I'm so happy my wife and I don't have kids, and I feel sorry for all my friends. It was a fun ride.

Yeah! We can really rub it in their faces while we all die!

They are so transparently stupid and vile at this point

Maybe they're just secretly radically pro-Canadian. Canada is one of the few countries that's expected to economically-benefit on the net from global warming.

Unfortunately that’s the kind of damage that can’t be undone in 4 years.

The clowning will continue until morale hits rock bottom

Yes, but at least we have petroleum jelly to make it a little less painful.

I can't feel the cancererous tumors developing when I use solar and wind so it must be an inferior power source

A Harbor Freight solar panel produces 500 watts per day.

A coal plant makes 50 megawatts per day.

Therefore, fossil fuels are better. Checkmate, green energy!

They're gonna Blade Runner 2049 this bitch.

You don't need to, Canada gives it at steep discounts already.

Ehhh. I don't know.

So, a lot of fossil fuel built up the Carboniferous Period. Basically, you had woody plants develop. But it took a while for organisms to develop that could break down dead woody plants. So aside from massive fires --- which were a thing for a while --- there wasn't really a way to eliminate dead wood. A lot of it ultimately became coal.

But today, the world has those organisms. I don't think that it's really possible to reproduce that coal build-up again.

The Carboniferous (/ˌkɑːrbəˈnɪfərəs/ KAR-bə-NIF-ər-əs)[6] is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic era that spans 60 million years, from the end of the Devonian Period 358.86 Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the Permian Period, 298.9 Ma.

There is ongoing debate as to why this peak in the formation of Earth's coal deposits occurred during the Carboniferous. The first theory, known as the delayed fungal evolution hypothesis, is that a delay between the development of trees with the wood fibre lignin and the subsequent evolution of lignin-degrading fungi gave a period of time where vast amounts of lignin-based organic material could accumulate. Genetic analysis of basidiomycete fungi, which have enzymes capable of breaking down lignin, supports this theory by suggesting this fungi evolved in the Permian.[26][27] However, significant Mesozoic and Cenozoic coal deposits formed after lignin-digesting fungi had become well established, and fungal degradation of lignin may have already evolved by the end of the Devonian, even if the specific enzymes used by basidiomycetes had not.[25] The second theory is that the geographical setting and climate of the Carboniferous were unique in Earth's history: the co-occurrence of the position of the continents across the humid equatorial zone, high biological productivity, and the low-lying, water-logged and slowly subsiding sedimentary basins that allowed the thick accumulation of peat were sufficient to account for the peak in coal formation.[25]

According to the WP article, there's a competing theory, but even if that's the reason for coal accumulation, it still doesn't really apply to the world today.

You just have to time travel, he forgot to explain that to us, we're just ignorant and tech-unsavy people compared to him and his fellow

Remember how gas use plummeted during the pandemic and prices really didn’t?

They’ll just do that again
