Karach posted:Gotta get this poo poo straightened out by 2025 according to IPCC, and that doesn't even include their likely underestimating the warming effects of methane. Which means we're probably already in the death spiral. I'm sure it's fine that the "12 years to the point of no return" accelerated 7 years forward from 2032 in just two years. At this rate by 2032 we will realize the point of no return was 1995. Mission accomplished everyone. Carbon* Neutral** by*** 2050****.

Everything is completely and utterly hosed, capitalism won, but you should still have a garden and go on hikes and have a beehive and make habitats for critters and just be present for all of those things. Or become an urban planner or build wind mills (lol) or quit your oil and gas job (me) etc...

I sit in my cubicle, here on the motherworld. When I die, they will put my body in a box and dispose of it in the cold ground. And in all the million ages to come, I will never breathe or laugh or twitch again. So won't you run and play with me here among the teeming mass of humanity? The universe has spared us this moment.

Egg Moron posted:But only if you want to No I'm sorry just like visiting grandma is mandatory going on a hike and trying to create habitat for creatures, even if it's just a potted plant on your apartment balcony, is mandatory. Trying to actually fix things on a scale larger than one human is totally optional and should actually probably be avoided. Also hiking and gardening is also optional too I guess but anyone depressed about climate change should do it because it absolutely will make you feel better.

i really recommend finding out a native tree species in your area that's easy to grow, ordering some seeds online and trying to sprout them. native seed banks are run by beautiful crazy people all over the world, so guaranteed there will be one that stocks just about any semi-common species that you choose. getting to know a tree the moment it's out of the egg really helps you appreciate it. and if you find out you're good at it, you'll end up with a bunch of saplings you can then plant out in the wild.

silicone thrills posted:Giant Sequioa are about as fireproof as trees can get There's one on the property next door, the original owners smuggled a couple of seedlings in after a trip to the States in the early 90s. It's doing very well. I've been wondering if it's possible to propagate cuttings. I assume the house destruction is from the root system? I want to plant a bunch of Western Hemlock since they seem to be drought and shade resistant but I can't get any nurseries to talk to me about buying a flat or two of seedlings - just single specimens a couple of years old in gallon pots. I might have to diy that project. People keep talking about this biome going to a Garry Oak savannah but Garry Oaks are slow growing and aren't doing great in their native range on the south end of the island as it is. That might have more to do with developers than climate change.

I've been wondering if it's possible to propagate cuttings. lol I've got 2 massive western red cedars around my house and any time I see one of their babies sprouting where I dont really want it I carefully move them :3 From what I remember about sequioas they dont tend to root down very far - they dont form a tap root - so they spread very wide and are more prone to toppling in high wind situations. Tree seeds usually require some kind of overwintering mimicry to sprout - so literally shove some seeds into a pot and leave it over the winter and then the next spring or spring after that you can get the saplings and put them somewhere more permanent. If you cant do that, put them in the fridge for however long to mimic the winter.

IAMKOREA posted:I have a bunch of native trees I'd like to plant and I can collect seeds myself but how would you recommend going about sprouting and planting them? Just for instance let's say European Beech. If you are going to be doing any guerilla planting on land you don't own, I recommend getting bareroot saplings that are at minimum 3-4 feet tall because that is a size where people are just like "oh this tree obviously belongs here" (also if you wear a fluorescent vest while planting trees that size, people assume you're doing it as part of a project and either ignore your or even offer to help) Very young saplings will get stomped on by people who aren't paying attention or chopped by mowers or pulled up/sprayed by council workers/busybodies who are obsessed with "tidy" spaces, and they require minding to make sure they aren't overgrown by something else before they can become established. Bare root trees can only really be transported in the colder months when dormant as otherwise their roots will dry out, but also check out if there are any places in your area that will give you free/discounted native saplings because there are lots of native planting projects that will bury you in all the native plants you want. You want to ensure that wherever you plant them, they will be protected from grazing because tender young saplings are a delicacy for basically every grazing animal wild or domestic. Also before they get a decent root system established, they will be vulnerable to dying if the ground dries out too much. If you do decide to grow them from seed, start in small pots but don't leave them too long - they don't do well if you try to put them in too big a pot too early, but they are very prone to becoming rootbound as trees like beech have very shallow but wide reaching roots moreso than deep roots, so once the roots have to grown down deeper into a pot they will struggle to grow back out again when repotted. While growing trees from seed is a very wholesome experience to have and something I fully recommend in general, it takes a long time to get something you can plant out where you want it and where it has a decent chance of survival. Granted most of my experience comes from slow growing tress like oak, but saplings are tiny and fragile for the first few years of life. Also just know that you will be more emotionally destroyed when the saplings you've grown from seed for 2-4 years get wrecked by carelessness or design. In 2016 the council chopped down my favourite huge oak tree that had been here decades before this area was built up for an incredibly stupid reason (someone complained it was too tall and needed to be trimmed, but the contractors hired were absolute cowboys and butchered it beyond recovery). I spent the last few years struggling to grow saplings from its acorns or transplanting rogue saplings that popped up where it had grown before they could be mowed down, and of those that grew, every last one has been destroyed by accident or idiocy. I decided to save the last for my front garden where it would be more protected, and in December I watched in horror as a delivery guy hopped over the low wall and stomped the sapling into oblivion because I guess he decided that was easier than pushing open a gate. I love trees, and they break my heart over and over again

Hydrogen has twice the warming impact as previously believed. TIL: H2 is not a greenhouse gas. It causes indirect warming by producing more CO2 and H20. It reacts with OH to produce water. There is then less OH to react with methane, thus reducing a methane sink.
