This could be a challenging question for those who think that 8″/century of sea rise is really 21′, 1 degree C / century global temperature rise is 10 and 6 inches is really 12.
Distortion through exaggeration. It’s how the MSM and inadequate people think.
Living in Colorado, I’m sure you’re well versed in ice and hills. If the car is travelling downhill and hits a patch of ice at the 10 second mark, does the accident occur when car meets the ice, or when the car meets some solid object at the bottom of the hill?
The planet is not committed to anything at any time because an earthquake would change the entire path. A volcano at 15 seconds would cancel the momentum and an asteroid would end the slide at 11.5 seconds.
The wreck either happens in 10 seconds or we are discussing possible outcomes with varying degrees of certainty which are about equal to the toss of a coin! The problem with the AGW idea is there is no level of certainty but certain possible fantasies that are contradicted by historical evidence.
The statement was NOT if you do not stop you MIGHT crash so the promoters are lying by omission. They need to include the degree of certainty.
“If this car doesnโt stop in 10 seconds, it will have an accident.”
Like Erik at 6:29 am said, if the car is able to stop in 10 seconds, there will not be an accident. Not a very well thought out nor defined “logic” question.
Consider a tank that is filling with water from a tap.. in 20 seconds, the tap will seize beyond repair, but the water will continue to flow into the tank, and the tank will overflow somewhere beyond that 20 seconds.
I think that is what has been meant, but since the premise is flawed from the beginning, the point is moot.
see my comment on the previous post.
Wow I am usually not very good at this logic stuff!
The accident occurs in ten seconds.
That is cheating! You gave the answer away! ๐
I wanted to think about that one for a while! ๐
Come to Jesus moment for you Tony?

The accident will occur in 10 seconds if we dont use the 10-second window of opportunity to solve the problem – gimmi five
The accident will occur at some point after the ten second mark.
No, it would have to occur right at the ten second mark. Otherwise they would have the opportunity to reverse.

So the climate is on ice since 2000, sliding the planet into certain death and destruction.
I don’t know that I believe it, but that would fit with the “commited warming” idea in climate science.

It will happen when the West Antarctic Ice Shelf collapses and causes a Tsunami to strike Denver Colorado!
Or in ten seconds, which ever comes first!

Erik – Five!
ROFLMAO
Steven:
You were right to ask these really tough questions!
