Does building up your tolerance to heat reduce your tolerance to cold

I need to know which stat is best to put my points in.

Can I just go for tolerance to water? I think on balance that will be most useful

just wear cold resist gear, heat resist gear is much rarer

also while i have no doubt that its probably true you can increase heat tolerance by a number of differnet mechanisms, i do not think that the populations that are most susceptible to getting heatstroke are likely to, or even be able to, do those sorts of preventative behaviors

like are 70 year olds going to start a process of heat therapy? is a retirement home going to have coordinated heat exercise days? like, whats the liability the first time a 90 year old has a heart attack because you're doing a system-wide cool for the summer heatstroke practice

bonkers to see this stuff start getting posted already, too

Also, what are we actually talking about here? Generally when the washington post says that experts say there’s good news about a serious problem, the good news is that you can make it somewhat less bad by being middle class or better, and that often doesn’t even work.

This exciting new technique seems to be “get hot when it’s hot so it won’t seem as hot later, also exercise more.” I guess that’s fine, but it seems to me like what’s defining things lately is poo poo getting way worse than expected really suddenly. Like, take a walk when it’s 90 so 95 won’t feel as bad, sure, fine, but what happens at 115? I don’t know how to establish an internal precedent for the unprecedented and I’m not sure this advice is useful to people who can’t build saunas in their yards

As time goes on we'll screw up more and more local weather systems and trigger more tipping points, and the discourse will still be "oh if we just do this, this and this, we can reverse the damage." And we'll keep saying that while doing absolutely nothing until there's nothing left to screw up.

And what's more, we'll price it in. Carbon capture will never be viable but we'll increasingly say it is, while not doing it, and simply deducting the potential carbon capture from our emissions to say we're effectively net zero

As everyone knows, the problem with climate change is it's going to get hotter, so if you get used to it being a little hotter you personally will be fine. Because of course, it's going to only get a little hotter, and then stop, and there aren't going to be any other effects or issues caused by climate change and its consequences.

no you don't understand, we're going to die. climate change is the gun but most people don't even understand what the bullet is yet. ocean acidification.

extreme weather is fun and all and that'll kill millions and displace billions, leaving easily a quarter of humanity mostly from the global south at the hands of terrified first worlders and their rising fascism, but that's just bruises. climate change is the gun and ocean acidification is the bullet that will do the actual reaping

please do everything you can to make it stop

fosborb posted:

can you actually bother explaining what the chart is? i'd like to be able to interpret that in the future, tbh

drat dude not even a please or something? That's an enormous ask. Kids these days.

The short answer is that it shows anomalous winds on the equatorial band. Red is a slowing or reversal of trade winds, blue is an above average strengthening of trades. The former is associated with oscillations and other conditions that support El Nino, while the latter, La Nina.

You want to see strongly red signals in the pacific basin, especially the west pacific. That supports El Nino in the future and causes warm water to travel east to the NINO regions where a typical event forms, off South America.

You also want to see those anomalous red bands travel east over time to impart additional velocity to the warm water.

That's exactly what is happening right now and forecast to continue for the next couple of weeks. It will provide huge support for El Nino, but it takes a while for the water to get there (weeks).

The ideal is that after this large burst of anomalous winds, commonly referred to as a WWB or Westerly Wind Burst, we would either have one more major one, or the atmosphere would shift to a completely El Nino pattern, which would be less strong, but completely red, across the entire pacific basin, signaling a low frequency conversion to a +ENSO baseline.

It also shows like 9 other things including if those red anomalous winds produce cyclones, and a bunch of other poo poo.

And btw when I say "ideal" I mean ideal for El Nino to form. El Nino fucks up the world in various ways so it is extremely psychopath to WISH for it to occur, even if it can have some locally beneficial effects like rainfall in the southern USA or amazing surfing and skiiing.

You're not getting the long answer because it's literally "learn what El Nino and La Nina are all about from the ground up". I love that chart, it's my favorite El Nino chart by far, but I like it because it comes together to monitor several systems at once. If that's what you want to do, I'm all for it. Good luck friend.

I didn't think the AMOC needed blue ocean to shut down. Source: I have formerly worked on sea and land ice paleoclimate models.

edit: like, we used to not factor land ice loss into models before ~2014 but we have since and it's clear that land ice plays a much more dramatic role in Total Fuckumage than previously appreciated

I didn't mean that they were necessary for one another. Freshwater influx from the greenland ice melt will stop the AMOC, in between then and now we'll have a blue ocean event, maybe. I wonder whether the arctic will freeze over again when the AMOC collapses, at least for a while

I just heard about ocean acidification and it sounds like a good thing? Apparently the ocean can absorb all this excess CO2 in the form of some kinda acid. As usual the demoncats are overblowing a natural thing that resolves itself.

i am curious as to the mechanism by which ocean acidification is the thing that kills us all. like is the oxygen-producing capacity of cyanobacteria diminished at a pH value we are likely to hit? not to downplay things but i think every fish could die and we wouldnt all starve. ~40lb fish per capita vs ~200lb of rice per capita produced per year
