I was actually saying it's not right for humans to eat humans. Its not immoral for animals, or in that example aliens, to eat humans.

This is no way can be related to climate change.

That's like saying it's okay to eat dolphins or monkeys...

Not exactly. Its just saying humans eating humans is wrong, but other creatures eating humans is not a moral issue. Rules about specific animals are additional rules.
replied 1394d
Yeah if the alien is a dinosaur or some other animal on another planet, yeah that will probably eat you, but I do not think aliens eat humans.
replied 1394d
Oh, wait, are you concerned by the reference to aliens because it disrespects aliens? Is this a belief that more intelligent creatures would have a moral obligation to eachother?
replied 1394d
Stop trying to troll me Sam, aliens aren't going to eat you.
replied 1394d
Why are you treating it as a moral issue then?
replied 1395d
One is a philosophical position on the morality of meat eating, and the other is a recognition of the data on climate change. We directly measured how much added CO2 was fossil fuels.

You should look up the Swanson effect, soon solar panels will be in the KW range. Emissions won't be an issue in the future.

It is parallel to "Moore's Law" that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles roughly every two years.

It's been predicted that by 2025 we will have computers that can think faster than the human brain.
replied 1395d
Sometime after that we will have a computer that makes decisions for the government. Kind of like a king, and so history will repeat again

Solar panels will never absorb more energy than the sun puts down per unit area. More likely never beyond 50% of that power per area.
