does anyone remember that poster who used to share accounts from 18th-century sailors logs in one of the previous iterations of this thread? Anyway I recall one of the accounts describing how they couldn't weigh anchor and leave the bay because the writhing masses of humongous fish were so plentiful and overwhelming that day they were preventing the ship from advancing through the water at all

I had also gone looking for this but of course could not find it. There were multiple descriptions including of how the sea was teeming with whales to the point where they obstructed navigation

and what's the carbon footprint to manufacture a single one of these
lol was gunna say that the energy and ecological destruction to create/smelt/manufacture mining equipment, mining for metals, smelting metals at high-temperature factories into ingots, transporting ingots to a fabrication with fuels, remelting them and pouring them into molds with fuels, welding with acetylene (fuels), transporting with fuels to a place, then transporting a crane (to say nothing of crane fab) to open it, then maintaining it, is easily many thousands in trees

just plant a tree

or even better yet, stop cutting down trees to send to germany as "biofuel" pellets so they can pretend to be green

Someday we're going to invent a perfect carbon capture device that does an amazing job of capturing carbon dioxide and it transforms it back into coal. Then we're going to take that coal and bury it in the abandoned coal mines. Then we're going to dig it up and burn it again and die anyway.

Does anyone have any tips of books/resources of future projections of what is gonna happen in the next 30 years assuming the thread consensus of "we won't do poo poo about climate change"?

Most stuff I find is all about "by 2100..." which is probably a reason why people are so not bothered by climate doom.

A quote I've heard in real life many times is "yeah poo poo is gonna suck for future generations".

Bitch you're in your thirties, shits gonna suck FOR YOU, but also especially for future generations of course.

You could read this: https://www.amazon.com/Our-Final-Warning-Degrees-Emergency-ebook/dp/B07YN9WSN8. It's about the projected effects of each degree rise in global temperatures.

man yelling at oil protestors to get off the road, pointing out they're all wearing plastic clothing and "wasting" petrol by having the stopped cars idle their engines and burn oil without a purpose. he almost comes to the right conclusion. "if you want to stop oil........ just.......... go home! go live in the forest!" he's so close to that final realization: the only way to stop the consumption is to die. lol, lmao.
