Buffer posted:Are crickets even that much more efficient at turning feed into meat than chickens? yes, as a general rule of thumb the smaller the animal the higher is the efficiency in the mass intake to protein formation process, the food quantities involved are so small they absolutely must make use of every calorie, larger animals allow for larger inefficiencies by compensating through food input scale and fat reserve building i've made posts about ANTS and EATING ANTS last thread because it's common in certain regions of Brazil, but long story short just eat the goddamn ants you picky babbies

Leroy Diplowski posted:I'm reading a book on jellyfish and the author is going on a little tangent on corals. Apparently corals have survived ocean acidification and global warming before and we see them emerge onto the fossil record after ocean acidification events. 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 as always it's not so much a "life on earth" problem as a "all currently existing complex life on earth, including us" problem, and the way we handling this i bet you can add a few zeroes to that tens of thousands

Perry Mason Jar posted:By poors you mean working class? They would do better but they couldn't prevent climate change from making the planet inhospitable, no. They also would be severely hindered in doing better if capitalist states (with power) exist contemporaneously as there is a constant need to respond to counter-revolutionary sabotage as well as to participate in the global market systems (currency, most particularly, you can pretty much kick the IMF out if you want but your currency will be worth nothing because it won't be allowed on that market; see: Cuba, North Korea; see: Venezuelan Petro). you really can only argue nothing matters in this fashion from a position of first world comfort did evo morales stop environmental crimes in bolivia? hell no, but the fash coup gov was blow up mountains with the people still on them and cart off the lithium profits to miami did cuba fail at achieving socialism? maybe, but just look at haiti right besides it to see what long term despoiling destruction looks like, there's basically no topsoil left did brazil stop deforestation with it's center left pink tide government? no, but it steadily reduced deforestation rates only for them to skyrocket the moment they were out along with a new push to displace and genocide native populations you're not wrong that socialism didn't win yet and climate change megadeaths are going to happen, but the case for revolution is choosing between dead eyed fash psychos skinning your family alive in front of you before shoving a live rat up your rear end or taking care of managing the decline through having a semblance of collective rule ala countries where socialism did win like vietnam

Perry Mason Jar posted:My argument is not nothing matters. it's just that when you demand solutions like this quote:What you are saying is a solution surely exists because I believe a solution exists or else it's too upsetting for me to acknowledge that there isn't any solution (now, today, not forty years ago). i can't help but wonder if there would be some solution if a big share of humanity's collective iq was directed into finding said solutions rather than, say, getting people to click ads or hiding oil industry crimes or making up bullshit false hopes in the end we're just dumb anonymous posters with limited reading comprehension, the fact that nobody here can come up with any reasonable or realistic mitigation strategy doesn't mean it can't exist, the power to change the world is never given, it's taken, and if you can't even imagine the possibility you already surrendered, in my mind at least i guess we're angrily agreeing with eachother because the topic is so rage inducing, i've read so much "nothing matters we're doomed" poo poo and it's really grating, your big news posts were very cool btw

Perry Mason Jar posted:Oh there's undoubtedly a solution if that were the case. I'm just of the mind that we've missed the window on solutions. At best? If I was really pressed to come up with a solution that doesn't require a time machine I guess I'd go with BCCS. I mean if we create an algae patch the size of India and it doesn't work it still seems like a good project. I'm pretty confident that it wouldn't be sufficient though. A lot of this (my) fatalism derives from the feedback loops which as far as I know there isn't anyone anywhere with any plan to put those genies back in the bottle. I also do try to keep in mind that climate effects and weather systems are exponential systems, I think the window for revolution + solution is (for that reason) remarkably small. We need decades of socialist governments working in concert with absent or minimal capitalist interference. It's such a tall order that I struggle to see it as particularly distinct from Benevolent Aliens, Jesus' Return, or Miracle Technology. Only real distinction is that putting our eggs into those other baskets will surely be less fruitful than the revolution one, but we're again talking more about the capacity of people to live freely and safely rather than to fix the planet. oh we absolutely missed the window on "saving" anything, it's a mitigation effort now, the contrast if you allow me a covid parallel is giving away vaccines for free like china or enforcing patents no matter the cost in lives like the first world and to be fair i think if communism won worldwide before the biosphere collapse made itself so readily apparent we'd be doing the poo poo like the aral sea fuckup and war on sparrows too, modernity is such a self centered idiot project it'd be hard to take things responsibly even while treating the poor as people instead of human resources if i had a take on a solution it'd be shifting manufacture to non plastic ultra-durables, then shutting most of it down and just keeping up with the replacements, no long travel except by muscle/wind power, agroforests taking place of monoculture, managed population decline, deurbanization, electricity/internet only for collective spaces, communal zero waste kitchens everywhere, poo poo like that Cup Runneth Over posted:gently caress you!

Bolsonaro is looking dead in the water for next year so they're rushing to deforest as much as possible while financial rewards and legal immunity are guaranteed. without knowing anything about brazilian politics, can you spot when the Workers Party started enforcing environmental regulations and when they got couped?  that said they also made some hydroelectrics in the name of national progress and are too soft to expropriate and imprison the mega landlords that will squat on the newly minted grassy fields with their cattle in short, only trust these guys

Al-Saqr posted:If you make big public housing and use land more efficiently you can fit tons of people effectively, there's a poo poo ton of land and resources, the problem is the use of the land and who owns it. Al Saqr i know you know this deep in your heart but every westerner is either hostile, clueless or completely checked out on the environment, they either embrace some sort of green grift or just give up and turn into a sad ball of over-intellectualized excuses. For example, in this thread there was some guy going around saying he's a sentient extinction event. Cringe. These guys will keep going "but the number!!!" and "we're already dead!!!" for the rest of our lives.

Turtle Sandbox posted:I feel like "the solution to climate change is full communism now" is cspam as hell and unrealistic. there is no solution to climate change, it's just we'll go through it with either socialism or barbarism i think the "there's no mitigation to be done" camp is just waiting for an ersatz biblical apocalypse, a day of reckoning which will come when "the climate change" will finally destroy everything, something like that there's no true relief in giving up, it's not like it's just climate change that's the problem, there's the slew of problems that are political in nature and totally avoidable like britain spewing poo poo and toxic waste all over it's coast, dam neglect flooding entire hydro basins with arsenic mud mining byproduct, ambitiously stupid water use expansion projects causing rivers to literally run dry when a drought hits, it's endless bullshit really, even if it's gonna all turn to desert it doesn't need to be a toxic desert too so that's why in my opinion if you think doing something about these isn't worth it because climate scenario RCP8.5 will destroy everything in a couple of years then i don't think you're fit to talk about what's worth doing really, too far up your own rear end to see the biosphere collapse that's already happening in front of you, the issue is society is not only not decelerating it's stepping hard on the gas, if you can't oppose that even in idle thought you're too far gone not that i expect anything of you really, we're just here to lol and lmao and
