One Hour One Life Forums

I realize this.  I have shown however that CO2 is the predominant factor in global warming today.  Not only that but that the CO2 is anthropogenic. So saying it is more complicated is hand-waving and dodging the issue because you can't address it directly.

Again, you're misunderstanding.  I linked you a graph showing the temperatures used to be much much higher 50 million years ago. Why not cherry pick that? 130,000 years ago is a single data point and really not relevant in the grand scheme of things.  What matters is the rate of change here and the projected trend. 

I can almost guarantee you that the same scientists that wrote the article that the Globe is referencing there in 1970 are the not the same scientists that discovered global warming in the 1980s or the ones that continue to do research on it today. 

Science does change and you have to update your outlook with new information which is something you seem to be unable to do.   

I'm not sure why you brought up the ozone layer, but there isn't a better example of anthropogenic global atmospheric disruption that was reversed by action that was taken... It seems a self-defeating point you've made there.

Yes and that is key to understanding the problem.  You are talking about the natural carbon cycle I can only assume with your graph here.  If it is accurate, then a 3.5% disruption to that cycle is MASSIVE especially over the course of a mere century.

I criticized your graph of 400,000 years.  You realize that one century is 1/4000 of such a graph correct? 

And this one you've posted and analyzed... well first of all it's in F, which is annoying, but also the Eemian "spike" you're talking about was nearly 40,000 years long.  It looks steep because the graph is huge. 

We have only been doing this for a century.  You will not see it on graphs larger than 1000s of years.   

I mentioned the Paleocene Thermal Maximum because it is much more comparable.  Here is what it looks like on a millions of years chart.

See that little tiny spike next to "PETM" that looks like just a blip?  That's 50,000 years and it was incredibly disruptive to life on the planet.  Again I will reiterate the studies I posted above, we are contributing 10x the amount of carbon that caused that little blip, today, and our trend is still upward.

Here's a much more comparable graph to today versus the Eemian. 

Notice how they zoom on the last thousand years so you can get a real sense of what is going instead of trying to compare steep angles that are the difference between 100 years and 10,000.  We are well outside the carbon levels that have kept us in glacial cycles for the last few million years.

Gene score is a random number generator.  Your great nephew will have a greater affect on your score than you will by living to 60 and keeping a town alive. 

What getting on the discord gets you is the ability to know when NOT to play if you care about gene score.  People who care will not spawn in if there is an Eve wave going on, only when towns are established. Likewise they won't spawn if there is a griefer active and if they do spawn in to a town with an active griefer, it is better to /die than try to live out that life.  The system does not incentivize what it's supposed to, caring about your family, rather it incentivizes power play where you basically carry the town on your back while using Hetuw mod so zoomed out you don't even notice that the noob next to you is asking for help, rather you're chatting across server in Phex about active griefers and trade.  It also disincentivizes some of the funnest parts of the game, essentially playing through adversity.

Speaking of discord specifically, it is not a healthy community. Most people there are extremely jaded with the game and Jason's direction and update schedule and it's pretty easy to see why.  You are exactly right that joining this community is pretty much a requirement with the current game's state but that is not a good thing. 

I took a break after the rift updates (which I believe is where Jason really lost his way) and came back to a game that is incomprehensible and people who knew what they were doing but had no time to stop and help me in game even though I would ask.  I joined the discord because I knew that was the only way I was going to catch back up, but most people aren't going to go to that effort.  They'll spawn a few times and then quit for good after being told off for berrymunching and then wandering around aimlessly without knowing what to do or anyone willing to teach them.   

The game is way off from what it was originally intended to be about.  It has the simultaneous problems of being impenetrable to newcomers and too stagnant for veterans and most of all, asocial without meta-gaming.  This chart shows that something is wrong and that the game won't be around for much longer unless something changes. https://steamcharts.com/app/595690#All

Also, re: language, we have white people, radios and pen and paper.  I think it's one of the few systems in the game right now that's interesting because it encourages SOME kind of interaction even though none of them make logical sense.  Again, power users will just skirt around this with phex.
