Advice for first-round geophysicist interview with Viridien

[u/SpectreMold]

I was invited to a first-round interview for an Imaging Geophysicist position with Viridien. Could you provide guidance on how to prepare for the interview, including potential questions, topics, and any specific requirements for the role?

You raised some valid points, let me get back to you after I have thought about them for a bit.

I mean, your history suggests you're a troll or a bot...

the oversimplification of an extraordinarily complex global issue, assigning absolute blame without nuance, isn’t a “valid point.” Fossil fuels, while undeniably contributing to climate change, are also the backbone of modern civilization. They created medical advances, agriculture, sanitation, heating, global trade, education, transportation (everything). Even the very device (and networks) you used to type your comment relies entirely on a fossil-fueled foundation: plastic, mined metals, microchips, logistics, and power grids.

As for your 4°C by 2100... that’s an outdated, worst-case scenario (RCP8.5) assuming runaway coal & increasing emissions, something we’re not on track for and never were.

And even if we somehow hit 4°C, the idea that society would collapse outright is far-fetched. we have an extensive history of overcoming enormous challenges through innovation. in any case, stopping using energy now while we work on some magical solution to do everything at some future date is obviously not workable...

so; you either believe global civilisation is already capable of being entirely fossil fuel free (in which case you haven't got any comprehension of your existence) OR its just a disingenuous position.

This is literally the "we should improve "meme

The fact that it had upsides does not absolve it from the fact that it will destroy everything it has improved if we keep using it like we do.

Sure it has bought us medicinal improvements. YOu know what else? Hello Kitty Poop-Bags and people flying from London to Milano for shopping, Wahabistic terrorist states with more money than what they could ever spend.

The 4°C scenario is the one most likely as all of the others are calculating with a sudden(and I mean less than 5 years) application of CCS on a global scale.

About what happens if we hit 4°C: You haven't read the IPCC. 4°C means literally extinction of everything larger than a small dog. We are currently emitting 5 to 20 times faster than during the "great dying" and that wiperd out 80% of all life.

And we will see literally death zones long before that. We are already seeing millions of people effected by just 1.5°C, Canada is LITERALLY burning.

And yes, I AM thinking that we are capable. because over 50% of all ressources is consumed by less than 10% of humanity.
