Previously 'waterfront' homes in florida will be lifted onto stilts/pylons by their wealthy occupants and the land value will still be higher than the middle of the country so people wont leave. Every time a hurricane comes through the houses get ripped off and thrown into their neighbors, but the concrete pylons will remain and insurance will rebuild.

People on the gulf coast of FL north of like Sarasota are gonna dodge hurricanes and think they're impervious until a 185-mph hellstorm scours the coast like a belt sander.

There's basically nothing that can be done to prevent ALL of the horrible poo poo that's just around the corner. There's dozens of ecological disasters right on the edge that can easily wipe out hundreds of millions of people. Hothouse Earth making places uninhabitable, rising seawater deleting the coasts, acidification of the oceans, dead zones in the oceans, coral reef bleaching destroying local fishing, overfishing, depletion of aquifers, algae bloom, invasive species, the list goes on. We can prevent...some of these? maybe kick the can down to the next generation? But climate change and related disasters are going to gently caress us real good and it's gonna happen in our lifetimes, make no mistake.

Immanentized posted:Hope yall like protein slime. We'd be okay if 90% of the population went vegetarian. Food wise anyways. We can also turn around climate change if we treat it like WW2 level mobilization of industry and immediately stopped pulling new carbon out of the ground, and accelerated shuttering existing carbon-based power generation, starting with coal. We won't do that because we're loving morons. But the obstacle is not physics (yet). It's politics/human nature.

It depends. Cutting down on meat consumption would probably help more than eliminating it outright. Eating a cow that lived its whole life in your county is better than eating a ton of fruits and vegetables that were grown across the country. I saw a study that suggested vegan was only the 5th most eco friendly diet because some land is better suited for pasture and not using it is less efficient.

People in the far north, nomadic herding people's, etc, there's a lot of people who would still need to eat meat. Majority of the people on the planet though, the existing farmland can repurposed from growing feed for livestock to growing food for people, and with plenty of land leftover to reforest. Especially if you focus on healthy and nutritious fruits and vegetables instead of assloads of corn and soy (though soy is actually pretty decent as food for people). I would be curious if those measures of eco-friendly diets included how overfished the oceans currently are and how much more likely they are to shortly be extra hosed, though.

realistically the probably close to a billion people left on the planet can eat whatever they want because the resulting famine and the wars caused over it will cull things back down to manageable levels sucks for the ~6.5 billion that don't make the cut though edit: I work on the NOAA campus, those guys will tell anybody willing to listen about how scientifically hosed we are, poo poo is crazy

Managing livestock alongside regular crops is better for the soil and sequesters more carbon (in poop) than not raising livestock. Obviously feeding a bunch of animals with grain in feedlots doesn't really have any environmental benefits but everyone going vegan entirely would be worse than raising meat in conjunction with grains. Also as Bulky said there's an enormous amount of land that is far better suited to grazing than farming.

Still doomed to apocalyptic climate change, but nonetheless a better timeline all around.

I'm drilling gas mains/services used for heating homes/industry etc, not crude or stuff like that. It gets cold here in the winter and electrical heating is extremely inefficient and expensive. That's how I justify it to myself at least. Edit: im not doing production/vertical drilling type of thing, I'm a horizontal directional driller

like there is legit going to be places on the planet VERY SOON that humans straight up can't live in anymore either the weather is too extreme, the climate too hot, or there's no fresh water (either through saltwater contamination in aquifers or depleted ones) and within a few decades it's going to be a lot more than people realize we also have to worry about phosphates

Also as Bulky said there's an enormous amount of land that is far better suited to grazing than farming. Like, if livestock were just free range grazing and eating waste scraps of inedible parts of plants produced for people, no feedlots in sight, I'd buy it. But I'd guess that's also a world with like 5% (max) of existing livestock populations compared to how we do poo poo most places these days. Also, treat people poop (as well as veggie bits not eaten by animals) and then use it as compost.

I blame the heads of the companies that have brainwashed/slushed politicians into thinking that protecting the environment costs jobs because they're too turdly to take a small hit to their margins. Running gas pipelines to people's houses so they have cooking and heating fuel is a completely different story.
