<p>Cows and other animals involving factory farming are the least endangered species on the planet. There is literally zero effort to eliminate cows from the gene pool, except by activists who want to see these animals fend hilariously ineffectively for themselves in the wild. Their predators and their reliance on humans would ensure the genocide you speak of would actually happen.</p>

<p>Nah, it's just that large companies have a lot of smaller companies inside it losing money.<p>Without the safety net of the larger company these companies would go bankrupt in the real world and not exist.<p>Star developers mostly have figured out which teams are / are not going bankrupt and direct their internal business to those teams / figure out how to couch a problem in terms that make it seem like it should be given to a team not going bankrupt.<p>eg. If your web team is shit, but app team is rock stars then the UI should be an app, to prevent the web team from getting the job add a feature such as something with the camera/gps that makes it feel app ish.</p>

<p>So you theorize that all airlines will implement completely random fees for baggage so no one has any idea what a flight will really cost...<p>It seems that at best there will be a small amount of information asymmetry and that should the randomness of bag prices get too bad, someone will be incentivized by the market to publish bag prices.<p>At worst, it will lead to something like GasBuddy where consumers input what flight they took and how much the bag cost.<p>The idea that the market for airlines will completely break down because there is no regulation on bag fees seems a little... far fetched.</p>

<p>1992 because it's the first report.<p>Here's a decent summary: 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_hiatus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_hiatus</a><p>'climate is classically averaged over 30-year periods.[5]'<p>'Publicity has surrounded claims of a global warming hiatus during the period 1998–2013. The exceptionally warm El Niño year of 1998 was an outlier from the continuing temperature trend, and so subsequent annual temperatures gave the appearance of a hiatus: by January 2006, it appeared to some that global warming had stopped or paused.[2] A 2009 study showed that decades without warming were not exceptional,[6] and in 2011 a study showed that if allowances were made for known variability, the rising temperature trend continued unabated.'<p>Essentially in 5 years we'll have enough data to confirm / deny the 1992 predictions, currently it's an unproven theory because of a lack of forward data. We're essentially using consensus as a proxy for a falsification of the null hypo</p>

<p>I understand the math, they have a bunch of simulations that produce wildly different results, they average these and make predictions based on a number of models running a number of simulations. The predictions have so far yet to have come true. (Although temp is rising, it's not to the degree predicted by the average of the models, despite there being more CO2 than the models were given input for, obviously the average of models are inaccurate. )<p>I believe it's not happening to the degree the IPCC said it was in 1992 which is why in the 2000s they observed a warming 'hiatus'. This is why people talk about consensus rather than data, or falsifications of the null hypothesis.</p>
