I don't think the various lifeforms around at that point had much in the way of heavy industry. Anyway, carry on trying to "save the planet" if ya like, we all know the planet will adapt better and faster than we will. Sabreseven fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Sep 7, 2017 |

HycoCam posted:Toys R Us has the Infinity 3.0 at 50% off the $19.95 price tag. Tried to get it for the daughter only to be told she hates Star Wars. Massive My Little Pony Movie standee right next to the Infinity stuff, "Dad, when will you get me that movie?" I guess it could be worse--she could have told Star Citizen wasn't a scam. At least it was your daughter asking and not your 34 year old son that still lives at home.

It's like two guys said: 1: So uh how do we cook this stuff? 2: I don't know. I guess you probably want to do this. 1: Got it.. anything else? 2: I don't know. I guess this or something? Maybe put it on like a rock or something? I don't know. Did you write all this down? 1: Yep! Lets print it!

The Titanic posted:Also for all the people in the path of the hurricane or any hurricane in the future, and you just think you can tough it out: had I stayed in my house I'd be totally dead right now. And I was like a half mile inland away from the ocean.  When I was a kid, we took a direct hit from Hurricane Frederic (79). Lived in a mobile home in lower Alabama, and couldn't afford to leave the area and my dad thought it was no big deal anyway. 2+ weeks without power or water (and eventually food ran low). Resorted to purifying water with bleach and thankful for a bologna sandwich from the Salvation Army relief trailer. I learned my lesson, and hope no one else has to learn the same way I did.

aleksendr posted:Absolutely, those 400 carbon dioxide ppm in the athmosphere are a completely natural phenomenon that the planet goes trough all by itself. No industrial revolution at work here. As he says, there are some weird people in the world. The completely natural liberation of CO2 from fossilized plants was _bound_ to happen once a hot enough meteor hit enough coal seams. I'm skeptical of the entire remediation effort so far because it's a field that gets muddied by the bullshit 'welp, nothing we can do' crowd on multiple levels of society, but I tend not to engage them because their ignorance is not my problem. I make my plans and work on my risk assessments, which mean that I'll be getting out of Florida for good within the decade, hopefully selling high to some loving idiot that thinks that the current CO2 levels are a natural cycle. Might be worth reading about the relative history of Venus to understand what can happen with a chemical cascade following high temperatures. Anyone that's attempted to maintain a relatively small balanced environment - like say an aquarium - knows there's a complex interplay of things that can absolutely gently caress whatever balance you might be trying to achieve. This even happens in the wild when we have fishkills and red tides, but don't you worry, the apex predator will figure out a way, once we've gotten over the whole confusion of the lightly invested. Seriously, very basic thermodynamics, get a box, cover one end in glass, shine a light, and the box heats up. The wavelength of light is changed on the way in and becomes redder; this is literally the greenhouse effect. A few things act like the glass - CO2, Methane, water vapour - the latter is more a forcing because enough water vapor also stops heating. CO2 is the one we've been producing in industrial amounts since the 1970s; Methane is the thing locked up in the melting tundra and permafrost in Siberia. It's happening, and it's possible to moderate it to preserve life on earth. Oh, Hav, that's just hyperbole. No, life on earth requires a fairly narrow band of temperatures to survive - you can bang on about Dinosaurs needing more CO2, but we don't have a lot of them around because their environment changed in a couple of decades due to the KT boundary event. We've seen global temperatures rise by nearly two degrees IN MY LIFETIME. And we're not even really slowing the production of CO2, Methane is being liberated (and undercounted - the gas escape a couple of years back put a _percentage_ of global methane into the atmosphere) and I still read people minimizing how bad this poo poo can get while I'm sitting in the path of something that people have been batting around as a 'Cat 6'. I understand that the argument is tedious; hell, I bore myself trying to explain very basic thermodynamics to people, but we're heading towards annihilation of life on Earth through pig ignorance. My part in the derail is over at least. Gonna go tape up my windows and continue to ask Vishnu to level Mar-a-Lago and 1495 Ocean Blvd.

Sabreseven posted:Yeah because a couple hundred years of human industry has changed billions of years of planetary activity. Like how we not nearly killed the whales ? Or how we absolutely not made the Dodo bird dissapear ? Or maybe how we absolutely not emptied the Aral Sea. Yes, the earth will carry on without us for millions of years after the sun make it a flash boiled ball of dirt, but i would prefer for it to stay habitable for the next few millenia. Being intelligent enough to gently caress it up mean we are also intelligent enough to preserve it, and its our moral imperative to do so.

And while on vacation he slipped into a dream and had a vision that Star Citizen should also include a full 3 hour cinematic movie release, a 14 episode tv show, it's own book series written by by George R.R. Martin but George must make it sci-fi, and a Star Citizen theme park developed on 85 acres of land he will be offering to paying backers to fund: just outside of Monaco. Minor point, but George RR Martin has written sci fi.

I know you all are all excitable. But it's really not that big a deal. This is not Houston. It's not on some arid land on a dry river bed that will collect all the overflow and funnel it into town. The entire state is a porous aquifer. The only people who need to worry are the ones who had their buildings constructed during the unregulated Cuban mafia building craze years. And all of those lots their roofs/walls last hurricane.

There were so many little things wrong with that diagram. In a diagram explicitly pointing to poo poo and telling you what it is, they come out of nowhere with a past participle "inclined" to describe the orientation. It's the wrong word to use, it's in the wrong place and it's function is out of place in the diagram. That's top notch.

There is a lot of crying wolf about storms (and ELEs) but a cat 3 near miss and a cat 5 direct hit or even near miss are so entirely different. If this model is right, this is a big loving deal.
