you take a fairly conservative $1200 a month to cover rent, food, and basic utilities (not including internet or phone or ANYTHING else) and multiply that by 2/3 of the US population, that's 2.8 Trillion dollars a year.
Trillion.
There's no way you can do that that wouldn't make the inflation we're currently seeing look like the tiniest little blip in history.

China's navy isn't anywhere CLOSE to being as capable as the US Navy. You're either a CCP troll, or just ridiculously ignorant.

Practically speaking, you'd boost for half the trip, flip, and brake the second half.
Instant stop would squish everything.

Nuclear weapons don't work like that. They'd ruin shit for people, but everything else would get along just fine after as few as ten years after a global exchange.

I've been saying this for years.
