Replacing the entire MCU. The price for that isn't necessarily ridiculous. > Maybe not, flash is likely not the only component in there that has an age limit. The MCU itself should outlast the lifetime of the car in the vast majorit

> Today, it looks like Tesla will fix the problem if you're within the warranty, and outside-of-warranty repairs can cost $1,800 to $3,000, depending on your location. Tesla’s method is to replace the entire MCU. This is ridiculous.

> One of the problems cited: the temperature/CO2 graph probably came from an antarctic ice core sample ... and temperature leading/lagging there is different than in non-polar locations. Specifically, he points out that CO2 lag

> Yes, it usually boils down to selfishness. All lifeforms are selfish. If your solution only works on an imaginary selfless version of the human being, then it's not a solution. It's a fantasy.

> Instead, we have a lot of observations and modelling that allow us to run those experiments, and the weight of those say we have a problem. No, the weight of those say there will be an increase in temperature. Never mind that the weigh

> It appears that your "deal with" accepts mass migration, mass starvation, and civil unrest, as those are some of the historic ways humans have addressed things before. If you want to see civil unrest, just raise the taxes on

> You can do the experiment yourself with some children using a plastic water bottle, a thermometer, and a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. We understand this physics extremely well. If you can't see how ridiculous that sounds, y

> Are you quibbling about what "huge drop" means? No, I'm sincerely interested. > Without CO2 fertilization, effective adaptation, and genetic improvement, each degree-Celsius increase in global mean temperature would,

> In the past, temperature rises caused by other factors have in turn caused the release of CO2, raising the temperature further. That's your claim, but you can't actually derive that from the data. It may just as well be the c

> These are two different things, and taken together only implies a positive feedback loop. If it's a positive feedback loop, then why hasn't there been a runaway greenhouse effect in the past? Something must have stopped it. W

> Life adapts, when it can. The rate of change you mentioned ensures that a majority of life will not be able to adapt and it's not impossible that another K-T level extinction event is already taking place. It's also "not

> Past periods of high CO2 do not contradict the notion that CO2 leads to higher global temperatures. Indeed, it confirms that there is a strong relationship between the two. The relationship, at least in the smaller graph, isn't in

> The issue is the rate of change, which is unprecedented. Perhaps over some arbitrary timeframes within the measured record. On the other hand, a volcanic eruption can immediately cause a change of 1K or more. But let's say it is

> I’ve always found climate scepticism strange, because of its emphasis on refusing to accept the connection between rising temperatures and CO2. The connection isn't disputed, the causality is. Look at this graph: https:/&#x2
