Show me a man with a certain strategy for dealing with the future and I'll show you a fool. -- nm - Ender Dec 8, 11:52 3
- the parajumper at 500 feet having a stategy to pull the cord is a fool? - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:55 2
  - The parajumper who is certain the chute will deploy properly is a fool. -- nm - Ender Dec 8, 11:57 1
    - thats true heck jumping from a perfectly operation plane is foolish - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 12:00
'Consensus' or no, nothing about the environment, climate, or meteorology is 'certain'. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 11:49 12
- and thats not what were talking about but the adaptation to effects of climate - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:53 6
  - I don't think there is anything in the climate or the effects thereof that can be extremely precisely predicted. - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:00 5
    - the effect of rising waters can and the effect of more CO2 in the athmosphere can too (but to a less certain degree) - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 12:02
    - so any attempts to adapt to an uncertain future might prove utterly fruitless -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 12:01 3
      - or vice versa actually - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 12:04
      - Just as any attempts to prevent the climate from changing might prove utterly fruitless... -- nm - Ender Dec 8, 12:02 1
        
        sure they might - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 12:05

  - So, calling something 'uncertain' is hardly damning when everything is uncertain. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 11:58 3
    - the lestest estimate is 85% certainty they humans a cousing global warming and climate change -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 12:06 1
      - 85% certainty is like saying 85% pregnant. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:12
