I think there’s much to be said about Oppenheimer. He was almost like a Demi god. Someone who had a sort of super power to know what wasn’t concretely known at that time. I love that that he read books on philosophy such as Bhagavad Gita in which he famously states “And now I am become death; destroyer of worlds.” As someone who follows in the footsteps (or perhaps lurks in the shadow of his greatness), I admire him not only because he had a sense of duty to his country but also a duty to mankind. A duty to warn mankind of the power of science. My mentor has written that our progression in science and technology is hardly comparable to our progression in morality. We live in a time of exponential progress. Every year there seems to be new ‘things’ for consumers.’ These advances have left us wanting more but feeling less about the sort of social and environmental impacts we are having

@@princesssweetpea9205 He caught on to the science of climate change in the 50s. Some people still haven’t - or are actively denying it. There was no way for anyone to have a clear timeline of how the glaciers on Greenland and Antártica would raise sea levels, just that such a melt would be catastrophic. From Bard: The timeline for global climate change to melt the glaciers on Antarctica and Greenland is uncertain, but it is happening much faster than previously thought. A new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change found that two-thirds of the world's glaciers are on track to melt out of existence by the end of the century if current climate change trends continue. The study, which was conducted by an international team of scientists, analyzed data from over 100,000 glaciers around the world. The researchers found that the glaciers are melting at an average rate of 0.3 meters per decade. This rate of melting is three times faster than the rate observed in the 1960s. The melting of the glaciers is having a significant impact on sea levels. The study found that the glaciers are currently contributing about 0.2 millimeters per year to sea level rise. This is expected to increase to 0.8 millimeters per year by the end of the century. A rise in sea levels of 0.8 millimeters per year may not seem like much, but it can have a significant impact on coastal communities. A rise of just 1 meter could displace millions of people around the world. The good news is that there is still time to act to prevent the worst effects of climate change. The study found that if greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, the rate of glacier melting can be slowed. By reducing emissions, we can help to protect our planet and the communities that live on it. Here is a table showing the estimated sea level rise by 2100 under different scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions: | Scenario | Sea level rise (in meters) | |---|---|---| | RCP 2.6 (low emissions) | 0.26 | | RCP 4.5 (medium emissions) | 0.54 | | RCP 8.5 (high emissions) | 1.24 | RCP stands for "Representative Concentration Pathway." It is a scenario that describes how much greenhouse gas emissions are likely to be in the atmosphere in the future. The lower the RCP number, the lower the emissions. The sea level rise estimates in the table are averages. The actual sea level rise will vary from region to region. Coastal communities that are already below sea level are most at risk. It is important to note that these are just estimates. The actual sea level rise will depend on a number of factors, including the rate of greenhouse gas emissions, the amount of ice that melts from the glaciers and ice sheets, and the natural variability of the climate. However, even the low-emissions scenario would result in a significant amount of sea level rise. This is why it is so important to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions now.

@joepanzica

I asked Bard if Manhattan would be inundated if all the earth’s glaciers should melt. The response: Yes, if all of the earth's glaciers melted, Manhattan would be inundated. The US Geological Survey estimates that if all the ice on earth melted, sea levels would rise to 230 feet. Most of Manhattan is only about 33 feet above sea level, so even a small rise in sea level would put the city at risk of flooding. In fact, NASA's flood maps show that if sea levels rise just 20 feet, most of Manhattan would be underwater. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are the largest contributors to global sea level rise. The Greenland ice sheet is currently melting four times faster than it was in 2003, and it already contributes 20% of current sea level rise. The Antarctic ice sheet is melting even faster, and it is now contributing 30% of current sea level rise. The melting of glaciers is a serious threat to coastal cities around the world, including Manhattan. If we don't take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, sea levels will continue to rise, and eventually Manhattan and other coastal cities will be submerged.

@joepanzica

11 ай бұрын

At the current melting rate of the earth’s glaciers, how long would it take before Manhattan would be inundated without building massive sea walls? Interesting Reply: The current melting rate of the earth's glaciers is about 0.25 inches per year. This means that the sea level is rising at a rate of about 0.12 inches per year. If this rate of sea level rise continues, it would take about 2,500 years for Manhattan to be inundated without building massive sea walls. However, it is important to note that the melting rate of the glaciers is accelerating. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that the sea level could rise by 12 inches by 2100. If this happens, Manhattan could be inundated within a few hundred years. It is also important to note that sea level rise is not the only threat to Manhattan. The city is also vulnerable to storm surges, which are large waves that can be caused by hurricanes and other storms. A storm surge of just 6 feet could inundate much of Manhattan. In order to protect Manhattan from the effects of climate change, the city will need to take a number of steps. These steps include building sea walls, elevating infrastructure, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Here are some specific steps that Manhattan could take to protect itself from climate change: Build sea walls to protect the city from flooding. Elevate infrastructure, such as roads and buildings, to protect them from flooding. Develop a plan to evacuate the city in the event of a major flood. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions to slow the rate of sea level rise. By taking these steps, Manhattan can help to protect itself from the effects of climate change.

@@bedminsterericso many Americans do not understand this and the terrible sacrifice our WWII soldiers such as your grandfather ( and mine too ) made so we could be here. The invasion of Japan would have almost certainly cost us a million + soldiers. The bomb was by far the lesser of the two evils. For anyone out there that’s a Jew hater ( and I’m Christian ) they are truly ignorant not to comprehend it was a Jew that ended up saving so many of our soldiers and beat the Nazis in the race to develop the bomb. The truth IS the truth.

Americans are good at excusing their own war crimes against innocent civilians, even 50+ years later. If it would be done by USSR, China or any 'unfriendly' country or even terrorist organization they would call this great crime against humanity, liberty and democracy. Big hypocrisy.

They could have just formed a blockade/embargo like they have done with Cuba. Several of the generals at the time felt the Bomb was not needed. One of the reasons the Japanese were so hawkish against its neighbors was for natural resources which they had very little of. Oil, coal, rubber even food was co-opted from China, Philippines, etc. American bombers were pulverizing the island nation. They had no defenses and did not have the capacity to rearm themselves. Isn't reported somewhere the Japanese conditional surrender term was that the Emperor be allowed to remain on the throne? He was not calling the shots in the war but a separate system of military men. We see a repeat of lack our refusal to act diplomatically in conflicts around the world were the U.S. preferably likes to impose it might on an opponent.

1 million is a very low number it would most likely be in the millions and Japanese civilians and soldiers would be in the tens of millions, Japan didn’t even want to surrender after both bombings until the Soviets declared war on them and began an invasion of their own that they surrendered.
