Fell Mood posted:Humanity has a death drive. And now that killing ourselves is finally within sight, it's not enough. The entire planet must cease to exist. That can do spirit is admirable, but physics is a harsh mistress. If we are very, very, lucky we might be able to create a run away Venus effect and sterilize the biosphere, but it's unlikely. Forget shattering the planet, we'll never even get close. I doubt the sentient Venusians managed to truly sterilise their planet way back when, there might still be some simple life there adapted to some crazy conditions, extremophile poo poo

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Any word out on that yet as to whether it's projected to explode or just kinda... usually erupt I doubt that it's going to explode, everything in that set of volcanic fields tends to be pretty effusive. It's right next to the few eruptions from the past few years. But it looks like it could be pretty big compared to those ones. I was seeing estimates on the high end of 8+km for the initial fissure. That will eventually focus down into a few cones though, and then it's just a question of how long it keeps going for. It's not going to be anything globally major afaik, but it will probably gently caress up that town and almost certainly gently caress up the blue lagoon

Icelandic fissures still ain't nothing to gently caress with. See: Skaftáreldar, aka the 1783 Laki eruption.

FFT posted:qntm has an essay for if you absolutely have to make the Earth not count as a planet anymore that's good reading. These all seem to be aimed at chunking the Earth into like, bite-sized pieces. Again, all I'm proposing here is that we rip open the Earth with a gash large enough to expose the core to vacuum, so that it cools and the planet is uninhabitable, thus ensuring no one will ever get to succeed us. I don't think that would cause it to no longer be classified as a planet.

New plastic pollutant monstrosity just dropped https://www.yahoo.com/news/researchers-horrified-discovering-mysterious-plastic-101500468.html In a horrifying discovery, geologists have found rocks made from plastic debris on Brazil’s remote Trindade Island. The island, which serves as an important refuge for green turtles, is more than 700 miles from land. The plastic rocks are evidence of how human pollution has now influenced Earth’s geological cycles. The geology team discovered in March that melted plastic had become intertwined with the rocks on the volcanic island, forming what they call “plastiglomerates.” By definition, a plastiglomerate is made up of rock fragments, sand grains, debris, and other organic materials welded together with once-molten plastic. “The pollution, the garbage in the sea, and plastic dumped incorrectly in the oceans is becoming geological material … preserved in the earth’s geological records,” Fernanda Avelar Santos, a geologist at the Federal University of Parana, told Reuters. The plastic rocks were found on a part of Trindade Island that is permanently preserved for green turtles to lay their eggs. In fact, the only inhabitants of the island are members of the Brazilian Navy, specifically there to protect the nesting turtles. “We identified [the pollution] mainly comes from fishing nets, which is very common debris on Trindade Island’s beaches,” Santos told Reuters. “When the temperature rises, this plastic melts and becomes embedded with the beach’s natural material.” ... The discovery of plastiglomerates may be a sign that the Earth is entering a new geological era — one where humans are leaving a significant and long-lasting impact on our planet. This era, as reported by the New York Times, is referred to as the Anthropocene epoch. “Plastics and plastiglomerates might well survive as future fossils,” Jan Zalasiewicz, a geologist at the University of Leicester in England, told the New York Times. “If they are buried within [layers of rock in Earth], I don’t see why they can’t persist in some form for millions of years.
