i have formed a new think tank drawing from the most brilliant people on planet earth, we even have some kid in a wheelchair with a brain 4x larger than his neck can support running simulations in our base and have teamed up with Blood N' Gore.

they are probably fixated on 1.5C even though that is a long dead dream because they can just adjust the goalposts to always have hope. 2C. 2.25C. 2.5C. 2.75C. 2.8C. 2.9C. 2.95C. 2.99C.

Pryor on Fire posted:neat piece from the ap today, it just lays out all the numbers matter of factly. places like Alaska are already at +1.4C I have it on good authority that if we aggressively go to zero carbon emissions by the year 2050 the world will retroactively stop warming back until about the year 2000. We can shave 1 degree off of today if we are at a 50% reduction by 2030 but why not construct 5,000,000,000 more teslas to get us over the finish line?

It's optimistic, and yes it's getting in the food chain. it's possible to build a pond in places that aren't deserts. I will not contend that it's a less than ideal solution but, sans more information about the site and pond engineering, I would naively consider it to be likely that the dude will have a loving massive pond in a decade and that having a massive pond is worth the environmental cost of laying plastic in terms of environmental gains of having a massive pond

Homocow posted:gonna be fun to watch normal people slowly come to realize how hosed up things actually are You see how a truly staggering number of people seemingly completely lost their loving minds overnight in 2020, and subsequently started drinking bleach and injecting horse paste? And now spend all their time online aggressively denying the pandemic exists to anyone who will listen? Yeah, that. Except climate related. I don't look forward to a drat thing on that front, why the gently caress do you think I've been aggressively trying to buy a house or land decently far away from other humans for years and years (and constantly being outrun by asset price inflation the whole time, despite my income, LOL) . It's not because I have a delusion of "prepping for the apocalypse" and subsisting on rice - it's because when North American society at large crack pings on this topic it's going to be loving unreal and truly scary and I don't want to be anywhere near the cities when it happens. And I don't think we have long for that, with how fast things are coming apart socioeconomically now and how loud the dire messaging is getting.

kecske posted:"yeah high density housing would solve a bunch of problems as well as making stuff like mass transit systems more straightforward, but only for other people because I need a sprawling suburban home just for me and my cats. You wouldn't understand." Suburban life in general and the American suburb/sprawl/development cycle in general seems awful to live in and for multiple other reasons, but I think it's a lot more complex than this. I moved out of the city, (way the gently caress out), because cities stress the hell out of me, aggravate my tinnitus, are generally expensive, and being surrounded by quiet natural sounds and far fewer people makes me feel calm. There's a reasonable amount of research into all the reasons this might be more than a personality quirk of mine, from studies about stress responses to noise to the higher density of pollution and shitheads that you generally have to deal with in actual cities. I realize that my lifestyle is privileged well, well beyond what's sustainable for even the current population of the planet, and I have certainly spent a fair amount of time thinking about a bunch of the implications of that. All I am saying is "I don't want to live in high density housing if I can possibly loving avoid it" is a statement I think can be backed up by pretty reasonable takes about what leads to personal happiness for some people. Even if our practices and population have accelerated to the point where the most environmentally responsible thing I could do would be to pack my family up and move into a same-priced 1100 square foot condo in Burlington, I don't want to and I am not going to, and it has everything to do with me and my wife and jack poo poo to do with my cats (who, for the record, lived totally happily with us in a 1100 square foot condo). As far as personal responsibility goes, I feel about as guilty about this as I do about not turning lights off at night if I forget. As long as Chevron is writing our energy policy, I don't feel much agency and beyond obvious poo poo like "don't have a bigger vehicle than is necessary", I am pragmatically just going to try to be as comfortable as I can with my family for as long as I can. In terms of equity my math is that if every existing human family was somehow equally distributed across every acre of habitable land (obviously a dumb and impossible thing to do), then each family would be living on about 7 acres. So, anything more than that, which includes basically all of rural VT including a number of shotgun shacks I know of, is inequitable at least from the perspective of pure space allocation. edit: also when I lived right out DC some of the people I knew who did live in walkable, high density areas still did really dumb poo poo like own two BWMs and drive 300 miles a week because they felt like they needed to get out of the city on the weekend and the only way to do it is to.... drive through 2 hours of sprawl. It only works if it's well designed and also in line with the expectations and behavior of the community. Cabbages and VHS has issued a correction as of 22:05 on Oct 30, 2021 |

MightyBigMinus posted:you don't hate cities, you hate cars. all of the noise problems are from cars/trucks/motorcycles, not from humans. I've never had the opportunity to live surrounded by humans in close proximity without urban noises, and I doubt if I ever will, but at least as much of my stress around cities arose from the constant human stimulation and forced interaction with humans that happens in public spaces. I'd definitely prefer living in a well designed city to living in a poo poo city, but I think it's quite a stretch to imagine I'd rather live in a well designed city with 1000s of people within a couple square miles, than in a tree-filled landscape with far fewer people. Complications posted:I'd advise you to have a look at the Not Just Bikes channel on Youtube, and specifically their videos like this one on urban environments in sensibly designed places vs US cities. Here's another one. American and Canadian cities are hellish because of deliberate design, not because cities have to be that way. American (and maybe Canadian?) urban planning has been poo poo for well beyond my lifetime and it certainly contributes to my dislike of cities. I have no idea if it's wholly responsible for them, or not; a lot of that also comes down to the toxicity of general American culture, etc. I will watch these videos, because my belief at this time is that even the quietest, most well designed city (in existence now, or in hypothetical existence) would still expose me to a lot more stimulation in general than I get being in the middle of nowhere. People do things, things create noise and lights. Animals also do things but they rarely create light and the noises are a lot less, therefore we're happier in the woods, as are a lot of people are here, evidently. I am lucky enough to not have to commute; some of my neighbors drive 2 hours a day to avoid living in what passes for sprawl around here. (gently caress driving, if my job was Burlington bound, yea, we'd live there, and I'd be looking for remote gigs with all my free time). edit: if there's any kind of "reference city" globally that is "the quietest and most walkable and private", I'd be curious to know. I know that Reykjavik consistently rates highly for "quiet", and based on my one week there, that's still way too much buzz and hustle for me. I have not had the chance to visit most other cities because they are places like Helsinki, and if there's a confluence of "quiet city" and "walkable, private city" I am likewise unaware.
