We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Climate scientists identified the reduction of SO2 as a potential contributor to record ocean temperatures last year. Some also suggest cuts in air pollution around the world could have accelerated global warming.
Glad our fanbase is able to travel to Boone, I will not be discussing this topic during tailgate however.

Re: Oct 26 Game
And shame on Combs and Church for scheduling this concert. They should just stay home a send some money. After all people will have to drive to the concert and power will be used at the stadium. And we should cancel the game in Boone. People will also drive to Boone and somebody might grill a hamburger during the tailgate. It’s settled, just stay home for the rest of your life and don’t grill anything.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2024 1:50 pmGiven the fact that climate change is mostly driven by carbon in the atmosphere and hurricanes are getting worse due to climate change I would like to see them due something that is a bit greener.

Re: Oct 26 Game
That is funny but since I am not sure if you are serious I will take the bait in case we have some who are worried about it. Climate change is real as we are going through some shifts in weather but not because of carbon in the atmosphere. These massive private jets cause 100x more of it than our cars do. If the people who preach it to us most would set the example and stop flying private jets that would help way more than anything you or I can do.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2024 1:50 pmGiven the fact that climate change is mostly driven by carbon in the atmosphere and hurricanes are getting worse due to climate change I would like to see them due something that is a bit greener.
If you do non-partisan research look at temperatures and weather over the entire life of the planet there have been periods where we have more intense weather than we see now. Climate related deaths are actually much lower than they use to be because we have adapted. The ice age was 11 degrees cooler than our average global temperatures today and the last glacial maximum was over 20,000 years ago. If you go back and watch the news broadcasts from the 70s up to now they always make claims of extreme things that could destroy mankind and it is always 10-15 years down the road. I could list more than a dozen predictions by media, Al Gore, etc and none of them have happened.
One good example is before we had any carbon emissions the planet had a massive super continent called Pangaea and they broke off to give us all the ones we have now. Could you imagine what the media would say if our plates were shifting a massive rates or causing huge chunks of land to break off like they once did?
The USA is one of the most environment friendly countries in the world. China emits more carbon by far than we do and if carbon is really doing damage then we should get China under control but many of our politicians are bought off by them so they won't.

Re: Oct 26 Game
I hate that Tweetsie is closed. I also know the owner is one tight-fisted person when it comes to money, at least based on having talked to a few former employees some years ago. Maybe ownership has passed on to a new generation.AppinVA wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2024 4:39 amhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2bWUNGg-ZQ&t=4sAppinVA wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2024 8:05 pmWell, Tweetsie is closed for the season.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2024 1:50 pmGiven the fact that climate change is mostly driven by carbon in the atmosphere and hurricanes are getting worse due to climate change I would like to see them due something that is a bit greener.

I was thinking of this actually as a rebuttal.

Agreed we have people that can read and research beyond what agenda the media is trying to push, and provide support for positions, it's actually refreshing.

Re: Oct 26 Game
Please don't confuse mass media that is going for ads and viewers, and now clicks with peer-reviewed science. And computer modeling and the science of has come a long way in 40 years. Everyone wants to bring up Al Gore. He is no scientist. Show me a recent paper or any paper that is peer-reviewed that has every mentioned a cataclysmic event due to climate change. I may have missed something, but what I have read has used the frog in boiling water analogy to express what is happening.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2024 4:04 pmThat is funny but since I am not sure if you are serious I will take the bait in case we have some who are worried about it.

The USA is one of the most environment friendly countries in the world. China emits more carbon by far than we do and if carbon is really doing damage then we should get China under control but many of our politicians are bought off by them so they won't.
As far as Pangaea is concerned. Please tell me you do not have a science degree from anywhere and certainly not App State. One, we had carbon emissions in the time of Pangaea. Volcanoes would have been the largest contributor but forest fires and such happened then I would think from lightening strikes and such. Those things still happen. And some of that is good. We do need carbon in the air or it would be a bit too cold for us as humans, at least as we exist now. We just don't need 421 ppm. Second, if I am reading what you wrote it seems you are suggesting the plates do not move now. They certainly are moving and large chucks will break off in the future if the speed and direction of plate movement continues as it has in the past. The horn of Africa is not going to be attached any more than Madagascar is now and it is the same diverging plate boundary making this happen from what I have read. But it is going to be slow and not noticeable by anyone not studying with high precision equipment.
I need you to define "massive rates." It was likely faster at that point in geologic time, but still not so fast that you would likely notice much, or any, change in one lifetime unless you lived right near a boundary and then had the foresight to place markers on both sides of the plate boundary. You don't likely notice the 1 m change in plate location over your lifetime, but it is happening. We have a ton of evidence at the geologic record and magnetic fields embedded in the rocks. If I misread what you were getting at with the Pangaea comment then you might need to elaborate.
I am going to start a thread on some basic science. I am curious how much the typical App State fan (and therefore likely App State grad) knows about some basic science. Maybe a few will learn a few things, and I know I will so it will be good for me to review and clarify ideas I have not studied as much of late. And maybe I am even proven wrong on some concepts. I can't be the only science major on YC. If I am wrong on something and someone educates me then all the better for me and anyone else that learns something. It need not be political so hopefully the mods allow this.
