>>2724691Bruh it 90 degrees in feburary here shits fucked
its so over
Kinda hard to care about progressing in life when you know we will probably be at 3degrees above baseline by 2035
>>2724749the fact that you think is just hard and not impossible is crazy to me
Blue ocean event this year or next?
>>2724691It's because you had to take a shower and live in a spacious house, you will sleep in the bed you made.
>>2724724>It's so overIt's over, over
RECYCLE NOW
>>2724884It's actually about cancelling third world rampant pollution, but greta will nver get it. Her eyes are stars of remphan.
Where has she been?
>>2724969She sailed for 40 days to deliver rice to gaza, A good break is probably in order.
jews we're doing death threats on here, she's only 12-16 yrs old I think.
>>2724991> gardenI hope it's large enough to offset your carbon foot print
pro tip: it's not.
get in the pit.
I love how everyone here is just shitposting because we all know theres nothing stopping climate change at this point
>>2725001You want to start a war about it?
Didn't think so. Shut up.
A dreamed some years ago that a massive wave was coming to swallow the whole world. I remember thinking inside the dream
>maybe there's something meaningful about being born just in time for the end of the world
With time I've come to feel like that dream was prophetic.
>>2724978she's 20 something now. she started her climate activism when she was like 13 though back in the 2010s.
>>2725063Okay. She's 26 then , she still needs a break from jews. We all do.
>>2725073It's wierd that that this voting paradigm is pushed here, that everyone votes for everything that happens. That's clearly not the case, voting does nothing.
>>2724761>At least the rich people will die too.Only the petty bourgeoisie and labour aristocats at best
Maybe their data centres won't be able to take the heat, if we're lucky
>>2725076>voting paradigmI don't see any exhortation to voot, just adventure
>>2725079>Only the petty bourgeoisie and labour aristocats at bestdepends how bad climate change will be. If its super bad…..well those bunkers will just be fancy coffins.
(the bunkers cant last without modern supply chains)
>>2725082i'm pretty sure they can just create local production of some kind to fill up the deficits in a global supply chain, either way though i doubt them and their prioritized workers are gonna be the last men and women of earth
>>2725092>It's already happenedWow.
>i'm pretty sure they can just create local production of some kind to fill up the deficits in a global supply chain, either way though i doubt them and their prioritized workers are gonna be the last men and women of earth
Yeah but in a super bad scenario they wont be able to fulfill all. At most they will only be able to fulfill some, since a lot of resources arent located in one area. So they will be eventually fucked.
>either way though i doubt them and their prioritized workers are gonna be the last men and women of earth
Depends how bad it gets but yes thats a fair possibility
>>2725099
>Yeah but in a super bad scenario they wont be able to fulfil all. At most they will only be able to fufill some, since a lot of resources arent located in one area. So they will be eventually fucked.
well as long as they purchase a large supply of materials and implement a recycling system of some kind i think they could hold out for a while, at least until it's time to "return to the surface", though they would almost certainly be in a long term shortage until that happens, they'd basically have to build an underground city for this to be practical
>Depends how bad it gets but yes thats a fair possibility
i think a lot of the super-doomer perspectives on climate change imagine a worse case scenario for it, the realistic option is that oil power will inevitably be phased out since it's unreliable, expensive and useless (same with what happened to coal power for the most part) and you'll get other alternatives, reducing the damage of climate change, but at the same time it's already in now so you'll still see a lot of damage, just not apocalyptic damage
>>2725107>well as long as they purchase a large supply of materials and implement a recycling system of some kind i think they could hold out for a while, at least until it's time to "return to the surface", though they would almost certainly be in a long term shortage until that happens, they'd basically have to build an underground city for this to be practicalAlso once again this depends how bad it is. If its super bad then the time for earth to recover is gonna take a long ass time. Theres a decent argument to be made that it would be too long for any survival that way.
Also the rich and their workers might just end up killing each other, during that process…

Really? Well le icp better kill themselves then since le revolution is meaningless now.
rightoids complaining about the uk being like 1.5% African or whatever are gonna do their collective nuts when they witness the sheer magnitude of third-world migration caused by the water wars and this time they wont be able to blame 'the left'
>>2725161europe is going to go full fascist
>>2725161Why do you think that migration will take place? Machine guns are a thing and no one is shy to use them when needed. Don't get me wrong, capital loves desperate labor, but there is a point at which it's too much to be profitable. Any migration that happens today does because the government accepts it in modern times.
