We view the world as being focused on and about us but really we're just the method that God has created to punish sinful animals. Like how the point of hell isn't to provide a place for demons and devils to live it's to gently caress up human souls.

Now I don't pretend to know what cows and chickens did in the real world to deserve this poo poo but it must have been pretty loving bad.

hydroelectricity became expensive as gently caress already and rolling blackouts predicted for the near future if it doesn't rain

lol

lmao

chickens are astoundingly dumb
cows idk

unfortunate that brazil did not figure out what rainforests did before they cut them all down

This is a good post. I think there is a tendency to use psychopathy - clinical lack of empathy - as a synonym for "evil" - the practical lack of empathy. There's really no need - amoral corporations and CEOs and politicians are evil, and they do bad things because they are evil. You don't need a more complicated word like psychopathy to describe this basic problem.

again if they rebuild the pipeline, blowing it up is worse than just leaving it be for the environment.

only if blowing up the pipeline results in reduction in *consumption* does it actually help the climate. making TX natural gas winners and ND natural gas losers doesnt even help, its still worse than doing nothing.

I just did a bunch of acid and crack-pinged to a whole new dimension.

It turns out that now, when we live, there is a collective 'i am a sentient extinction event' emergent consciousness that can be...accessed. It's a level of self-understanding that is totally dehumanizing and depersonalizing, and I'm pretty sure anybody who can handle it and has done their homework can access at will. It couldn't have existed until recently, because it was only recently possible that a sapient extinction event was able to cognize itself as a sapient mass extinction. It's probably the final mutation of Hegel's geist.

Everything becomes incredibly hilarious and what you thought of as your individual identity gets kind of irretrievably shredded. But it's a consciousness that's just kind of standing there, available to be accessed at any time to anybody who notices. You can kinda move into and back out of it deliberately. You can experience yourself and your life as a mass extinction event in a way that's like, the apotheosis of human self-understanding, but is also decidedly 100% post-human.

It is like having cthuluesque demon peering through your own skull. Post-human consciousness is here motherfuckers goddamn holy gently caress.

yeah, yeah, because we're actually monkeys and the records of our egos through what we've scrawled on the walls of our digital caves won't make any loving sense without context from another creature looking or listening and understanding

gently caress, are we a cult? if humanity survives, this thread and its posters could possibly be viewed as some existentialist cult


like, yes, i exist as Alobar irl with my identity and poo poo but, also, it doesn't loving matter

if no other animal ever figures out how to read or understand what we wrote down, who gives a gently caress?

hell, there are human records and languages that we, as humans, can't decipher even with how powerful our technology has become

bees make honeycombs and honey and poo poo, this is what humans made

in the end, it might as well just be thousands of years of dog barks and paw prints




woof woof

lol

lmao

heh heh heh, dog will hunt

If policy ambition, low-carbon technology deployment and investment follow current trends, 2.7°C of warming by the end of this century is likely, relative to pre-industrial temperatures. A plausible worst case of 3.5°C is possible (10 per cent chance). These projections assume Paris Agreement signatories meet their NDCs. If they fail to do so, the probability of extreme temperature increases is non-negligible.

Any relapse or stasis in emissions reduction policies could lead to a plausible worst case of 7°C of warming by the end of the century (10 per cent chance).

If emissions follow the trajectory set by current NDCs, there is a less than 5 per cent chance of keeping temperatures well below 2°C relative to pre-industrial levels, and less than 1 per cent chance of reaching the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target.

There is currently a focus on net zero pledges, and an implicit assumption these targets will avert climate change. However, net zero pledges lack policy detail and delivery mechanisms, and the deficit between targets and the global carbon budget is widening every year.

Unless NDCs are dramatically increased, and policy and delivery mechanisms are commensurately revised, many of the impacts described in this research paper are likely to be locked in by 2040 and become so severe they go beyond the limits of what nations can adapt to.

honestly you have to read them all together and then recognize what it means for Chatham House to be putting those words to paper:

notice its "beyond the limits of what nations can adapt to" not mitigate-- adapt, survive.

Cults involve an element of blind faith and here we do evidence based lmaos. Humanity going extinct is still up in the air afaik cause we're persistent little roaches, but the collapse of industrial civilization and millions of years of biological development being snuffed out in a geological instant is indisputable. Also cults have a leader and usually creepy sex stuff and a bunch of other structural signifiers.

Humanity as a whole though, at this point in time, is definitely a death cult with billions of trapped unwilling thralls and creepy sex monsters at the top of the pyramid.
