It rained in Calgary today. Rain in December is so eerie - normally it starts snowing around Halloween.

Its shocking how fast it disappeared. It was so beautiful and its all dead. Their solution is burn a ton of fossil fuels to see it while it still exists

Xaris posted:look, it would be bad to end on a downer note okay? we will raise awareness and fund raise for global agile solutions that synergize with the enterprise market to enable clean green living while shifting the paradigm towards harm reduction. there is still hope as more people have become educated and made aware that they will induce demand upon legislators to introduce private-public market-based alternatives to protect the environment. I watched "Planet of the Humans" last night. That ends on a serious gut punch.

quote:Today, land managers are scrambling to slow the transformation in many places, by planting trees and killing shrubs. For instance, the Forest Service has proposed a plan to wipe out brush with herbicides in Plumas National Forest. There, climatic conditions would still allow young trees to survive, if they were not crowded out by fast growing shrubs, experts say. When fires enter forests every few years, they tend to burn gently, creeping along the ground and clearing out plants that compete with young trees, without killing the mature ones. But in a landscape dominated by brush, fires burn hot, wiping out the remaining trees and favoring the scrubby species that can quickly grow back. It looks like that’s exactly what happened when the 2021 Dixie Fire swept through the brushy areas created by the 2007 Moonlight Fire. By clearing the brush, the Forest Service hopes to give trees a chance to tip the ecosystem back into a self-sustaining forest. oh good the forest service is getting into the herbicide business in bulk now, wonder when they'll buy Monsanto branded resistant trees on the taxpayer dime for the forests also I wonder what this'll do to what's left of the insect population well, no, I don't

I watched a young doug fir in the parking lot at work die during the heat dome event. It had oozed all its sap out the bottom of the trunk and the needles immediately turned this sickly sort of green then brown, now it's bald.

splifyphus posted:no, he was not. he was reactionary scum who was wrong about everything. LOL yeah, he's pretty awesome all right. Yeah, he was what's commonly known as a comedian and anthromorphizing nature is what's often called euphemism, or sometimes poetic license, part of the comedian's toolkit. And I'm sure he would have taken your remarks the way they should be taken, by laughing in your face. And if man were to be described as having a purpose, our pulling all the worst toxins that all living things have covered over with dense layers of less harmful organic matter -- you could almost say sequestered -- for millennia, out of the earth and putting them back into circulation, thus ensuring the end of all life on the planet, well, I'd look at what we have accomplished and say that's as good a guess as any. Of all the people to call reactionary scum, I think you could have looked a little more carefully. In a larger sense we are all literal scum, a thin layer of organic matter full of microbes and fungi, often known as filth or scum, temporarily covering over an otherwise clean and sterile planet. But don't fear, we are working to remedy this night and day in our labs, in our factories and as a last resort, with our military and their beautiful weapons.

IAMKOREA posted:I'm macrodosing LSD to build a tolerance (to how loving much this poo poo sucks) I'd say "everyone I know who went this route at any point, including myself, ended up some kind of Weird as a result" but you're already posting in cspam so that risk may be mitigated. After about the third day, it's just not worth it, though. I mostly enjoy hallucinogens in "calm nature", and so the idea of the sorts of landscapes that humans might be consuming weird future desert psychedelics in, a little down the line, is loving disturbing to consider. What will the escape drugs of the climate wars be? Will Datura make a big comeback?? also does anyone know if we could reliably, actually induce a nuclear winter by picking someplace totally useless like America and just nuking the gently caress out of it, in a way that wouldn't gently caress the rest of the planet with fallout? I don't know anything about this except the general concept that some fallout fears were overrated. Cabbages and VHS has issued a correction as of 15:29 on Dec 2, 2021 |

I'm actually p happy I went and took psychedelics 3 out of 4 days in a row. Ya I didn't get hosed up but I'm still p chill, relatively, and there's a lingering touch of a body buzz. I don't mind nearly as much that the world is ending.

This was well after we'd done a bunch of acid and other real drugs, but I think it was motivated by curiousity, boredom, inability to find weed, and some slight interest in the (apocryphal?) story of Malcom X's incarcerated nutmeg trips.I think it did something, it was psychoactive, it wasn't really pleasant and I wouldn't do it again. Seem to remember that night somehow ended with me in the back of a convertible, which I think had some girls in it at some point. All of that is highly strange, I didn't have any friends with convertibles at that point. I am sure it all made perfect sense at the time. you might be right, though -- the world has already gotten dark enough I call my compulsive use of cannabis "as medical as not", and my loving doctors agree (OFC I am in Vermont so  ) -- maybe in a few more years I'm gonna be on a LSD/mushroom/ fentanyl/amphetamine booster pill every morning just to cope with reality

George Carlin did incalculably more damage to anyone giving a poo poo about the collapse of the biosphere than virtually anyone else in the 20th century, with that lovely loving standup bit, and every time I see it regurgitated at this late hour I reflexively want to punch the person doing so in the face. Just induces indescribable amounts of rage, tbh. Look at us, right now, bickering over a dead assholes nihilistic joke instead of discussing plastic trash being twice the mass of all animal life on earth. The damage won't stop until every record of this idiocy is erased from the universe. Stop propagating it.
