> Jobs saw the Apple Store not so much as a retail outlet but as a church for evangelizing to the unconverted. He wanted the world to know that Apple’s simple but powerful tools would give people access to whatever stirred their passions—photos, songs, movies—and help them create these things on their own.
„Under high-emission scenarios, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a key system of ocean currents that also includes the Gulf Stream, could shut down after the year 2100.“
75 years to work on a solution to a possible problem? I rate humanity’s chances. But Europe is responsible for a third of cumulative emissions. Once they undo that bit it should be okay. Negative emissions for 75 years will be hard but they can perhaps undo the damage they’ve done to the Earth.
It is a global challenge. Climate change is caused by rich people in developed countries (the average Indian person causes very low co2 emissions). There are some good initiatives to mitigate climate change, but so far, it is too little, too late. The US taking a back seat does not help either.
How’s it going so far? Greenhouse gas emissions only keep rising. There’s no basis to rate humanity’s chances positively based on actual evidence to date, even despite all the positive developments in renewable energy generation and storage.
I was going to submit it with the title "Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy" as the "experts warn" takes it just over the character limit
What is lost when you put any of these in an LLM?
Yes, we can get plausible sounding answers generated algorithmically. But these are great starting points for humans to develop their own thinking.
My university, LSE, asked all students to write exam essays by hand ~10 years ago. Wonder how it is done at Oxford today.
