All my friends with both children and cars these days are like "The price of rat poison is off the charts lately! Why won't stupid Brandon go ahead and release the strategic rat poison reserves already so we can stop depending on foreign rat poison? What am I supposed to do? Feed my kids less rat poison? They fuckin love the taste!"

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:shove some nuclear waste in there so the decay makes up for the energy we slurp. nuclear decay is what generated that heat in the first place iirc I believe a lot of the heat of the earth's core is literally just left over heat from when it was formed. Earth is a hot rock and it's still cooling after all this time There's undoubtedly a lot of nuclear decay going on down there unleashing more heat though. Also I wonder if the moon is doing anything substantive

Had a chat with a chuddy but relatively normie family member today and even they're talking a bit of doom over climate and war and the price of goods and such now that gas is a bit more expensive and their business is starting to hurt, even going so far as to allude to end times. Probably not so much in the well-reasoned climate thread end times sense and more in the religious/ "it's impacting me personally now" end times sense, but still, it was the first they've ever sounded like that. Good times ahead

Gas is not the issue. Russian oil import is <4% of oil imports for US. Russian potassium fertilizer imports before recently were 96% of potassium fertilizer imports for US.

The Protagonist posted:This is wrong, actually! Most of the heat is from radioactive decay of a whole range of isotopes! I decided to look it up because I find this kinda stuff fascinating, and yeah it's currently thought to be about 50/50! Way more contribution from radioactivity than I thought https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_internal_heat_budget The article also mentions Kevin's calculations but I'm too dumb to understand that bit. It's been far too long since I studied thermodynamics Speaking of thermodynamics I very much enjoyed that paper about the "earth space battery" (which I finally got around to reading), though the paper didn't seem to give much consideration of incoming sunlight for ongoing survival of humanity which I found a bit odd. I'll have to post again later when I find the link again. I'm sure it's fine (it is an academic paper after all) but I need someone else to explain it to me

i had what kids these days call a "shower thought" this morning: would it be possible to measure the amount of CO2 released from all the explosions in the Ukraine-Russia war? if so, would it be a drop in the bucket, or would we actually be able to see a spike in ppm charts?

(and thats the optimistic view that normally gets laughed out of this thread).
