Distractions from Earth's Destruction * 6
    #26183534 -

Climate change, global warming, such a hot topic right now. A polarizing one too, you either believe it or deny it with all your heart. Perfect for the news, drama = ratings. Super.

But why, WHY is global warming the only thing discussed when it comes to our affect on this planet? Whether you believe in greenhouse gases and rising temperatures or not, CAN ANYBODY LOGICALLY DENY THAT WE ARE POLLUTING OUR OCEANS, RIVERS, AIR AND SOIL???

No, they can't.

So who gives a flying fuck if global warming is real or not? We need to get our shit together regardless. Clean air and water are priceless. Money made from destroying those things is very temporary, and it only benefits a few people.

Fuck Mars. Do you build a new house every time you have a party, or do you simply clean it the fuck up the next day?

Get your shit together people.

I made a similar thread a little while back. Climate change is real whether man-made or not, and it will certainly be an accelerant to global and societal chaos and disorder in the near future.

Nuclear, both weaponized and used for energy, has the potential to end it all, or at least rearrange things basically beyond recognition. When we build a nuclear plant, do we really believe we are building something that will remain safe forever?

Pollution of the air and water is huge. As is overuse of water, over-farming of the land. We're stripping the earth of nutrients while filling it with toxins.

There's no perfect answer. We can forcibly remove the corporate and political bad actors that have caused much of the mess, but history suggests that will merely start a cycle of more of the same, or worse. We can change our own actions, but that is futile if the larger systems that led to these problems are not drastically reformed.

I personally don't fear it. The sun will be boiling the oceans of an uninhabitable earth in what's relatively the blink of an eye anyway. The human species is a finite one. Odd that evolution has led us to the ability for space travel, the only hope of continuing our species, although we'd need to go a hell of a lot further than Mars.

I do wonder if we all should feel the need to be super environmentalists, and spend our time crusading to try to save the planet. Or is that a waste of life, when we should be enjoying the time we have here, exploring what life still has to offer and sharing it all with those we love. I think if we could convince everyone to meet somewhere in the middle, we could keep this thing going a little bit longer.

Pollution in the USA was much much better prior to Trump, and better than 1970s and prior.  Not far from here a river caught on fire.  Great lakes brewery has a beer called burning river after this fire.

What is driving climate change is a form of pollution.  Then now Japan wants to dump radioactive water into the ocean.

I'll tell you what I'm not doing. I'm not growing thousands of acres of almonds that require pesticides that drift into neighboring communities and cause cancer and other lung diseases. I'm not buying entire rivers and diverting them into my canals for my monocrops. I'm not burning down the Amazon to grow soybeans or raise cattle. I'm not running a dairy and feeding my cows silage.

The current Ag industry is a joke. They claim it's the only way to feed the world, but the evidence shows otherwise. Most big farms lose money and live off government subsidies (ie welfare), and this is because they are spending all their money fighting problems that they create for themselves.

Know where your food comes from. Don't buy mass produced meats, soy products, palm oil, etc... This will have a much larger effect than people realize.

Life may be pointless regardless of external circumstances. There's no easy way out, and no guaranteed happy ending.

Meditation can certainly help in these times. Turn the mind into a pristine environment.

Isn't life kinda pointless in general? I mean...you live, then you just die. Hahah. I think the only reason things truly live is to procreate, which is something I struggle with. Everything in me wants to produce many, many babies but I also don't want any of those things to experience shit circumstances and pain and unlivable conditions the future might bring solely because I was out spittin my seed around.

The existential meaning(or lack there of) of life is not what I am discussing. There is nothing we can do about death. I just want to enjoy this physical world while I can. And just because we are all bent up about life being pointless doesnt mean we should take down every other species with us.

I wouldnt say deniers are trying to justify anything, and besides us plebs aren't even rubbing shoulders with the real evil that irrefutably does horrible ecological damage.
Some of my go to things are vehicles. I have 4; a 1972 chevy with a 350 2barrel, tuned for proformance, no cats or 02 sensors - I drive it about once a month.
A 96 honda gutted and lightened with no cat and no 02 sensors - fuel map defaults to RICH to compensate for lack of catalyst mapping - drive this car currently about 15 times a year (rally)
and two other hondas with perfect OBD2 systems.
Its a point of pride because in the 90's honda was making real leaps and bounds towords ULEV and in 1998 with the Honda F23A1
Quote:
The LX and EX engines produce less than 0.075 grams per mile, qualifying them for California LEV (Low-Emission Vehicle) status. In California, the Accord EX with the available automatic transmission will produce less than 0.03 grams per mile of NMOG, qualifying it as the first gasoline-powered vehicle to reach ULEV (Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle) status.



