  • Because you can very easily already calculate the increased cost of natural disasters; droughts, floods, severe storms with wind and hail damage, crop spoilage, etc that is occurring right now. The future disasters will be worse.

    As explained in the article they take the cost of current disasters and multiply the known effects of global warming to calculate what costs will be. They can only calculate what they know.

    The costs are probably more like 1000x anyway because there is no way to really apply an accounting system to a complete calamity that would happen if numerous very likely feedback loops happen, as they hint to in the article.










  • UN Security Council passes resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire 2 days ago By Raffi Berg,BBC News Watch: Moment UN passes Gaza ceasefire resolution

    The UN Security Council has called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, after the US did not veto the measure in a shift from its previous position. It also demanded the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. It is the first time the council has called for a ceasefire since the war began in October after several failed attempts. The move by the US signals growing divergence between it and its ally Israel over Israel’s offensive in Gaza.

    Seems like action to me. Yeah a lot more needs to be done, but his words and actions are meeting.





  • so are users, are you volunteering? Moderators don’t get paid, they’re literally just users who occasionally hit the delete button when some makes a post that in general summary looks something like “FCK U ASRHLE, U SCK BLLZ!”, stuff that doesn’t contribute to the public good.

    How does a person who knows nothing about programming edit a code base? I wouldn’t know where to start. I could edit a text file, that’s about it.
