TL;DR for embedded play: Yellow = Carbon Dioxide concentrations, Green = Vegetation.

2019-03-15 20:25:20 UTC  

Nice

2019-03-15 20:26:42 UTC  

I've read once that Siberian taiga forests actually produce more oxygen than Amazon forest and it's them who should be called the "lungs of the Earth", but no one ever talks about them

2019-03-15 20:27:40 UTC  

Well, maybe at peak volume

2019-03-15 20:27:55 UTC  

but the reason that the south american forests are the lungs of the earth is that they are year round

2019-03-15 20:29:16 UTC  

Probably
Taiga is pretty huge though, so I'm not sure if they wouldn't be about equal yearwise even though taiga has shorter vegetation time

2019-03-15 20:29:22 UTC  

If you look at the video posted, the land mass only has comparable density in vegetation for like 4-5 months

2019-03-15 20:29:25 UTC  

I'd have to check that

2019-03-15 20:30:24 UTC  

Anyway, that map shows well why should start massive reforestation soon

2019-03-17 06:22:15 UTC  

@ᚱᛟᛟᛏ people out here want to make the power companies pay for all the damages, yet get super pissed when they shut down power going out to people in forested areas for weeks at a time because of the risk

2019-03-17 06:22:32 UTC  

So many fires here are from power lines

2019-03-17 06:37:50 UTC  

Surprised more people dont use solar out there

2019-03-17 06:38:12 UTC  

Evem off gridders in Alaska use solar

2019-03-17 06:40:50 UTC  

There's no forests that qualify as off grid down in this part of CA

2019-03-17 06:41:08 UTC  

they're all boomers who want the power to fuel their yuppie lifestyle but then want to also blame the power companies for when their trees burn down

I'm not sure how many people here like to play video games to get some respite from the insanity of the world

2019-03-20 20:42:15 UTC  

but it looks like in the future even that will be shit

2019-03-20 20:42:45 UTC  

How it will probably look:

2019-03-20 20:43:18 UTC  

as the game will be in some centrals erver location/cloud/whatever, the company will have total control over the game

2019-03-20 20:43:23 UTC  

no modding

2019-03-20 20:43:28 UTC  

no piracy

2019-03-20 20:43:34 UTC  

total surveillance of the user that cannot be avoided

2019-03-20 20:45:35 UTC  

parts of the game can be quickly censored or adjusted at any time (and without any ability to circumvent the censorship)

2019-03-20 20:46:07 UTC  

games can be taken down immediatly at any time out of nowhere

2019-03-20 20:47:47 UTC  

And it would be likely that you might end up to have to pay a constant subscription fee as long as you play the game, similar to what is already happening to most 3d graphics programs

2019-03-20 21:06:03 UTC  

Not sure if that would even get popular

2019-03-20 21:09:10 UTC  

@ᚱᛟᛟᛏ it doesn't have to be popular

2019-03-20 21:09:18 UTC  

Google has the money to incentivize console exclusives

2019-03-20 21:09:30 UTC  

It'll start from the ground up with indie titles who can't afford to not go Google
