r/collapse today is full of chuds who think trans rights and wokism will lead to collapse, as well as people who call you an eco fascist for pointing out that overshoot is our main problem, and people still in the early days of collapse awareness trying to bargain their way out of it with hopeful arguments. It’s gone to poo poo as it got more popular during Covid, and it will only get worse as normal people wake up and flock to it during whatever disasters are to come

I'm really miffed chuds have gone and ruined my apocalypse posting in this way, like when normies get in on my fave indie band, thus making it automatically suck. What can I lean into after we've collapsed this biosphere? Don't say "touch grass", it's on fire currently.

Climate event El Niño could hit the economy from food prices to clothing sales this year

quote:

“There are these major negative economic growth consequences where there’s extreme weather,” said Christopher Callahan, a Ph.D. candidate at Dartmouth and lead author on a study in the journal Science attributing $5.7 trillion in global income losses to the 1997-98 El Niño and $4.1 trillion in losses to the 1982-1983 El Niño.

quote:

That could affect prices for foods Americans eat every day: Futures in sugar and cocoa are trading at multi-year highs on predictions of shortages, while robusta coffee futures are trading at all-time highs. That can translate into higher prices for chocolate, for coffee and more. Higher food prices are a common theme across El Niño events, according to a recent Deutsche Bank report.

quote:

Callahan’s research for Dartmouth estimates that amplified El Niño patterns could produce “potentially devastating socioeconomic impacts” in the coming decades. He projects that El Niño weather events could cause $84 trillion in economic losses in the 21st century.

Prices were already out of control from corporate greed but the price jump resulting from crop devastation is rearing its ugly head in my area. I've seen cherries go for 11.99 a pound and strawberries for 6.99 a pound at the grocery stores. I cannot find a 16 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips under $6. The store-brand brown sugar I used to get jumped from $2 to $5.


Getting a flat of tayberries and some currants for $15 was basically an insane deal for me today.

Canada's Durham wheat production is forecast to increase by 6.9% this year so pasta is secure. We're encouraged to check back every couple of weeks though, just to see how things are going.

Agricultural economists: "El Nino? Is that something that happens outside? :dafuq:

However, farmers are going to need rain in the next few weeks or crops will become stressed due to the hot weather.

Reality stopped being a thing a while back. Need to get with the programme, because nothing we do has consequences and so we are finally free.

But also maybe we can bargain with reality if it does actually exist.

We don't eat white sugar ourselves but we still feed several 20 kg bags per year to bees, hummingbirds, and yeast. We might have to let the bees keep more of their honey for winter stores instead of robbing it for ourselves and feeding them sugar water to get through the cold season. It would be hilarious if sugar got so expensive it fixed the widespread problem of counterfeit honey - sugar water with a bit of real honey mixed in (or artificial colouring for the ultra-fake stuff). But I guess economics doesn't work that way and honey will skyrocket in price even worse and it will still be profitable to put fake tubs of honey-flavoured sugar syrup on the market.

There was unfavourable weather during the cherry pollination period here so cherries too are :stare:. This is a continuing problem on the coast so growers here are cutting their trees down and planting other things. I just put 4 new dwarf cherries in over the last three years. :suicide: Ah well, pretty flowers in the spring.


Blessed are old people who plant trees knowing that they their children their grandchildren no one shall ever sit in the shade of their foliage.

I hear Canadia planted a great many such trees and now most of the eastern coast of CONUS gets to enjoy their shade via voluminous toxic cloud action. It's more efficient that way and could only come from the free market.

My favourite part of that hypothetical exchange (although you know this was a real person's argument somewhere) is that, even without greenhouse gases, we'd cook the planet to an even boil by virtue of simple waste heat. It's actually impossible to go another few centuries with our present growth rate even if every RE tech, every carbon sequestration plan, and every reduce/reuse/recycle initiative worked 100% as advertised.

Imagining the bargaining stage, but for a whole species reliant on tech to undo previous problems. Probably has more nukes flying than I'm thinking.

EDIT: lol, I forgot, that whole thing is actually a callback to a real convo. I need to reread it all again and have a little laugh/cry.
