'We've never seen this': massive Canadian glaciers shrinking rapidly. Glaciers in the Yukon territory are retreating even faster than expected in a warming climate, scientists warn Probably not good, but business as usual. Rising CO2 levels are dissolving the ocean floor Somewhat alarming. 9 of 10 worst polluted cities are in India; experts say children breathing the air could suffer permanent brain damage; air has 8 to 10 times the acceptable level of hazardous particles 90% of world's children are breathing toxic air, WHO study finds Doesn't bode well for society, but who gives a poo poo because: Humanity has wiped out 60% of animals since 1970, major report finds A bright start to the week indeed.

The gently caress? I explained to my dentist today how hosed the East Coast and Gulf are from global warming lol. She was blown away. She was like "well who do I vote for?" because that's how the conversation started and I was like "lol anybody that isn't a Republican, go join the DSA."

Voting for an establishment Democrat isn't really that different from voting for a Republican as far as climate change is concerned, neither party has any interest in doing anything meaningful.

There is something deeply dark and dystopian, and slightly macabre, about the idea of massive towers which raise and lower demolition rubble to generate electricity. There are three options in tackling climate change. Only one will work. Rime fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Oct 31, 2018 |

The Day the Great Plains Burned: Alerts had been going out for weeks that conditions in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas were perfect for wildfires. On March 6, 2017, the prairie went up in flames.

starkebn posted:you don't like hydro? how about a couple of these things at every town? When they demolished the Akasaka Prince Hotel in Tokyo in 2013 (where I used to stay in the late 80's, early 90's) they used equipment that recovered energy in a similar manner as described in your link. https://www.wired.com/2013/01/japan-building-demolition/ A Japanese construction company is using giant jacks and electricity-generating cranes to dismantle a high-rise tower in Tokyo, floor by floor. ---- I looked into this idea, digging a hole and hanging weights via pullies, and you need a lot of depth and a very heavy weight to store much energy.

Lets say the scientists are able to wizard up a new technology that removes all the green house gases from the atmosphere, and beams out some excess heat for good measure. Whew, climate change averted! Even in that fantasy scenario, we're still continuing to decimate habitat and worsening the mass extinction event we're causing. Conservation is a worthy cause, which relates to and can help with climate change, but is not the same thing as climate change.

I said last year that we should rename the thread to Total Biosphere Collapse , as that is the cliff we are facing and which climate change is only one facet of but a major contributor to. I don't see any value in human lives if we eradicate all other sentient life on earth, except that which is a financially efficient industrial food stock or pet, in order to sustain our species. There could be no greater crime.

Conservation is a worthy cause, which relates to and can help with climate change, but is not the same thing as climate change. If that fantasy scenario came to pass, sure, but reality is that Climate Change refers to a number of environmental changes that serve as stressors to virtually ever ecosystem and facet of human activity. As such, while the thread has a big focus on carbon emissions and correspondingly the domino effects of global warming and ocean acidification, it's simply impossible to delink discussion of the consequences of these effects from analysis of other contributing factors. Biosphere Collapse would indeed be an apt thread title, but even then Climate Change would remain the greatest, all-encompassing issue and correspondingly large focus of discussion until it's wizarded away.
