Caseman posted:Hi I was never in the old thread but I hear things are fine and the billionaires will save us all with carbon-capture apps my grad school dissertation was to study the potential use of heavy ion precursors to break down co2 via radiolysis and it worked uh great. like really well. not at all a null result, CCS is back on the menu and will definitely work! we're saved, you're all welcome

Car Hater posted:The long descent was a concept from the days before the abruptness of historical climate change and extinction events was understood, I don't think it really holds valid anymore. look at this optimist the sad fact is this poo poo is going to crawl along on momentum for the rest of our lives, kicking and screaming into the grave even as it all burns down around it. everything will take forever to bleed out, every horrific climate event and horrors of all kinds will be totally normalized... everything except questioning the sanctity of the security state, and its sovereignty of violence that will be sacrosanct, and the libs will line up to suck pig dick even as the fires rise around them

rabble rabble posted:I think even though I know we're not going to do anything about it, and I've known for my whole life we're not going to do anything about it, it's really another thing entirely to actually see it happening and sure enough, no one's going to do anything about it. I've been thinking about this a lot lately... that Steinbeck quote about banks being built by men, but no longer controlled by them. As people we often feel apart from nature in a way that is, I think, totally artificial. We can imagine all the extinct charismatic megafauna that came before, which met their own natural end of one kind or another, and see a version of their story that makes sense to us... But it's very difficult to see ourselves as a species subject to natural forces that, regardless of our role in unleashing them, have grown beyond our control. That the rise of industrial civilization itself seems an inevitability, and would in turn inevitably lead to our own ruin and potential extinction, is hard to wrap our heads around. With all our sapience and logical reasoning, symbolic representation of thought, philosophy, introspection and technological gizmos we are still just a species that arose on earth and became subject to externalities beyond our reasoning or control. The only really big accident is that a fraction of our species was aware of it well ahead of time

BIG HEADLINE posted:It won't be decades. The current global trends towards hyper-nationalism will see to that. You don't think the hyper-nationalism turned hyper-fascism will do every horrible thing possible in its power to prolong some semblance of the lifestyle the imperial core has afforded them thus far? This is not a callout directed at you or any individual in the thread, but I wanted to comment on a more pervasive phenomenon I've noticed picking up steam recently, concurrent with the accelerating extreme weather events and general breakdown. I'm still workshopping it but for now call it 'sudden collapse optimism', the bizarrely comforting idea that the forces that have both perpetrated and denied the ecological cataclysm will suddenly be subject to the very forces they have unleashed. It's a much harder pill to swallow that they'll do everything they can to keep the party going a little bit longer (insert whatever atrocities your imagination can summon) and their political base of support will swell and grow as they continue to, quite successfully, project blame on outsiders and The Other. Most of the posters ITT have reached some level of acceptance about the ecological predicament as it stands, and a sudden collapse of The State in the face of that is an odd, and I would argue, idealistic offshoot of that awareness. The idea that the brutalism of capital will expand exponentially in the face of this crisis and is likely outlast all of us is another step down the crack-ping steps to hell that is hard to accept. We will live to see manmade horrors beyond our comprehension.

unironic thirst mutilator  product as a means to combat pollution sure is somethingRime posted:IMO, the hyper-nationalist fascism stage of this decline will be shockingly brief, because these institutions are inherently subject to physical systemic pressures so far out of their control (and possibly comprehension) that they will be unable to muster the control over circumstance necessary to maintain control over territory. Thank you for your thoughtful response. I do hope you're right about the above. I still dread what state institutions, wounded and cornered meta-organisms that they are, will do in their death throes

In the world I see - you are stalking landcrabs through the damp mushroom forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear sharkskin wetsuits that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick mycelium tendrils that wrap the Willis Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny squid pounding kelp, laying strips of grub meat on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

some old dusty tome posted:They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
