NOAA Report: World Labor Capacity Dropping Because of Increased Temperatures
pigrabbitbear writes with a story about some interesting possible effects of Global Warming. From the article: "It's a good thing that robots are stealing our jobs, because in about thirty-five years, nobody in their right mind is going to want to do them. Scientists from NOAA just published a report ... that details how a warming climate impacts the way we work, and the results are pretty clear — we do less of it. NOAA discovered that over the last 60 years, the hotter, wetter climate has decreased human labor capacity by 10%. And it projects that by 2050, that number will double."
it is just too hot ... I need my siesta break!
"It's a good thing that robots are stealing our jobs, because in about thirty-five years, nobody in their right mind is going to want to do them. "
I don't want to do robots now. I mean some people in Japan might. But not me.
Ah yes, my favorite was the reporter last week who seriously asked Bill Nye if global warming had anything to do with the asteroid near-miss.
What political party do you join when you don't like Bible-thumpers *or* hippies?
Obviously once it gets cold enough that also impacts how much work can get done since now all energy must go into just not freezing to death.
Sounds like an office building I used to work in.
That won't stop the ass fucking, it will just change the texture of the lube.
