Complications posted:can you imagine the US's ruling class ever allowing the election of an american president that would take in refugees like that? it'd be manufactured bedlam in the streets if someone like that got into the general election never mind office That's the most unrealistic part of The Day After Tomorrow, the Dick Cheney analog being *humble* and forgiving Mexico's debts to allow climate refugees to flee into Mexico to escape the deadly cold. My guess would be that instead of the contrite speech where he sees the ~error of his ways~, it'd more likely be "I've TOLD the Mexican President that any attempts to interdict Americans from entering his country will be met with overwhelming force, and I'm instructing all American citizens who own firearms to use whatever means necessary to assure the survival of themselves and theirs. God Bless America, and nowhere else." (murmurs from off-camera) "What do you mean, 'that's a line from a Chris Rock movie,' what part?" (screen goes blank)

In response to monoculture crops being overall awful for long term viability of agriculture, capital is responding by blaming herbicides and building high tech laser robots to help monoculture farming.quote:“It’s able to say ... ‘this is a spinach,’ which is a crop that somebody might grow, and ‘this is a purslane,’ which is a weed that somebody may want to kill,” Mikesell told me. “It’s important for us to be able to know weeds and crops because these farmers do rotations. So you might do carrots ... so your field is full of carrots. You grow the carrots, harvest them, send them to market, hopefully make a nice profit. And then, after that you plant onions. So in the first scenario, the carrots were the crop and everything that’s not a carrot you want to kill. In the second scenario, the carrots are now weeds. If there’s any leftover carrots you want to kill them and protect the onions. And so our machines know what it’s actually looking at and can say, ‘Okay, it’s onion time, let’s kill the carrots.’”

SKULL.GIF posted:why the gently caress would the ruling class be against that? they'd be loving overjoyed. the more peasants there are the richer they become. goons have some weird conceptualization of "the ruling class", libs, tradgop, and divergent-nationalist gops. the ruling class ideologically is "liberal" and is a predominant strain for almost the entire medial-political-sphere. however, the "ruling class" is actually somewhat threatened in it's control over the levers-of-power and trad lib ideology because of crumbling socioeconomic prospects for the masses and 'collapsing' world the masses thought they knew/lived. And in that void, the ruling class offering pithy platitudes and means-tested meritocratic greenwashing bullshit doesn't cut it so there's been a surgence of nationalistic-pseudo-socialist populism right saying 'hey this poo poo is hosed up and america is dead because globalized-liberals killed it, but we can fix it and make things great!' which sure sounds a lot more attractive than anything the ruling class libs are offering. ultimately, for now, even those are still chained and handcuffed by the powers of the ruling class (i.e. literally the only thing trump even accomplished was tax cuts for rich and could barely do anything else. nafta 2.0 was exactly the same and global-free-trade exploitation friendly). there may come a day they finally ignore the shackles and actually Do Something but it won't be to the benefit of the ruling class.

It's an insane win-win-win for the ruling class, at least in the short term.

if you mean pipelines designed to channel and transport captured carbon to some kind of central processing facility or something I guess it's one of the more efficient and sensible ways to do that kind of thing. Every carbon capture facility you make doesn't also need carbon sequestration infrastructure too. Just pipe it off to Shitsville, Nowhere to be buried or whatever. Whether or not optimizing carbon capture is stupid is up to the reader though. It really depends on if you still think that would even help.

Every carbon capture facility you make doesn't also need carbon sequestration infrastructure too. Just pipe it off to Shitsville, Nowhere to be buried or whatever. but instead we should just build the carbon capture facilities on top of the storage formations they're going to use. because remember, we have to store this carbon *forever*. not just for 100 years. not just for 1,000. but forever and ever and ever amen. so there are actually very few places where the geology means we can do that. Mr Hootington posted:Ok. I'm just wondering because iowa is goi g to have a co2 pipeline soon and everyone is throwing a god damned fit. basically there's a push by all the pro-oil and gas people to pump co2 everywhere so that we can: *Spend more money on gas pipelines *Use the co2 to extract more oil *claim this saves the climate so that's why they're all about co2 pipelines right now, because that's how you make the fantasy of "lets burn more coal, pump more oil, and claim its solving the climate" work, they have to pipe the co2 from all the coal plants to all the oil fields to do Enhanced Oil Recovery.
