“the earth is getting about 300 terawatt hours of energy per hour due to anthropogenic climate change, and humans use about 16 terawatt hours of energy per hour”

Not sure if this is better or worse than the more usual journalist nonsense of measuring power in terms of nukes per hour. 😂

Anthropogenic. Bold statement. Wonder who was to blame during the Paleozoic Era? Oscillating from sea levels 200 m higher than now to extreme periods of cold. The Permian–Triassic extinction event had nothing to do with anthropogenic. Climate changes. Always has always will.

Can't tell if I got smarter or dumber reading that post.
