But that would still put Earth on track to heat up roughly 2.5 to 2.9 degrees Celsius over preindustrial levels by the century’s end, the report found

Doesn't that still mean extinction of nearly all life on earth? What's with the headline saying "safe levels"?

I think we have underestimated how much progress has been made on killing the planet.

It was always self defense. Just not as justified as it is now.

Same here. Sounds pretty sustainable to me!

Of course the most productive comment is the least upvoted one. EDIT: After thinking about it, maybe it's best to add an explanation to bare links.

It's double speak. The translation is "We are evil and if you say something about what you see, we will silence you.".

Interesting, that definitely makes sense!

Actually, I like encapsulating global state in a structured and documented construct. But I guess I could see Java developers going overboard with abstraction in an imperative language.

I've recently come to appreciate the "refactor the code while you write it" and "keep possible future changes in mind" ideas more and more. I think it really increases the probability that the system can live on instead of becoming obsolete.

Actually one of the few languages you can learn in its completeness in less than a day, so I wouldn't really say it's "hard to understand". More like hard to read and understands programs written in it.

Das ist Doppelsprech für "enorme Auswirkungen auf die Stabilität meiner Machtposition".
