It’s OK! Most economic activity happens inside!

Hang on, I’m getting a message… Food and water come from outside????

I've been informed that our finest capitalists are working on ensuring food and water come from inside. They expect breakthroughs any hour now and thus it's the perfect time to invest trillions of dollars on guaranteed returns.

It may possibly go somewhere if they can manage to get nitroplasts transplanted into any plants, but lmao that level of genetic tinkering is wild to imagine

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroplast

And even then it just removes the need for nitrogen being fed to the plants. It does nothing for all of the other nutrients. Kills aquaponics though

To be clear there will be attempts to get nitroplasts into everything regardless of whether or not hydroponics is explored

We all ready have protected cropping, battery chicken farms, and RO desalination plants - problem solved.

Just a few more GWh per cucumber and bam, all that economy safely indoors.

Yet another benefit of climate change has been discovered

https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2024/04/24/climate-change-is-slowing-earths-rotation

Climate change is slowing Earth’s rotation
This simplifies things for the world’s timekeepers

quote:

Within the next few years the time nerds of the International Earth Rotation Service, the body that decides when leap seconds should fall, may need to implement an entirely novel “negative leap second”. On some future December 31st, in other words, the stroke of midnight will follow a 59-second minute. Such adjustments are a vexing prospect for organisations reliant on perfect timekeeping, from stockmarkets to power grids. But a new study suggests that climate change will buy them some welcome extra time.

quote:

The melting of the polar ice sheet since the end of the last ice age, 12,000 years ago, has also made Earth spin faster. Their weight squashed the poles; their subsequent disappearance allowed Earth’s crust to rebound and become more spherical. This caused an acceleration in the planet’s spin

quote:

Dr Agnew also found effects pulling in the other direction. In recent decades, climate change has been shrinking the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, shifting water mass off the land and into the oceans where it can be redistributed. By reducing both regions’ mass, the melt decreases their gravitational pull, with the net effect of “pushing” water away from their shores. Water lost from the Greenland ice sheet ends up pooling most noticeably around the equator and in the southern hemisphere. The opposite, more or less, is true for water released from the Antarctic ice sheet. Glaciologists who have tracked how all this water mass moves around from land to oceans have consequently found a shift away from the poles and towards the equator. That means Earth’s waistline is thickening

quote:

The effect is not huge—it is measured in millimetres per year—but is nonetheless enough to exert a braking effect on Earth’s spin.

quote:

It is also delaying the need for a negative leap-second. Without climate change, current trends suggest IERS will need to implement one within just two years. Dr Agnew’s calculations suggest they have until 2029. That time will allow software engineers running systems reliant on the precision of atomic clocks to devise new programs capable of handling the negative leap second.

it's number, it's supposed to go up!

love that my president has responded to this crisis of humanity by signaling that he's going to place tariffs on Chinese solar and wind manufacturers while expanding domestic oil and gas extraction.

Also I wonder what all of the calculus that went into that decision was. How much of it was trying to punish China because it's the world's largest single oil importer, and it's trying to switch away from being dependent on it's geopolitical rivals? How much of it is just CHINA BAD CONTAIN CHINA?

Because like China accounts for over 13% of global oil consumption according to some quick googling, there has to be people on Exxon's board doing the math on what a green china exporting cheap solar and wind generation could do to the bottom line

is it possible the earths rotation is reduced enough to loosen relative spacetime around it, slowing our perception of time and giving us an additional hundred years of local perception to address the falling rate of profit