>>2724685I don't want to talk about it though…
>>2725179there is no escape
>>2725178so europe is going to go full mask off fascist?
grim times ahead
good thread
>>2724685sometimes i think it would probably just be better to kill myself before this all happens, i will probably die of plastic/covid cancer soon anyway and it is not like there will be much of a communist movement in my lifetime
Communism will be built from the debris as a scavenger society, industrial society is completely doomed.
>>2725238Covid was planned so normies would depend on the government more. Ecocide is a danger to humanity and is complete suicide
Reminder that nuclear power is largely a scam
>>2725178I know people shit their pants about that here all the time because muh europe should increase their population by 2x and explode because of their original sin or something,but what's those guys argument going to be for the MASSIVE Indian wave that will try going to china ? is it gonna be based when they stop them at the frontier too ?
>Microplastics found in 90% of prostate cancer tumors, at much higher levels than healthy tissues, study reveals
>tumors act as "biological sinks" that trap circulating particles. Although it might seem counterintuitive, tumors often have abnormal, leaky, and disorganized vasculature, which allows foreign particles to enter and accumulate, while their intense metabolism and inflammatory environment prevent clearance.
>>2725415It's almost like tumors are a biological reaction to a toxic environment!
Either way, its still awful, but at this point, microplastics are literally everywhere, in the water, food, animals, air and soil. At this point all we can do is minimize our intake and maximize excretion rate of the toxins
>>2725505>At this point all we can do is minimize our intake and maximize excretion rate of the toxinsWould require major transformations of society for this to even be possible.
once every cell in the human body is replaced with microplastic particles we will all get to live for a thousand years in a landfill
>>2725379Nuclear is ok but way too hyped up by online losers
>>2725573Honestly, electricity is kinda mid tbh fam
>>2725601coal is sussier no cap
i like nuclear im not a redditor or anything i just think its cool
>>2725374>Covid was planned so normies would depend on the government more. Ecocide is a danger to humanity and is complete suicideit's even stupider than that. covid was planned in fort detrick to stir up anti chinese hatred.
>>2725625so it is over for good this time?
>>2725625I propose barbarous communism then.
I haven't eaten meat in 6 years other then fish
how bad is my footprint
>>2725649Are you catching the fish with your bare hands?
>>2725652not him, but what does it matter? individual consumption habits are completely irrelevant. unless you change average consumption habits it's just symbolic.
>an ocean is made of dropsyeah and you have to change the average drop not the individual drop to change the ocean
>>2725682>It was joke, I was being hyperbolic. It really doesn't matter if one person out of a hundred is eating nothing but fish rather than beef.it's hard to tell. i've actually run into people IRL who unironically think that way. i had a liberal supervisor who drew a hybrid for that reason. he kept insisting individual choices is all we have and we can't make others do anything.
>>2725701>drew drove, sleep deprived
>>2725379>>2725408the first guy is right. It takes a long ass time to develop nuclear plants.
We could use that time to develop renewables instead.
>>2725625but what about primitive communism though
>>2725923>renewables instead.other renewables such as wind and solar
>>2725923Aren't solar panels made from oil derivatives?
>>2726063yes but we dont exactly have time to build a lot of nuclear power plants. It takes in general over 7 years to build and complete one.
we dont have that amount of time. (climate change is getting bad now) Meanwhile solar is booming, in terms of production.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/668764/annual-solar-module-manufacturing-globally/?srsltid=AfmBOoobyprIDLcMavAZ-WXltFiltgx5liah2OLDzYq5tDVwg5PYvMWl >>2726286What we looking at? Red traces are forecast extrapolations, multiple simulations from a climatological model called "System 5"? Explanation please
>>2726304Read the fucking text on the image you dumbass
>>2726306>assuming scientific literacy on leftychud.orgbold of you
>>2726304The graph forecasts a strong likelihood of a significant El Niño in 2026, with considerable uncertainty in its exact strength, as shown by the wide range of predicted SST anomalies.
>>2726068>It takes in general over 7 years to build and complete one.The fuck are you talking about? Small Modular Reactors take 3-4 years maximum, a full-blown VVER-1200 reactor takes 5 years, if construction isn't interrupted by something. The only reason the Turkish one is taking longer is because of political bullshit, which affects Solar Panels too.
