Pryor on Fire posted:Methane is a way stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, like 30x so even if you magically solve carbon we're still hosed because higher temps accelerate natural methane production and people seem to love beef if you switch to a vegan diet you can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the meat industry which does nothing in the face of thawing methane deposits in the warming, acidifying, oceans. Anyway, I keep up with the news. Carbon is the problem. We just opened the world's largest carbon capture plant. 1/10,000,000th of the way to being carbon neutral baby.

Why does global warming happen? Radiation bouncing around. How will it be solved? Bouncing it outta here. Sulfur/umbrella crew ftw

I forget that series where the sun is dying and the planet is gonna turn into an ice ball so they have a huge focusing array that melts a corridor along the equator, but it's getting smaller and smaller as the tech degrades and falls more and more out of orbit. Anyway, we're gonna have that except the opposite lol.

I think millions of LEO bombs made to disperse mylar would be the best solar shield we could hope for, with the added benefit of trapping us all down here

Iron Crowned posted:The doomsday clock is like 20 Minutes after midnight if we're being real isn't it? nah, the doomsday clock was created with midnight representing full nuclear war so until someone does it we wouldn't be there an actual doomsday clock? yeah, way past time. Everyone has just agreed collectively to go to concerts and on vacations and not look at it or think about it for as long as possible.

We could use our orbital worker drones on the solar shade but I'm concerned we are working toward a Battlestar Galactica situation if we make them mine space minerals and do a bunch of stuff with Tesla AI installed

Bitcoin transactions used 301,369,863.01 kilowatt hours of energy today. You probably got more than my tree. I'm on month 10 of Ice-cold showers though. That will save roughly $90 of electricity.

So uh, how would ecosystems react to lowering solar flux a few % with a solar shade? I suspect darkening the skies would have other effects u know

presumably you would design a shade that could alter the regions that you are shading every day or something to make it not as impactful locally.

I like to imagine that mankind's last major achievement will be a breakthrough in quantum computing, such as to almost spawn our own version of "Deep Thought" from Hitchhiker's, asking it if there's ~anything~ we can do to save ourselves and all we hear, in Helen Mirren's voice, no less, is: "lol...lmao."

it's literally "im gonna count to three, and unless someone ~does something~, you're all in big trouble!" they're even doing the "two and a haaaaalf. two and three quaaarrrrterssss" thing now, with 30s increments. and it was started by the people who invented the nuclear bomb lol lmao.

They love loving with the symbolic clock because 1) it gets them press, and 2) they have a party after every time they gently caress with the imaginary clock. As Doctor Manhattan said: "I would only agree that a symbolic clock is as nourishing to the intellect as a photograph of oxygen would be to a drowning man."

Blockade posted:So uh, how would ecosystems react to lowering solar flux a few % with a solar shade? There would of course be effects that are difficult to predict vis a vis weather patterns and complex ecosystems, but for starters it'd put greater stress on phytoplankton between rising the euphotic zone and increasing the rate of ocean acidification (CO2 dissolves faster at lower temperatures, so it'd only accelerate if the planet stops warming but carbon emissions continue).
