netizen posted:was gonna finally get my poo poo together this year too. Oh well. It's never too late to get your poo poo together friend! Once fully digested, the climate collapse should give you clarity. It highlights the absurdity and futility that all human life has always been defined by. To construct meaning in the face of tragedy is the most complete expression of human fullness. Stare into the Abyss and in full defiance tell it to gently caress off. Either that or embrace sex, drugs, and rock n' roll, both are pretty valid.

Notorious R.I.M. posted:It took me a long time to come to grips with what a biosphere collapse with no definable inflection point looks like. I think the best mental analogy I've developed over time is that we're experiencing something like a global dementia or death by Alzheimer's. First we slowly forget what it was like to live in a hospitable world. Then we get angry at those trying to remind us that things were ever different. Then we forget all of the progress we built up - the medicine, the food production methods, the technology and tools. Then our collective memory is shredded by the extinction bottleneck itself until it's only passed down by whatever (if anything) remains of us.

Mr Hootington posted:Nice day today There hasn't really been a single "nice" day here all summer. Literally Florida weather in CT. Hot, incredibly humid, and punctuated by random and massively intense downpours. Also the smoke. The smoke is fun. It's a nice change.

Microplastics posted:Of course, the biggest caveat of all is that i let people define 'collapse' for themselves. If someone defines it as "internet stops being a thing" and someone else defines it as "average life expectancy across the globe hits 25" then they might pick different dates even if they completely agree on the timeline of specific things happening Can't wait for this

gently caress COREY PERRY posted:there's an old YouTube video of a lecture from like 2014 that got posted in the last thread and I've quoted a few times, it's entirely about how ice core sampling from Greenland reveal past temperature swings of like 6° in the span of 2-3 years 20 minutes in as you said previously lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRs4kIthJ9k

relax yall. things will be fine. IF things get bad some smart entrepreneurial scientists, like elon musk, will fix it, just like we always have. there's plenty of profit to be found in fixing doom, where profit is found a way will follow.

Collapse indicators, in no particular order, imo: The forums go down, don't come back up The year of no snow Food gets hard to buy The year of no frost Phones stop working / internet failure The mail stops Food can't be bought Actual serious riots with casualties TV stops / radio stops Can't buy / hard to buy fossil fuels Blackouts progressing to permanent blackouts If it ends up being a slow grind down who knows, maybe we can "transition" back to horses & oxcarts, but I think no longer being able to buy cheap energy is probably a big deal. Real harbinger that things are not going to be OK. No internet, no TV, people will flip the gently caress out. Putting stress on food in a serious way so that people who don't think they are poor have problems with food? People being forced to see their class is going to cause the biggest problems I bet. Some basic functions can fallback to the old ways, and maybe some kinda rolling rationing of resources would be accepted, but if it's a hard spigot cutoff it'll be rough

I’ll be interested to see how the government and media messaging works and at what point it just sort of peters out. 2020 was very educational, and I halfway expect people six months from now to be talking about how summer is over and it’s time to move on

I’m just wondering out loud what the slide from “wow ten hurricanes at once, the president will make a speech” down to “hurricanes are so common we’re not going to track them any more” will look like. When will we have the last presidential disaster photo op?
