I’m sorry but these things drive me bonkers angry
You can’t ask billions of people to do shit whilst < 2700 billionaires refuse to do shit because they need their private jet to buy an apple. You can’t ask me to do a huge thing with zero impact whilst oil companies actively sabotage every effort to improve the climate so that shareholders can get that extra dollar.
We’re at the point that geo engineering is a must for our survival, thanks to politicians not caring and businesses caring only about their execs and share holders.
Having said that, if geo engineering is successful, it will be abused immediately to just continue polluting. Calling it now that politicians will spin this as a great thing, totally not so that their rich donors can continue to abuse the planet.
Also, in the beginning it won’t be successful. It will fail as politicians won’t allow the required investments and push for shortcuts and buddy buddy kickbacks from friendly companies, overriding scienctists and engineers in the process. That will destroy loads of lives and even more of the environment. That will become a scandal, them the politicians will do a mea culpa, and continue the same shit on a lower level whilst everyone ignores that large corporations yet again fucked over the world for profit.
Engineers and scientists will then pick up from there and manage to do the impossible and little bu little, progress will be made. Loads of profits will be made too, that’s always the main goal, but humanity still might be salvageable
Sorry, nonsense
People have been dying from heat in droves since decades ago. I recall 10-20 years ago a heatwave that overflowed morgues in France.
Not saying that climate change isn’t real or not disastrous, it is and so much more.
Just that this title is misleading at best
Carbon capture as a solution where you use power to filter out CO2 from the atmosphere is ONLY a viable strategy if we can make 100% carbon free power.
Until then you’d use 100 CO2 generating power to (after all losees) capture 30 CO2, it’s dumb. If you use a solar powered system instead, you still are losing as now someone else that could have used your solar power is using 100 CO2 while you pull only 30 out…
Once everything runs on CO2 free power, THEN it makes sense to start carbon capture, until then it’s only playfully pretending while making the situation actively worse.
Trees doesn’t work either, they die and release all that carbon back into the atmosphere
This totally is accidental and coincidental and has nothing to do with Google being a dick, as per usual.
So sad to see google now being the same shit as Microsoft
This totally is accidental and coincidental and totally not be design to get some sweet money from these foreign parties
Installl Linux, be done with paying for mediocre spyware
And everyone cared! … For about 5 minutes, then we were at the next news item and forgot all about this again.
We can’t find magical aircraft that can fly without fuel, so that’s it!
No
It makes it incredibly vital that we get shareholders and the C suite more money.
Anything else is optional and not very important
What do we do now?
Two things:
Make more money for share holders
Nothing
Die…
We’ll do three things:
I’d cross the street and put out the fire. Make him survive. Make him suffer, and live through the hellhole he created
Okay, jail those responsible.
We’re taking about our climate here, not a fraud with the % of berries in jam.
If I write bad checks I can go to jail, They’re actively sabotaging our survival, put Them. Away. In. Jail.
Don’t want to know it, don’t want to see anything about it anymore
I’ve seen the requirements to really really solve it and even if tomorrow, magically, politicians become ethical and caring and start working 100% to fix it, it would take decades of spending half the world’s GDP to fix this back to acceptable levels, maybe centuries to get it back to pre Industrial levels.
So far we’re not even willing to act as if we care. Do not think this won’t touch you if you’re under 50, you will see the blow back, hard.
I’m done caring, I’m done trying, let the world burn, humanity will end. I just try to enjoy the good ydays we have left, and hope that whatever comes after us learns. Doubt it, but one can hope.
No, exactly like that. The US has lots of useful exports, and as with banana Republics, almost all the money goes to a very limited set of rich and powerful
Basically do what you did to healthcare to the entire country
The US will next year be a third world banana Republic dictatorship
The same south that denies climate change.
When Florida has converted itself into a coral reef, I wonder what the refugees from there will say caused all that…
Thinking about that… Should we let those dirty refugees in anywhere at all? Maybe we should preemptively build a wall around those states, make sure they stay there and deal with their own shit, I’m sure they’ll understand
What os that protrusion right above his dick and balls in the x ray? Does he have a second dick?
Since prophecy was such a core part of BSG, I feel it was done quite well
