Stereotype)

this thread is the greatest testament to human ingenuity and industriousness that I could ever imagine every day you get to read incontrovertible proof that our capability for geoengineering has exceeded even our wildest expectations

It's really incredible that the industrial era that set us on this clear path of destruction only started a few hundred years ago and we've managed to literally change the weather and raise sea levels by a foot in some areas since then. Aren't humans amazing?

a strange fowl posted:don't you curse me Şerefli mektûbunuz ve latîf yazılarınız geldi. Allahü teâlâya hamd olsun! Okuyunca, fakîrlere sevginiz ve bağlılığınız anlaşıldı. Çünki bu sevgi, se’âdetin sermâyesidir. Onlar, Allahü teâlânın celîsleridir, hep Onunla birlikdedirler... Nasîhatların başı şudur ki, islâmiyyetin sâhibine “aleyhissalâtü vesselâmü vettehıyye” uymak lâzımdır. Resûlullaha uymıyanlar, âhıretde azâbdan kurtulamaz. Bundan sonra, dünyânın süslerine düşkün olmamak, varlığına ve yokluğuna aldırış etmemek lâzımdır. Çünki, Allahü teâlâ dünyâyı sevmez, ona kıymet vermez. Bunun için, kulun dünyâlığı olmakdansa, olmaması dahâ iyidir. Dünyânın kimseye fâide vermediğini ve elden çabuk çıkdığını herkes bilmekde, hattâ görmekdedir. Dünyânın malına, mevkı’ine düşkün olanların, bunlara kavuşmak için uğraşıp da, ânsızın hepsini bırakıp gidenlerin hâlini görerek ibret alınız! Allahü teâlâ, bizi ve sizi, Peygamberlerin en üstününe “aleyhi ve alâ âlihissalâtü vesselâm” uymakla şereflendirsin! Âmîn.

This week it was announced that for the first time in history there is a drought in the Magallanes region. So much for my plan of riding this out in the Patagonia, lol.

The biosphere is more like the thin layer of oil and condiment on the fragile skin of the dumpling, wrapped around a hot molten metal core.

I'm just glad the biosphere has lasted juuuust long enough for me to be born and enjoy the very height of luxury. And I'm hoping it lasts juuuust long enough for me to continue to do so before I perish

What's sadder and more infuriating than the grim topic we discuss here is the various in person responses from people out there, denial and coping and insanity. "This has happened before" "We always innovate and build it'll be fine" "Your life seems good you should be grateful" "Illuminati/God/aliens won't let that happen" Or just flat out "you're wrong it's not that bad in fact it's getting better because [x]"

watched the lorax with my six year old this morning. kiddo was pretty attentive to the story for once, and made me laugh when the last tree was cut down and he commented “oh he is dumb annnnnnnd bad” also having the evil corporate boss called a literal dirtbag at the end of the movie was a hoot. feel like that wouldnt pass by the execs today.

BRJurgis posted:What's sadder and more infuriating than the grim topic we discuss here is the various in person responses from people out there, denial and coping and insanity. it's been weirdly contentious for me Anecdotally, Climate Change used to come up pretty irregularly in social settings. Maybe when Obama signed the Paris Accords or something every so often. I'd run into the usual mix of people who are defensive or clueless but now due to a constant stream of disaster, bad weather and noticeable impacts on people's daily lives that weren't there before a lot of people are fuckin mad ...at the person who talks about climate change. I gave up talking about it entirely because now several people go research weird flat earth tier misunderstandings of science and proudly call me out like it's some kind of rap battle. "If plymouth rock was where pilgrims landed 400 years ago, why isn't it below the waves? The sea is rising right?  ""Well they broke the rock several times for souvenirs and moved it twice so I don't really think that's an indication of anything. " "Then what happened to Florida being under water? huh? Al Gore said it would sink beneath the waves in 2012. I thought the water was rising." "Uhhhh it's definitely rising? The original timeline was 2100 and we are beating that in speed and frequency." It's developed into this weirdly regressive set of people who weren't necessarily republicans before this. A liberal geologist I know is sharing facebook memes about greta thunberg forcing people to stop using gas stoves to control them and it isn't ironic.

Rectal Death Adept posted:it's been weirdly contentious for me Wow that's the third time I've heard geologist associated with climate stupidity, had a dude from the "actually its getting better you're wrong" camp smugly quote a geologist as his source. Like blatantly "what do you know, a geologist told me we're fine". Think I know a geologist from back in school gotta ask her why that seems to to a thing.

To be fair if you're a geologist you're probably going to be like "yeah the planet will survive no big deal"
