just glad i got to eat a lotta (edit: cheap!!!) snowcrab before... well, you know...
what else should be on my list? i saw dolphin and whale mentioned - anything else?

the swedish fermented herring industry is a few years from complete collapse. last few years have been a slew of articles saying they only got a fraction of the catch they wanted and are having to source the fish from elsewhere and conservation groups are advocating a complete stop of fishing in order to save it but the politicians are just going "there will be herring on the table" and the industry are bargaining about everything but a halt to fishing.

I love how aspirations can just be policy and the detailed plan as well, and it will just happen as it’s manifest destiny that things will work out.

The idea that reality will castigate our shortsighted folly of a species is somehow inconceivable.

It's what's for dinner.
listen up, doomers

Nine breakthroughs for climate and nature in 2023 you may have missed
In a tumultuous year, the positive milestones for the climate and nature might well have gone under your radar.

not so doomer now, are you? :smug:

let's see what the breakthroughs were


1. A huge boost for clean energy

One analysis by a team of energy and sustainability researchers estimates that by 2035, the IRA's acceleration of green energy has the potential to reduce emissions across the US economy by 43-48% compared with 2005 levels. Climate: saved

2. A turning point in power emissions

Energy from renewables like wind and solar grew faster than the world's power demand did, which means emissions from the sector were predicted to edge downwards for the first time. Climate: saved

3. Plastics manufacturers sued for pollution

Earlier in 2023, Danone, the company behind brands such as Evian, Activia and Volvic was taken to court by three environmental groups. Meanwhile, New York state is suing PepsiCo for plastic pollution that is contaminating the water and harming wildlife in Buffalo River. Nature: saved

4. America's biggest dam removal

Dams along Oregon and California's Klamath River have greatly reduced salmon populations. After decades of campaigning, the first dam was demolished in November 2023. Fish: saved

5. A treaty to protect the high seas

The High Seas Treaty provides a framework for setting up marine protected areas, a crucial step to fulfil aims to protect 30% of the world's oceans by 2030. Oceans: saved

6. The EU promises to become forest-friendly

importers of commodities such as soy, beef, palm oil, wood, cocoa, coffee and rubber "must be able to prove that the products do not come from recently deforested land or have contributed to forest degradation" Forests: saved

7. Deforestation of the Amazon slows

the rate of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest dropped sharply, after Brazil's new government pledged to stop deforestation completely by 2030 Rainforests: saved

8. Upholding indigenous rights in Brazil

The Xokleng people of the highlands of Santa Catarina state in southern Brazil had been evicted from their land, and the ruling restores their territory to them. Humans: saved

9. Climate cash for vulnerable countries

world leaders finally agreed to launch the long-awaited fund for loss and damage caused by climate change. A long-overdue $100bn (£80bn) annual pledge to countries hit by climate impacts was also met for the first time this year. Humans: saved


so there it is, doomers. where's your doom now?

At least with Meerkat Manor no species went extinct during the filming of its show.

I remember eating orange roughy as a kid and was idly wondering why it wasn't in stores anymore.

My mom worked on a sustainable fishing initiative with no enforcement powers in 1994.

I never connected those two things in my head.

I come across this one a lot too, and to be honest I haven't figured out an effective rebuttal. Maybe there isn't one, since it's fundamentally a faith-based argument. Can't just try to respond with "but what if we can't solve it?" because that's like asking a religious person "but what if God doesn't actually exist?"

"did we solve covid or just ignore it"

this one is funny because the 43-48% figure includes all the non-IRA changes too, including before the IRA was even passed.




we were at ~20% before IRA even passed, the reference case without IRA would get us to ~33%, so really IRA gives a 10-15% emissions reduction under their models.

but it gets reported as 43-48%.


also note how IRA (and everything else) still fails to meet the USA 2030 goal by 10% but is considered the climate is saved
