I emphatize with your feelings blumenkraft.
But should we stop reporting because you can't handle it?

Sorry for asking!

RE: This!
Could we please, please stop reporting on this suicide? Or perhaps at least with a trigger warning and without such pictures?

I can't handle this shit. Seriously, just can't!
The attached image (Typhoon 29W (Kammuri)) guarantees destruction to many and probably death to quite a few, but does not generate much of an emotional response.

We respond much more when individuals are involved and we have an image of that individual.

Perhaps that is why we can debate how many millions (billions?) of humankind are facing destruction and likely early death from AGW and other environmental damage in the remainder of this century.

Stalin is credited with saying "a single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic”.

I really didn't expect a salin quote and whataboutism as a response to me asking politely but here we are...

A few  persons die in a stabbing on London bridge and it gets headlines for days 6,000 miles away
Hundreds die somewhere poor  and it might make a few lines buried among the adds if you are lucky.
The weather catastrophe porn is important on sites like this or we simply do not get informed about them.

The economic costs of climate change  ignores the pain and suffering we are inflicting on the poor. A few homes  in a rich place flooding is given many times more weight than a thousand being destroyed in Bangladesh.

I also have problems when looking at the suffering of individuals. I have to force myself to do it. Part of the long-term therapy, but that is personal history.

How could this derail like that?

I suppose you can differentiate between hard science threads and social ones .

A thread on 2019 Mauna Loa CO2 levels is not an appropriate place for half a dozen members to have an involved discussion on ocean heat content.
 Not only does it clog the thread detracting from its purpose it also means any significant content on the off topic topic is lost to prosperity.

A few asides would be acceptable, to most. on any thread. When you have a page or more of chatter on a hard science  thread not so.

Propose or Answer a tangential question or add some snark or humor, OK. if it gets more involved suggest shifting to a more appropriate thread.

I am not trying to make rules just attempting to generate discussion on something  I see as important for the health of this forum.

I don't know what you will do, but on the Furry forum they asked I call them "Reasonable Skeptics" on both fora. I will try to call them skeptics. I try to be fair in vocabulary, calling my opponents in another issue "prochoice" even as they refuse to call me "prolife" instead of "antichoice". "Denier" may be pedantically correct, but the deniers of a certain historical fact have tainted that term. So I will just call them skeptics. Even when they call us "warmmongers". Or "watermelons" (green on the outside, red on the inside).

EDIT: I've been calling us "AGWphobes" on the Furry forum (although the weather Dec-Feb here in Twinsburg sorely tempts me to be an AGWphile). Do you have a better term?

Climate risk deniers, because that's what they do: Deny that there is any risk involved with AGW. As soon as they admit that there is potential risk, they know they are in trouble. So, zero risk.

One picture.

https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,2886.msg239192.html#msg239192

I asked for a trigger warning for such content (or not to post it at all ideally). I think it's not too much to ask for. For me, it was traumatising to see this shit.

Okay, seen it now (had already seen it, but didn't know you referred to this).

The guy is still alive, not rotting, he wouldn't agree it's suicide, he has a frostbitten nose, it's on-topic...

I think very few people have a problem with it (I don't). I'm going to let it stand. I suggest you don't follow that thread and get the information elsewhere.

I see the same thing in "2019 CO2 emissions".
These posts are more than 48 hours old.

Can I get permission to please modify a post of mine from the 21th?

We have a lot of cool stats, but do we know something about the age structure of this forum?

I would think we are all rather beyond 40 and younger folks are the minority?

Would a poll on the topic be appropriate?

I would expect the average age on here to  be around 50.
The same goes for those who comment on the climate blogs I follow like ATTP, hot whopper, open mind, climate crocks, skeptical science  and real climate. 
Don't know why its mostly us oldies on such blogs .

The young mostly use social media - written short messages + talking to each other.

Us oldies are more likely to write stuff. I can't even be bothered to let the computer talk to me, though every so often it, and my mobile especially, try to drag me into the 21st century.

Well, a forum is also social media in the broad sense, but i get your point, Gerontocrat.

This is very not mainstreamy, and the network effect is nothing to be concerned about.

Anyway, it would be nice to have a pied piper piping some young folks in here. Imagine Greta was a member.  8)

Yeah, 100% agree.

