I've already answered those questions. Our views differ on whether it causes the end of the world or not. — Tzeentch
It's highly questionable whether such a rise in temperature would be caused by man — Tzeentch
I'm assuming you're referring to a notable drop in biodiversity?
Ehh... Maybe? What does it have to do with climate change? — Tzeentch
(my italics).It may result in difficulties, the scale of which is probably nowhere near what people are currently claiming. (mass extinction, the end of the world, etc.) — Tzeentch
It's highly questionable whether such a rise in temperature would be caused by man, considering the world has been steadily warming up long before man started burning fossil fuels and we are currently living in a cold period in the Earth's history, making a rises in temperature not just likely, but also inevitable. — Tzeentch
What does it have to do with climate change? — Tzeentch
When we think we see an object, we are not actually directly experiencing it, but instead looking at an image that our mind creates. Thus, we are not directly experiencing the object. — Tzeentch
If you believe it's questionable, you ought to be able to point out what step in the physical process you think gives rise to the question. — Echarmion

Good day,
I had a most disturbing dream tonight.
Together with my family I was in a house in a rural area. Then, for a reason that was either trivial or for no reason at all, or as part of a game, I shot my brother dead. After this I ran into the night in a sort of drunken haze.
I ran until I came across some town or village, where I met some people, but this part of the dream is rather vague.
Then I woke up. Rather, I thought I woke up. You know that feeling when you had a bad dream and you wake up to realize it wasn't real? I woke up with that feeling in the house I ran from, but I was still dreaming.
It quickly dawned on me that something was wrong, as everyone was in a grave mood. Apparently some time had already passed since that night, but it soon became clear that my brother was actually shot, presumably by me, but all I had was a recollection of the dream.
Now I was filled with the feeling of dread of knowing I may have shot my brother and will probably go to jail for a long time. I also felt the grief of my mother who had found my brother where I had shot him in my dream.
At this point I was the only one who seemed to realize that I may be the culprit, but apparently cameras had recorded the whole ordeal. The last part of the dream is me insisting on wanting to see the footage, and the other people for some reason being reluctant to show it. Right before I finally was shown the recording I woke up (this time for real, I hope...).
A very unpleasant dream, especially after having been lured into a false sense of relief by "waking up" inside my dream.
I've been trying to make sense of it. Perhaps there are some dream interpreters who can help me here, especially considering this important plottwist: I don't actually have a brother.
Also, feel free to share any of your own disturbing dreams.
Regards,

The CO2 emissions by themselves aren't the primary cause, it's all the emissions from earth outwards - in due to fossil fuel sondages. Simply not burning coal or oil will do little in comparison to the stop of their exhumation which is public enemy number one.Two things;

Massive social mobilization would probably be required. Because of the economic impact of the policies that are now required, we're looking at the equivalent of aglobal communist revolution. — Echarmion
Does anybody know how to trigger major simultaneous and coordinated behavior changes in several billion people -- within 10 years? Within 50? Never mind, 50 years will be too late to begin changing. — Bitter Crank
We have physical models telling us roughly how much of an effect how much CO2 in the atmosphere has. According to these models, CO2 is the primary cause. — Echarmion
I agree it will not cause the end of the world. It might cause a whole lot of death though. How many lifes are you willing to risk, and to what end? — Echarmion
Your data does not address that.Humanity has coped with a changing climate since its inception. Nothing we do can stop the climate from changing, since it's a natural phenomenon. — Tzeentch
