"carbon neutral" is a fraud and a scam.

when "carbon neutral" is discredited, this will be used to attack those trying to address climate change in the same way the notion of "the earth will be frozen in the year 2000" was used to attack the environmental movement in the 90s and 2000s the answer, as always, will be more coal, more oil, and more gas

Acelerion posted:I think I've posted this before but we are totally gonna do the aerosol/solar dimming thing and on the remote chance it works use the savings to burn more coal Having wide swaths of people die in a cold snap is going to be bad and ableist, so we need to burn more fossil fuels to keep them alive and we can't cut back and infact we need to build more peaker plants since they're cheap and faster to spin up large MW. Having wide swaths of people in Arizona uncomfortable and die in plywood tract-housing without being able to slam the air conditioning button is going to be bad and ableist, so we need to burn more fossil fuels. Agricultural failures, topsoil depletion (or rather, soil sterilization is what it is), and dwindling water is going to need to increasingly more fertilizer production (from fossil fuels) so people don't starve and keep prices low, and we need more water pumping systems to increasingly plant and harvest more than we used to because of increasing destabilizing events and also increasing demand. If solar dimming poo poo works (lol) then we'll need to put large outdoor lamps or some poo poo so they can grow which means more oil. We also need to be increasing oil and coal consumption to transport these to areas that maybe can no longer produce anything. 'Green' (lmao) energy, at best, is going to be built at a rate only somewhere on par with increased need for energy for human life. So with many people in increasingly precarious situations between needing more energy than ever before to stay alive, burning more and more is the only way forward. And if anyone tries otherwise, the rabble are going to throw them out to someone promising to bring back the treats and power at any cost. Solar dimming and other dumb elong musk harebrained concoctions are the only way forward for modern governments and will be increasingly tried with frantic frenzy

From seaŋáš, a fluffy, grainy snow that moves easily, to tjaevi, flakes that stick together and are hard to dig, the names are based on its texture, depth, density, and the harsh conditions of the Arctic winter.

Tim Murphy is one of those peak oil blogger types who kinda vanished for awhile but has done some soul searching. he has a bit overly academia-steeped brain but his piece about climate change being sort of a distraction and that it's about consumption of earth resources and ignoring the consequences is right in context of global ecosystem collapse. https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2021/11/caught-up-in-complexity/quote:In this view, we have created and prioritized an artificial world atop the real physical world, full of constructs that are malleable and in some senses arbitrary. Perhaps because the elements of this attention-dominating artificial world are of our own creation—agriculture, cities, political and legal systems, economies, industry, gadgets, entertainment, etc.—we acquire the illusion that we really are masters of the world and can design it to our collective wishes. The focus becomes on maneuvering through these complex constructs (political, legal, monetary, social) to achieve our goals. The canvas appears to be unconstrained, inspiring a certain enthusiasm for the “possible.” It is easy to overlook the fact that this artificial world has not stood the test of time, as the real physical world has by construction.

How does dropping nukes on Ukraine affect the biosphere? Just asking because Ukraine claims Russia is planning a nuclear attack (lol) https://www.rt.com/russia/544001-ukraine-afraid-nuclear-attack/ edit: I assume that a single nuke doesn't materially affect the atmosphere, but the resulting radiation would presumably contribute to something like ocean species dying or something right?

Just asking because Ukraine claims Russia is planning a nuclear attack (lol) https://www.rt.com/russia/544001-ukraine-afraid-nuclear-attack/ If it's an airburst at an optimal altitude, negligibly. If it's a groundburst, it depends on the soil composition at ground zero and the yield. It doesn't matter, though - since they're not going to employ nuclear weapons even if they do invade. Can't rule out nerve agents, though.

I kind of feel like loving around with aerosols is a good way to speed run the nuclear war ending, so maybe they are a decent climate change solution after all?

All these solutions to climate change, carbon capture facilities and mass car electrification etc are just going to push the problem from climate change to resource depletion. I also have not seen anything convincing about being able to large-scale safely and relatively low-input recycle and reform pv panels, batteries, and various wind parts (be it blades, drive chains, nacelle, tower) either. so it's not just like okay we made enough, now we longer need anymore, thanks we're good!, but rather continuous needing new ones every 3-20 years, and more of them. anyways it's all moot because all we can do is watch and COPE26

Went to check in on the DD climate thread, they went quiet after COP but few posts since then. What are they up to, oh cool they've discovered nature abhors a dome through the banner ad and seem to be realizing the scale of the problem.

We very much can rule out nerve agents; if Russia were to invade, it'd be to annex a territory that's pretty much Russia-aligned already. Deploying nerve agents for such a mission would be moronic.

Yeah he's disagreeing with the video because he denies the thesis that climate change is unstoppable, though mitigable, because the IPCC says if we cease all emissions right now we have a small chance of stopping all climate change problems. And the mod CommieGir is arguing with him against a strawman they've constructed. And that first guy is just an eco-fascist Thug Lessons posted:Okay. My perspective differs. I think the regular first world American life will be mostly unchanged in thirty years, and the aging doomers will still think the climate apocalypse is coming but we just had the timeline slightly off. He's knows things will be bad worldwide but is confident as an American he doesn't have to worry about it. Marenghi has issued a correction as of 14:20 on Dec 23, 2021 |
