God Hole posted:i'm currently recovering from valley fever, a disease with an accelerating infection rate due to climate change. it sucked because the acute period of the illness had the exact same symptoms as covid, during a global outbreak of covid lol so for months my doctor was giving me all these antibiotics to clear up the "long-covid pneumonia" that was ruining my life, meanwhile this fungus is happily flourishing in my lungs.

ughhhh posted:Had a lovely conversation with my grandmother today who lives in Nepal. She was really cheerful and talked to me about how much she misses me and how great all her grandchildren are and cant wait to see all of us together one day and feed us a great big feast with produce she grows in her garden. It was really nice thank you for posting this. what a dreadful load for you to carry around with you 24/7. this is very thoughts and prayers, but i'm wishing lots of small miracles on your family to get them through the next century.

Boy, doing some house and computer cleanup today so I don't go into full blown depression mode which would be extremely easy right now and let me tell you... The linear timeline of my browser history since the IPCC report suuuuure does tell a tale.

Hey, sincerely thank you for posting this. This thread trends overwhelmingly North American and its great to get some perspective on the poo poo people are dealing with outside of this bubble, without it filtering through a dehumanizing news lens first. I'm so sorry.

In the world I see - you are stalking landcrabs through the damp mushroom forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear sharkskin wetsuits that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick mycelium tendrils that wrap the Willis Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny squid pounding kelp, laying strips of grub meat on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

Paraguay is a bit hosed https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/sep/27/paraguay-severe-drought-depletes-river quote:Severe drought that began in late 2019 continues to punish the region while experts say climate change and deforestation may be intensifying the phenomenon GGWP. I don't think the water or forests are coming back there in the near or long-term future.

This sounds pretty optimistic I figured it would be a few dregs of humanity licking cave walls for moisture and lichen because outside they have to battle starving acid squids that realized easy human prey stumbles around on the shores looking for food.

Son of Rodney posted:earth is dimming due to climate change quote:The Earth is now reflecting about half a watt less light per square meter than it was 20 years ago, with most of the drop occurring in the last three years. Cool. So the cloud layer breakdown forecast by the way too pessimist, probably bad new models that was maybe, possibly happening next century in an absolute worst-case scenario: - Is real - Started happening in earnest a couple of years ago lmao

Thankfully humanity isn't known for it's willful malice or anything

mediaphage posted:i get you're being pithy but we're really not, this is "just" a side effect of capitalism I don't give a poo poo about stephen hawking, just the fact that humans acting extremely confident about the climate has never worked out especially when it's a bunch of nerds who can't get over the fact the sun is further away therefore the calculations in simulations will never be the same between the two planets when we aren't doing this naturally, are doing it quickly and are using technology to make it worse. So I'll believe these people claiming that it's impossible, forever, when they make one single correct prediction about the insane poo poo that is happening or somehow prove they are accounting for all possible geo-engineering when they go "Venus +100 Sun Earth -100 Sun" then do some atmospheric gas modeling while jerking off and being wrong about everything else except this apparently.

two skeletons walk into a bar first skeleton says "Well what do you know about us destroying life on earth with runaway greenhouse gases making it a hothouse planet" second skeleton says "um actually "Hothouse" is evocative of Venus and Earth could never be classified in the same tier of "Hothouse" as Venus due to the fact that Venus is closer to the sun that earth. The amount of solar radiation absorbed by Venus is so much more than Earth with a different atmosphere concentration that really Earth could never possibly be considered to have done the same thing as Venus and if you want to suggest this is hypothetically possible then I really need more background than that. The original cited scientist wasn't actually a climate scientist and the variables aren't exactly going in your favor by comparing solar apples to solar oranges.
