quote:this analysis drew on consumption-based emissions data as much as possible, as this better reflects the ethical principle of equal access to atmospheric commons. Consumption-based data, which are derived from Eora,15 were only available for 1970 to 2015. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09535314.2013.769938 Edit: Anyway I was trying to figure out if those numbers included the emissions from US military, but all that data is a matrix table of GDP and GNI from EU, UN, and some national datasets and I have no idea what I am looking at there. So I am going to be optimistic and say, maybe yes? Lostconfused has issued a correction as of 05:15 on Oct 17, 2021 |

Modern bees should be ashamed of themselves. Back in the 70s there were hardly any rules governing what sorts of poo poo farmers could spray at them, and they just got on with the job of making honey and ruining picnics. Nowadays, despite having new, safe chemicals governed by strict environmental laws, this snowflake generation of bees just drop dead at the slightest whiff of anything they don’t like. Pathetic.

Scientists discover large rift in the Arctic's last bastion of thick sea ice  quote:A new study documents the formation of a 3,000-square-kilometer rift in the oldest and thickest Arctic ice. The area of open water, called a polynya, is the first to be identified in an area north of Ellesmere Island, Canada's northernmost island, and is another sign of the rapid changes taking place in the Arctic, according to researchers.

quote:Extreme wind conditions created the gap by pushing ice aside, which is common, said David Babb, a sea ice researcher at the University of Manitoba who was not involved in the study. But it's unusual for sea ice as thick as in the Last Ice Area to be blown around, especially far from the coast where winds tend to be weaker than near the coast, he said.

Hitting the 2017 postscript for Cadillac Desert, now that's the poo poo I was looking for. https://www.lasvegasnevada.gov/News/Blog/Detail/lake-mead-water-shortage quote:On Aug. 16, 2021 the federal government, prompted by the low water levels in Lake Mead, issued a water shortage declaration on the Colorado River. The shortage will reduce the amount of water Southern Nevada will be allowed to withdraw from Lake Mead beginning in January 2022.  https://www.rvtravel.com/lack-water-lake-mead-leads-level-1-water-shortage-declaration-1014b/ quote:Arizona is slated to lose about 512,000 acre-feet of previously allocated water from Lake Mead in 2022. Nevada will lose 21,000 acre-feet, and Mexico will lose 80,000 acre-feet. An acre-foot is the amount of water needed to cover one acre of land one foot deep (that’s about 326,000 gallons). https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/joannaallhands/2021/05/20/lake-mead-likely-tier-2-shortage-2023-impact-arizona/5183361001/ quote:And, even worse, we’re getting down into the V-shaped part of Lake Mead, meaning it takes a loss of less water to drop lake levels than it once did. Losing smaller volumes of water can have bigger impacts. Lostconfused has issued a correction as of 18:45 on Oct 17, 2021 |

Acre-foot is the stupidest loving measurement. It's roughly 1,233,480 litres so I can just multiply by a million in my head. That's a relatively small curtailment, I wonder if the water authority is hoping the drought ends soon.

WorldsStongestNerd posted:While true, roundup for example has been used since the 70s. The same for industrial applications of pesticides and herbicides. Something else we don't know about has brought the hammer down on insects over the last decade. I agree it's probably a combination of things but I'm not willing to let go of glyphosate as the boogeyman quite yet. Glyphosate use didn't start to take off until the mid-1990s when the first RoundupReady gmo was released. Before then the U.S. was barely at 30 million pounds per year and farmers had a delicate balancing act between killing the weeds and killing their crop. By the mid 2000s glyphosate resistant weeds had evolved (who could have predicted this?) and somewhere along the line the practice of "field drying" beans and other crops started - killing the crop with glyphosate and letting it bake in the sun to save space in the barns and drying sheds. The U.S. is probably north of 230 millions pounds annually now. The thing that worries me about glyphosate is that while it's true that mammals don't have a metabolic pathway it can impact fungus and bacteria do. Everything with a gut has a miniature ecosystem in it and is dependent on that ecosystem functioning properly. loving with gut flora is like loving with plankton; they're fundamental for higher life and it's not going to end well. But I'm sure it's not a problem since glyphosate degrades in a few days in the environment without any weird breakdown products or anything. Correlation, cause, etc. Those monarch butterflies died with glyphosate, not of it. mediaphage posted:interestingly a recent paper in the journal of applied ecology makes the suggestion that it's not actually glyphosate that is responsible for the deaths, but probably some kind of surfactant or other ingredient they're using that is damaging, at least to bumblebees: Too lazy to look it up but I think they saw this too years ago with Bacillus thuringiensis. An oil or something they were using as a carrier was Not Good, kind of loving up its reputation as an organic pesticide. The paper seems to be describing acute toxicity effects rather than what one would expect to see with chronic debilitating effects leading to things like colony collapse. And I am aware that Colony Collapse Disorder and winter kill in honeybees are probably disease/parasite driven. I've managed to get my winter kill rate down to 30% like the professionals but jeez it's a crap shoot. There''s been a lot of interest lately in amateur beekeeping but there are a lot of colonies that haven't survived the first winter. It's a bit like bullfrog and chinchilla farms during the Great Depression - there's money to be made selling the starter kits but not much else. At least the local bumblebees are doing well. I wonder how much of that is due to the proliferation of the alien invasive Himalayan Giant blackberry?

Chamale posted:Acre-foot is the stupidest loving measurement. It's roughly 1,233,480 litres so I can just multiply by a million in my head. It's only supposed to cut it by a few percentage points, less than ten. Acrefoot measurement is used because almost all of that water is used for irrigated farmland so everything is pegged to that reference. It's also not about how much water use is cut but the systemic consequences that will follow. All of the water is being used, reduction in delivery will probably result in farmers going out of business and farm land turning into dust.

Oxxidation posted:has anyone actually figured out what’s killing them yet I read a book on native north American bumble bees and there was a chapter about franklin's bumble bee native to the PNW which was last seen years ago and is either extinct now or really close to it. One researcher in the book blamed hothouse tomatoes. Some solitary bees have seasonal lifecycles where the adults will die every winter and then the next generation will emerge in the spring. The availability of nectar from the greenhouses while all of the natural sources are going dormant for the winter attracts the bees to an area where their offspring won't be viable at a critical time. The poor fuckers die far later in the season fat and happy but their larvae will never survive in the greenhouse and each season skims more and more bees from the population until there are none left. The takeaway for me is that it's easy to place the blame for species extinction on some sort of broad cause like glyphosate but to truly understand the cause of disappearance we need to look deeply enough to understand the behavior of the species and the specifics of how it interacts with human activity. The lovely part is that there are thousands of insect species facing population decline and it's probably for a whole bunch of individual reasons and we are putting hardly any resources into finding out why so it will by and large remain a mystery. We already don't know for sure what killed off the franklin's bumblebee because they are all gone. There's nothing left to observe.
