Agreed, it's totally outrageous that she takes a lovely two-week ride on a fossil-free boat without comforts instead of flying, what a terrible person she is. Autistic, too!

I could've sworn she went in front of all the world leaders last year and basically told them all to get hosed, that things were going to change whether they liked it or not.

vyelkin posted:the only difference is she's also a really prominent public figure and the right absolutely loves attacking her and trying to find any trace of hypocrisy in her actions that they could use to discredit her and the entire climate crisis movement, so it actually is absolutely imperative that she do things like avoid flying so that they can't pull out the Al Gore/Leonardo DiCaprio line and say "look what a hypocrite telling us we need to restructure our entire civilization while still enjoying all the carbon-emitting benefits of our civilization like flying everywhere to attend protests" People are already doing that, the comments sections are bursting with idiots who only read "yacht" in the headline and assume she's going on a luxury cruise, not eating dried food on a racing boat with zero amenities for two weeks. Also, she's mentally ill and a literal child who should be in school.

It takes something like five years to build a nuclear plant if it stays on schedule.

lmao https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4698/9/1/26 quote:Although wealth inequality has many established negatives, this study investigates a potential positive, unprecedented wealth concentration makes it possible for solutions to large and seemingly intractable problems to be deployed by convincing a relatively small number of individuals to invest. In order to probe this potential outcome of inequality, this study quantifies the number of people necessary to radically reduce the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global climate destabilization from the U.S. electric grid, which is one of the largest sources of emissions. Specifically, this study determined that 1544 GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology must be deployed to eliminate the use of fossil fuels on the U.S. electric grid, if PV is conservatively deployed as a function of population density. The results showed that only 79 American multi-billionaires would need to invest in PV. This investment would still leave each investor with a billion dollars of liquid assets as well as substantial long-term profits from PV. The analysis also concluded that 79 people is a conservative upper estimate of those that would need to be convinced of the usefulness of moving to a solar U.S. grid and that this estimate is likely to decrease further in the future.

Gareth Gobulcoque posted:I know exquisite misanthropy is all the rage here but I really hope human civilization survives and emerges better. I was pretty miserable all day from the new projections and eventually caught myself, started thinking the same thing, maybe we aren't that stupid after all and will find a solution before it's too late. Then the news came on and there was a five minute segment about a veterinary hospital that had hired a dog telepath.

I looked up the dog telepath lady and apparently her skills aren't limited to dogs or the living. A few years back, during a seance at a church, she convinced a former horse owner that her horse was in horsey heaven, scolding her for being in financial trouble that forced her to sell it to a dude who had it put down.Blockade posted:Why would they be? In the year of our lord 2019, more people believe in ghosts than climate change. We just need to convince them that dinosaur ghosts are responsible. I know just the person for that task! Shima Honnou posted:It owns that if it were being done by aliens, whether legal (space) or illegal (not-space), the entire earth would have banded together with a rousing speech and fought back and a crazy old guy would save the day, but since it's being done by hubris and the golden cow that can do no wrong called capitalism we just have to deal with probably killing everything more complex than an amoeba lmao The segment of right-wing populists who reluctantly acknowledge climate change are already busy convincing their followers the reason is Africans having too many children and cooking with wood-burning stoves.

dream9!bed!! posted:Surely one of these economic models realizes that gains are better over the medium to long term if society and a habitable earth exist? Were we always doomed to be killed by selfish monsters (I know, I know)? The same models that say unemployment is good for the economy because rational actors will accept lower wages thus allowing job creators to hire more people? No, they don't. I recently read an interview with an economics professor from the Danish Technical University who thought we just needed to incentivise Eastern Europe to drop coal in favour of ~green jobs~ thus fixing the climate forever, and also that her grandchildren would enjoy greater material wealth than her own generation. The crux of her argument was that it would be bad to limit commercial flights because interacting with other cultures was good for personal growth.
