Caseman posted:Is there a timestamp for when that video stops being the exact same sentence said over and over in slightly different ways trying to convince the listener to stop having any hope and listen to their argument really you should listen to what they have to say its very important no I swear you gotta listen to it? I got 15 minutes in and threw in the towel. If you're going to ask me to listen to two and a half hours of something, you should really try to get to the loving point. i made it to 15m on the first try and 25m on the second edit: lol the skeletons thing is good edit2: the point at the 38/39 min mark is just wrong though. emissions are not binary, they're scalar. mitigation does matter.

Stereotype posted:yeah this is what the american ones do too, but a critical component of keeping that salt molten is natural gas. your holier than though phrasing and judgemental sniping betrays a truly childish and immature understanding of what the plant was for. back in the early 2010's we had no idea that the price of solar-PV was going to plummet as fast as it did and "win" so we had to build giant proof of concept plants of the alternative (solar-thermal) to see if they would work. no one knew which (if either!) would work, so for example both solyndra *and* invanpah got funded. it didn't pan out. the reliability was just a couple % too low, and the gaps that needed gas to bridge turned out to be closer to "everyday" than "a week or two in the winter". funny enough, solyndra failed too, not because solar-pv turned out to be too expensive, but because one-time subsidized solar-pv cant compete with heavily subsidized solar-pv. in both cases however the failures are GOOD THINGS because it means we ACTUALLY TRIED and ACTUALLY SPENT SOME $ and ACTUALLY BUILT THINGS libs crying about ivanpah are the exact same thing, just the other side of the coin, as chuds complaining about solyndra. just the endless entitled baby attitude of americans that they're entitled to the end results without any of the work it takes to get there.

one of the most basic truths of climate change is that you can ignore *everything* everyone talks about w/r/t "footprints" or "efficiency" or "capture" or whatever there are three things that matter: - stop digging up and burning coal - stop drilling, pumping, refining, and burning oil - stop drilling, piping, and burning gas after that you can get lost in the marginal weeds forever about poo poo like cement, cows, beccs, trees, urbanization, big-ag, macro trends, micro behaviors, blah blah bikelanes its all just anxiety thrashing all that matters is: - end coal - end oil - end gas

Cabbages and Kings posted:Suburban life in general and the American suburb/sprawl/development cycle in general seems awful to live in and for multiple other reasons, but I think it's a lot more complex than this. I moved out of the city, (way the gently caress out), because cities stress the hell out of me, aggravate my tinnitus, are generally expensive, and being surrounded by quiet natural sounds and far fewer people makes me feel calm. There's a reasonable amount of research into all the reasons this might be more than a personality quirk of mine, from studies about stress responses to noise to the higher density of pollution and shitheads that you generally have to deal with in actual cities. look idgaf what you do, but just recognize what you're doing here is such an annoyingly common america-brain cliche its starting to rank up there with "teenage libertarian white boy" on the rolleyes scale you don't hate cities, you hate cars. all of the noise problems are from cars/trucks/motorcycles, not from humans.

Rectal Death Adept posted:Sure hope this isn't the new normal though because there is just zero way to deal with it. Jet stream dies one year? The PNW might get ocean winds and the East Atlantic might get some air moving but the Central Lakes are going to be 110F+ for a month or two. The East Atlantic might get hit by a Category 6 hurricane. The PNW will apparently get apocalyptic flooding and heat domes. Either way if the square states lose a year of crops sitting in a relatively mild 90F spring doesn't really do much for you. to be clear, this is not the new normal. this is the +1.1C normal. by the end of the decade we will be finding out what the ~+1.4C normal looks like and then we'll go on to see what the new ~+1.7C normal looks like in the decade after that. those ones are very very locked in by now, baring a miracle like cold fusion or covid-23 cutting the population by 80%. even in a d&d lib's wildest fantasy the late-gen-x/elder-millenial goon will never see a stable climate in their remaining lifetime

Nocturtle posted:Personally went through a phase looking into and working out as much as possible for myself what was actually required to achieve gigaton-scale negative emissions and concluded we've already hit this stage. Believe that phase is usually called "bargaining". for anyone who hasn't, the first part of this 38 minute video is a run through of what it would take to capture gigatons of co2 per year. the second part is a run through of how and where we could store it. its a very dry and boring numbers/charts/graphs academic presentation. you can watch it in under a half hour at 1.5x speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6WjxL8anSQ this is how i get my crack ping fix now, watching xan'd out grad students one up each other with nonsense presentations on how we'll create a co2 pipeline network bigger than the current oil pipeline network MightyBigMinus has issued a correction as of 23:10 on Nov 20, 2021 |

