Apparently we can place these things in the ground that suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and at the same time oxygenate the atmosphere, and they even grow larger and provide habitats for things when they do!

gently caress that we got to tear those fuckers down and strip mine everything!!

What we need is to convince a philanthropist to invest in cleaner energy research. Imagine the traction you'd have with the hipster crowd if you managed to convince Steve Jobs to invest in Thorium instead of Homeopathic medicine.

You'd think Gates or Buffett would be interested in that, but then again I may be wrong thinking that they are not shithead rich people.

Had to deal with some people talking bullshit about climate change, the usual buzz words stuff. One guy told me "Extreme weather? Down in the Southeast we've been nice and getting good rain here. :smug:

" Also someone else told me about the classic, "If we are blaming humans for Global Warming, we might as well say that the Dinosaurs died because of SUVs :psyduck:

" My god I thought with sentience we would have better chance than the trilobites in surviving a mass extinction event, but nope. :negative:

In addition to albedo, if I remember my Oceanography class correctly, arctic sea ice is a primary driver of deep sea ocean currents. The last time those stopped it caused a Mass Extinction Event.

I take it this was the Younger Dryas Event?

We're just so very hosed:

Aauuugh the same poo poo is happening with science, too.

God if only I could become dictator of this country, I would throw the Koch brothers and their cronies in a room that pumps methane in it then use their wealth to fund climate change research/solutions.

I think Pope Francis' encyclical is going to be a big deal for American politics, because the GOP can't fool people into thinking that they follow Catholic social teaching anymore. It needs to be remember that he's coming to visit the US in a few months, so talk about Laudato Si will be a big thing.

I don't think it will because this is the country that had a freakout when a Catholic was running for president because they feared him to be a vessel for the Vatican.

That is what I meant. Nobody cares until the cost hits them personally.

And it will never cost the rich CEOs because they can just weasel their way out until the Earth is doomed

Its like the Masque of the Red Death basically
