is there data somewhere showing current change relative to pre-industrial by region, state, etc.? I know areas are already at +2C, like parts of the New Jersey coast

Thread is extremely good today. About the new asset class based on anything that sustains life at all, I truly do hate it but it would be wild if they NYSE machinations even buy us one extra day for their efforts

A bit like the way UPS sued Canada under NAFTA for having a national post. The tribunal threw that one out but gently caress United Parcel Smashers anyway.

exxon is going to buy a bunch of the rainforest assets and say that credits them to being able to drill a whole bunch more

He had been mulling over data showing the Gulf of Maine’s rate of warming over the past decade. That rate seemed high to him, but he wanted to know how it compared to warming in the rest of the ocean. nobody here cares. eat lobster lmao

Surely 15 years of a nearly double warming rate has manifested some effects on the coastal regions and even more inland. Most articles about the Gulf of Maine are about effects on marine life and fisheries. Lobsters and cod moving north for colder water. Anyone from the area can chime in on changes they've seen in the past 15 years? Regarding warming waters and fishing, I think the Chesapeake Bay area started having a large shrimp harvest a year or two ago. The shrimp have moved into the area from further south. Good for shrimp prices in VA, I guess.

bagual posted:The biosphere sustained 90%+ diversity destruction several times from cosmic catastrophes on a power scale humans thankfully may never reach like the permian event asteroids and extreme temperature cycles, and bacteria, plants, fungus, algae, insects, anelids and simple ocean organisms like plankton corals and jellies lived through all that Maybe maybe...... I'm still holding out hope the the disruption wrought by plastics is a special type of destruction not even equaled by global warming. 10,000 years from now, when humans are all dead and the temp has returned to normal, most of the plastic will still be there, except for the tiny bit exposed on land that sunlight destroys. The micro particals and BPAs will still be being passed up and down the food chain causing reproductive issues. Right now we're poisoning some microorganisms like plankton. I suppose bacteria and viruses are unaffected.

actionjackson posted:is there data somewhere showing current change relative to pre-industrial by region, state, etc.? I know areas are already at +2C, like parts of the New Jersey coast The National Weather Service is going to have data available for about one hundred years or more for individual stations across the US. You can look at the data yourself, but it's not as easy as what you probably want. Here's the page for the NYC forecast office: https://www.weather.gov/okx/ The 30-year averages that they use to calculate normal temps also just got redone for 2020. Places like Boston increased by like 2F over the last 30-year period. In other words, if you see a forecast that says temps will be normal, it's actually a few degrees warmer than the previous normal. Woo.

Shear Modulus posted:exxon is going to buy a bunch of the rainforest assets and say that credits them to being able to drill a whole bunch more it's still profit seeking, and the profit from rain forests doesn't come from letting them exist. they'll burn the forest for fields, and buy carbon offset credits from an exxon owned charity to plant tress in a recent deforested area in the US, so that place can then buy carbon offset credits from the charity that's going to plant the crops in the ex-rainforest space.

so i just started a graduate level course titled 'geographic information systmes for climate change science' and in our first zoom meeting, my ancient professor replied to a concerned student bringing up the leaked report from the IPCC with something like "yeah when i graduated, the issue everyone was worried about was global cooling! there's always a 'crisis' of some sort so i'm pretty skeptical about whatever new sensation is being peddled these days" my climate change science professor is a climate change skeptic. very interesting. so i decided to look this guy up and  ahahahahhahhahahahahahahhahahahaahhahahahaahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

There are bacteria that do metabolize those things. Their problem is their fellows and immune systems metabolizing them back.

"demand will just naturally decline in an orderly way" is the dumbest take when we have superpowers with nuclear weapons in play

I might be misremembering*, but I'm pretty sure he was mentioned in "Stupid to the Last Drop: How Alberta Is Bringing Environmental Armageddon to Canada (And Doesn't Seem to Care)". Dude's sucked a lot of Koch over the years. Could be an interesting class if you want a window into maintaining contrarianism in the face of a tsunami of evidence.*hard to keep track of these shitbirds.

my good friend is a marine biologist specializing in coral and her lab is effectively building a coral ark, since they are convinced that the oceans are going to soon be completely inhospitable to all corals and so they’re trying to freeze them so that they can unfreeze them at some arbitrary point in the future and we don’t just lose all the coral to extinction. seems like a worthwhile graduate school result.
