I feel like this does get taught in school there’s just no aha moment where you realize just how insane it is. Or maybe I’m thinking of comic books, this gets taught in comic books. I feel like this was when they thought they could win a nuclear war if they just wanted it bad enough and were doing studies to prepare for whatever damage might happen from the Soviet second strike

smoobles posted:yeah tbh I completely bought into the belief that climate change was real, but its worst effects would be felt by people in 2100. which I guess is technically still true but the curve of fuckedness is much steeper than I thought and guys like me in their 30s will get to experience a whole lot of incomprehensible horrors! This is me. I lost hope we'd fix anything fairly early, but I always believed the apocalypse would be a distant thing for other people

Notorious R.I.M. posted:The survival of humanity is dependent on phytoplankton continuing to produce oxygen. When you jam CO2 into the atmosphere it buffers into the surface ocean. Faster CO2 loading rates buffer more of it in the surface ocean before it has time to disperse and whoopsie you get more ocean acidification. The rates that we're doing this and causing acidification have no geological correlate in history. None. It's truly novel Cats and dogs hosed up bad by throwing their lot in with humans, feel bad for them

This seems extremely performative Dokapon Findom posted:It sucks now! Remember how cheap corn used to be before they started putting it in gasoline? Didnt they start putting corn in fuel as a way to use up all the excess corn from subsidies *because* the corn was so cheap, rather than just reduce the subsidies so less got grown?

Did mechanizing farming result in less productivity per input - like nitrogen or whatever - but vastly more land under cultivation and so vastly increased total output perhaps?

I thought most industrial farmers didnt actually want self propagating seeds because its more efficient to plant fresh each year with a seed strain tailored to forecasted growing conditions, as opposed to whatever grew best last year? I mean yeah this sets up immensely dangerous single points of failure and makes the whole food chain even more reliant on continual non-renewable inputs, but I don't think non-self propagation is a nefarious scheme

I love graphs that plot China, a nation of 1.4 billion people, against the US, a nation of 0.3 billion people, as though they were equivalent entities. China has a little more than half the emissions per capita of the US, meaning once again and forevermore, USA #1 (at pollution)

The fungus is the primary native life on Alpha Centuari and all the other species exist to tend to it until it can reach critical mass and achieve planet wide sapience, and then dies off back into somnolescence because the critical mass event kills most other life on the planet destroying the ecology the fungus needs to thrive. Basically the planet wide fungus network becomes intelligent just in time to realize its killed itself and it can't do anything about it, and then everything resets
