myata Posted October 24, 2024 Report Posted October 24, 2024 (edited) Just as Alberta government is pumping up airwaves with the let's burn it all away ads, the news is coming from a different part of the world: boreal forests may not be as reliable sinks of greenhouse gases as before possibly due to changes in temperature patterns (The Guardian). There's a scientific name for it: a positive feedback loop, when the effect begins feeding on itself and accelerates like an avalanche. But what is it to the populists? The difference for them is measured only in election cycles. There's a planet in our solar system where runaway greenhouse effect took hold and nothing lives there. The temperature at the surface is high enough to melt lead and zinc. Nobody needs to be frightened into or away from anything. But what could and probably will happen if we stop thinking and take lying fairy tales for the truth we want to hear? Venus knows. And we can find it out too. Lying tales can be pleasing to hear. But they make not a speck of a difference to the laws of nature. Edited October 24, 2024 by myata 1 Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

What evidence do you have to back up your claim "where runaway greenhouse effect took hold and nothing lives there"? "Venus knows? What?? LOL What "lying tales"?
