Cold on a Cob posted:today a friend and i went out for lunch. he was complaining about personal liberties* because ontario has proof of vaccination requirements for dining in restaurants now. i was kind of annoyed about his whining so i said something like "you ain't seen nothing yet, i promise that in the next decade or so we'll be talking about this as the good old days because one way or another our lives are going to get a lot less free thanks to climate change" I think everyone in this thread has probably had that conversation. "Hey things are pretty hosed" "What do you mean? Tesla!" "....What?" "Vote."

Look, you aren't allowed any more from your water ration today. I completely understand where you're coming from, but you only have 30L on your daily payment plan for the duration of Q3. No, sir, that's for Premium customers only. Let us know if we can do anything else for you today. Alright, I'm sorry that we couldn't help you, good night.

Buck Turgidson posted:the conclusion of that kurzgesagt video is a joke right? i watched it expecting a record scratch but it never came it's the principal skinner meme. "Could it be that the climate is hosed and we can do nothing about it?" "..............................Well we need to vote and advocate for better change" It is definitely progress though as the questions get more frantic and the awkward silences get longer. We are still at the point where people just choose the more comforting answer regardless of the real one.

Xaris posted:uh no because some percentage gets permanently absorbed into tissue; which they do find. throwing a bunch of hormonal/endocrine disruptors in a developing mushy fetus to infant is loving horrible; and even so for an adult got it, back to eating the babies then while they're relative low-plastic level in the meat

Perry Mason Jar posted:He really is a coward though, he kept following them. Activism is pointless, let's get that out of the way. Anyhoo, who cares if his own protestors die? They are taking that risk. They will die prematurely, as their children will, and they had no choice in that. In this at least they get to exercise choice. Who cares if an old lady died cause she couldn't get to hospital cause of protests? How many seniors died in England in the heatwave two summers ago? How many will die when the roads split in half, and loving nobody can get to hospital? I think he's a little squeamish for activism. He invokes Churchill and war but doesn't see it as a war at all or else doesn't know what war is. The old lady didn't even die

500 good dogs posted:since we'll all be eating bugs soon enough, have they checked those for microplastic? The world’s birds eat up to 550 million tons of insects annually, and every one of those bugs could be carrying around microplastic, according to a new study published in the journal Biology Letters. A team of researchers came to this conclusion after feeding microplastic to mosquito larvae and then observing how the plastic remained in the insects throughout their lives. Since microplastics pervade bodies of water where mosquitoes form, it’s likely that the insects, and many others, are naturally consuming microplastics in the wild. And that means that creatures who eat bugs could be getting an extra dose of plastic in their already plastic-stuffed diets.

I mean, I'm glad the video mentioned the marketing birthing of the personalcarbonfootprint meme but I'm annoyed they didn't go further and say BP literally planned it for years to, according to leaked internal docs, to literally move the responsibility on them in a very cynical and aware way.

Within our lifetimes it'll be intolerable either way; the difference is more about mitigating the risk of human extinction a couple centuries further down the line.
