You guys talkin about the epa ruling? The plaintiff is a convicted child sex trafficker


https://www.eenews.net/articles/winner-of-major-scotus-wetlands-case-in-jail-for-sex-crime/#:~:text=According%20to%20an%20indictment%2C%20Sackett,12%2Dyear%2Dold%20girl. posted:

Michael Sackett, who beat U.S. EPA in a big Supreme Court case, has been in the news again this week as the justices heard another case over water permits.

Sackett, meanwhile, is serving time in jail for a sex crime.

Sackett, 50, was sentenced in 2015 to a year in prison after pleading guilty to coercion and enticement as part of a North Dakota sting operation. According to an indictment, Sackett exchanged text messages with an undercover police officer in 2013 in which he agreed to pay for sex with a 12-year-old girl.

So the court sided with this pedo to build his house in a swamp

Nature is in its worst shape in human history, UN report says

Nature is in more trouble now than at any other time in human history, with extinction looming over one million species of plants and animals, scientists said Monday in the UN's first comprehensive report on biodiversity.

It's all because of humans, but it's not too late to fix the problem, the report by the United Nations says.

People aren't asking the real questions, like "do you think the next intelligent life to form will find our cracked and sunbleached bones and dig up our fallen civilization or is there not enough time for the planet to right course and another one to evolve before the heat death of the universe"

*Death of the sun.

IIRC we have about a billion years left of habitability before the sun gets too hot for us to have liquid water, and it will gradually increase in temperature until then.

It's only a few hundred million years or so until things are too blasted out for complex life. More heat/moisture means silicate rock weathering happens faster, which removes CO2 from the atmosphere (dissolved CO2 forms a weak carbonic acid, this reacts with silicate rocks and locks up the carbon). This is a long-term negative feedback on temperature variations, but the warming will drive it to a point where there's very little CO2 left, so photosynthesis crashes and you don't have good primary production.

The scifi nerd in me loves this scenario but I don't think we actually have enough stored carbon on earth to make the Venus style runway effect happen. Sadly the most likely outcome is that we poison earth for ourselves just enough to cause an extinction event and be forgotten about by the bird people or roachmen or whatever

Someone pointed out recently that the temperature saw 10c of warming with similar to today levels of insane GHG forcing during the Permian Triassic extinction event, however the luminosity of the sun was thirty percent lower back then.

It's also an emerging contaminant in aquatic ecosystems (thank you urban wastewater systems), can find its way back into drinking water, and could even potentially be aersolized through wastewater aeration pools!

I'm glad we're doing our part to help the biosphere be less depressed.

But where the gently caress do you get ketamine? It's hard enough to find shrooms, and anybody with a closet can grow those.

Shrooms helped me with mine but that was after exhausting all other options and being a fairly non functional human being.

But something like 1/4 women have had serious traumatic experiences so its uh not great that ketamine in particular gets so relied on.


Anyway I went on a nice hike yesterday and posted some pictures over to the covid thread and may as well put them here too because critters are cool.

There were lots of these little squirrels that were hamming it up for the camera, I swear. Just adorable



I have a very good camera lens so I was quite far away from this deer. I've never really seen one just hanging out on a trail before and it was aware of us just watching and eventually went up into the brush, we passed by, and it popped back down into the path to keep grazing. wild encounter.

I think it's more like an issue where there's just not enough stuff to trigger the runaway event short of like strip mining down to the oil fields and lighting them on fire

We will die off long before we exhaust deep stores of carbon enough to boil the ocean and hyper pressurize the surface.

NOAA updated their CO2 equivalent ppm number for 2022 with a new method in accordance with IPCC recommendation

number now stands at 523 ppm, an increase of 4 ppm over 2021, and notably an increase of 11 over where it would have been with the old method

things have thus gotten funnier faster than expected
