  • Cool

    Injection of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere (and maybe other solutions) may, at some point, be a requirement for humans and the entire biodome to survive global warming. It won't fix it, but it may delay it enough for us to apply other solutions.

    But fucked up mtg of course wants humanity to die out so here we are

    It's amazing to see how many stupid people are out there

  • We donthat because we found that wide roads make people drive faster unconsciously. If you design roads badly, people will speed, it will be dangerous. Design roads better and you save lives.

    Putting up signs is what most countries have done for decades with exactly 0 results.

    A slightly different post had road fatalities in a graph for the US, Canada, and Australia, showing insane levels of road deaths. A secondary graph was added showing the Netherlands at a fraction of those countries, even though the Netherlands is much more densly populated.

    Wanna know why? Because the Netherlands does this all the time. Any time an intersection has a lot of accidents, they break up the damn thing and put in a completely newly designed one, and traffic deaths go down. A road has too much speeding? They'll tear out that crap, put in a new road designed in such a way that people will automatically drive the correct speed et voila, speeding stops, Ross fatalities go down

    That's why you want to do that

  • This is something that has been proven over and over. Make the roads smaller and people automatically start driving slower.

    Sure, thereay still be an eventually asshole but with the right design you could make a risky (for you) 80 in a 60 zone, but you can't do 100 because you wouldn't make it. That already helps curbing the worst but it's also a psychological thing that makes most people slow down to the speed that you want. It's much more effective than speeding cameras but it doesn't make money

  • Because its true?

    Barely anything had been done these past decades and the result is that boat loads of people now believe conspiracy crap over the actual truth that climate change will milk us all

    I fully expect that even less will be done in the next years so yeah, were screwed

  • I wish I could see this as a positive

    If it were from another country, I might see it as positive but with Trump's FDA I will readily assume that this causes ball cancer in women and clitoral cancer in men.

  • things like this have already been happening for months

    I read in Dutch news papers that Dutch scientists are working closely with their US counterparts to copy, save, and rescue as much data as possible

    It's such a sad state of affairs but then again, IDGAF. Americans chose this, deal with it. Your country is over, you're done for. Once you lose science and scientists, you're building your own end.

  • I get what you're saying but I'm not seeing this as "electric cars suck" but more as "we found another place where we can improve"

    This seems to me an issue that can be fixed with a few air filters which would require very infrequent replacements
