In another case of "the left can't meme," I bring you this, something that I assume was made with the intent of mocking Republican Congressmen, but is actually pretty cool. https://www.amazon.com/White-Walkers-Senators-2019-Calendar/dp/B07JJTWTF4
You know those guys you *hate*? Now you can be constantly reminded of them by hanging their faces on your wall!
Exactly. I've never much cared for the 'living rent free in their head' line too much, but after seeing so many unironic demonstrations that it's true, I'm coming around.
Can we make a calendar where Cory Booker is one of the Black Men from LOTR? I feel like that wouldn't go over so well for some reason
That's just rude, Cory Booker is Spartacus.
Oh no
And?
@C1PHER
¿And?
Should happen if she goes to Britain too
was it her or the other one that actually made suicide vests?
My response to that headline is that I love a happy ending.
Sorry, I forgot my sarcasm indicator when I posted "oh no"
Well there is no hope now https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4888574/1-20-chance-climate-change-wipe-humanity.html
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve seen on climate change
The world literally won’t end.
this is our WW2
No. Ugh. This particular issue bothers me a lot. I think climate change as an issue will be a tipping point for leftist violence.
It’s not.
they want a strike may 24th
Really? Why that day in particular?
I don't know about that. I think most people don't actually care about the environment nearly as much as they let on, even leftists.
What’s so stupid is that the money spent on these nonsense protests could actually go to addressing the issue.
well I find it funny that the UK declared a climate emergency and then decided to expand the airport
Transportation will be the most difficult sector to electrify
I start to get concerned once they start calling Earth Gaia
That's how I know it's anime my dude
"Now think about our impact if we could mobilise all sectors of the economy?"
Yeah, you can really piss people off and make sure they don't want to do what you say
If the world really is going to end in the next 100 years due to greenhouse gasses, why isn't the focus more on recycling CO2 in the atmosphere through natural and artificial means?
I mean we can't go carbon free in the next 50 to a hundred years realistically, but we sure as hell can offset the carbon.
*"why isn't the focus more on recycling CO2 in the atmosphere through natural and artificial means?"*
cuz then it raises the question of what to do/what happens with that captured carbon.
Trees and plankton will capture it naturally, but when they die/decompose, they release it back in to the environment.
Alkaline hydroxides will capture it but when that decomposes with heat, it releases it back out too.
If you could then convert it to say, a form of energy that was cheap and clean, without using fossil fuels on a large enough scale, then you would have energy companies clamoring for it.
It is possible to make a plastic out of it, but it takes a butt-load of energy to do it and you are still left with a waste product that can release that carbon at it's end of life. Trees are actually more efficient at making construction products than the process of turning carbon in to a cellulose-based plastic with PV energy
There's a place in BC that is looking at capturing carbon and then turning it into fuel actually
If their capture method is as scalable as they think it is
what is the emissions/waste product of that fuel?
Gosh... if the global temperature does rise, they are talking about average temperature. For example it will not mean that you are going from highs of 110 to 119, rather the your winter temperature will probably rise from 10 to 23.
We survived Krakatoa which resulted in three years of no summer back in the 1800s, we have better resources today.
A warmer earth is a more humid earth, which means more the world will be able to harbor plant life, plants will grow faster because of the higher Co2 and absorb more of it in the process, and deserts are going to shrink provided humans don't do destructive land practices. This equates to more cropland/grazing land.
99% of people will survive even the worst global warming, we may have to move to higher elevations, but locations closer to the poles will become more livable too.
This talking about global warming as some sort of apocalypse is so bunk.
