There's all these papers about how there'll be temperatures to let crocodiles inhabit the arctic ocean along with pine trees growing in the arctic circle, and it's just occurred to me that there's an entire continent at a pole.

Economic Patriotism courtesy of Elizabeth Warren, considered by Americans to be a radical leftist.quote:The specific Warren proposal on this score has three parts, a Green Apollo Program, a Green Marshall Plan, and a Green Industrial Mobilization. Clean Energy R&D, between 6-20 billion dollars per year depending on if it takes the Trump budget cuts into consideration Marshall Plan, $100 billion dollars total Industrial Mobiliation, $150 billion dollars per year. Basically, 265ish billion dollars per year in industry subsidies as her perfect ideal policy proposal to be inevitably watered down and/or destroyed by an inevitably Republican Congress within three years. Radical leftism in action, everybody. Human civiliation will be carbon neutral by 2200 at this rate because we'll all be dead

A quick lmao for everybody with regards to farm soil loss that I dug up on a whim - we all know it's estimated at about 75 billion tons per year for the United States alone. Courtesy of the Bureau of Transportation Statistics we know thanks to table 2-4 that the US transported a little over 28.5 billion tons of cargo in 2017. Total. As in railroads, trucks, river shipping, literally everything all together shipped about a third of the total that we'd need of end product alone to offset soil loss. Thanks to the explanation of table 2-2 we know that 50% of that by weight was shipped less than 100 miles. That, too, would be going way up since, well, the supplies for that effort wouldn't exactly be mined out of the rest of the farmland now would it? ... I guess we'll just be building fucktons more trucks and laying fucktons more rail and building fucktons more highway and factories and mines and chemical refineries numbers go up can get us out of this right?

Eh, I'm still getting the occasional bout of hysterical laughter at the permafrost melting a literal order of magnitude faster than expected. I mean, the clathrate gun was 500-800 years or so away from firing according to the model of permafrost melt and if that follows like the surface stuff is, then it'll be 50-80 which is just...

India's short of water, Pakistan's short of water, Afghanistan's short of water, Iran's getting into short of water, Bangladesh is trying to help its coastal villages handle salt water influx, Thailand and Myanmar are running short on water... That entire region is poised to let go. The response I've seen is "well, they shouldn't have let the government centralize water control instead of keeping the tradition of local ponds fed by monsoons they've got plenty of water really it's all government's fault free market lol"

Anyway, we've had a lot of doom and gloom recently so I wonder what technological wonders by our farsighted captain of industry billionaires have been made to save us all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHX9pmQ6m_s&t=294s The main use being to make... oil extraction cheaper. And they hope that this technology will help ensure that we only end up 50% reliant on fossil fuels by 2040. Good news, everyone. Oil prices are going to go down and oil company stock is still an excellent investment!

I will volunteer, protest, march, and fight. I haven't given up on the world and neither should you. While the third world continues to develop. 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.
