What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

I'll bet there's a word to describe something being both genuinely hilarious and also chillingly accurate.

Those market based solutions have been around for 40+ years and have been wildly successful in fucking 99.99999% of the population and transferring their wealth to the overlords. Which was their purpose, of course.

Oh I know. The so called “free” market is an absolute shitshow of an economic theory that actively destroys all the things it’s proponents claim it promotes, like competition, growth, and convenience. But people are too stupid to understand these things at anything more than face value, and the elites know it, so this is what we get. It’s literally going to kill us all.

"Our simulations show that the most effective way to prevent long-term collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is rapid decarbonization,"

Send up a satellite to open an umbrella in space.
