Amazing takes I've enjoyed reading from elsewhere that I'm sure will also draw a smile from everybody here: Losing 95% of insects by biomass is no big deal, they aren't going extinct after all there's just fewer of them Climate change doesn't cause extinctions and shouldn't be worried about, animals just move to places they can inhabit while others move into those newly available spaces We can't lower our farming output under any circumstances because it'll cause poor people to starve; food waste is unavoidable and as good as it can get anyway Soil depletion is no big deal since soil manufacturing exists - that'll just scale up naturally as it's needed, and distributing it won't be an unsolvable problem anyway Further growth and industrialization will naturally be mitigated by increasing efficiencies in greenhouse gas production And of course my favorite - melting glaciers, drying rivers, and depleting aquifers aren't a problem since nuclear power plants, desalination plants, and pipelines for moving fresh water inland have decades yet to be built before it's a major problem Thus the world is saved and nothing need be changed infinite capitalism forever hooray we're all gonna die and it's gonna be funny as hell

Scientists: We need to cut back emissions immediately, and go negative as fast as possible Corporations: That sounds dumb. Let's launch a shitload of satellites and make space billboards instead. Yup quote:“Orbital billboards are the revolution on the market of communications.

we've got until 2030 for major reductions because it's all in human emissions and individual action combined with awareness campaigns will easily be enough right surely we have time left "having a kid is what gives me hope for the future, even when environmental catastrophe is keeping me up at night—that it has to work out, because she's here" "it has to work out" lmao

Two big conferences at the end of 2020, huh? Be a real shame if a US veto annihilated that UN treaty wouldn't it? I wonder who's in office ----oh. It's okay, I'm sure we'll have another chance. It's not like it'll be a problem for several decades anyway, so what's the rush? I'm sure there's nothing at all that might change that optimistic estimate.

Moridin920 posted:What I find interesting is that the news is all reporting this as "the strongest cyclone in 20 years." Which is accurate. However they leave out that the one 20 years ago was the strongest ever recorded cyclone in the North Indian Ocean. It's just framed as if "oh well these happen like this every once in a while" not as "these storms are getting stronger and more frequent globally." Numbers went up, you see. It's nature adapting to capitalism as all things should.

A raw man must kill with his bare hands. The battered warrior, a weapon. The commander, his bellowing voice, the conspirator, a whispered word. But all these pale compared to kingship. A true sovereign need not flex a single muscle in his body, and a hundred men die. A true sovereign may murder without a single impulse, or even intent, sight, breath, or even thought of his murder. He is an idiot indifferent to his own violence. He has sublimed the act of obliteration.

I have seen like two butterflies but that's all, no moths yet. No crickets either and they're usually common. It's unusually devoid of insect life so far this year and I can't tell if it's just because of the hosed up climate change winter where we got like 12 start-stop winters or if it's because they're all gone extinct now. quote:The causes, however, appear to be clearer: a combination of habitat degradation and loss, light pollution, destruction of water tables, and pesticides, Pfeiffer said.

autism ZX spectrum posted:Apparently if you plant corn in along with a kind of bean you can actually achieve a crop that replenishes the soil, but it's impossible to have a machine harvest both at once so it's never going to happen. I don't remember the details but it's not just that our plants suck but the methods we use to plant and harvest them are garbage. autism ZX spectrum posted:It's infuriating because literally the only reason it "won't work" is that modern corn is engineered to be picked by a specific machine and having three plants all tangled up makes harvesting it via industrial machines almost impossible. Apparently corn in the past had the cobs all over but now it's grown to have them near the top to make it easier for machines to pick. Easier/cheaper to just ruin the earth forever for short term profits!!

I'm still not at all convinced that one degree warming is as bad as IPCC and relevant bodies think, it's much worse and we're starting to notice it this year (stay tuned!). We're all going down regardless, the only question is time frame.
