Paradoxish posted:Almost all US balkanization fantasies are just fantasies up until the point where the federal government starts failing in really obvious ways, like losing control of the military and just suffering routine coup attempts. No state will ever attempt to break away again until that point because the military would be used to end that state's government with extreme prejudice. The civil war was already completely one-sided, but something like a Texas revolt wouldn't even be remembered as a war or conflict. It'd just be over immediately. yeah the feds are just gonna go along with whatever Texas wants to do anyways

SniperWoreConverse posted:is it the same process as this I think the Wikipedia article is quoting the wrong number. The source for that 320 figure is a paper from 1988, in the abstract it says the value is 1.4 times the present Earth value, which would be about 1820 W/m2. But regardless, this is not a number we are influencing through our Great Work here on Earth. This is energy from the sun, and (so far) we haven’t figured out a way to affect the radiative output of the sun itself. Eventually that number will go up but that’s hundreds of millions (a billion?) of years from now, as the sun expands on its way to eventually swallow the Earth entirely. Human efforts to create Venus 2 are limited to changes on the other side of that energy balance ie the Earth’s atmosphere. It makes more sense to talk about this limit in terms of the average surface temperature of the Earth, not the incident solar flux. bawfuls has issued a correction as of 19:05 on Jan 27, 2024 |

i am still planting trees. at this point, why not? my town has had a massive increase in feral cat numbers. people seem to have stopped remotely giving a gently caress. they're everywhere. all the birds are gone. the silver lining is that all the rabbits are gone too, so at least the trees aren't getting devoured as soon as i put them in the ground. an egg has issued a correction as of 18:55 on Jan 27, 2024 |

sometimes i try to imagine what australia is going to look like in a hundred years, ecologically speaking, and i just can't. there is no stopping the cats and they kill loving everything. trying to deal with them means dealing with the cat people and you do not want to run afoul of the cat people

MightyBigMinus posted:https://atlas.eia.gov/datasets/eia::crude-oil-pipelines/explore I know that this is NIMBY adjacent posting but that line that goes through the Mackinaw Straight is especially awful. When it spills, because all oil pipelines eventually do, it's going to cause immense damage to the great lakes ecosystem. Also I still lmao that when there was lobbying to remove that pipeline back in like 2018 I was listening to the local country music station here, and they had a 6:00 am news blurb that spent like 2 months referring to the pipelines location as the Mackinaw Straight, but then switched to calling it the "straight connecting Lake Michigan and Lake Huron"

bawfuls posted:so? Cutting of supply to refineries would be a big deal if Texas and friends were somehow able to pull it off Texas is a net crude importer and refined products exporter isn't it? Cutting off the crude supply into the state would starve its refining capacity. That would also totally destabilize the national energy infrastructure as a whole but whether that hurts Texas less than everybody else is probably going to be a wash.

Texas would need to nationalize their entire energy industry infrastructure to prevent all that refining capacity from just being like "lol gently caress off" thus becoming the thing they hate the most: socialists I'd also be doubtful of their ability to actually do that for even a few full days short of physically destroying the infrastructure

very important to do this documentary about cruise ship sustainability being fake, and its also very important we go in person to interview a couple random people and a tourist trap souvenir shop owner in a tropical resort destination in mexico yeah probably need at least a four person crew for this six days
