I love climate models, you can always take the "business as usual" scenario, which is provided by the scientists as a "lol, this would be real bad wouldn't it? Good thing it isn't reasonable we'd do that" as the baseline and expect things to be actually worse.

SixteenShells posted:It worked out okay in Centralia. quote:it's estimated that underground coal fires generate as much as 3% of the world's total annual CO2 emissions while consuming 5% of the planet's mineable coal. edit: quote:In Jhaia, India, a series of coal mine fires have been burning since 1916, consuming about 40 million tons of coal and leaving 1.5 billion tons inaccessible. Researchers estimate that, if the fire continues to move at the current rate, the flames will persist for another 3,800 years. OIL PANIC has issued a correction as of 05:51 on Nov 16, 2023 |

Also, the rate of anthropogenic climate change is occurring faster than the lifespans of these species to adapt! Even the PETM gave the biosphere 20,000 years to work with!

A Plea To Car Haters: Stop Hating Cars How vehicle-dependence makes the country fairer and more efficient [quuote]more Americans than ever are consigning themselves to a car-defined existence by choosing to live in the suburbs. [...] For many, the main attractions of suburbia are lower housing costs and greater safety. Yet recent research sheds light on how cars are a crucial part of the equation, making America’s suburbs both impressively efficient and equitable.[/quote] go on quote:Start with convenience. It is well-known that American cities are configured for vehicles, a process that began in the 1920s with the Model T. Car-centric urban designs became dominant throughout the country, involving wide roads, ample access to expressways and parking galore. To varying degrees, other countries have copied that model. Yet America has come closest to perfecting it. perfecting it. But wait, can we get an expert opinion to back this up quote:In a paper released in August, supported by the World Bank, yes? quote:a group of economists oh, do tell!!! quote:examined road speeds in 152 countries. Unsurprisingly, wealthy countries outpace poor ones. And within the rich world, America is streets ahead: its traffic is about 27% faster than that of other members of the oecd club of mostly rich countries. Of the 20 fastest cities in the world, 19 are in America. Ok... so...? quote:It is not that American roads are better in and of themselves. Rather, speed is a testament to America’s love affair with both suburbia and smaller towns that feel suburban. Compared with those in other OECD countries, American cities are 24% less populous, cover 72% more area and have 67% more large roads. All this enables drivers to zip around. sooo......? quote:Driving speed shrinks distance. One fashionable concept among urban planners these days is the “15-minute city”, the goal of building neighbourhoods that let people get to work, school and recreation within 15 minutes by foot or bike. Many Americans may simply fail to see the need for this innovation, for they already live in 15-minute cities, so long, that is, as they get around by car. Most of the essentials—groceries, school, restaurants, parks, doctors and more—are a quick drive away for suburbanites. lmao. Economists, everyone quote:The car’s ubiquity has another rarely appreciated benefit. please quote:A recent study by Lucas Conwell of Yale University and colleagues examined urban regions in America and Europe. They calculated “accessibility zones”, defined as the area from which city centres can be readily reached. Although European cities have better public transport, American cities are on the whole more accessible. Consider the size of accessibility zones 15-30 minutes from city centres. If using public transport, the average is 34 square kilometres in America versus 63 square kilometres in Europe. If using private cars, the difference is much starker: 1,160 square kilometres in America versus 430 square kilometres in Europe. "we molested some numbers until they told us that cars good" quote:it is precisely such accessibility that has put larger homes and quieter streets within reach for a remarkably wide cross-section of the country. In his analysis of the census from 2020, William Frey of the Brookings Institution, a think-tank, showed that suburbia has become far more diverse over the years. In 1990 roughly 20% of suburbanites were non-white. That rose to 30% in 2000 and 45% in 2020. "in fact cars are anti-racist" quote:Not that cars are a panacea. Owning or renting one costs plenty of money, and is an especially big burden for the working poor. It is therefore common to hear laments in American cities about the sorry state of mass transit. Yet this general perception, though widespread, is not entirely accurate. Even if primarily built for private cars, roads are a shared resource and can be viewed as the “tracks” for buses. what quote:In their study Mr Conwell and his colleagues conclude that bus-based transportation in America is surprisingly effective: public-transit options between distant suburbia and city centres are roughly comparable in America and Europe. Although America could do more to improve its bus services within its urban cores, the crucial point is that cities designed for cars can also support mass transit. "roughly comparable" doing a lot of heavy lifting i'm willing to wager.