Ok, so the oceans are super fucked, I love fish, but I don't know where the fuck to turn, for my fav meat; farmed, or wild caught.
Beef is meh, there is better stuff, chicken is ok, turkey is better, pork is almost as bad as human meat in terms of how good it is for you.
All the slaughter houses for these places have putrid BLOOD LAKES pollutes the air and ground water.
The demand for soy in lieu of all the above meats and other foods is directly responsible for the destruction of billions of acres of forested lands (but don't worry about oxygen production, even grass can do that job)
We use all sorts of things wastefully, how many of you shit in a toilet by show of hands. .. . 3,4 . . . . 19 - right, just about all of us, might be a few of you freaky hippies use a composting toilet and a handfull might live in a country where squat toilets are prevelant, but for the most part every human on the earth shits and probably 90% of them shit in water.
WHAT THE RED FUCK!!! How dare we shit in water and claim that water is a finite valuable resource.
Bet you fuckers don't shit in your gasoline or diesel do you? And don't get me started on toilet paper; all of oregon is a giant toilet paper mill, almost every tree in oregon is owned by warehouser or georgia pacific. Buttwipe and paper bags (cause plastic pollutes our beautiful cities . . . . .  :urstupid: ) that and meth.

There is no fucking climate crisis, its a cash grab, I mean leaded gas was bad, even cars that DIDN'T use/need leaded gas, were pretty dirty, if you drive behind an older car (70's or 80's) it stinks, but they got better.
Ironicaly as engine proformance and economy/EPA improved, they made more and more cars and made them out of more aand more plastic - COMES FROM OIL! My moms 2000 ford focus has more plastic in it than a toystore.
The war on big oil is just as laughable as the war on drugs, play like your not lying to people like "lemme just put the tip in":nosekiss: :superthrust:
Batteries are cool and all, but the way we produce those batteries and the recycling programs for ANY EOSL (End Of Service Life think phones; hell I have a box of 10 years worth of old phones) item is deplorable, sure we took the lithium out of the earth, but at concentrations that weren't poisonous, a battery left on its own ruptures and leaks shit into the ground.

IDK, the more I think about it it all comes down to overpopulation, there's just too many people, and religious freedom allows people to continuously make fresh babies.
People can't die fair, the wealthy and powerful will do whatever it takes to survive even if it means exterminating the non-wealthy, there for its time for the aliens to come and slaughter the fuck out of us. some super flu like steven kings the stand, I love movies like the happening and the mist.

I don't think that global warming will cause any major problems. Coastal areas might be underwater, but those are mainly owned by ridiculously rich people who can afford to either build a sea wall or move and rebuild.

Even if Nevada was 25 degrees warmer than it is now, people would still live there just fine, they'd just have better AC. Look at people in the middle east, and they get by just fine with a tiny fraction of what we have here. Farming won't be affected either. It can be done at scale in doors even in some terrible worst case scenario that won't happen anyway.

And if we really care, we just can just pull the CO2 back out of the atmosphere again using massive machines purpose built for doing so. But we won't need to because nothing really bad will happen except some beach front property getting flooded.

The planet has been both warmer and colder than it is now and life did just fine.

What are you doing Ran-D to help the world?

I will go strict vegan for a while because I saw some stats about it which I agree with>>>>>



Judging from those stats I have helped out a FUCKING TON, hehehe!

But sometimes I eat non-vegan things, whenever I eat non-vegan things I feel bad though, like I am letting the world down.  I know, probably a stupid sentiment to have, but I want my brothers kiddo and several other kids I know who are very young to have a decent home to live on since we don't have a planet B now.  I recycle, my nike shoes are supposedly vegan which means no glues/dyes/etc from animals, I wear mostly synthetics and try my best to avoid wearing leather like on some of the jeans I have (levis tag).

Anyway, just eating vegan for a few days a week is helping save this place, you don't have to go all-in, but just consider doing it a few days a week if you want.

You at least have to buy into societal norms until you can save up and establish yourself separate from it which is what I plan to do. Otherwise join a community that is established and living sustainably, like in coastal mexico or some hippy thing somewhere. Yeah right.

Theres nothing we can do except separate ourselves entirely from it. Until then, you and I perpetuating the problem.

We should still be doing more to reduce our footprint. A lot more. It will be fine but that doesn't mean the ecosystem will remain sustainable. There are over 7 billion people on the planet and short of nearly perfected weather manipulation, which surely has its own footprint regardless, it can't stay fine forever. Sure maybe people can survive in desert states with extremely elevated temperatures but that doesn't meant everyone can. Grandma, your kids, poor doggo, everyone is fucked. As the temperature rises and salination increases, phytoplankton will be increasingly effected, the way water interacts with the continents will change. The sea floors will shift at increasing rates and as these many changes begin to surface it will increase things like volcanic activity, which is already effected by the electromagnetic reductions and increasing tectonic instability. The problem is not it being hot and if we can deal with that. It's how our ecosystem will react over time as we allow things to get worse. And I think it's the plan. It explains the underground bunkers and cities that do in fact exist. It explains why there are so many, and why they aren't doing anything about it. There's too much population for the next big steps in human evolution and it's easier if we let us kill ourselves while we fund their projects for the privileged .

