i wasn't doxxed, but i don't enjoy reddit as much as i used to. it feels like an addiction or a distraction at the moment and it's surprisingly sad how often i am noticing myself think "oh you should take a picture of this and share it" or "that's a funny story you should post this", i don't seem to enjoy doing things for the sake of it any more and rather it's me trying to get reactions out of people, whether that's disgust or laughter. last month i challenged myself to take a week off reddit because i noticed i was on it too much, i lasted 2 days and then started coming back on now, so recently i just thought fuck it i need to be able to go more than 2 days without going on here, that's not healthy. i was going to write something more in depth but i really just need to stop coming on here for a while, i said a month to myself so i'll go for that. the more time i spend on reddit, the less time i spend doing other things and it's not worth it for me. i see people spending so much time on social media and said i never wanted to be like them but i have become like that. so ill probably make a blog/video/something in a few weeks just to talk about it properly because i think a lot of people will be in similar positions and won't be aware of it or willing to try and change.
there's a lot on my mind at the moment so i just need to step back and think about what i should do now.
Tbf, you're supposed to learn how to repeat what someone else told you with proper grammar and comma placement. But not even that applies to broadcast people, who are basically the lowest of the low.
Journies are the Jannies of the writing world. Better people do better things with their lives and their entire job is to put their nose down and write about the achievements of better men. They know they're inconsequential so they need to make themselves the focus of whatever they write.
Can a metereologist predict what the average temperature of the entire planet is going to be next year? Literally there is no one less qualified for the job.
Meteorology is a joke discipline anyway, they do more poorly than random chance and usually only have a job because they're the comic relief of some shit news room staff. Climatology is a real discipline built on objective scientific facts, meteorology is a pseudoscience.
so I had to look up the crystal thing to see if she was both a climate reporter and a healing crystal nutjob because that shit really activates my almonds as a geoscientist, that these people exist.
Turns out, she isn't a crystal nutter, but she wrote a big long fucking piece about the shady ethics of crystal/rock procurement for the healing crystal industry. Her takeaway from that, lets emphasize again that she's someone who is a climate change reporter and wants to be taken seriously, wasn't that we should educate people that fucking ROCKS don't do anything for your health beyond a placebo effect, but instead that the industry should do like what the coffee industry does and list points of origin and stress 'fair trade' etc.
Haven't found it yet, but this is isn't his first foray with internet dumbasses. You might even recognize who he's arguing with! Stay tuned for the journo fight.
Eh, kind of seems like the moid started the slap fight. He agrees that global warming is happening but then gives the foid shit about an article headline that mentions it? Kinda catty...
Probably because he's tired of half-wit laymen, like the foid in question, spouting off in ways that give ammunition to those who either don't believe climate change is happening (which is a retarded position), don't believe human activity is influencing it (which isn't quite as retarded but you have to give humanity at least a little credit for changing the environment), or those who completely agree but think the political solutions are dumb as hell (which they usually are). Take his comments on AOC, for example. Her "the Earth will end in 12 years" comment is going to come back around in 12 years, just like every other "the world is going to end in 'x' years" prediction has, and give people on the anti-AGW side of the conversation something to laugh at and point to when people ask them why they hold the positions they do.
Between those failed prophecies of doom and the fact that the environmental movement is full of watermelons (eco-green on the outside, Commie red on the inside) who are just using environmental issues as a means of attacking the evil capitalists, I often find myself skeptical of any of the plans put forward to address the issue. Most of "solutions" amount to little more than dumping money in NGOs and other international organizations for bureaucrats to squander, or giving money to dictators in backwards countries to keep their countries away from industrialization.
It's foids like this that make it possible for unreasonable people and complete idiots to argue about climate change. It's no wonder this dude thinks she needs to zip her smelly face hole.
No, the exact opposite. She writes for a climate change rag called The New Republic. With amazing articles under her belt, like Trump Tries to Gaslight Mother Earth.
By looking at the links in this sub, it looks like this guy has a right to be angry. Even at a basic uni level, it was drilled into us never to take individual events as evidence for a long term trend.
Only recently have I started seeing people claiming literally every weather event has been caused by climate change. This is the same argument as "look at this winter storm, so much for global warming!".
By misrepresenting how climate works, these people are encouraging people to be skeptical of the actual effect of climate change.
Sydney had its coldest march in 15 years, so much for all that global warming 😏😏😏
In all seriousness, even though we are fighting for the right cause - stopping climate change, we need to be accurate with our reporting as not to build distrust. Attributing something as mundane like someone spilling their milk was caused by climate change will cause people to question the science behind it.
You're not wrong generally but kind of a bad example considering extreme heat and cold are the two individual weather events we can most confidently attribute to climate change according to the graph the meteorologist cited
Her job's function is literally using that guy as a source of information for her content. The real reason that sexism exists is because of the behavior of foids like her.
I can't wait until AI makes all journalists obsolete.
So this is NOT to defend the foid at all who is definitely the major lolcow here, but this dude is a hack that basically has built a career being the right wing token 'expert' for climate change denial.
Your ability to fail to comprehend even the tiniest bit of nuance is astounding. Every time there is a major weather event he takes to social media to chide people for blaming it on global warming. Of course floods and hurricanes have occurred forever but the frequency and severity of both are increasing on a statistical level. He has built a career on obfuscating that fact.
"Extreme rainfall is still low/medium confidence and medium understanding -- pretty clear that in a warmer world, rainfall extremes will increase. But, attributing an individual t-storm or slow-moving area of rain to climate change is (currently) beyond our capability."
This sounds completely reasonable. What part of that do you disagree with?
I do think he could do better in the way he denies it though. And I really disagree with him over some things - for example he complains about a climate change group saying that global warming is more important than an earthquake.
But this is the first time I've ever heard of this guy, and really the only thing that I 'care' about is that the reporter was blaming sexism on an expert disagreeing with her.
