tldr: poster who got perma'd four years ago from a previous climate thread, for building a pipebomb and posting about doing an imminent ecoterrorism, turned out to be an e-buddy of the owner of this website, was let back on, and just pulled some different but equally hosed up poo poo in an attempt to get the covid thread shut down. cherry on top is that poster referenced their previous climate thread persona (as though it was a separate person) as an example of how doomthreads can turn people crazy.

i actually feel like the last few iterations of this thread have been pretty good about not having outright psychoposting (anime villain monologue posting is another story). but it's nice to have confirmation that "the goon who wanted to pipebomb cows" from thread lore was possibly (likely) completely astroturfed in an attempt to get the thread shut down.

I'm not supporting murdering cows by any means, but I can't get over how dumb it is that despite all the weapons out there that can kill ungulates from a safe distance, she somehow fixated on the idea of pipe bombs. I guess it's following the footsteps of the goon who tried to blow up a Gamecube by rupturing a propane tank and posted "AT HOSTPITAL LOST FINGAT POST MOTE LATER"

uh oh!

Tropical rainforests could get too hot for photosynthesis and die if climate crisis continues, scientists warn

quote:

The average critical temperature beyond which photosynthetic machinery in tropical trees begins to fail is 116 degrees Fahrenheit (46.7 degrees Celsius). Currently, only 0.01 % of all leaves surpass this critical temperature every year. But scientists warn that air temperature rises of 7.2 F (4 C) could push trees in tropical forests beyond a tipping point and into mass death.

"It's concerning from our perspective that you see nonlinear trends. So you heat the air by, let's say, 2, 3 degrees Celsius [3.6 to 5.4 F], and the actual upper temperature of these leaves goes up by 8 degrees [Celsius; 14.4 F],"



Plugging these peak temperatures into a mathematical model, the scientists found that an average 7 F (3.9 C) increase in the air temperature surrounding the leaves caused those most exposed to the heat to have their water-carrying stomata closed off by the tree, leading to their deaths. This triggered a cascade effect, increasing the temperature around the remaining leaves and potentially killing them, their branches and the trees in turn.

"If you have 10% of the leaves dying, the whole branch is going to be warmer because a critical part of that branch can no longer cool the broader branch. Likewise you can make that assumption across the whole forest when a tree dies," Doughty said.

Yet in spite of their findings, the scientists are optimistic that humanity has enough time to curb emissions and avoid potential tipping points in tropical forests.

"This is a glimpse into a potential tipping point. It is not saying that the tropical forests are now going to be savannas tomorrow," Fisher said. "If you think about human health, you want to know if you're sick or have cancer so you can deal with it before it takes over."

I’m optimistic too, I’m confident we’ll chop down all the rainforest before this becomes an issue :waycool:

have we tried solving the climate crisis by teaching economists to look two quarters into the future instead of one?

It does rock that a fundamental rule of economics is that the future matters less than the present. It will never make economic sense to save the future at the cost of present day profits.

Sorry the time value of money says that it’s better to destroy the world now for profits than to save it, numbers don’t lie!
