Christian List explains it nicely. There is no contradiction between the idea of free will and the fact that our choices are part of the causal chains of natural laws. What we call conscious choice is indeed our choice, but it doesn't mean it's detached from the microphysical processes of our brain.

If Earth stays at its current levels of warming — below policymakers’ goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius — polar ice sheets may melt, causing seas to rise and displacing millions in coastal communities, a new study finds.

submitted 21 days ago • 86 comments

Scientists show that +1.5 °C is far too warm for Earth's ice sheets and will result in several metres of sea-level rise over the coming centuries, extensive loss and damage to coastal populations and will challenge the implementation of adaptation measures www.nature.com/articles/s43...

⚠️New study shows that even warming of 1.5°C is too high to prevent long term global damage from the melt of Earth's polar ice sheets 🌊❄️ @geogdurham.bsky.social @iccinet.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Dualists, physicalists, panpsychists all "share ... the assumption that there is a unified objective world ... in which all relevant properties can be found" - but consciousness shows this assumption is false, argues @clist.bsky.social - bit.ly/42BlN6k #philsky #philmind
