A singleton universe doesn't allow for multiple versions of a single moment to coexist. A closed timelike curve does, and potentially an infinite number of variations all as long as they are continuous in the same curve. It's also different from a proper many worlds theory with quantum variations. The relationship between causes and effects are mapped differently. Thus it's its own thing.

I've found a clever way to counter those folks is to say, "you might be right, and as the apex species it's our moral obligation to seize control and protect the natural order of things for as long as we are able to slow the coming of hell on earth. Just like our right to shoot guns. Yee haw."
Mankind is roughly 9 meals between civilization and chaos.
So we basically understand "weather" for roughly 8ppm of earth's life. That said, we can infer much amount about climate (not weather, climate) from much older archeological and even paleontological evidence.
Possibly the first internet meme to be referenced in a primetime TV show (Ally McBeal). I was a little too young to care about TV shows about adults but I remember my parents laughing at this, even before we had the internet.
Will end the current age of civilization? Most definitely.
Will it end organized societies as we know them? Probably?
Will the human beings go extinct? Probably not. Its not crazy to think that we'd face a bottleneck of only a few hundred million humans or less. But there are people all across the economic and geographic spectrum who are prepping. The rich will survive at their polar fortresses. The poorer will survive underground, or at high altitudes.
That's like fining a person 0.01 per day for speeding. The company sees it as a limited time only discount and invitation to do it a TON right now and get people accustomed to it, before the people who don't like it start complaining louder. From Facebooks perspective its a black Friday sale on Norwegian data.
So naive.... your bump was precisely necessary for the single unlikely Adolph sperm to make its way to the front of the line. You were always the nut-bumper that caused Hitler.
There is also type 3, called a closed timelike curve or Lorenzian manifold. Aka a Djinn: a loop in causality where the original cause depends on the final effect. It exists outside of linear time and yet is not a separate timeline or "-verse" in the multiverse.
Just finished binging the 12 Monkeys TV show, thats just variations on an oops loop. If you seduce Hitlers mom you'll just end up being the father figure he never met. If you strand him in Nepal then either Hitler or any Austrian who witnesses you doing the timey-wimey dance will just blame an international cabal of time traveling Jews for it.
The US courts are currently split on this. The 9th and 11th circuits hold that a business website must correspond to a physical business to enforce the ADA on them. The 1st Circuit has required fully online businesses to also have ADA accessible websites. There are exponentially more lawsuits on thus issue each year so expect the Supreme Court to address it in the next couple of seasons.
They start to lose integrity around 200⁰C or 390⁰F... we'll be dead long before our tires randomly soften to the poi t rhey deform.
But you're right that friction under even slightly higher heat means they'll wear out significantly quicker. Drivers might need to change them every 1-2 years instead of 3-5, as a hypothetical.
