lmao already knowing exactly how climate change will gently caress you because it’s always happened it’ll just be more frequent and severe. whoo can’t wait to sweep water out of the house not breathe freeze and burn. and that’s just life no one cares about it’s not including whatever disasters and societal collapse you wanna write a novel about.

i know people who are still absolutely convinced that technology will solve climate change, that we'll just throw a lot of money at it when things inevitably get bad enough (i.e. when it becomes "cost-effective" to do so) and a solution will be invented, just like the covid vaccines

Technology™ scales exponentially. The net that today fishes one plastic bottle at a time out of a river will tomorrow fish two bottles out of that river at a time, and the day after that four bottles at a time, and so forth. There is no reason for alarm if you understand the exponential function; our issues are solved problems.

Their property was beautiful, Elliott said. Seven-and-a-half acres on the valley floor and richer soil than much of the surrounding area. They had thousands of fruit trees, about 100 blueberry bushes, and a 25-metre greenhouse “that was really hitting its stride,” he said. Instead of a retirement plan, Elliott said he and his wife Erin were creating a sustainability plan that would support their family for a long time. And then it was covered in thick mud and boulders.

I read a book recently called Song for the Blue Ocean by Carl Safina. It's a big book about the overfishing of tuna, the logging of forests and blocking of rivers of salmon and the poisoning/overfishing of reefs in Palau. So it makes sense that fish sizes are decreasing as they're being fished way before reaching any sort of maturity. The book was ok, woffled a bit, and I was kinda exhausted by the end of it. It was just one shocking gently caress up after an other. Just when you thought one chapter could be worse, the next one trumps it. I've read a couple of his books, Beyond Words (what animals think and feel) was great. I have the Eye of the Albatross to get into, but I don't think I'm ready to read about birds drowning from drift net fishing or the amount of plastics baby albatrosses are eating just yet. read em if ur keen
