So if I understand the colorful gifs and pictures of the Arctic correctly the whole climate pattern is falling completely apart which it has been splitting and reforming (per Shima Honnou) every 6 to 8 weeks, but it hasn't yet reformed after its last split. In addition to that, the emissions from 2010? 2012? aren't being felt yet. Is that about the correct lag period or is it faster/slower? Oh and Siberia is on mega fire thus increasing emissions and what was thought to be 'safe' ice fractured and it's all melting in a worst case styled scenario. I mostly get that right? All this take of domes and I'll be in the angry dome.

Perry Mason Jar posted:We're feeling the effects from carbon emitted in the last century (it's typically given as 40 years but the confidence range is 25 to 50 years - 37.5 is the most likely). By 2016 an additional 0.6C of warming had been locked in (via carbon emissions). Locked in warming is obviously higher now four years on with no peak. Ok so the lag is more significant than I thought/remember. Cool. Addamere posted:Yes, you understand. Lol we're so dead.

vyelkin posted:It's worse now. The only part I wasn't super certain about was the lag between emissions to impact. The bringing up of Blue Ocean Event is what prompted me into finally asking. Seems like anything as low as 10ish years to as long as 40...but the time period before dissipation doesn't seem to have changed much from my Environmental class ~14 years ago. Even on the shortened 10 year scale we've done literally nothing so it's academic really. If it is on the 30-40 year lag between emission to impact WELP fate already sealed lmao have a good one. Shima Honnou posted:I still love how anyone thinks they can outrun a thing that will take millions of years to reverse, assuming it ever does. Money is a brain disease. When you spend your entire life being able to solve every problem you ever encounter with money of course you're going to think it will solve this problem too!

CODChimera posted:Where's everyone at after all the ice melting? i've actually looped back around to thinking that we will be fine, scientists will solve it maybe? Substance abuse mostly. Answering some questions from my mom/other family members because this stuff has punctured even into the BBC sphere of reporting and they're 'uhhhh wait it has all melted...how?' and 'So after it all melts what happens?' Trying to explain Hypercane and not be giddy about it was harder than I expected. Enjoy your hope I guess

The funny thing being is that gravity batteries exist. Excess electrical capacity is used to pump water up hill and that water is then used during peak or something to spin a turbine. No idea on how the math works out, but if you're running something like a nuke plant where it's somewhat difficult to adjust output it isn't the *worst* idea. I believe some hydroelectric dams do this as well.

Shima Honnou posted:Ash is a natural de-icing agent so if the smoke deposits ash on the ice it melts even more. Either way the albedo of smoke is lower than that of clouds or snow to begin with so it's worse than either regardless. I was just thinking this. Cinder is used pretty often to help with snow and ice in certain parts of the US so that can only do great things to the Arctic ice.

Lol imagine getting completely bent out of a shape for something that is a 'plan' for a candidate without a vote even cast yet. Fortunately it won't matter if the plan has nuke power or not because 1/5 of all oxygenation on the planet won't exist in a year.

Complications posted:The most hilarious part is that if the Dems win the next election and care enough to try to bring those regulations back it'll spawn a dozen lawsuits that'll take until 2026 or better to play out, which means it'll require at least two Dem presidencies in a row before the damage will be staunched. Of course, that's assuming that those protections aren't permanently traded away in exchange for, oh I dunno, a one year extension for some tax cuts or a patch on the ACA or something. These are regulations setup and enforced by the agencies themselves under guidance from the executive. So of course the Dems will trade away a unilateral power if they were to have the presidency. The court part you're probably hosed on unless they fundumentaly change/accelerate that process. The amount of horrific devastation continues to be impressive.
