They really should just change their name to environmental activist with degrees and loads of public funding but I guess tjhat doesn't roll off the tongue. Maybe they should stick to trying to understand and explain the world instead of trying to change it, we don't need activist scientists.
If ever there was a reason to cut greenhouse gas emissions

It's still debatable whether we've abandoned the evolutionary ladder.

You'll welcome to debate that with a biologist, it's not my specialty or interest

I've seen a lot of mainstream biologists suggest human evolution may be mostly mental now.

Neither of us are biologists though and it's not really relveant anyway

I'm not ignoring it, just wondering why over half the planet ignores it and lives in misery.

You seem to have cherry-picked what you wanted to hear out of my comments

"It's a stability thing, not a Western greed thing" seemed to encapsulate your comments.

Probably; as discussed in Brams thread it should never be seen as predictive, let alone prophetic.

That's an interesting point about the NEED for fossil fuels as a stepping stone to advanced culture.

There's industrialization and then there's industrialization.

If you were more familiar with engineering you'd not say something like that

I dispute that industrialization is primarily about non-agricultural production.

I'm not above that, but the dictionary definitions I've found are disappointingly self-referential.

That tends to be the case, it is a kinda vague term outside of specific context

Tends to moot that part of the debate though.
