if we save those salmon from global warming it will create a moral hazard in which salmon will foolishly continue to try to be alive.

don't worry we have the technology to farm salmon now https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/salmon-farming-norway-algae-killed-fishing-seafood-council-a8925581.html oops nvm

This belongs in the Conspiracy thread, but here goes: If climate trends go they way they are, or likely get worse, then we're probably a year out from a "Cheap!" "Clean!" energy "breakthrough" getting announced. It will be completely fake, of course. An existing technology with a shiny new package, or something that works juuuust long enough to kick the can a couple years down the road, before failing. Something to keep the system running, and folks distracted as everything gets worse.

why yes it absolutely stores carbon for a fraction of established energy use and price no you can't know how, it's proprietary no it doesn't work when scientists are watching i am asking for ten billion dollars in startup capital

Instead of making up fake technologies the governments just silence all the reports as they reach "we gotta all do a revolution or we're ultrafucked" levels, like what they did with the IPCC and then hope nobody notices.

I had a 'bulk disseminate left-wing propaganda on reddit' phase and I racked up tens of thousands of points, dozens of gildings, etc. just from copy-pasting poo poo like it was a part-time job. Social media's an excellent vector.

The best solution is to enact a revenue-neutral carbon tax, increase it until carbon emissions have dropped to acceptable levels, and bypass this bunch of self-righteous, holier-than-thou environmental fascists running around shaming people for eating meat, driving to work, running the air conditioner, buying products from overseas, taking vacations, etc. Not serious, just a post I found on another message board.

ubachung posted:'Snow in Australia' is massively understating what's been happening here, we had a single cold weather system covering 4 states. (Our second-smallest state is the same size as the UK and the next one up is bigger than France...) And still no rain for a huge slice of the country. The average rainfall in my bit of NSW won't look too bad; the problem is, it all comes in a handful of ginormous storms rather than a nice steady soak over several weeks... This is the reality of climate change I guess: it's just a long, painful doom-spiral of people getting poorer and sadder and angrier and more desperate.

you might think a country like australia is unprepared for severe winters with snow becoming commonplace, but what's even better is we're stupidly unprepared for severe summers also! every year the decrepit public transport networks of sydney are inevitably crippled, rails bend roads melt and transformers explode as nobody gave thought to making them suitable to endure the climates we predictably and verifiably have on the regular already. entirely predictable and manageable droughts happen across the every couple of years with farmers begging the government to bail them out having done nothing previously to make farming their arid plot of bushland sustainable, which is entirely doable as the stories of people who have done just that always make an appearance in the dirt farmer sob story news cycle. instead of laughing at idiots and letting their unsustainable bullshit fail, or mandating water management/assessment on properties and drought preparedness plans as a precondition of bailout funds we just shovel billions into ARE FARMERS to let them do it all again next unusually dry season. bushfires we do actually prepare for with backburning and whatnot but turns out "preparing" for inferno hellscapes fuelled by trees that that naturally secrete flammable oil and vapour is kind of cross your fingers but poo poo's gonna burn anyway. i cant wait to burn/freeze (why not both at once) in my extremely dumb hellcountry.

Over here in NZ it feels like summer was hotter than usual and the current winter has been really colder and wetter but that might just be the brain worms doing their thing

My fiancee and I somehow ended up getting into Masterchef Australia and this past season they had an episode that featured some of the drought relief for farmers. They were trucking in endless bales of hay and feed for the livestock in the region. I couldn't help but wonder how many years in a row people will be willing to do something like that before accepting the new reality.

I'm the minute spot of "lowest rain on record" centred exactly over Eromanga, pop. 400. Telephones posted:wow. roos in the snow. its really beautiful in a strange way. anyway are they being farmed for meat? Farming them is basically impossible in that they have zero herding instincts, can jump really high, and have a deeply weird reproductive cycle. And wild ones are host to all sorts of interesting parasites. But I agree, roos in the snow is beautiful, in a strange sort of way.
