Reply to comment by Haddonimore in The Greenland Ice Sheet is close to a melting point of no return by Vucea
The US has emitted more than the entire EU combined.
Remember, the industrial revolution started around the time the US became a country.

I feel like the US and China are a lot closer in that race than what’s being said there

Venus is the answer here.

This depends on where you live as well. In my country for example we're kinda oversaturated with trades.
This is a bit anecdotal but I suspect it's valid in other areas of the world as well

This video details pretty in depth the process of basically mining Venus for the resources we'd need to construct a Dyson swarm.
We could actually fairly feasibly build a swarm, or semi-swarm within our lifetimes.
>Where do we get the materials to build it? Nevermind, the world would never unite to try.
The first part I can answer. The second part? Lol, yeah we're pretty fucked.

"Think of all the wealth of minerals, ores and fossil fuels that can now be mined! There could be billions in profits to extract and exhaust!" - some dirt bags, somewhere.

Actually over the history of modern carbon Emissions England is still on top purely from the fact the started so much earlier in the industrial revolution

er... but it is often hot when it is sunny, so there is less of a requirement to heat your home.

People will give you different advices, but no one knows what happens exactly. Even I’m in the same boat as you. Do some research and see which domains take more time for models to take up. Let me know too. 😉

Meanwhile, in reality, 50 year old models accurately predicted temperatures today:

First: all rights are made up. Second some country have it in there constitution that healthcare is one of the right enjoyed by their citizens. So that's that. You being ignorant about them doesn't change the facts and reality of how people live. You may not like it but this is what peak human rights look like.

as long as one can earn so much money with cancer, they will not cure it even if it would be possible :)

Less than 50% is literally not the majority, it's a plurality.

Yes. I've literally pointed that out elsewhere.

Frankly if we ever progress so much that we have the technology for full scale space mining for the resources needed for a full Dyson sphere, we should also be able to make all sizes of fusion reactors, so what will be the need of a full scale dyson sphere if we would have already mastered fusion powerplants and could use them much easier to provide limitless power? Dyson spheres just sounds like a pointless fantasy unless we need to gather enough energy to blow up some other star or planet for some reason.

small temperature gradient means low efficiency in a heat engine. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot_cycle#The_Carnot_cycle
A "35% efficient steam [system]" is not a physical reality here.

Assuming your in USA, pursue something that requires government granted professional licensing. The AI may do a lot of the work, but a professional will still need to stamp off:
Trades Dentist Doctors Engineers (PE licensed careers) Lawyers (this one is iffy because stating your career will be next to impossible once GPTlegal replaces all entry level associate jobs in the next 5-10 years)
Careers to avoid as AI replacement is immenent:
Teachers Middle management Draftsmen Admin Assistants Supply chain managers Anything solely performed on a computer that doesn’t require a license or very abstract thought
