  • Even if we intentionally released as much co2 as we could all life on earth is not at risk. Remember that there’s a fair amount of life that is virtually unchanged since the paleozoic period when all that co2 was in the air. Beyond that there’s stuff that hangs out in volcanic vents, rapidly evolving life that can adapt even to rapid change, bacteria, molds, mosses and algae. And who knows maybe there’s even a small adaptable mammal or 2 that gets out and evolves enough for a second attempt at sapience.

    Don’t get me wrong the climate disaster is truly a unique and devastating extinction event, but humans are not so powerful as to leave the earth a completely lifeless rock.



  • +1 for the etrike, (I have a emmo tropic C myself) I find cars respect me way more in it and I can pull way more awkward loads not having to worry about balance. I found an electric anything ends up giving me way more exercise than a regular bike, since I’ll attempt trips I otherwise wouldn’t because of steep hills or heavy loads.

    Be careful the first time you go on tilted ground with it though. My instinct as a biker was to keep the bike perfectly upright, which obviously isn’t how trikes work. I turned into the slope and ran into a wall. XD
