Capitalism requires consumption. If we all have EVs, solar, batteries and heat pumps, then we only consume a little. If that low energy consumption comes from wind and solar, once it's built it consumes even less.

The rich will suffer if there is no consumption.

I don't think most UK homes would have the space for ducting to distribute the air.

MVHR units with cooling in lofts might work, only distributes cool air upstairs though.

Aircon isn't really an answer to the problem though, it's not guilt free.

Those warm waters will probably make for warm winters too

And ocean acidification

Just because you don’t spend time thinking about it, or you don’t understand it, or you actively try to ignore it, doesn’t mean it won’t rip apart your world & destroy everything you love.

It. Is. Only. Going. To. Get. Worse.

The hotter it gets the deeper the denial. #ClimateCrisis #BurningWorld #BoycottTrump

Suggesting the spark gap is reduced in the heating season, interesting

To be clear this is satire 😎

It's not so much the wind turbines themselves that hit one in the eye, rather the huge red circles they put around them

Capitalism needs constant consumption.

You can't have people being self sufficient, how will corporations make obscene profits if they aren't selling anything?

Bitcoin will fail under the weight of its own inflexibility (sadly).

Calling a winner in the first 30 seconds of a game is unwise.

And if this were really true, any bad actor could simply launch millions of fullnodes and completely control Bitcoin.

If that was how Bitcoin actually worked, Satoshi need not have bothered creating it.

Do better research.

Essentially whichever group of fullnodes cry the loudest might sway the miners.

The idea the miners need to respect the wishes of fullnodes is utter nonsense, miners get rewards even if fullnodes reject the blocks.

There are so many things wrong with that, it's hard to know where to start, but I suppose the most obvious problem is miners don't know what a majority of full node operators want, because as I already explained, there is no way to measure that.

This can be solved for, but Bitcoin alone does not have the feature set needed.

If Bitcoins radically changes it's design, of course that can be done. The catch 22 being that no-one can change Bitcoin, because it's missing the features it needs to have added.

Therefore a world where Bitcoin has taken over will be dystopian, and a very small set of people will be in control of you and your finances.

If a majority of block creators agree on a fork, then weaker forks die and full node operators must follow the stronger fork.

Or they can give up the value of their forked coins, which they obviously won't want to do.

A Hobson's choice.

Only the block creators nodes choose the protocol and fork, and due to the economy of scale problem in PoW that always will tend to a very small subset. Significantly, pools separate most miners from that by another degree. The people who choose forks are a very small set.

Running a full node does not give you a say in the protocol or fork that is extended, and does not represent a democratic choice.

This is where your lack of technical understanding is failing you. All a full node does is allow you to validate your own local version of the blockchain as genuine.

Yup, and the rest of them holed up in an underground bunker wielding sharp stick-like weapons, roaming the common in gangs

Remember that gaffe with The Wombles of Wimbledon Common...

Yikes 😬

Or is your position that Bitcoin is not run for the benefit of its (current and potential) users, and that they shouldn't have a say?

In fact you hundreds of millions are a tiny minority of the world population, what if the majority of the world want to change Bitcoin, but they aren't represented, how will you know?

So if 51% of those hundreds of millions of actors wanted to change Bitcoin, how would you know?

This is not an unasked question, but it is an unanswered question, which is exactly the point.

It's the weather, not really hot enough.

These people get angry in the school holidays (so would you if you had to spend time with their kids), but it only boils over in a heatwave.
