The Oldest Man posted:something that gets me every time is that the last known living wild passenger pigeon was shot I looked up the reference so I could share: quote:54. Ectopistes migratorius. Passenger Pigeon. Once an abundant summer resident. Several pigeon roosts in Pike county were well known to old settlers. On March 24, 1900, a solitary individual was shot by a small boy near Sargents, close to the boundary line of Pike and Scioto counties, and mounted by the late wife of ex-Sheriff C. Barnes, of Pike county. This is the only authentic record for twenty years.

Remember that show deadliest catch and how they'd overfill the boats with crab to the point that by the time they got to port a large amount of the crabs would be dead and unable to be sold. Finally, Deadliest Catch can be cancelled due to all the crabs going extinct.

Unless posted:my favorite version of this is when the solution to pollution was dilution so now we can’t eat fish more than twice a week without getting mercury poisoned its insanely hosed up that we treated the entire ocean as a giant heatsink for our all of out trash that it's permanently polluted with insane amounts of oils, heavy metals, and micro/nano-plastics that are completely destroying the ability for most live to thrive and that's just pollution, to say nothing of temperatures! even if we magically cut co2 entirely overnight, a ton of ocean life is done for just from trashing them so badly. straight up in our lifetimes, and and not that far away, we'll see the complete extinction of whales, and probably other species like dolphins to follow. they already can't reproduce anymore and the last ones are on their way out.

Remember when Red Lobster had the all-you-can-eat crab and then they ran out of crab?Jizzny Princess posted:https://twitter.com/ScienceNotDogma/status/1743361723938304305 Lol this is the exact same thing that happened to the Atlantic cod fishery. Once they fished the cod out the whole structure of that ecosystem reorganized itself (or, "collapsed" is probably a more apt term) so there basically wasn't a place for them anymore in the trophic levels, so the numbers never recovered

I am reading about those crabs and, apparently, before they had to cancel the season for the first time last year the council in charge of setting the quotas had more than double the amount of crab (from 19 to 45 million pounds) allowed to be caught in just 3 years (2017 - 2020), while knowing their population was at risk due to climate change. And then they are all suprised pikachu about the goddamn "missing" crabs. What crabs you assholes?

Zodium posted:oh? societies began to ossify around authority at some point... for reasons i don't think the book really makes crystal clear. chauvinism? chance? timing and industrialization? the authors don't actually seem super concerned, they seem more focused on demonstrating that things were not always the way they are now, and there's nothing inherently biological/etc. about how we structure our societies. which i find pretty hopeful. what i don't find hopeful, and what I'm thinking about with that post, is that we don't have space and time to play and leave and disobey anymore. literally, politically, and as a matter of survival. the threatening pressures of climate change make those things impossible; we all must get on the same page, immediately, or else. and it's just not something that's happened in the past. people disagreed, left, did their own thing, to either fail or flourish. People still have those desires, which we have dealt with for millennia now, but there's no room for them anymore, nor is there time. obviously that's gonna lead to some... problems. i'm not fleshing this out super well. it's beyond "well, people don't just get along." it's such a good book that i took too long to get through, and i probably need to read again or find some lectures by david wengrow to understand more fully.

gradenko_2000 posted:even if it's off by some and it "only" gets to -20C that's still about as cold as it was outside of Moscow in December 1941 (sorry, that's my only frame of reference for "catastrophically cold winter") That’s not a map of temperatures, that’s a map of temperature anomalies. So it isn’t saying “it will be -50F” it is saying “it will be 50F degrees colder than average for that date”

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:yeah i dunno that i've given this enough thought, but one of the big ideas in the book is those three freedoms, and how they have shaped the development of human societies. there was once an ability to "play" with societal structure, sometimes have those structures vary within a society dependent upon season, etc. but that always required a certain amount of space/resources, lest you then impinge on another society's play space... i think you're fleshing it out very well, i just haven't had the wherewithal for posting much lately. so really it's me who isn't fleshing things out very well. in any case, the idea that a tendency which is initially helpful eventually reaches a critical point and becomes harmful, but now you can't go back so you have to figure something new out to go forward from there or die, is essentially dialectical materialist thinking. and there is every possibility we won't be able to do that this time. eventually we'll fail and die. that was always a possibility, in fact, it's a certainty. but there's also no other way than to try, because there's no going back.

So now Boston is getting Vermont weather.
