It feels like geoengineering is inevitable as a Hail Mary after everyone refuses any sort of degrowth. And thanks to shifting baselines it will only take a generation or two before everyone forgets there was a time before the skies were always white.

Yes gentlemen, they are on their way in, and nobody can bring them back. For the sake of our country, and our way of life, I suggest you get the rest of SAC in after them. Otherwise, we will be totally destroyed by Red retaliation. My boys will give you the best kind of start, 1400 megatons worth, and you sure as hell won't stop them now. So let's get going, there's no other choice. God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural... fluids.

if you're a doomer and you do what you think needs to be done you're a piece of poo poo martyr criminal scumbag and if you do nothing you're an inactivist which is actually now worse than being a fossil fuel company executive. both of those points are being promoted by many climate activists and posters in this very forum.

Living in the pnw and paying attention to scientific articles is definitely some poo poo that will turn anyone into a doomer.

Between all the obvious logging and horrifying environmental poo poo that goes with that, you've got the quickly dying salmon populations from rubber tire road run off and the acidic ocean poo poo.

As I was typing that I remembered the Oso landslide which was on of the biggest in the world that took out a whole town a few years back and it is believed it was directly tied to logging destabilizing the land over a few decades.

also here's the salmon thing

Yep, thinking about losing the salmon forever is so deeply troubling it is beyond describing.

Anytime I think about geoengineering I think of the planetary UN in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and how I'd always vote for global warming or global cooling based on whether or not it was gonna gently caress over my rival's cities and economy.

what's the best response to "people have said peak oil is coming for 20 years and we are still producing more each year?"

also they will sometimes say that methods are getting more efficient, sophisticated, whatever, so there's no way to know if/when it will happen