my dad is a kindof bored/retired 'news' addict in the sense that he has like 4 or 5 different news apps on his phone that constantly push him notifications and he's constantly reading a handful of dumb sites and asking me if i heard about some dumb poo poo a celeb or politician said mentioned vancouver this week... he had no idea. the atmospheric rivers, the mudslides, the flooding, the gas and oil pipelines, the store shelves, none of it. not one iota of "a major first world north american city is turbo hosed right now" had made it to him through all the major news site apps. but then he knew about nu (later in the day named omicron) before I woke up that morning. just a facinating test case in how collectively the news-media to infotainment junkie pipeline completely filters out climate change stuff MightyBigMinus has issued a correction as of 01:42 on Nov 28, 2021 |

Xaris posted:lol if we live long enough to see +1.5c in like 30 years. what a show that's gunna be I know you didn't mean it this way, but this is a perfect example of how deep and pervasive climate science "denial" is. Look at where the dotted line crosses the 1.5C line in the top part of this chart: So the "science" says +1.5C in 2040 (19 years). It also has +/- 10 years built in around the 1/3rd and 2/3rds confidence levels, so 2030 is entirely plausible (9 years). But thats the *old* IPCC estimate, the newer one doesn't have as simple a graph but basically moves the timeline up 5 years. So really the science/ipcc says "we could hit +1.5C in 2025". Here in the CSPAM climate thread its a widely held view that the IPCC models are missing major factors, and the reports are watered down via the stakeholders and process it takes to publish them, and we've seen a track record of reality trending worse than the predictions. So what that all adds up to is... we will very very likely see +1.5C globally within the 2020s. Not 30 years, more like 5 - 10. MightyBigMinus has issued a correction as of 00:14 on Dec 3, 2021 |

alobar i love you from your work on the scarane campaign but you are dead rear end one thousand percent wrong here, and exhibiting absolutely psycho levels of toxic-masculinity and co-morbid american car-brain. if someone is blocking the passing lane, preventing you from going as fast as you want to go, because it is your god given right as a car driving american to never feel impeded, and you have a rage-trigger reaction to the affront to your freedom... you're the bad guy. being forced to go 55 in a 50 instead of the 65 you want to, for however many minutes you and this guy are going the same way, is not actually someone stealing from you. you were not entitled to go as fast as you want in the first place. you are not entitled to unrestricted vehicular mobility. people who get in your way or make you go 10% slower than you want have not wronged you. blocking the lane is sub-optimal, brake-checking is bad, passing on the shoulder at speed is loving insane. being unwilling or unable to simply say "darn i could go 10-15mph faster if not for this guy, oh well" is an entitlement and rage/control problem.

Alobar posted:i didn't think that the thread about laughing about literal millions and possibly billions of humans dying from climate change would draw the line at "hey, don't drive fast" as if anything on this stupid loving planet matters quote:and i didn't think this would go on for so many pages but really gently caress slow drivers especially the ones that intentionally slow down other traffic and i'm not sorry for anything i said in your defense its nearly impossible to comprehend this unless you stop driving for a few years. its basically a form of detox and addiction recovery. your monkey brain very well understands the concept of being able to summon hundreds of horsepower and fling thousands of pounds around at speed with the flick of a wrist. that power is as addicting as any other sense of power and your brain has spent nearly your entire life developing a greater and greater tolerance for it. which in turn means even just slight reductions cause withdrawal like rage and anguish.

well i went a head and took a quick spin through ar6 wg2's graphics first off we have "all the fish have to die or move"  next up is "60% of biodiversity in the tropics is at risk"  or how about "the death of half of everything" (thanos was a cuck)  here's a great new neologism, "food production loss events", sorry india!  but wait there's another one: "yield constraint score"  this one says climate change is bad for humans! sure hope nobody in india has to work outdoors to overcome their yield constraint score during a food production loss event  here's the real deep cut poo poo, how about 10 million dead?  or the 366 days of the year that going outside will kill you in indonesia

Thorn Wishes Talon posted:i had what kids these days call a "shower thought" this morning: would it be possible to measure the amount of CO2 released from all the explosions in the Ukraine-Russia war? if so, would it be a drop in the bucket, or would we actually be able to see a spike in ppm charts? it would be a drop in the bucket compared to just the trucks tanks and jets being used in the invasion, which are themselves a drop in the bucket compared to the number of cars/trucks/suvs americans use to commute to work on any given day. never lose track of the utter vastness of the scale of emissions. no one thing in the news can ever be more than a drop in the bucket. only hundreds of billions of dollars a year spent over decades can bend the curve. (and thats the optimistic view that normally gets laughed out of this thread).
