Pepe Silvia Browne posted:it's not just cool, it's downright cold Meh, it's nice during the summer as long as the sun's out. I mean it's still below freezing, but 25-30F instead of -40 like it is in the winter.

The upper right corner of the stratification change chart appears to also be blowing up the data’s stratification.

*lib voice* we need to encourage carbon offsets because the antarctic needs fewer cronebergs, and more icebergs

mistermojo posted:it would be cool to live on a spaceship. or so I imagine, I'm sure it would actually suck. depends on how much of a protagonist I'm being in this fantasy Read Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson for some fictional lol on that. fanfic insert posted:top headline in sweden is about nato ascension, into someone dying at age 92, to something about terrorism, to royals, to a swedish journalist who got killed in afghanistan way back when(kind of shocking they have this up today considering item #1) to some sports to something else, something about Ukraine into something about Gaza My stupid island has a friend.  Salt Fish posted:Kelly's Endurance was worth reading all on its own because it got me to read Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing which is among the best books I've ever read. It's truly insane and we flat out don't have stories like that anymore where 28 dudes decide to cross Antarctica on foot just to show off how badass they are. The TV mini-series of this with Kenneth Branagh was badass. Stereotype posted:I've literally been to Antarctica, it was nice. Get back in your frozen grave, Thing. But also, that's hella cool. I almost joined the British Antarctic Survey. Then I remembered I was a goon and stayed inside.

I am literally lusting after a new watch named Anthropocene. I do not need anymore watches, and yet, the one that encapsulates the cryosphere dying and conspicuous consumerism combined is haunting me.

I disagree, proud to announce I dispose all my cigarette butts thoughtfully, returning them to nature. I put immense effort into this, sometimes I will smoke a whole pack just to finish a mural of a baby being strangled by a diesel engine

I eat a lot of Taco Bell and plan to go back to Africa sometime in the next couple years. Ethiopian Airlines flies mostly Boeings though so I'll probably die and relinquish the last of my carbon.

starkebn posted:Without actual measurements this poo poo just isn't real. Based on self reported emissions from industry, offset by shonky negative carbon projects, and doesn't include the armed forces. Those numbers are likely accurate including the emissions drop over the last 2 decades. The military might be better too because we are not fighting major wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. But it's hardly good news or even encouraging. I can think of some factors that would have caused such a reduction. First coal use has really dropped, being largely replaced with natural gas. Our heavy industry has been hollowed out, and gasoline engines have become much more efficient. With regard to coal vs natural gas, the easy reduction has already happened, to replace natural gas with renewables it means figuring out storage and completely redesigning the grid. That will be harder and take longer vs switching one fossil fuel for another. Our hollowed out heavy industry makes the US numbers look good but all we did was offshore our emissions to the global south. Finally our ICE vehicles efficiency got squandered by everything getting so much bigger and heavier. We should be ashamed that we plateaued at 5 billion tons. It's still too high and further drops will be politically harder and more painful.

Uhm sweaty that's cringe. That's some virgin poo poo. Taking a plane to Antarctica is just an ineffable part of human nature. Life isn't a series of easy moral choices and real life is complicated. When your wife (who you have sex with) asks if you want to go to Antarctica together because she loves you and wants to experience this joyful experience with you, you can't let your high-minded esoteric beliefs prevent you from your happiness. Will the trip to Antarctica be experiencing happiness in 20 years? Let's not think about that.

I have 7 kids and we just returned from visiting family at a cousin’s destination wedding in the Alps. We chartered a private jet. had a stop in Palma de Mallorca for a few days at the beach. it was really hot for February but it made eating out al fresco really pleasant. wine prices have definitely gone up.

I have one kid I give treats to in an effort to make-up for the fact that they won't get to grow up. At least I'm not as bad as this guy amirite.
