Totally normal to have overnight temps be 15°C instead of 4°C.

in a post-fossil fuel world itd probably be cheaper to do this once with out-of-spec fiber optic cable than pay for electric lighting indefinitely

worked for a bit as a teen installing those light-tube type sunlights. you CAN route those pipes through multiple floors but unless the house was designed for it you're going to have to kink it a few times to avoid pipes and beams and whatnot. it quickly kills your throughput.

i imagine in addition to the fire hazards it also provides a nice way for heat to get in and out through your house.

tbh when i was looking at it, it was more this mirrored ducting you could get. No idea where you would even find cable like that but it if you could that would be more ideal to retrofit into existing buildings

has anyone seen insects around street lights at night any more? I’m struggling to remember a time when my local light was full of moths and other flying things. where have all the bats, geckos and nocturnal insect eating birds gone?

what an insane thing to say. i feel like people aren't going to appreciate just how clearly that quote exemplifies how capitalism is incompatible with saving the world. we need to stop burning all fossil fuels immediately, we needed to stop a decade ago, and replacing it all with solar panels would require a crazy amount of panels. but china is making too many solar panels and it is making money sad :( :( :(

(probably preaching to the choir when you were just trying to make a joke)

it doesn’t even demonstrate that, because observed increases in EEI don’t happen until several decades after the emissions responsible for it are released. Increases observed today would be due to emissions released around the time most millennials would be either gestating in the womb or just being born. We won’t be feeling the effects of what adult millennials produced and emitted for years to come. So the graph could still be blamed on boomer mom and dad if that’s your predilection

Does anybody have recommendations for a podcast centered around the biosphere and the sixth mass extinction? I listen to plenty of content focused on SST updates and climate change/ENSO, but I’m looking to diversify my awareness of species loss and learn more about the wildlife damage I read when I see articles about things like Amazon deforestation

It's alright, if climate change accelerates enough the AMOC will collapse in time to reset their temperature for a few more years.

I wake up and stretch, in a bed filled with plastic fibers.

Get up, my feet touch a carpeted floor, made of plastic fibers.

Open the curtains, made of spun plastic fibers.

Put on some clothes, made of plastic fibers.

The water (filled with microplastics at the source) in my tap travels through kilometers of plastic piping and tubing. I brush my teeth with plastic fibers on a plastic handle.

Make some coffee / tea in a plastic kettle, mix in some honey from a plastic container.

Pour my breakfast oats out of a plastic bag.

Throw my lunch in a plastic container, into my backpack made of plastic, head out the door. Keycard is plastic, I've lost a couple.

Hop into my truck, cab decked out in plastic, turn on the cabin heater full blast.

Head off to work.

Grind a few dozen lbs of short-chain polymer resin into the air and watch it blow away on the breeze, smiling at a job well done.

Get "home", cook some dinner out of plastic packaging.

Chill out on my couch made of plastic.

Repeat the first few steps in reverse, settling down into my semi-plastic bed for a peaceful 8 hours of slumber.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! Another beautiful day on this glorious planet we call home, I'm sure. Glad I focus on living a clean healthy life!