Solar Power is massively inefficient because innovations that increase efficiency of power conversion have been ignored. Wind Mills have environmental impacts of their own, from being a bird hazard to causing vibrations in the earth that over time kill plants and drive away animals, not to mention the reliance on sun and wind means auxiliary (conventional) power is used on them, meaning that there's more gas and coal spent on this than is worth it. Solar and Wind power should be supplementary to nuclear power. Additionally; Hydrogen Cells and similar systems are a thing.
>We don't have that amount of timeWe didn't have that amount of time over 2 decades ago FFS. These things are already set into motion because of positive feedback loops, even if I snapped my fingers and a thousand nuclear power plants with the perfect excess of energy production appeared and integrated into societal infrastructure and simultaneously shut down every diesel or coal electricity plant the impact on the environment will not reverse itself for at least a few years, and temperature-wise it'll take decades.
>>2726306>>2726307I know what SST anomaly is midwit
I am asking about the methodology and provenance of the red traces
>>2726310iaea reports. If we look at iaea reports the average nuclear reactor takes 6-8 years to build.
Adding in licensing financing contracting and planning it takes 10-15 years to be fully operational
(i wasnt thinking about smrs though so thats something I need to check)
> simultaneously shut down every diesel or coal electricity plant the impact on the environment will not reverse itself for at least a few years, and temperature-wise it'll take decades.I was thinking about minimizing the damage instead of reversing it. We cant stop it but we can minimiize it. But how much we minimize depends on how much we can build alt energy sources quickly/
>>2726308if you really cared you would've typed that in the first place instead of using it as an opportunity for doing obvious stem chud self-aggrandizement like a redditor
>>2726323Rosatom built several in less than 5 years in various parts of Russia and large ones in 5 years.
>licensing financing contracting and planning part of which is just systemic inefficiency which technically can be smoothed out. Not to mention countries like Russia and China tend to have some flexibility and innovation in their nuclear work.
>minimizing the damage instead of reversing it. Anything can 'minimize' damage, but the intent is to reverse the damage. minimizing it is what the Paris Accords did and that was inefficient and ineffective. It's a systemic problem. Alternate forms of energy would be much faster if Big Oil wasn't meddling. The USSR, for all its oil usage, focused a lot on nuclear independency for it's cities, so more oil could be exported or spent on things that aren't fueling power-stations.
Furthermore on top of alternate energy what the planet needs is a comprehensive environmental restoration and cohabitation program like Stalin's Great Environmental Plan (see my Wiki article):
https://leftypedia.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Great_Plan_for_the_Transformation_of_Nature The immediate impact would be the lowering of global temperatures, reduction of global CO2 and increase of O2 (improving air quality) as well as keeping land fertile, reducing runoff, reducing the need for fertilizers, capturing moisture and so on.
>>2726442I will read these, I am intrigued.
>>2726323>>2726442>>2726455There is no “reversing the damage”. Anyone one who says otherwise is going to be an environmental story telling skeleton, guaranteed. Minimization and adaptation are your only options period.
>>2725923>>2726068The first guy is wrong and probably a hippie of some sorts. And if we don’t have that amount of time, we’re already dead.
Also,
>>2726310what this guy said:
>>2726476 (edited and reposted)
>. And if we don’t have that amount of time, we’re already deadafter checking smrs somewhat….
Then we are dead because smrs havent been produced in scale yet or even commercialized in most areas. They dont even exist in most areas
meanwhile average nuclear plant construction and eventual full operation takes 10-15 years, as seen in iaea reports. Even if there are some exceptions to this rule.
Solar is the main thing thats expirencing a boom in production. If this can not save us then we are dead. (check image)
>>2726442>Rosatom built several in less than 5 years in various parts of Russia and large ones in 5 years. This is a semi-myth. The nuclear power plants that rosatom built either took 8-12 years to make or were nuclear power plants that already had preexisting infrastructure or development already (pre existing soviet era development or etc). If you add up the preexisting infrastructure and development, then the "quickly built" nuclear power plant still took over 8 years to be built
>part of which is just systemic inefficiency which technically can be smoothed out. Not to mention countries like Russia and China tend to have some flexibility and innovation in their nuclear work. idealy yes but not always. And even then russia and china still take a while. The total average time to construct a nuclear power plant and make it fully operational in china is……10 years.
so is it over for communism since the world is ending? id like to at least live a full life that isn't cut short by dehydration
