Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

You're being pedantic about the word "home" and whether they're fully 3D printed, and I'm not sure why. A home is a place where people live, and whether they have windows or doors is not relevant to that point. The point of the design is that they don't have to have those things, and they're considering ongoing problems like climate change; the western ideal of a "home" is actually an impractical design when you start to consider the environment as it is.

And yes, they have to infill the insulation. Nobody is claiming these homes are built without human intervention.

Are you just trying to find weird ways to shit on a thoughtful way to help people?

The things they have chosen as demonstrators have holes in the roof! They are not suitable as homes by any reasonable definition. I also think that light and security are necessary for a home. Certainly if you are trying to improve on an existing "subpar dwelling".

If they wanted to demonstrate how they can 3D print homes in rural Colombia, why didn't they print something that would be suitable to be a home in rural Colombia? They only had to load a different model into the printer, right?

Bruh, are you for real?

Do you think that these might be some of the subpar dwellings that they're talking about: https://southamericabackpacker.com/exploring-slums-of-medellin-colombia/ ?

No, I'm not serious. Of course they don't need roofs or windows or multiple storeys. I'm just joking about that stuff.

That's what I thought. Bye.
