TehSaurus posted:My group of college friends from 20 years ago has a fairly active email thread still somehow. I often wonder of I should be asking then what they think of the future. The hope is that they could also become radicalized by the existential risk to their children, but I also feel it is kind of cruel to confront them with it when there’s nothing any of them can do about it. Although someone just had a kid a month or so ago, and maybe that’s some suffering that could have been prevented? Yeah, anyone who's had kids in the last 10 years or so is beyond reaching. You'd have to be pretty much criminally insane to have to even considered it, so just let them be

I hate that the thread always acts like this is some Herculean feat. To wit, I sat my cousin down, ran through everything, and ended with, "and that's why you shouldn't have children." He mostly agreed but held onto a glimmer of hope. Our relationship stayed the same and last month I congratulated him on the birth of his daughter.  Poor thing.

A Bakers Cousin posted:Saudi Cows!!!! It's true. The Saudis also buy land with rights to fossil water, then they drain it for alfalfa and other feed. Once the waters are gone they leave, with all the residents who were using the water before the Saudis arrived now unable to live.

500 good dogs posted:"it poses no health or safety risks being released in this manner" rofl  Freon is only immediately dangerous as a compressed non-oxygen gas. It can asphyxiate in confined spaces, or cause frostbite burns. The reason it was used all over is because it's pretty non reactive in normal use. It won't create a toxic cancer pit, dead zone, or death cloud. But oops, it turbo fucks the ozone layer. So we actually stopped using it. That's why fishing boats carry around 10 tons of the poo poo.

well according to some bullshit online there was probably ~23,000 tons in storage about ten years ago, so 10 tons isn't that much yet. looking up the cost it's like $50 - $140 /lb so apparently that boat just had merely $100,000 - $280,000 worth of it for whatever purpose i guess keeping the fish cool.

It's pretty amazing how simple mass/energy balances give you a pretty good intuition for the future state of a system. You banned the use of freon but left 23000 tons in storage? Sorry, simple entropy states it's going to leak and gently caress your ozone at some point in the future. As has been stated before by other posters, simple free energy balance ensures we'll never put the co2 genie back in the bottle as long as our energy source is majority carbon based. Same as guns! Throw a bunch of guns into a chaotic system and you inevitably produce gun related deaths.

Dump a bunch of extra energy into your atmosphere from waste heat and green house effect and suddenly your climate is more chaotic and intense! Who could have known?

i p sure they didn't ban use, merely manufacture also for unrelated reasons i was listening to lard's 70s rock must die which came out in 2000 lol it's 3 songs, about not letting go of the fuckin 70s, environmental pollution, & busting into the capitol (well, ledbetter pulling a florida man) in the quarter century since it came out basically nothing fundamentally changed i guess. same old time concepts running things, same shitshows.
