Maybe I'm just a dumb idiot but what are the chances that more solar energy means more energy that would have otherwise been reflected back into space being captured and released as waste heat from whatever it's powering and now being trapped in our little hell-bubble

As I sat in my garden, looking at green things, and looking at the blood from where I'd snagged myself on sharp metal oiling my AR-15, I thought "Is this really what the end days of empire look like? Everything is so tranquil, here. And eerily quiet, compared to ten years ago".

Almost all the heat that isn't trapped in topsoil or in water gets radiated out into space at night. I used to live in a mountain valley with zero soil (basically living on dry solid granite) and it would be sunny all day and like 40-50F in January but still get down to -20F to -30F at night. Oxygen and nitrogen don't hold heat at all, it just passes right through. Anyone who lives in a dry rocky desert is familiar with these temperature swings. This is why everyone fixates on the greenhouse gases, altering this chemistry even a little bit really fucks with the whole equation. Even if we generated massive amounts of heat with cheap fusion and huge electrical transmission losses it wouldn't matter at all compared to the CO2 and methane. We are so hosed lmao Pryor on Fire has issued a correction as of 21:33 on Jul 30, 2022 |

Even if we got all our energy from solar it would still be only 0.01% of it.

Microplastics posted:Always wondered this. Why did they project that maximum effort would necessitate halving the budget at some random point. Why are these lines squiggly at all? The underlying theory was "build research reactors to determine parameters of successful fusion" then use them for a while, then take the most successful designs and develop them. The actual scientists are a relatively small portion of the cost of fusion research, which requires a lot of specialized heavy machinery to be custom produced because there's no economy of scale to exploit. One of the smaller fusion projects I follow had to pay a tungsten forging company (of which there are not many) to get a larger casting press, because no one else has ever needed a solid flawless anode the same size as their project. It has literally never happened.

Probably different construction phases, you need a lot of money to build a prototype, the less to operate it, then more to build the demonstration unit, and so on.

Source4Leko posted:A few years ago in this thread someone posted a paper about how if you just continue the exponential growth of capitalism through the end of the 21st century you end up cooking us all to death just from waste heat from industrial processes, dont even need emissions. I might go looking for that paper later today. There’s this blog post by Tom Murphy: https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2011/07/galactic-scale-energy/, specifically the graph in the ‘thermodynamic limits’ section.

Microplastics posted:Always wondered this. Why did they project that maximum effort would necessitate halving the budget at some random point. Why are these lines squiggly at all? the lines all slope down towards the end of the project. presumably all/most the r'n'd costs are done with and that's the budget for the skeleton crew tiding up loose ends or expected continuous administrative and operational costs to keep it running. I think the hump in the middle of the lines is that there was an expected finalization of one stage of the project and a brief defunding before being reorganized to the next stage

Blast from Tonga’s Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano in January could eat away at ozone layer, warm Earthquote:In all, the plume shot approximately 146 billion kilograms of water into Earth’s stratosphere, an arid layer of the atmosphere that begins several miles above sea level, the authors report this month in Geophysical Research Letters. That’s equivalent to about 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools, or about 10% of the entire water content of the stratosphere, Millán says.
