Pick your poison, this, sun turning red giant, supervolcano, massive meteor strike, or socialism?

Global warming is much less a threat than global socialism!

I love the Kurzgesagt videos. They do a great job exploring complex topics and breaking them down in easy to understand and entertaining ways. Thank you for linking this one here!

“The rotation of the Earth has absolutely nothing to do with the generation of heat in the Earth by the decay of natural radionuclides.”

He’s probably thinking of tidal heating, not heating from radioactive decay.

A valid point - but tidal heating generates only about 3.75 TW in the Earth. In contrast, scientists believe that radioactive decay accounts for about 20 TW: 8 TW from the uranium-238 decay chain; 8 TW from the thorium-232 decay chain; and the final 4 TW from potassium-40.

Apologies to anyone I pinged on accident, I've had to switch machines and OS and just noticed the Ping Lists file I was using was not the recent one I made, but a 2015 version that was hiding. Yikes.

My first thought was the story “A Pail of Air”.

I’ve seen it. It is OK. One difference here is that they PREPARED for it, though they could only save 10% of the population.
