    Dude, I have an aerospace engineering degree. Excuse yourself for making dumbest assumptions. I have not rejected any science. Are you like a troll or bot farm, or just bored? Yes, my partner was at a conference until last Wednesday. She’s no longer at a conference, but I’m not going to go bother her with this frivolous internet argument. Eventually, yes, we will talk about this conversation I’ve had with you. I have talked about this very thing in the past, and she has said we need carbon sequestration at this point to stave off the worst effects of climate change, but at no point has she said we have a scalable solution to do it, or that she thinks we will do anything. Her research takes a very pessimistic viewpoint that we aren’t going to do jackshit about climate change, so we are just going to have to try to adapt to it, which honestly, I agree with. Humans showed through the pandemic that they weren’t up to the task of helping their fellow humans by doing something even as simple as wearing a piece of fabric over their face.

    But, by all means, continue to make assumptions, and make yourself look like a presumptuous ass.

      Ok so you don’t have any substantive arguments but a lot more calls to unverifyable authority - your wife is welcome to take whatever stance she wants but if the core assumption of her work is that no solutions to climate change will prove effective then yes that’s useful for understanding those eventualities but it’s not a good way of evaluating potentially effective solutions or determinng what is likely to happen

      And yes of course I already know you’re going to claim that it’s exactly what she does and that she a triple doctor in advanced whatever helps your cause this time… Ok. It’s a shame she lost her voice and can’t help you provide any meaningful arguments…

      I’m in a poly relationship with all of NASA and they published a series of studies on the chemistry and economics of carbon sequestration which said carbon sequestration is a vital part of combatting climate change - though I’m sure your dad works for double NASA

        I already said what she does, climate adaptation. Why would I say she does anything else? You’re just being obtuse now.

        though I’m sure your dad works for double NASA

        I mean, I do. But it’s in a completely unrelated field to climate stuff, so doesn’t really matter in this argument.

          Ok well you’re clearly the world authority on this, shame you can’t give any meaningful arguments…

            Right… where did I say anywhere in this comment chain that I was the world authority on the subject? Did you want to have a discussion with someone, or are you just bored and wanted someone on the internet to argue with?

              I wanted a discussion but what I got was someone making up reasons they totally know I’m wrong but can’t provide any argument more compelling than ‘my wife said…’

              And who lets remember lied in the first comment and claimed to have read lots of research into this but has now totally backtracked from that.

                Where did I lie? Do you think I sit around reading research papers all day, or that I just read articles about it for the most part, the same way you do? I’ve looked up research on these subjects, and frankly, most of them are behind paywalls, bcz journals don’t allow people to access them without a subscription, or an affiliation with a university. So, no, I most just read paper abstracts bcz I’m not a climate scientist. That doesn’t mean I’m lying when I sat I’ve seen a lot of research on the topic. In any case, this is getting dumb. Have a nice weekend, thanks for wasting both of our time.
