There has been a 15000 thousand year trend, where a warming planet has resulted in more biodiversity on earth.

Where is the evidence that the trend is ending?

You climate guys crack me up.

15 thousand years ago Canada was under 3 kilometers of ice. Now it is home to 40 million people and covered in wildlife.

The human population went from 2 million to 8 billion during this warming period.

All the evidence points to a warmer planet supporting more life, not less.

There were no ice caps when primates evolved. I am excited to go back to the climate of my ancestors.
You just have to click the title of the thread and it will take you to the Reuters article and you will be able to read the entire story.
It is false advertising.

FTA: Musk and two local executives did so in a June 19 statement, acknowledging “false/exaggerated advertising.”

"Earth has experienced cold periods (informally referred to as “ice ages,” or "glacials") and warm periods (“interglacials”) on roughly 100,000-year cycles for at least the last 1 million years. The last of these ice age glaciations peaked* around 20,000 years ago."

"The causes of ice ages are not fully understood for either the large-scale ice age periods or the smaller ebb and flow of glacial–interglacial periods within an ice age."

Definitely.

It just makes no sense otherwise.

It is just part of the Silicon Valley lore. You know how all those successful start-ups were all started in big office complexes. It is just more creative that way.

It has been obvious for a while now that the optimal workplace was designed in the 18th century.

Why are people trying to turn this into a story about Tesla?

It must be quite the threat to get so many paid Tesla shills commenting on this.

A 2c rise in temperature is insignificant compared to seasonal variation. There is no evidence that this change would decrease biodiversity on earth. All the evidence points the other way.

Climate change will be a humanitarian issue. People claiming that it will lead to ecosystem collapse and a loss of biodiversity are just a distraction. They are taking time and resources away from the real issues.

A warmer planet will have more biodiversity, not less. It will be easier to support 8 billion humans with a warmer, more productive planet.

There is zero evidence that a warming planet would case a systemic collapse in biodiversity. In fact, 500 millions of planetary history shows the opposite. As the planet warms, biodiversity increases. There is nothing to argue about here.

This is silly, unless you think the earth will turn into Venus.

The majority of time earth has had no ice caps. Primates evolved when the polars where covered in trees, not ice. A warmer planet will support more biodiversity not less.

It is clear that the tax system does not work properly for work from home. All those office expenses are pre-tax for the employer but post-tax for the employee. Makes no sense, they are the same expenses for the same purpose.

Real world tests show something different:

"Every Tesla we've tested has failed to hit its EPA range estimate"

Elon hit 11 out of 12 milestones of his 10 year pay package in 2 years and then sold $40 billion of stock to buy another company. Seems like a solid buy here.

In 2021, Tesla pivoted to become the leading AI/Robotics company in the world. They had an investor day with a robot and everything.

Elon is the master of getting governments to support his businesses, so I guess not surprising.

I think it is because they hate free speech.

The book How Innovation Works by Matt Ridley changed my perspective on this. Originally I thought all innovation was like the dotcom era. Ridley attempts to show that there are times when it is not always clear what the final innovation will be.

I am pretty sure clear backpacks will solve the problem. I read about it on twitter.
