Limits to Growth was right but one of their headline scenarios was "industry collapses because it runs out of oil" and when in the aughts everyone decided that wouldn't happen then LtG was understood to be fully disproven and wrong

actionjackson posted:I thought peak oil already happened? at least for crude Conventional oil peaked around 2007, tight / novel oil (tar sands, fracking, shale) peaked in 2019. The shale boom of '08 - '19 never turned a profit, and was wholly reliant on subsidies to function at all: quote:Report from Deloitte adds that the “reality is that the shale boom peaked without making money for the industry in aggregate. In fact, the US shale industry registered net negative free cash flows of $300 billion, impaired more than $450 billion of invested capital, and saw more than 190 bankruptcies since 2010.” Considering the oil shock of '07 precipitated the great financial crisis of' 08, by putting enough financial stress in Americans that they defaulted on their mortgages, the currently developing energy crisis - and lack of any developing markets to exploit in order to tamp it down this time - should be viewed as an extreme incoming LMAO.

While Senators Manchin and Sinema are holding up real progress on the Democratic environmental and infrastructure bill, let's not gloss over a more stunning reality: 50 Republican Senators from the Gas Oil Petroleum party refuse to lift a finger to help the USA transition to a safer, sustainable energy and environmental policy, preferring the short-term Grand Old Profits for the Grand Old Polluters that fund their destructive anti-climate, anti-future, anti-science, anti-family, anti-life political positions. The Republican party's climate cooking political position is a crime against humanity.

https://twitter.com/DavidCable13/status/1447370676914974720 "The expected aviation demand in Puget Sound by 2050 will necessitate a second major international airport comparable to the size of SEA." lol "Seattle’s airport situation is not entirely dissimilar to the challenges facing Sydney’s Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD), which has an artificial limit on its capacity due to legislated strict overnight flight curfews and flight caps — a policy to reduce aircraft noise in residential areas immediately adjacent to the airport. Further expansions to SYD are also challenged by its limited geographical area and its location in the concave of a small bay, surrounded by neighbourhoods. Before the pandemic, SYD saw over 40 million passengers annually, and was expected to reach capacity by 2030. Given the unsurmountable obstacles with a major expansion of SYD, after a decade of serious planning, the Australian government began construction in 2018 on a major secondary international airport for the Sydney region, called Western Sydney International Airport. Western Sydney’s location on farm and rural lands is over 40 km east of downtown Sydney and SYD, but major investments in highway and rail rapid transit will optimize ground access and travel times." lmao

the way we fix the problem of excessive airport noise in the US is to build the airports next to poor nonwhite neighborhoods so they don't have to limit the flights

Approaching Collapse: Some Do's and Don'tsquote:In this public forum, academics and activists from Australia and North America consider the very real possibility of climate and ecological collapse. Infinite growth on a finite planet has pushed the planet into crisis, and these speakers tackle the difficult questions and taboo topics. They burst the fantasy of sustainability based on clean energy transition and argue for equitable approaches to global population. Pathways forward include a deliberate contraction of the human enterprise and a planned collapse. This is a full day event occurring next Wednesday at the University of Tazmania, online attendance is free and is possible if the timezones line up for you. Two of the four presenters are the authors of Through The Eye Of The Needle: Meagan Seibert and William Rees, so I suspect this will be where their findings go "mainstream" if this picks up any attention.

But the FAA is hilariously incompetent so nothing will ever be done about this problem.

Koirhor posted:looks like its gonna be low to mid 80s for the entire next week still here in Ohio, the trees and plants look really confused, I’m sure its fine Fall foliage in the Northeast has actually been one of the biggest "something is really wrong" indicators for me. My family used to take little foliage day trips every single year from when I was a baby up until sometime early in high school, so pretty much mid-80s until late-ish 90s. We've got tons of photos and every year you could pretty reliably hit a two-week window when poo poo was crazy colorful. Like just amazing if you hit it right, and the peak foliage period was always wide enough that it wasn't really a "blink and you miss it" kind of thing. Now? Now it's just hosed, and the last five years have really been something totally outside of my experience in this area. The trees in my lawn drop their leaves before they turn, or they go straight from green to muted yellow/brown and then fall. It's also a lot more inconsistent, with a lot of trees clearly peaking and dropping their leaves while others are still solid green. I had to take a relatively long drive into upstate NY this weekend and while it's certainly still pretty, it's nothing like it should be in mid-October. Trees need changes in light and relatively low temperatures to trigger the breakdown in chlorophyll, and the process can get easily disrupted by intense rains or too little water. They also need temperatures above freezing. People keep acting like "oh, the foliage season is just later now," but it's not. The process produces objectively less vibrant colors when it's disrupted (especially by dry weather or inconsistent rainfall), and trees peaking around the same time is what produces a week or so of insanely gorgeous landscapes. Beautiful fall landscapes aren't just getting pushed back, they're vanishing like so many other things, and way faster than anyone is willing to admit.

It's really hit certain types of trees in New England harder than others. Sycamores in particular seem hosed up. Part of this is that we've lost September as a transition month over the past decade. The sorts of atmospheric transitions that used to take place are either bumped into October or November or simply flip on a dime. I remember Halloweens in the 90s when you'd be out but the temps were in the 40s or 30s Fahrenheit. We probably won't be getting lower than 40F until at least the end of the month.

apparently Europe is having a huge gas shortage right now. Russia also isn’t selling them any since the EU is insisting on short term contracts because they want to think they are successfully transitioning away from fossil fuels. so now they are burning a ton of coal to make up the difference, lol.

We're seeing exactly the same issues up here in the Great Lakes. Right now looking outside my window like half the trees are naked after having a 10-day peak color period about 2 weeks ago and the other half are still green, though a dull dark green instead of vibrant.
