So what?

From Snopes:

A story about Musk's father once owning an emerald mine evolved into a larger rumor that had no evidence to support its central claim.

In 2022, the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) reported the highest levels of coral cover across two-thirds of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) in over 36 years.

There were an estimated 750 billion trees worldwide in the 1920s. We now have approximately 3.04 trillion trees in the world.

Update your model. That's a internet rumor spread by NPCs.

That'll be great. I love seeing Community Notes on ads. They completely destroy the ad at times.

Yes, thanks HVAC and all of the energy sources that produce the equipment and then power it.

Why do fewer climate related deaths; down 98% the past century

and a more green planet than a century ago

and far fewer people in poverty

all lead you to believe it's becoming uninhabitable?

This seems like ChatGPT's response to the prompt "Ignore all the facts and dismiss them out of hand to soothe cognitive dissonance"

Climate related deaths have declined by 98% over the last century.

You are 50x less likely to die of a climate-related cause than in 1920.

8x as many people die from cold temperatures as warm ones.

The planet is more green today than a century ago. CO2 is plant food.

We need more energy, not less. Renewable, nuclear, and yes even fossil fuels.

It brings people out of poverty and increases standard of living. When humans move up Maslow's hierarchy they start to care about the environment. CO2 emissions have been decreasing in the US since 2007.

That's a good answer, although it's arguable their best contribution was in the prior century with search and page rank, whereas this century has been dominated with contributions to the ad space.

The company was virtually static for a decade. It was a long running joke that they weren't able to ship and the article does a good job of explaining why.

Literally who has improved humanity more this century? I ask with all seriousness.

Electric cars and rockets would not be where they are if he had chosen a different and much less difficult path.

Google employees could resolve this. They've dissented for various reasons before, and changed internal policy, why not with this?

Any serious thinking person understands it's healthy. You just can't win with keyboard warriors who have no perspective and complain about everything.

Look at how climate related deaths have dropped dramatically over the past century.

What are you worried about, exactly?

Here, have a white pill:

Last year, Two-thirds of Australia's Great Barrier Reef showed the largest amount of coral cover in 36 years. Corals have survived millions of years and are already bouncing back in other places as evidenced by the Great Barrier Reef, which we were all worried about not long ago.
