China's one child policy seemed pretty dope imo. Ethic minorities got exceptions too, it only applied to the perfidious Han.

It's why you never see a lefty picking up a gun and going hog wild, ultimately they still have too much to lose, know it wont do anything, etc. As more and more people have to move around, the contradiction between the global northerner and southerner will increasing visible instead of hidden away through 'supply chains', squirreled away into factories, farms and what not. The focus on population is the global northerner saying this: You are going to force me to choose. When the choice is between an uncertain solidarity and the devil you know, when the stability of the people you know depends upon the status quo you sneered at your whole life then I have some doubts that folks will be willing to break for their principles rather than bend.

We should try to glorify beautiful American climate innovation like the Hyperloop sometimes so we stay objective, focused, and balanced ^ keeping fish alive in urban rivers is hard. The Don River has basically none left, Humber has stocked salmon and a few others Isentropy has issued a correction as of 12:56 on Jul 22, 2022 |

Thinking about all the fossil fuels inputs that allow our current massive overpopulation (doubled in the last 50 years) and how nothing bad will happen once those inputs are shut simultaneously with global conditions worsening. If anything we should have more people.

Good explainer on the jet stream / heatwaves https://www.ft.com/content/bb9ecca3-c914-489d-af7d-06df6010d1ea (paywalled) quote:The deadly heatwaves that have fuelled blazes and caused transport disruptions in Europe, the US and China this month have one thing in common: a peculiar shape in the jet stream dubbed “wavenumber 5”. Add "wavenumber 5" to the list of sinister lexicon, alongside "meltwater pulse" and "blue ocean event"  quote:It can also generate heatwaves when it forms into a U-bend shape, called an “omega block” because it resembles the shape of the Greek letter omega.  quote:Belcher says three factors contributed to the heatwave over Europe: the wavenumber 5 pattern in the jet stream; the increase in global average temperatures; and the dry soils, particularly around the Mediterranean, resulting from prolonged hot weather.  quote:Because the Arctic is warming much faster than the rest of the planet, there is less temperature difference between those air masses now.

lollontee posted:it sure seems like america as a society is making the decision to just ignore the whole problem and hope it goes away. do people around you actually talk to each other about climate change? like, unprompted by your doomsingers thimbre my boss unprompted starting talking about climate change yesterday when we went out for lunch specifically he trotted out the "i know it's happening but how do we know it's people doing it?" line i basically said "models are the best predictor we've got, they've proven true so far, and if anything they've underestimated the impact so far" and he shut up about it same guy used to think ol' musky is a genius and after finally talking him out of that over several conversations i don't think i care enough to talk him out of this position

tbh if you did actually convince him that Musk is a conman and not a tech genius, he probably thinks you're smart and said that unprompted to get your take on it. A lot of people who only get their news from TV have only been exposed to the information/arguments that are repeated ad nauseam, and it isn't until they repeat it to someone who knows better that they get actual, useful information.

Can't speak to any specific situation but I've found through experience random people are much less likely to be offended by cspam-ish opinions than anyone who tends to feel personally invested in politics like a cable news junkie, nonprofit or government employee.
