Shima Honnou posted:A chart illustrating the highest temperature seen throughout the month of June going back 80 years for Kotelny Island which borders both the East Siberian and Laptev Seas (where all that undersea permafrost is). The highest peak on record was hit this past month, 4C higher than any previous June. Background, I went into nuclear engineering very optimistic that public opinion and the trajectory of the industry was going to completely flip as more and more people became aware of the ongoing crisis. It was a long journey of discovery to find out that It Didn't Have To Be This Way. It was possible, somewhere in the mid 70s or so, that if we as civilization had made a massive collective switch to nuclear, the worst could have been avoided. Now I'm several years into a paid graduate position supposedly studying radiolytic efficiencies in novel environments and it's like, why bother? This would have been good to do in the sixties and seventies but now? I think I'll just go play Hell Let Loose.

If this can be AOF's 'how-do-u-cook-vegtables-life-coaching' thread half the time I think I can take an aside on my own way of reality coping just to say- I really loving dig the teamwork interactions when playing a tanker, provided you have decent, talkative teammates. Hunting, spotting and killing enemy armor when it's three of you all crammed in with tiny windows on the outside world screaming and hooting at each other knowing everyone in the enemy tank is doing the same and then coming out the other side alive is one of the more thrilling videogams moments I've had lately. I could go on, like how the lack of a typical pvp kill feed, or how explosive death is an instant black screen, makes it all the more immersive. I'd do that in the games thread, but there doesn't seem to be an active one? A shame. Anyway hedonistic distractions until inevitable death forever

https://synbiobeta.com/could-carbon-sequestration-be-the-future-of-agriculture/quote:Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich solid. Its porous structure makes it highly effective in retaining water and water-soluble nutrients. When mixed with earth, it becomes ideal living quarters for soil microorganisms. Not only does biochar promote microorganism activity, it has also been shown to reduce nutrient leaching and soil acidity. And because it retains water and nutrients, it can also reduce irrigation and fertilizer demands. All of these little technologies or going to add up, and we're going to defeat climate change, just like we defeated the Nuclear Crisis, and a bunch of other poo poo. I honestly believe we can stop the world ending with all of these different technologies, and we have the money to do it. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...n-idUSKCN1TQ31X quote:LONDON (Reuters) - Investors managing more than $34 trillion in assets, nearly half the world’s invested capital, are demanding urgent action from governments on climate change, piling pressure on leaders of the world’s 20 biggest economies meeting this week. e: I'm not going to stop posting hopeful news, I refuse to just accept that I, and everyone I love will be dead and there's no way to walk back from that. I will volunteer, protest, march, and fight. I haven't given up on the world and neither should you. Turtlicious has issued a correction as of 21:19 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Over 70% of the ice is still there, if we go green, and carbon sequestration works, than we can beat this. Also Siberia, and the northern parts of Russia will be verdant and green if ice melt continues. We shouldn't forget there was once Jungles on the northern ice caps.

Which will add more than I just discussed all on its own. While we're mitigating all the disasters. While we're losing small countries probably in the next few years. You know, like accounts-for-8% or more-of-global-GDP India. Did I say small countries? I meant huge ones. We're going to lose huge countries. I don't mean lose as in they take GDP hits I mean lose as in they run out of water. Which means we have to dump resources into fighting numbers-go-down instead of infrastructure building because god forbid that happens when the world is built around numbers-go-up.

Hahaha we are definitely not doing, I refused at 26 and shouted my drat fool head off and annoyed all sorts of Congresscritters, including one of the new members that is furthest left. I am now 30, and we are going extinct. People cannot comprehend the level of sacrifice now necessary. The only way you're going to die at 85 with your family and friends is if you all happen to survive the mass cullings and global enslavement in the first 50 years of the multi-generational exclusively-focused-on-tree-planting ecostalinist order.

Then maybe instead of sitting at home smoking weed and weeping about the end times. You go out there and you change the loving world, maybe we lose a few million or billion, but maybe we can save a few people. Maybe we can slow it down, so it's not just the end of everything. Maybe people will quote this at me in 10 years with a hearty lol as the internet cuts out and we all aspirate on black flies coating the wet parts of our body. I don't know, but I refuse to do nothing, and I refuse to wallow about it. The new soil stuff is just microbes, this is my wife's field. You get a little jar of germs that you put in the soil that does all the hard work for you.
