I can't stress enough how horrific the environmental collapse of Earth is.
3.7 billion years of life thrown away for pedo islands and super yachts. Quite possibly one of the most evil undertakings ever committed.
Don’t despair this is just a blip in the timeline
Earth has seen worse
Oh yeah we are fucked
I thought dirt_owl was talking about the reefs
I'd prefer not to die if possible. At least with the great dying in the Permian-Triassic Period that was something the life on Earth had no way of preventing. But with this Modern collapse, we could have avoided this whole thing. Instead a bunch of rich assholes made sure we made it worse for their stupid treats. That's the sad part.
The super yacht assholes all have those survival caves in Colorado and New Zealand. They think they’re invincible but I’m pretty sure the real winners are gonna be whoever wins the mutiny fight with these weak idiots.
They'll die from their own incompetence if it comes to that
That's 36 celsius, for us normal people.
which is fucking insane btw
I just want to stop feeling more and more existential dread and terror jesus fucking christ
All you need to do is avoid contact with civilization and do enough drugs to forget everything you've learned about climate science, history politics and economics. Simple as
There was a story beat where after he ran off, he found construction which made him super angry

i stg i'm not advocating for anything (MODS) but my genuine viewpoint is that we're staring down the barrel of such mass death that any action we take now against the ruling class is ultimately gonna be justified
fr, doesn't look like anyone's going to see the light on their own.
undefined> i'm not advocating for anything (MODS)
Be a lot cooler if you were
oh shit i forgot you're a mod here!
in that case i am explicitly advocating for actionable violence, and preferably as soon as possible
if this gets removed i'll know you fought to the last to defend itI like to chime in every time someone mentions the mods
looking forward to that 600 mbar 1500 mile wide category 5 hurricane later this year
We need at least 1,000 more Titan subs to handle this situation.
Carbonate, boiling is our last concern because at that point the Earth would be transforming into Venis and it was already game over.
CO2 + H2O => H2CO3 => H+ + HCO3-
Critically for many shell-forming marine organisms, carbonate (CO3-2) is simultaneously consumed by reaction of the excess of hydrogen ions produced from the reaction above:
H+ + CO3- => HCO3-
Combining the two reactions, the net affect is approximately that one unit of carbonate ion is consumed for each unit of carbon dioxide added to seawater.
CO2 + H2O + CO3-2 ↔ 2HCO3-
Because the reactions run simultaneously, both pH and the availability of carbonate are reduced as the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide rises.
sea levels rising due to glacial melt is good now
Easier to bottle and sell carbonated seawater than still-boiling seawater, so we know which one they'll choose.
if poeple say this online it's whatever, you can safely ignore it
if someone in the same room as you says this, try to meet them where they're at; "So god is angry with the United States/capitalism/the global market?" Maybe they just start bashing LGBT people, or maybe maybe there's a real conversation to be had. But you won't know unless you ask.
Turns out, God hates ghg in the atmosphere, it gets him real mad and he turns up the temperature
I try to remind myself that most christians aren't like this but it gets hard since i get so little exposure to regular people. It gets hard to get into theological arguments with people who aren't terminally online
Its funny because u actually know a guy on discord with the username supercell. Sent it to him
To be clear he's a good guy and would not say something like this. Its just hilarious they have the same name.
So as undergrad I did take an elective in which we modeled some basic algae growth in a moving body of water, a river bed. Temperature was one ingredient (and "sunlight", co2, "nutritions" etc., flow speed). Besides that Navier Stokes is really annoying. Small changes in temperature had a huge impact on static weight of algae and amount of dispersed algae.
In other words can anyone tell me what the effects will be for the coastal ecology with such huge and lasting high temperatures?
I'm not a full ecologist yet, only just started my degree, but as far as I know, everything from salinity to acidity and oxygen levels will be affected, which is very, very bad.
Can't some disruptive geniuses just pay some engineers to come up with a robot to drop ice cubes in the water to cool it down?

Jeebus, are we really at the "leave the freezer door open to cool down your apartment" levels of problem solving already?
some indicators will go waaaaaaaaay up and others will go waaaaaaaaaay down and they'll try to self correct but they won't be able to because now everything's going up and down really quickly and scientists will all be like 'wtf we cant even' and AI won't be able to help because the training data doesn't exist for a shitshow of this magnitude meanwhile in the real world things will probably smell really bad and be inedible for a while/forever.
Convinced this is part of why we're seeing a resurgence in UFO/UAP/Whatever discourse, especially on the right. Even if you don't "believe" in climate change, it's pretty undeniable that something is wrong. And if you read a lot of the UFO crowd comments (which I do for some reason) they all believe the government has been withholding secret alien unlimited clean energy technology. Essentially wunderwaffe for climate change.
Editing to add that I'm glad I don't have children. I can't possibly imagine trying to explain to them the world they're going to inherit.

Don't need to have your own children to experience this, just work in education
I’m American so it’d be illegal for me to explain it to any kids in the class
My relatives think that the government is directly controlling the weather to make people think global warming is real.
Like the wildfires in Quebec that blanketed the east coast with smoke last month? They weren't caused be an unprecedentedly dry and warm winter, further exasperated by years of forest firefighting budgets being slashed by conservative provincial governments. Nah, the governments are setting the fires on purpose because "there's no way a fire can get that big on its own."
Your relatives will drink bleach if somebody forbids them from doing so.
You know what you have to do.
East coast chud dipshits, big fires are nothing new, even west coast chud dipshits know that
Not joking. I just explain that they live in a bourgeois dictatorship and that even though a lot of people will tell you otherwise, the history of the Soviet Union offers a lot of lessons about a path forward.
