No I mean go online and buy a dime sized piece of coral for $20 and put it in a fish tank and look at it while it slowly grows.

It's probably cultured but coral is one of those things where either there's going to be a lot of it or none of it and that switch is going to get flipped pretty quickly.

this, the best and sometimes cheapest are the ones pruned off some other person's colony.

i'd say more like it's a soft on/off with wild corals, they've been dying back for a while now, but when the slow mo switch clicks in imo the rest will all die basically instantly. Both coral reefs and kelp forests have been able to establish in weird deep water refugia that will surely be wiped out when the currents shift.

Everyone in this thread should see a coral reef (like get in the water with one) before they are all gone, if you can. They are so loving incredibly cool up close, I don't think the english language has a word to describe how evil what we are doing to them is

quote:

Both communities must do more to talk to each other, instead of at each other. It won’t be easy, but appreciation for the same literature could be a starting point. After all, Limits inspired both the green-growth and post-growth communities, and both were similarly influenced by the first study on planetary boundaries. . .which attempted to define limits for the biophysical processes that determine Earth’s capacity for self-regulation.

Opportunities for cooperation are imminent. At the end of January, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services announced a big study into the causes of biodiversity loss, including the role of economic systems. More than 100 authors from 40 countries and different fields will spend two years assessing the literature. They will recommend “transformative change to the systems leading us to catastrophe”, says study co-chair, political scientist Arun Agrawal at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Another opportunity is an upcoming revision of the rules for what is measured in GDP. These will be agreed by countries’ chief statisticians and organized through the UN, and are due to be finalized in 2025. For the first time, the statisticians are asking how sustainability and well-being could be more closely aligned to GDP. Both post-growth and green-growth advocates have valuable perspectives.

Research can be territorial — new communities emerge sometimes because of disagreements in fields. But green-growth and post-growth scientists need to see the bigger picture. Right now, both are articulating different visions to policymakers, and there is a risk this will delay action. In 1972, there was still time to debate, and less urgency to act. Now, the world is running out of time.

Hmm, I don't have much hope for "calling time on a 50-year argument." The problem is apparently urgent, but the remedies suggested are for "post-growth" to give concessions, literature reviews, and technocratic adjustments to GDP calculations.

got some cheap baobab seeds off ebay, takes 15-20 years to get to fruiting size so ill probably never see that but they germinate pretty easily! just gotta find a higher neighborhood to plant them in that won't be underwater by then. the powdery part tastes pretty good too, like a freeze dried lemon or something.
