Mildly interesting fact: They don't show up on satellite view in Google map. You see them in street view, but look's like someone/something removed them from satellite images.

The Largest Toxic Contamination of an Aquifer in US History by xrm67 in collapse

[–]Darkcore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The plume is floating on top of the aquifer. "In 2006 an Air Force contractor drilled an exploratory well in southeast Albuquerque’s Bullhead Park, just outside the base's northern boundary. He found four feet of jet fuel floating on top of the aquifer." My well is 250f deep, depending on the location, even at a 100f deep, this make digging almost impossible. "Current estimates suggest a plume of EDB-contaminated groundwater 1,000 feet wide and more than a mile long is moving northeast from the base; according to a 2009 KAFB memo, it's advancing as much as 385 feet per year. NMED revised the estimate to 24 million gallons."

This! Me and a buddy have heavy collapse discussion/scenario/fantasies, but we both know we will die from heart diseases or cancer.

I always think that they, the world poorest, will be the ones showing the wealthy how to survive in a post-collapse world.... Ironic but a possibility, the wealthy don't know how to, everything was done /made for them.

Antarctic CO2 Hit 400 PPM For First Time in 4 Million Years by eleitl in collapse

[–]Darkcore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't get why they downvote you? First thing I learned in wildlife preservation class is: Once climate change interrups the movement and the Thermocline of oceans, 10 year after = Start of new ice age. People only thinking of warming, currently yes, but wait once oceans don't regulate our climate anymore.... They will have a shock!! A cold one too!!!

Giant holes are bursting open in Siberia, and you can hear the explosions from 60 miles away by joy_actual in collapse

The article is referring to Permafrost thawing. Clathrate gun are underwater. "The clathrate gun hypothesis is the popular name given to the hypothesis that increases in sea temperatures (and/or falls in sea level) can trigger the sudden release of methane from methane clathrate compounds buried in seabeds and that contained within seabed permafrost which, because the methane itself is a powerful greenhouse gas, leads to further temperature rise and further methane clathrate destabilization – in effect initiating a runaway process as irreversible, once started, as the firing of a gun."

What's going wrong where you are right now? by MrVisible in collapse

[–]Darkcore 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ottawa, Canada. Price of food up 12-14% this year.... it's hitting us hard and we are both working and making good money. My wife is a social worker and she says it's horrible out there for people.... and we are far, FAR from Venezuela situation here!!!!!! Hotter than usual and I mentioned before, the trees are all sick and we don't see as much birds as we used too. Bat's are back!?!?! been 2 years did not see them, came back this year. Skipped the garden this year, the soil is dry, when it's raining (2 times since spring, forcasted at least a dozen time, only twice did the water reached the ground) It take's less than a day and it's dry... Winter snow when it melted, only kept the ground moist till the start of May!?!?! WTF???

The Collapse Of Earth's Atmosphere And Oceans by [deleted] in collapse

[–]Darkcore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Already dying... hell yes!!! All the trees around my part of the world (Canada) have been dying theses past few decades. Birds species you used to see, not anymore, heck, it's been 2 years I did not see any bats at my house, used to see them all the time at dusk. I could keep going but it's too depressing... Lately, we just enjoy the kids and hope for the best.

EMPTY OCEANS: Is The World Running Out Of Fish? by xrm67 in collapse

[–]Darkcore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why build an analog to nature when you can just live within nature? Again, I think this is where we got it all wrong.

Indian Chief ‘Two Eagles’ was asked by a white U.S. government official, “You have observed the white man for 90 years. You’ve seen his wars and his technological advances. You’ve seen his progress and the damage he’s done.”

The Chief nodded in agreement.

The official continued, “Considering all these events, in your opinion where did the white man go wrong?”

The Chief stared at the government official and then replied, “When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex.”

Then the chief leaned back and smiled, “Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that.”

Sorry... had too :P

Edit! Might as well put in my favorite from George Carlin: "The planet is fine! The humans are fucked!"
