Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:i'm reminded of some stupid image for a plan to build nuclear plants to produce steam to inject into the oil sands to be able to pump out that delicious garbage grade oil That's the modern version. There was a plan from the 1950s-1960s to detonate a thousand or so nuclear warheads under the tar sands to loosen things up and make the spice flow. Marsden describes in his book "Stupid to the Last Drop: How Alberta is Bringing Environmental Armageddon to Canada" a pilot shot down in the U.S., with predictable results. For some reason they thought they might have a problem handling and marketing radioactive petroleum products. Pity, there's a certain appeal to the idea of nuking Alberta.

the peak oil thing is funny, because the obvious misinformed conclusion on it is usually "so we have less oil now?" and it's more like the graph is being readjusted so instead of a bell curve as profitable oil wells dry up, we are more inefficiently getting what's still there to have a nice litttle vertical cliff into the abyss where all the oil actually does run out. imagine finding out your drink is half empty in a desert. the rational thing would be to ration out what's left and make it last as long as possible. capitalism just sticks more straws in the cup and sucks harder while screaming "gently caress YEAH NUMBER BABY"

That reads like the last log of a spaceship crew that're found long dead after sending their last rescue signal: Risks have been underestimated. Decarbonisation is not enough.

It's interesting that people are so unable to face reality that they throw around stupid terms like doomer when every climate prediction ever made turns out to be wildly optimistic in hindsight and the problems are always much worse and occur much sooner than even the most "alarmist" models
