Thinking about the fact that 10% of all lab mice die of ulcerative dermatitis because living on plastic instead of dirt is bad for them

enjoyed this little bit in this article UN gathering gears up for push to save planet’s biodiversity quote:[...]The U.S.-based Campaign For Nature says a major theme in Geneva will be a target to protect and conserve at least 30 percent of the world’s lands, inland waters and oceans to help stanch habitat loss, the “overexploitation” of nature by people and businesses, and the emergence of pathogens that thrive off upheaval in the environment. SAY THE WORD SAY IT

Love the phrasing there. "gears up for push" UN Gathering to Set Date to Possibly Think About Forming a Committee to One Day Potentially Do Something About Current Catastrophic Biodiversity Loss

I watched an hour and a half presentation on the passenger pigeon, and it’s good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK2UlLsHkus It goes over the history of the birds, how they fit into the ecosystem, and the proposal to bring them back from extinction.

if all the carbon is already in the atmosphere then there's no way to add more so that's one way to get zero net (or maybe even negative!) what i'm saying is, let's just try to speedrun this thing

Waging war doesn't tend to be all that eco-friendly. Don't think Putin started a war of aggression to fight climate change.

What single catastrophic event (because that is all the media will ever really respond to) would the Times and Atlantic start to say, "Actually, let's just start spraying sulfur dioxide now. It's cheap and who knows maybe it'll work!!"?

there's already been mentions of "well maybe a bit of nuclear war would be good for the climate?" so i dunno, maybe something like a 20% drop in Number that can be directly attributed to abnormal climate events? can't really think of anything more catastrophic than that

A lot of countries are going to want their winters, rains or temperate weather back.

genius economist said that whatever happens outside the door of my climate controlled home or office is utterly irrelevant. And they are right! On a personal level. Extend that thinking to an entire planet, like they did, and the problems quickly become apparent. That is, if you think there exists any value, any necessity, any resource outside of aristocrats sitting around polished table in an air-conditioned office. Every experience of their life has proven their conceptions of society to be correct. Every aspect of the world around them, the risk/reward mechanisms, consequences good or bad, laws, or social norms, etc. again and again and again show the person who dismisses climate change as the outdoor temperature gaining a few degrees, and nothing more, is the smart and sensible one.
