It isn't a deterministic universe, it' a probabilistic universe. Quantum theory makes no such statement. It states only that matter and energy is based on quanta, or discrete states. That is all it says. There is nothing about probability at all. Quantum mechanics does have theories that make use of probabilities, but cause is deterministic. The probability that a cause will happen at all is the only thing of discussion here. I suggest you study probability math, along with statistical math and random number math; and that you study quantum physics again.

Often wrong, never in doubt (refers to everybody, myself included). Ah yes! that is certainly true too! Human's have caused massive problems throughout history and come up with solutions to their own problems as well as solved problems not of their makings. I mean we largely defeated pandemics and plagues! That's amazing. You should check out Bjørn Lomborg. He's worthy of his own thread. I see he has just a few mentions here: Lomborg posts

It seems to me that you don't need to measure the environment, just account for the amount of fossil fuels being produced and also know that CO2 holds in the transfer of thermal energy from earth to outer space. Knowing those 2 things is enough to alert me! Often wrong, never in doubt (refers to everyone, including myself).

It isn't a deterministic universe, it' a probabilistic universe. Unfortunately, quantum mechanics is not science; it is merely mathematics ... statistics, in fact. You know this because when you want to know probabilities you turn to math, not science. Quantum mechanics is essentially statistics word problems applied to quantum nature. If the word problem involves something other than quantum nature then it is simply called statistics. How can you tell? Well, as you astutely pointed out, quantum mechanics does not predict nature ergo it is not science. Quantum mechanics cannot be run through the scientific method because it is unfalsifiable, and both falsifiability and surviving the scientific method are required for science, Math, on the other hand, allows whatever assumptions anyone wishes whether they hold true in nature or not. Anyway, science will tell you how a coin behaves when it is flipped but math tells you that there is a 50% of it coming up "heads." . I don't think i can [define it].

keepit ★★★★★ (2890)	"fight against wild animal". I had a fight against a bat last week. The doggone thing almost killed me. He's gone now but i just hope i didn't get PTSD from. I fought an offensive fight against it with a towel to the point of almost having a heart attack. Then i fought a defensive style fight which was much much easier and finally won. Right in the middle of the fight at 1:00 AM the lights went out for 7 hours. Try fighting a vampire bat through the night when there's no power.

keepit ★★★★★ (2890)	There's an antibiotic resistant strain of TB that is gaining prevalence. Your chart doesn't mention much about viral diseases from which we are still pretty much defenseless. A viral epidemic along the lines of smallpox or influenza would be catastrophic. And in some ways it would be easier to spread worldwide because of the ease of transportation by plane. We all know of some viral diseases which haven't taken hold but if some of them mutated to a more contagious strain, watch out. I hate it that i take the beware position so often.

tmiddles★★★★★ (3979)	keepit wrote: A viral epidemic along the lines of smallpox or influenza would be catastrophic. . True.

All of the effort from materials used, sprinkler systems, to the skill and tech of firefighting mean that we don't live in constant fear of fire. And people used to. It's awesome. You could say there are still fires and sure there are. But I count MOSTLY as a win because the world is never pure and perfect. Also remember that any "relief" from CO2 or global warming or whatever is truly theoretical. It's causing ZERO real issues today. The Earth has been warming for 12500 years. 6000 years ago you could have proclaimed "It's the warmest year on record and we've been keeping records for a 1000 years" and you'd be right. And you could find a disappearing island as the ice melted. I'm with you in agreeing it's serious and we need to be careful, and fight those who want to perpetuate ignorance of the issue like Trump. But there are other things far more important. Like curing cancer. A pandemic would be horrible in every way. No upside at all. Also no upside to feeding trolls, waste of my time too as I have to scroll through the dead space on the board to figure out where you have a post where you're not wasting your time.