The planet is getting warmer, and it is our fault. But what isn't our fault is the sun and the reduction of the magnetosphere. Grand minimum means less solar activity, less solar activity means it's not releasing energy in the same fashion, this a more even dispersal. A reduced magnetosphere means the planet is more susceptible to incoming cosmic particles and just overall energy/heat from the sun.  What I'm saying is, it's a shit time to be fucking up the planet, but us fucking up the planet might be the only thing keeping agriculture afoot. It's a crazy time to be alive

I think we are reaching our population limits with the way governing is done.  The way of life people want demands too many resources.  As well as war is always likely when Governments feel pressure.

The world has always had changes in temperature and climate.  We're simply influencing these changes uncontrollably.  Then Trump and other old farts see things in awfully dumb ways that make no real sense.  Sorry but God doesn't exist to control weather.  Try reading books that are not fiction.  Watch something other than propaganda.  Don't put all your hope in one philosophy, a weak one at that.

I think climate change is inevitable and we cannot reverse it. We can only try to be clean as possible.

They say this was the hottest summer in the Boston since 1882 or something. So that means it was just as hot in the 1800s?

We are OBVIOUSLY going through cycles here. We need to not focus on climate change and focus on population control until we can have no man or woman hungry or homeless.

The government and it's people will never be able to reverse any of this shit unless they ban poor stupid people from having more babies.

If a population grows beyond what can be sustained by available resources, the population declines. This will happen and is a natural proces.

To me its never really clear what the environmentalists actually want in the long run. What is the plan once the air and oceans are clean? Will there be a status quo enforced? Will there be a limit on the number of people allowed on this world?

What is the definition of proper earth maintenance? Getting cleaner and cleaner technologies so we can fit even more people? Are species allowed to go extinct on this clean and perfect world? Why should we have mass extinction events? Nature is not in balance, its a constant struggle for dominance, thats how resilient lifeforms come to be

Jesus christ people. Do we all lack reading comprehension in here?

Let's beat this dead horse one more time.

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT GLOBAL FUCKING WARMING. I AM SAYING THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS SOME STUPID ASS BULLSHIT DESIGNED TO DISTRACT PEOPLE FROM REAL POLLUTION.

Am I getting through to anyone?

I do not agree.  Global warming, climate change, is not a distraction.  It's caused by pollution. Not littering but gases.

Global warming is like an agent provocateur sent to ruin the reputation of environmental protest.

Or like the military turning Bradley Manning into a woman to make him look mentally unstable.

Seen?

I laffed hard at this.
Good work, I never thought of it like that.
While I agree that pollution is a real thing, I do feel like the skies are far less in danger than the water table.

Let me tell you a horror story.

The environment is full of plastic waste. Gigatonnes of plastic waste.

Im not going to invoke the image of a dolphin choking on a shopping bag here.

Its far, far, FAR worse than that.

You got gigatonnes of plastic which are mechanically wearing down into ever smaller pieces. Microplastics and nanoplastics.

These fine plastic dusts, in the water, in the air, will at first infiltrate organ systems, enter the body through the lungs or gills and clog arteries etc, but as the particles get finer they will even access the cells and start disrupting those.

Common plastic waste is grinding down to nanodusts more lethal than cyanide, and there are gigatonnes of the stuff out there in the environment.

The danger multiplies as time goes on.

THAT is a problem.

Normally I don't really have a problem with shit you say, asante, but I have to say thins one is REALLLYYYY reaching dude
I tell people that puffball mushrooms will fuck your lungs up, I think in reality its a little less grave than that, I just like to say shit to people to get a rise out of them.
There is all kinds of shit in the universe, we are adaptable, nature is adaptable, I've said other places we're not making nrew shit, were just changing shit to other kinds of shit. Even nuclear shit is really just natural.
Some nano plastic isn't gonna find its way into biological bodies and cause havoc no more than nano rock dust, nano tree dust or nano poop dust.
Number one threat is glass. Glass lasts incredibly long, will stay sharp for thousands of years and will make your ass bleed to death. eliminate plastic and thats what we're left with; fukn glass M8.
Earth be like to glass

:presidential: Correct I'll eat that dick with a smile on my face.
But here in the PNW where I and a few other key members are, you know that the soil here is 99.9999......% organic, That beer bottle that you lobbed off into the woods when you were a teenager partying with your friends around a bonfire up in the mountains and you heard it smash against a tree or a previously thrown bottle will be there for a very long time. The best to hope for is it will be covered over in 3 - 5 years by forrest floor sediment.

I got stuck in the Climate protest at The Hague today :facepalm:

As I tried to make my way though the crowds (with my kids in the cargo bike) I had a moment of clarity

As we are approaching a level of available technology where most manual labor jobs are becoming obsolete, so will a lot of people become obsolete. These are generally speaking people of the lower income range.

Climate fear will lead to increased tax regulations eventually resulting in childbirth tax. Once the poor can no longer afford to create offspring, the world population will be balanced within a few generations. Its actually quite brilliant :strokebeard:
