Just ask them what they think about this buoy wall with knives on it. It's designed to drown people. The Biden admin is perfectly fine with it and continues to build the wall.

easy solution, just throw ice into the river. why do i have to fix everything.

Use the power output to refrigerate the intake water to cool the reactors.

... No, I don't know where the waste heat from the refrigeration will go, stop asking.

no, take the ice from the alps. there's so much ice up there. just dump it all down on the river! bring a glacier down. use displaced migrants from north africa to do it, if you want it done cheap.

Is it a thermodynamic issue or a regulatory one

According to this it's a regulatory cap, but rather than for protecting fish it's to provide a safety buffer for when your cooling water isn't cool enough to adequately protect against a meltdown.

shooting a high intensity IR laser into space wouldn't work because it would dissipate most of its energy just into the atmosphere. you'd have to get the energy to power the laser up near space first somehow, maybe with a huge fleet of balloons. too bad americans hate balloons

The IPCC got this pretty spot on in their Global Warming of 1.5 ºC report (SR15) in 2018: https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/




quote:

In the 2020s, internal climate variability leads to higher warming than projected, in a reverse development to what happened in the so-called ‘hiatus’ period of the 2000s. Temperatures are regularly above 1.5°C of warming, although
radiative forcing is consistent with a warming of 1.2°C or 1.3°C. Deadly heatwaves in major cities (Chicago, Kolkata, Beijing, Karachi, São Paulo), droughts in southern Europe, southern Africa and the Amazon region, and major flooding in Asia, all
intensified by the global and regional warming (Chapter 3, Sections 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3, 3.3.4 and 3.4.8; Cross-Chapter Box 11 in Chapter 4), lead to increasing levels of public unrest and political destabilization (Chapter 5, Section 5.2.1). An
emergency global summit in 2025 moves to much more ambitious climate targets. Costs for rapidly phasing out fossil fuel use and infrastructure, while rapidly expanding renewables to reduce emissions, are much higher than in Scenario 1, owing to a failure to
support economic measures to drive the transition (Chapter 4). Disruptive technologies become crucial to face up to the adaptation measures needed (Chapter 4, Section 4.4.4).


Maybe getting the specific regions wrong, but the overall effect is spot on. we're not experiencing something that proves climate science is woefully optimistic, it is proving that popular and political understanding of the climate science is purposefully wrong.

the science is right, which is why all the scientists are flabbergasted no one is listening, but because part of the capitulation to capitalism that allowed western scientific academia to thrive involved throwing science communication and most importantly political science communication out. so we have now generation of good scientists who at best don't know how to effectively communicate, let alone politically, or worse actively think it is unethical for them to attempt to use their findings to make the world a better place outside of marketization.

i didn't really get it until a reread but i think Talents is crucial because it shows you can't actually escape. at the end of the first book all she did was recreate the walls her father had around his suburban development (she just put distance between herself and the problem. you have to deal with the problem head on.

and while on my first read i thought the religion stuff was a strange turn, it was a way to advocate for organization and agitation without being explicit about her politics.
