i live near a us air base that does training for the c-130 hercules. you go outside and you can usually hear a distant (or not so distant) buzzing drone from their props i finally looked it up today and they use like 700 gallons of fuel an hour to stay in flight. just a single plane, and there's usually multiple up there buzzing around, flying in circles just to train soldiers so they can go fail to evacuate people and gear out of occupied nations. all around the clock mind you, since night training is important. i can hear one right now. no insects though. lol lmao

Minrad posted:i live near a us air base that does training for the c-130 hercules. you go outside and you can usually hear a distant (or not so distant) buzzing drone from their props I spend a good amount of time watching ADS-B and filtering it for military traffic. It's kind of like watching a fishbowl for me as an AvGeek. During Trump's administration, the amount of military air traffic active over the country in the very early and late hours seemed excessive. During Biden's it has noticeably decreased. For instance, for most of the past decade, the Army has been running a "secret" program where they ran UH-60 Blackhawks in "racetrack" patterns between Davison Army Airfield at Fort Belvoir, around/over Northern Virginia and the general Beltway area, out to Mount Weather, and back. At all hours of the day and night. I say "secret" because I lived directly underneath the flight pattern and when you have a UH-60 flying over your house at 500ft AGL every 30 minutes or so, it tends to get a bit old, and they also de-facto declassified the operation several years ago when asking for more money to keep doing it. Frequency of those flights has *noticeably* decreased. The C-130J is actually one of the cheaper cost-per-flight-hour "big planes" in the US inventory, even though I have to concur with you that the environmental cost is arguably more important at this point. For those who are curious: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ To filter military traffic (not everything is fitted to be trackable via ADS), click the "U" button in the top right of the map window.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Are we at the "it's too late to do anything to stop it stage" or is there still hope? It's always been too late because all the real solutions are politically untenable. Try to think the most milquetoast (but still at least moderately effective) measures you can imagine, and then realize that we need those done in like five years, but preferably yesterday. Nobody in a position to do anything is even talking about solutions even though those solutions need to be well underway. Climate change is a lesson in what happens when you always assume that reality bends towards optimistic outcomes, except we're all going to be too dead to learn anything from it. Not that we would have anyway, so lol.

There will never be a time where a warning will be issued that in "X number of months the state of California expects that it will unable to provide drinking water for residents of X town - plan accordingly." One day people are just going to turn on the tap and nothing will come out and nobody will be there to take responsibility for it.

One day people are just going to turn on the tap and nothing will come out and nobody will be there to take responsibility for it. We've been getting hints of what's to come with Flint and then Jackson Mississippi literally this year https://twitter.com/UniteThePoor/status/1370920559639457793 Media and politicians didn't care because black people and poor people in general are barely regarded as human, but what happens in the exploited areas doesn't stay in the exploited areas. And in the end most Americans are regarded as disposable human stock, so you're right, we're going to see the same game play out, just with a lot more bodies now. And we won't even have to wait till 2030 to see some really heinous poo poo.

bowser posted:https://twitter.com/ajenglish/status/1437630955456454659?s=21 It's a good thing that most of the methane in the world is emitted by the US/EU and not by natural plumes bursting through thawed permafrost or formerly ice covered ocean floors. So targeting a minor reduction in yearly emissions over the next decade in those two areas should make a huge difference!

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Are we at the "it's too late to do anything to stop it stage" or is there still hope? There is no possibility of averting catastrophic climate change that renders the planet unrecognizable and the majority of the biosphere, from plants and animals to breathable and livable ecologies themselves, dead. But if you're looking for a fight the ruling class is right now transforming you into a serf and the globe into their plantation. We are not too far from a world where only the privileged will be able to go to the beach, say. So if there's a fight you're looking for there's a worthy one to be had - however it only secures a better, more free, more comfortable dying. loving worth it to me. If I got like twenty years left (I believe I have far far less but nevertheless) I'd sooner be shot dead in 5 than spend the remaining 15 a slave.
