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.

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
Scientists can very easily demonstrate how the amount of energy we use, which goes out into the earth's system, causes what effects. But we just don't want to know it. It's too disturbing to know we're hosed, and the more we continue to do what we do the worse it will change things

There is nothing except population collapse that will reverse the problematic effects of human existence.

Someone please post the tuberculosis post again.

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.

It's time for the earth-space battery study.

I love those little guys, unfortunately we don't see much of them. Barred owls eat everything including Pygmy Screech and Saw Whet and if you're going to sit on the ridge for several hours yelling like an electronic device throwing an alarm well...

A former governor general of Canada lived in our area on waterfront property overlooking the Salish Sea. One night the authorities including the Coast Guard scrambled to investigate a weird alarm near her mansion. Eventually the CCG figured out they were hunting an owl. I love it when Nature trolls us.

Nope, no way this isn't just an elaborate troll. No way the world is that stupid.



otoh they might be targetting people who would buy crypto in which case maybe it is and I'm glad I started with the owls first this morning.

you guys heard about Flaco? he's a eurasian eagle-owl who lived in the central park zoo for more than 12 years. he escaped a few months ago after someone cut open his cage. zoo staff tried to capture him, and said he wouldn't survive outside of captivity

turns out,

https://twitter.com/Above96th/status/1638583354403553280?s=20

he's a celebrity among birders here. zoo staff eventually gave up, now he's big and healthy and famous

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaco_(owl)

i generally don't like zoos. his habitat was seriously smaller than my bathroom, and i live in loving queens. whoever "vandalized" his cage is a hero

There are hundreds of distinct articles and research press releases that contain a variation on that phrase over the last few years. Everything is always worse, faster, and sooner. But sure, it's the "doomers" that are wrong
