Don't worry, when President Corey Booker wins control of all three branches in 2020 on a Return to Normalcy/Carry The Struggle Against The Perfidious Russians Through To The End platform, he'll pass a comprehensive cap-and-trade plan that will solve all of this

VideoGameVet posted:Don't be so obtuse. So you don't have a suggestion of what you think is better to do. interesting. I'm concerned that just expanding renewables as is will lead to other parts of the world making GBS threads carbon instead of us and they still have that whole baseload issue. Sharing energy tech, especially if we invest and improve on it, could help mitigate that. Harold Fjord fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Sep 6, 2018 |

Here's one thing that's happening: California has an issue with occasional excess solar electricity they can't use. In a few incidents, they have had to pay other states to accept their excess power. http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-fi-electricity-solar/ Ideally, you would want some sort of storage system, on a massive scale. Maybe turn Hoover Dam into a ginormous battery. Well, that's happening too: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/07/24/business/energy-environment/hoover-dam-renewable-energy.html The truth is wind and solar are working out nicely. We do need to fix our grid, but the learning curve is reducing the cost of these and the storage solutions and they can be deployed quickly.

Goa Tse-tung posted:https://twitter.com/rebecca_wilhelm/status/1036971904115138560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Look at it this way, if the only tool ever used for climate policy in the US is the CAA we're hosed anyway. This objection doesn't apply to the new legislation that is needed anyway. The Clean Power Plan, while better than nothing (and honestly still did a lot of good) was never going to be the final say in US climate policy. And if the Democrats have the votes for a real climate bill, they'll have the votes to pack the court and keep it from being overturned too.

fifty-four flax seedlings have been gifted unto me by the wild pigeons of the lord. with the flax i will create a linen to clothe our starving heirs, and they will live in huts made from desert cypress wood and the skins of wild goats, and they will eat no meat nor milk, but only bread, wine, eggs and olive oil

Taking what has remained a miraculously dry-rear end open pit mine and filling it with clean water so that you can instead have two big toxic acid-rock drainage ponds in the middle of Joshua Tree just to generate some power is so loving stupid that loving fuckity gently caress gently caress gently caress loving dumb gently caress.

New global study reveals the ‘staggering’ loss of forests caused by industrial agriculturequote:A new analysis of global forest loss—the first to examine not only where forests are disappearing, but also why—reveals just how much industrial agriculture is contributing to the loss. The answer: some 5 million hectares—the area of Costa Rica—every year. And despite years of pledges by companies to help reduce deforestation, the amount of forest cleared to plant oil palm and other booming crops remained steady between 2001 and 2015. This seems fine. What do trees even do anyway?

i am going to cure climate change by inhaling all the methane and transforming it into manna through a complex series of chemical miracles that take place in my respiratory and digestive system (they are one and the same due to a medical abnormality). i will then poo poo the manna out from a great height. due to the sheer power of my rear end in a top hat, it will be ejected as a high-pressure stream of aerolised particles which will cover the earth in a sweet golden mist. the people and the animals will all gather around to drink and give praise, and i will die beautifully from massive internal damage, a martyr and a saint, my name written down in the book of life, my rear end in a top hat immortalised in the stars

Remember in those big disaster movies, such as Armageddon, where governments have a policy to keep quiet about vast existential threats which are most certainly going to kill everyone - in order to prevent mass panic and the ensuing breakdown of society before the event takes care of things? Yeah.

Yes, that's always the most fictitious element of disaster films, where the governments have complex plans to avert the catastrophe that they've been working in secret.

Well this USA administration certainly has no plan for the future, or the ability to plot anything without everyone immediately knowing about it and Trump is so dumb he probably thinks bunkers are just the sand pits on a golf course. Do you think Trump would make some Climate Force once his Mar-a-lago estate is blown off the face of the earth by some superstorm or whatever?

No administration ever has, and is unlikely ever will, because the necessary measures will be hugely unpopular and therefore it's easier to kick that can down the road. Still, there's something to be said about making token mitigation efforts vs obfuscating the issue and altogether cutting research and gutting preparedness funding.
