fwiw its not a very good video, it badly needs editing and/or a script. its not really anything new if you read this thread anyways.

I found the five stages of climate change grief part applied well to my own history on this topic and I hadn’t really seen it expressed in such a positive way elsewhere so I liked it for that :unsmith:

so what you are saying is that the world's largest carbon capture plant opening in iceland and not even being able to make itself carbon neutral means the problem is solved

Have a source to share?

These techno economic analyses are performed by researchers who work with and receive funding from industry and governments. They have a huge incentive to make it seem like things like DAC can work. Anyone who were to write "this poo poo is a grift" would immediately lose their access to funding.

I worked as a process engineer for a decade, and you develop a kind of intuition for thermodynamics and efficiencies of processes and things doing that. And it's not like you need to have done so to realize that taking concentrated liquid sunlight and burning it and dispersing the resulting molecules in the atmosphere is not a process you can just reverse without massive energy inputs. Its just loving farcical and all of these scientists and industrialists and politicians and news agencies gushing over DAC is driving me insane. It is literally just a way to convince us that it's okay to keep consuming, we will figure this poo poo out. I feel like a dumb teenager writing these "insights" but gently caress it's really not very complicated is it?

This is definitely climate related because this is how our "Most Progressive President" is handling increased flows of migrants when climate refugees are going to make these numbers look like nothing.

yeah, it made me think of that part in the op about reporting on disasters and unrest overseas, then reporting on migrants showing up but the closest conclusion/connection drawn from it is

We know it's a consequence of human activity, but just like with the thiamine deficiency across the trophic chain, we have no idea by what mechanisms is it that insect biomass is collapsing, because it's exceeding what would be expected from shifting temperature bands or ecosystem loss due to land-use changes.

We could cease all carbon emissions tomorrow and poo poo would still keep dying because we aren't even sure what is it we're doing that's killing the planet.

On that note, our future biodiversity loss estimates are invariably hosed because we just don't know what the gently caress we're doing that's so deadly to the biosphere.
There's going to be slight differences and the exact contribution is moot, but it's the culmination of literally every industrial-society activity. We're not going to stop genociding all of the biosphere; even if we can stop using X pesticide (we won't) there's about another hundred angles completely decimating something.

zillion tons of plastics (and growing!) are killing animals/plants and will persist for hundreds of years; illion tons of pesticides/herbicides are killing animals/plants; massive industrial pollution and routine oil spills near-permanently destroying every body of water; forest fires resulting in massive choking clouds of ash going global are killing animals; and massive climate-change induced droughts and floods are wiping out entire habitable ground surfaces and just having birds drop dead from it being too hot, and insects just burning away because even they can't tolerate it. acidic oceans are basically extinguishing most sealife; especially crustaceans and the like.

we can't stop, and the scale of cleanup required is literally impossible.

and a break here-and-there in the food chain destroy others ontop of the massive piles of poo poo we're throwing at them. there's really no magic bullet even if we can change out one pesticide (we won't) that wipes out say crickets for something that does less damage to them isn't sufficient.

And it's not like this poo poo isn't and hasn't been studied -- it has. But the problem is so multi-faceted and so many built-up and interlinked connections that it's not like there's a panacea to find regarding any particular collapse.

edit: A good edification is round-up: we already know that poo poo is bad and yet we keep using it massively. We know fracking brine is radioactive and yet we keep dumping it on streets and rivers. We know burning coal and oil is bad. We know producing gobs of plastics that turn into microplastics and dumping it everywhere for funsies is bad. We know logging is bad. We know all those mining operations for Li/Ca/Mn/Ag/ec are bad and dumping byproducts into water is bad.

We can have all the studies and papers we want. I think there's a liberal mindset that if we just Silent Spring, or we do a Watergate Commission, that we can hold them accountable -- just another study here, and another one there, and voila!

Silent Spring can't happen today, and it was a miracle it even happened then (and barely didn't), and it has sadly polluted the liberal brain.
