tripe

gimme a fucking break dude

a few million years ago, the earth wasn't the same as it is today. for all we know it was probably uninhabitable by humans. we don't live a few million years ago, we live right now. there were periods of time where there was no oxygen in the atmosphere, does that mean the earth was "fine" back then? it certainly wasn't fine for humans to be living back then.

co2 has gone from about 300 to over 400 ppm in 60 years (when we started measuring it), that's about a 33% increase in 60 FUCKING YEARS. humans have been around for far longer than that. what do you think it's going to mean for us when we've been doing this for another 100 years? how about another 2000 years, assuming we make it that far?

also those numbers about what the percentages of greenhouse gases and whatnot you posted are essentially fabrications

Let me ask you a very important question if you are concerned about these matters: what exactly should be the average temperature of the planet? Consider, as you know, the earth has radically shifted temperatures in the past, even in recent times. Check out the medieval warming period, for instance. Are we going to spend our existence constantly fighting mother nature forevermore?

Also, for all these people pushing climate change alarmism, how come almost none of them recommend a robust switch to nuclear? I'll tell you why: there is no money in it for the hucksters.

AOC, the genius behind the totally-not-insane Green New Deal, equates weather to climate and gets called out for it. Lemme guess, was it another "joke"? Lol

So what type of system did they use to make this phone call in 1969 via light waves through space 2500000 miles away? How did they power the equipment to transmit this phone call? What battery power did they use to transmit this immense signal. Live video in 1969 from 250000.

Radio waves you fucking idiot.

The delay for Earth-Moon communications is about 1.25 second (distance is ~ 380,000 km, the speed of light is ~300,000 km/s). You'd notice this delay only in conversations: every time ground control says something, it takes 2 seconds for the astronauts to respond.

In this video of the live broadcast (at 1:13:35) you can hear the delay: ground control says "go for depressurization", then you hear the echo of that coming back from the Moon, and the astronauts' response.

Some modern presentations of the moon landing will edit out the gaps created by the communication delay to make conversation sound more natural, but if you look at the timestamped transcripts, you can verify the 2.5 second round trip delay. Note that the timestamps all refer to the time the Earth-side recording occurred, so the radio delay appears when one of the crew members (CMP, CDR, LMP in the transcript) is responding to the Capcom (CC).
