Hypothesis:
Since the planet is generally cooling off since the height of the current interglacial period, sea level should be falling currently.
And observational evidence shows that sea level is currently falling.

There's literally no point to doing science after the 60s , all that was left was for manufacturing and engineering to catch up to the theoretical frameworks.
There's nothing new under the sun, we're just publishing more and more bullshit.

This is very important because if we finally realize that technology is dead and there's no more progress to be had we can conclude that corporations and silicon valley are stealing our money with R&D and contrived bullshit.

There's a weird misconception about an authority that the degree gives you. Like, you will watch some YouTube video and the comments will be like "he's not historian, how can he talk about this stuff", but, do they know how the things are in universities? Most of the people in my group in uni are fucking retards. There's like 1 guy who actually knows something. the rest don't even try. Recently I had to teach a guy what ethernet cable is and where to put it(computer science degree). You really would be more safe trusting an autist on YouTube who has a true passion for the subject, than an official graduate in the subject.

It is possible to rigorously teach yourself about advanced topics with no external structure, guidance, assessment, or the pressure of failure having consequences. But it's rare for people to actually do this, and it's hard to distinguish that person from someone who's just watched some videos and read some popsci articles and considers that "doing their own research". Especially if you aren't knowledgable about the topic yourself.

A relevant degree from a university with a decent reputation lets you assume a certain baseline level of "probably knows that they're talking about".

New article in Nature says that growing your own food in your own garden is bad for the environment.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s44284-023-00023-3.epdf
This means that all of the massive amounts of criticism heaped on conventional agriculture and farmers by environmentalists is completely unfounded. Does anyone else find it to be no surprise at all that the lazy pseudointellectual urbanite know-it-alls who have ample free time to spend pontificating about agriculture on social media sites like this one have absolutely know idea what they're talking about? No only are they too lazy to have productive jobs like farmers do, the urbanites are also too lazy to do any proper research before shooting off their mouths on any and every topic

Go to method section...

>We evaluated GHG (greenhouse-gas emissions) intensity per kilogram of fresh crop to compare between specific crops.

Exclusivly focusing on CO2.
No other environmental burden, such as pesticides and herbicides are mentioned.

Not mentioning the fuckton of wasted crops with "mass farming":
>As much as 40% of all food could be wasted globally when both farming and post-farming are taken into account

>https://www.wwf.eu/?4049841/fifteen-per-cent-of-food-is-lost-before-leaving-the-farm-WWF-report

Mass producing buld food, with extrem unrequired yield to get government subsideries.
>throw it away.

While small gardens do not even waste their crops. It mostly consumed or turned into compost to be reused.

CO2 isn't an "environmental burden"
CO2 is plant food, adding it to the atmosphere makes plants healthier and as a result it makes nature in general healthier.

Why isn't any country or organization trying to land a person on Mars?

It shouldn't be that much more difficult than landing a person on the moon, right?

Just scaling up that operation, dealing with the longer journey and slightly different physics/gravity requirements. Dealing with a thin atmosphere.

easier said than done. I dont think you understand just how vast space is. In 1 second, light can travel around the earth 8 times. It takes one second for light to go from the earth to the moon. It takes about 14 minutes for light to go from earth to mars. You see the kind of scale we're dealing with? How do you plan to get enough specific impulse in your rocket to get you to space with enough velocity to get you to mars in a reasonable time? Are you gonna build something outrageous like an 8-stage rocket? That's extremely fucking difficult, especially due to the rocket equation.

TL;DR we probably could, but it's too much effort and money for a project with no economic incentive.
>>

>Are you gonna build something outrageous like an 8-stage rocket?
no, but orbital refueling has merit since getting to LEO is pretty much 90% of the work involved in getting the deltaV to leave orbit.

>>16296382
ignore the difficulties of construction for the first ever mars habitat for the moment and imagine that it is actually done, and by one country

realize the literal shitstorm that will happen once it exists as every country and their mom wants to to use it, as traveling to mars is much cheaper than traveling to mars + building something habitable from scratch

imo I think everyone will just try to piggyback the first one once it happens (like the ISS but on steroids, cause its much easier to expand upon)
