I appreciate the attempt, but that is far too cheery and upbeat to satisfy my doomlust. It is lyrically doomer, but not aesthetically doomer. Aesthetically doomer music makes you want to sob bitterly, rather than hum along to the chorus.

there are two genres of doom music: one where you :crackping:, and one where you :rubby:


these are the latter

It always confused me as a child in Nepal when yogi bear was on TV and the American families would drive straight into the national parks and have a picnic. In my child mind, national parks were just like in Nepal where it was just a big protected area where there really was no road access, devoid of human infrastructure.

we should rename them to national theme parks, where the theme is "outside, but there's no internet"

I used to be in Florida more than I'd like to visit friends and my impression was always that it's a really special kind of hell. They lived out in a suburb near Jacksonville and it was a twenty minute drive through crazy tangles of suburban streets to get loving anywhere. How the gently caress can you have a highly developed area with houses crammed right on top of each and everyone is still magically a twenty minute drive away from a loving supermarket?

15 minute city but everything is precisely 14-16 mins away via driving directions

It's more likely that we're going to absolutely annihilate "normal" weather patterns and be left with a choice between two wildly unstable and unpredictable climate regimes and no one will be able to settle on "just stop doing it" as the right answer until we've killed a shitload of people.

just feebly saying "our climate relief efforts have created tens of thousands of jobs" as our federal infrastructure slowly shrivels under the weight of the gerontocracy and private equity sucking the corpse dry

I doubt that people in charge will take notice until it starts impacting them directly when they can no longer insure real estate and Tahoe loses all its snow for multiple years

still it'll take time; even the current shortage of labor is driving business crazy but they're not attributing things to the effects of the ongoing pandemic or the out of control price spiral

i find it interesting that chinese state media always uses kilowatts instead of megawatts or gigawatts. not sure if it is a translation thing or a more intentional choice

they're also measuring kWh per year which may just be an accounting thing to adjust for variable load or marketing to make big number. Chinese also denominates large numbers by 10,000 (and 100,000,000).

1e9 kWh per year is roughly 115MW, which isn't actually that big for a nuclear reactor. 3 of 5 of the Fukushima reactors had 760 MW operating capacity
