That is the most important thing we can do right now. No pitying yourself when you haven’t even done anything yet.maybe you are right. I mean the other option is just pointless doomerism aka I guess I will just die.
>>2752471>aka I guess I will just die.Basically that
ok what do i need to learn. fuck. three sisters? degrowth? water production systems?
>>2752705>three sistersMaybe, but I would suggest looking into indoor agriculture
>degrowthUnderstanding how capital forces society to chase increasingly unrealistic goals in pursuit of infinite growth would be good
>water production systems?Including desalination, absolutely.
>>2752713uhh any resources, youtubers etc? can just give me a general pointer.
since it's all over shouldn't we just be aiming to survive instead?
>>2752971Communism is when humanity's struggle for life truly begins.
>>2752736I don’t think you’ll need too much of anything that will be hard to find. At least not in terms of the individual concepts.
For degrowth, the video provided is pretty good at explaining the concept. I would suggest looking anything related to enshittification, it’s very related to the subject. And generally, you’ll find plenty of the subject, but I would advise being cautious about what information you find. It’s been quite misconstrued by people invested in the current mode of production.
As for everything else, you’ll find the resources in a similar manner. Plenty of educational resources online. Like these two links:
https://www.ars.usda.gov/oc/utm/vertical-farming-no-longer-a-futuristic-concept/https://www.usgs.gov/water-science-school/science/desalination#overviewAs for putting these concepts together, that’s a bit more difficult. I’m going to have to think that introduction over for a bit.
>>2753267>>2752736Alright. Read this article:
https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/third-place-mall-climate-shelter And then go research Paolo Soleri, the inner workings of underground shelters, and habitation in space. That should give you gist of enclosed habitation.
Here’s a bonus link for fun:

>More solar energy falls on the Earth in a day than global civilization uses in a year but we couldn't figure it out because too many people wanted to be streamers instead of STEMlords.truke
>>2752762While it's true that Earth receives far more (unused) solar energy in a day than humanity uses in a year, you suggested also that this gap exists because people chose nontechnical paths. I disagree. The real barriers are infrastructure, storage, economics, and policy rather than a lack of STEM talent. One might argue we should use solar energy immediately instead of storing it, which aligns with real strategies like demand shifting and addressing the duck curve. However, because of intermittency and the mismatch between when energy is produced and when it is needed, storage and backup systems are still necessary. The most effective approach combines real time energy use, smarter demand timing, storage, and a mix of energy sources rather than relying on a single solution.
>>2757465Arent batteries a problem? Can they be reused? Otherwise we will run out of them. We need renewable batteries or some shit
>>2757842i think you can technically make a "renewable" battery but like even normal ones arent good enough right now i think so idk
>>2758060>just-in-time production of electricity isn't the whole problem that you can't do that ? I mean sure you can keep it low and then start up another gaz powerplant,but solar and wind aren't on you to open them up unless you're already making a surplus
>>2757842you can reuse batteries up to thousands of times, it's (mostly) a solved problem, the problem is you keep 80% of the battery's efficiency when recycled, so you have to add an additional 20% of the main element (lithium, or potentially something else)

We've likely got a fat el niño incoming this year folkx

>What a super El Niño does, when it arrives on top of a baseline that has shifted this much this fast, is pile the natural variability on top of the anthropogenic forcing in a way that pushes the climate system into territory that has no close analog anywhere in the observational record. The 1997 event occurred when the planet was roughly 0.6°C above preindustrial. The 2015 event occurred around 1.0°C. If we get the event the models are forecasting, it will occur at somewhere between 1.4 and 1.5°C of warming. We are not looking at 1997 plus a little more heat. We are looking at a fundamentally different starting point, with the same amount of additional energy being dumped out of the Pacific into an atmosphere that has already been primed by three decades of accelerating fossil fuel emissions.
>Let me put some concrete numbers around what we should expect, because abstractions about degrees Celsius tend to glaze people’s eyes over, and this is going to affect food supplies, insurance markets, and public health in ways that will be impossible to ignore by December.
>The 1997 super El Niño caused an estimated five trillion dollars in global damage, according to subsequent economic analyses, including crop losses in Southeast Asia and Australia, catastrophic flooding along the west coast of South America, severe drought and wildfire activity in Indonesia and the Amazon, coral bleaching across the Pacific, and a spike in vector-borne disease in several parts of the tropics. That figure is in late-1990s dollars, against a global economy less than a third the size of today’s. The modern equivalent would be significantly larger even before you factor in the additional warming that has occurred since.>>2788301>fat el nino>boe is estimated as a possibility this year…..OH NO
>>2788301But I don't want to
>>2788301so are we gonna die
>>2792805well expect unprecedented pacific winds and floods
>>2792810>me who lives in calNOOO
>>2792816i live even closer and i have no fear
You marxists told me the end of history is te victory of the proles.
I didnt think it would be mad max
>>2794146Tbf someone said the choice was Socialism or barbarism.
>>2794293Even then, a barbarian may still be a noble savage, while the patricians are strategically hostile to the lower orders
>>2794306trve its time to return to monke
>>2794293Barbarism has won, it never even was a competition tbh, anything else always was a beautiful dream.
embrace barbarism and fight the monsters, only in resistance humanity can shine.
in a less cheesy note, I do think that we are witnessing the end of global industrial society, productive forces will collapse bit by bit while billions will have to migrate or die. Probably both.
>>2827256>I do think that we are witnessing the end of global industrial societyWe’re dead if that’s the case. You either have industry or you die from wet bulb because you can’t make cooling systems anymore.
>>2827651People still think you can just revert the means of production and scale down, pretty funny
Im afraid of the ministry for the future india heatwave happening
I don't get why stopping most production is infeasible. Isn't there like a surplus stored somewhere? We can do with rations for a while, why not?
any estimate to when the total collapse of modern agriculture due to the climate crisis will happen? how will it be like in global south countries? (i don't wanna die anons)
>>2831185Don't be childish, there won't be a sudden collapse, but deterioration is already well underway, if you live in the first world you are likely to not be aware, but states are already forced to pay farmers a lot in damages as weather fucks monocrops up more and more, profitability is getting questionable and the general response from both capital and governments is either useless or just making everything worse in the longterm.
There won't be a sudden stop on modern agriculture, but it's doomed nonetheless.
>>2831202as i said, i live in a global south country and yea many farmers are not growing crops they earlier would have because
- the irrigation infra is not providing enough water
- the govt has this thing called minimum support price where they guarantee to buy the farmer's yield at a base price if they are not able to sell it and msp for many crops has fallen a lot
tldr it looks bleak as fuck
i wish to be self reliant with my food but i live in a city with a small apartment and i can't really grow shit
>>2831205my bad, I didn't get you were living in the south. Shit's fucked, and a paradigm shift in agriculture is needed asap. My personal advice (purely based on feelings) is to try and start growing stuff for you and comrades
>>2831206do you have a balcony? Or maybe a cheap plot not too far away?
>>2831215i do have a balcony yeah, but i already have a small garden in it (decorative plants)