Sometimes you could get the impression quoting correctly is only for the gifted...

So here are the golden rules for quoting:

1) Use the quote button so that you get the quote tag with link to the post. Others might want to click on them to get the entire context
1a) Point one is even more important if you reply in another thread. Use the quote header the forum gives you when you click the quote button and copy it over to the new thread
2) Delete all text you are not responding to
3) Delete Youtube and other embedded media links
4) If you screwed up your markup, go back and edit your post. Use the preview button when in doubt

It has taken a lot of time and energy, successes and failures to build a library of spreadsheets and data sources. So it is a bit annoying to think people have to wade through a load of clutter to reach the data.

This is a data thread. So, please please please bring data or a new way of looking at the data (when discussion is great).

If not, bugger off.


We ain't lack cops uh? Joining the Stasi/Stapo? Oren, you, nice camorra.

Gerontocrat puts so much work into this thread and all he ever asks for is to not shit all over the place. And now you are doing just that, on purpose.

Gandul, this is like the lowest of the lows. You are just a disrespectful crook. Shame on you!

You had the chance to reply to me in the off-topic thread. I even send you a PM. You could have answered my questions there too. But you didn't. Why?

Hello, yes, I admit mine has been bad behavior. First my apologies to Oren. He indeed does policing, but that is welcome in the Forum ("Stay on topic" kind of policing). I have to thank that too. I don't like all kinds of people around trashing threads and I hope to be more careful and avoid doing that.

Second apologies to BK too. That stasi/stapo comment was way out of line. I am willing to friendly interchanges, sometimes I am a bit bitter though.

What I would personally welcome is that if anybody doesn't agree with my comments (especially in politics), please don't keep prosecuting me around, asking me for data, asking me for sources, etc.
I don't have to pull out of my ass 30 sources to support the opinions I present. Is that supposed to be a norm in this Forum, to document everything and to research absolutely everything to the point of having scientific/factual proof of absolutely everything is said? I don't think so.

If you want everything proof-validated this is going to be a slow, slow conversation. A scientific conversation in fact. That's why science is so slow, as it has to be, and real scientists so cautious, as they have to be.

Well said gandul.
I have my fair share of bad language and temper (I do work hard to avoid, but I am what I am), though I don't apologize for policing per se, especially as Neven has been very busy in the last year(?). For sure I could have responded better to you when I did, it was worded roughly. But I have not taken your retort to heart so no need to aplogize.
The forum is such a useful resource and has so many well-stated opinions and research, I often don't have much to contribute in terms of high science, I have less time than usual for the analysis that I used to do, and I am not a real scientist anyway. So I contribute where I can, put threads in order, thank good posts, provide constructive criticism to others' masterpieces, answer newbies, give likes where likes are due, and so on.
What I dislike about the forum, and life in general, is when people get bogged down in politics. I've found a long time ago that discussing politics isn't very helpful - people will keep their own opinions, and science cannot help as there are no true answers. Tempers flare up quickly, and negative feelings last long after the discussion. The most I can get discussing politics is to map quickly where we agree and disagree and leave it at that. I have protested in the past against letting politics into the forum, to no avail. So when I see non-political threads getting bogged down in political discussions that have no chance of being resolved or of dying down by themselves, I have the urge to step in and "police".

You have written this: "Stupidest list I have ever seen on this site. An incredible amount of bullshit."
         https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,2996.msg253896.html#msg253896

That was uncalled for. I don't agree with that specific either but found the list very very helpful and bookmarked it.
Is there not a rule against bad language? ;)  There should be.

I value the general opinions and posts of both of you btw.
"It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly" - Bertrand Russell
"It is preoccupation with what other people from your groups think of you, that prevents you from living freely and nobly" - Nanning
Why do you keep accumulating stuff?

So you swallowed that too?

Have you taken to gargling yet? Drinking warm water because it became "effective for all viruses"? Avoid ice cubes in your Coke or your whiskey? Did you buy Cold-Eeze zinc pills "proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus"? Absolute quackery.

And then the assurance that a running nose is not corona? That is dangerous advice. It is desinformation, harmful to society, it could get your older relatives killed.

How can thinking people find such crap worth bookmarking? Why trust A-team's quack more than the WHO?

A-Team has a good reputation on the forum. Very sad to see he's throwing away this reputation like that.
