there's clearly no hope to fix anything. the equilibrium will be reached when enough people die and enough of industrial society collapses that there is no net increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. there is no other significant force that will cause a decrease in the amount of CO2 created. it's also an underdamped system, so you'll get huge excursions from that eventual equilibrium as well. it is possible that equilibrium is at a point where all life is dead, and it is likely that the excursions will kill off most of humanity.

Buck Turgidson posted:the conclusion of that kurzgesagt video is a joke right? i watched it expecting a record scratch but it never came John Oliver has done a bunch of episodes like this. he details some important hugely problematic issue that is rarely if ever covered in other media and even sometimes mentions how people have been trying for years to get reforms only to watch as everything keeps getting worse, but then he ends with “give to this charity that has failed continuously” or “call your senator who I mentioned in this piece as being a major corrupting part of the problem.” he is incapable of saying there is nothing that can be done, he always wants to end on a hopeful note, but he really should just start being honest. nothing is ever going to get better.

IAMKOREA posted:yeah but bro what do the crickets eat? insects still have to obey the laws of thermodynamics and conservation of mass and no biological process is 100% efficient. if you're going to feed people insects, you still have to grow something to feed the insects. what i'm saying is that instead of growing food for crickets, and feeding it to the crickets, and then grinding the crickets up into disgusting cricket flour... just eat the loving cricket food. killing a plant isn't enough of a rush. i have to kill something that's a bit more "alive" ya know, otherwise can you even really call it food?

BIG HEADLINE posted:Unfortunately for disaster fetishists, there aren't many tsunami generators in/around the Atlantic. Aside from the unlikely sloughing-off of the "loose" face of Cumbre Vieja, the only other spots where subduction can take place are in the Caribbean, and they're not as active or as dangerous as those in the Pacific or Indian Oceans. yeah we have to settle for the west coast being destroyed by a 500ft wave when south shore big island falls into the ocean

lol this video is more than a year old? someone linked it here i'm not finding the post to quote it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk11vI-7czE the first part of this is amazing, the part mainly about how solar is fake. the end is all about how "biomass" is a huge scam. billions of subsidies stolen to massively incentivize doing tree agriculture to burn the trees. the scene with the cow and the horse i could have gone without seeing.

Xaris posted:yepo. 2000-2020 was almost perfect stagnation -- perhaps one of the most stagnated periods in recent history. someone could be transplanted from 2000 to 2021 and it would feel nigh exactly the same. the only major difference is phones can do internet instead of just calls/text, but it's mostly there to sling ads n track, and not really any different. just further declining material conditions is about all that's happened monitors and cameras are higher resolution now, and drones are better.

we either could have invented fusion and had infinite energy or we could air condition a bunch of tents in a desert halfway around the world for two decades and i think you'll be happy to know which one we did

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:for those not familiar nuclear energy was a discovery and fusion is an engineering miracle. if the input 1 can be recycled directly from the output 1.1 then you have infinite energy. i'm sure the way we would likely do it would need a bunch of coal or natural gas though, so then you're just burning coal in a different way.

it was pretty fun to learn that those giant solar towers in the desert of nevada are actually just natural gas plants that are lightly amplified by solar for a small part of the day. also that all the mirrors break constantly and are all from fossil fuels and mining and also the shade kills any desert plants that hold the soil together even a little and so you end up with huge barren dust bowls when the thing eventually irreparably breaks in 20 years away.

SniperWoreConverse posted:iirc the spanish have gotten around this by using molten salt, where it gets so fuckin rip roarin hot that it melts blocks of salt and they use that to power turbines. The salt takes a while to get melted, like a whole day or something, but once it's all liquid it stays liquid and the plant produces power even if the mirrors aren't working at full capacity, and it keeps producing power at night. You need a fuckload of mirrors though and every little misalignment adds up. yeah this is what the american ones do too, but a critical component of keeping that salt molten is natural gas. another poster mentioned that it isn't just an additional component like i had dismissively stated, it ends up being a significant fraction and produces 300% the electricity of a pure natural gas plant per volume of natural gas burned. you're still building a ton of mirrors to get that benefit, and believe it or not there isn't such thing as "empty consequence free space." not a serious solution
