Zeta Taskforce posted:Why are we panicking? This is a G1 level storm 1.) It's a joke 2.) geomagnetic storms are triggered by coronal mass ejections that have to travel between the sun and the earth, so the current G1 storm is from several smaller CME impacts that started on the 16th. That's why your link talks about the 17th and 18th. The flare that tweet is about was of an unusual duration which triggered a S2 radiation storm and is estimated to cause a G2/G3 geomagnetic storm when the trailing edges of it hit earth on July 20th. Not unheard of but still, it's a joke. Flares travel at the speed of light, the coronal mass ejected by them does not.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires hung in the air.

Jokerpilled Drudge posted:was hoping for a carrington level event would be a good twist from the writers room The common and medium strength M class flare earlier today that caused the upcoming July 20th CME hit wasn't earth facing (3363) but was of an exceptionally long duration.  So as we enter the solar maximum you can always hope for one of those multi-hour eruptions on an earth facing sunspot like 3373. We usually get glancing blows from portions of edges of the stellar material but getting bathed in it could get interesting. We would have a couple days notice too but there is no way to know exactly how hard of a hit we will take until it arrives.

Trees can't absorb enough CO2, but they sure can drink a lot of water. Heavy tree planting has straight up wrecked streams and rivers in some areas. We're never going to learn the correct lesson, which is that we can't solve our massive and uncontrolled geoengineering project with another massive and uncontrolled geoengineering project. But still, it's funny that Republicans are almost certainly going to end up outflanking Democrats on this issue by proposing legitimately ambitious schemes that, while worthless, are still somehow better than shoving money at loving automakers.

It's indeed pretty funny that there's ONE party that believes -- superficially at least -- that better things are possible. It's unfortunate they happen to be the modern American Nazi party in all but name, and that their headline projects will be worthless at best and poison pills at worst.

Good folk, my proposal is thus: plant a trillion trees, harvest them, and sink them to the bottom of the ocean. There, we use the trees to build underwater habitats to house miners who will drill for even more oil on the seabed!

We were always headed down this path once Democrats became the status quo at any cost party. The only possible outcome is people eventually flocking to the literal fascists who at least say they're going to do something to improve material conditions for people with certain skin tones, sexual orientations, and genders.

Lmao one of the things holding back (thankfully) deep sea floor mining is staffing & automation. As in, our capital class wants not only rip up the seabed, they don't want to pay anyone wages ever to do it.
