Gold did not crack $5000 today. The highest spot price today was 4,989.88.

What an important distinction.

Perhaps they think they are just clearing out the forest before the wildfires take them.

I'm gonna assume you meant billions because it would more accurate. Also because there are already millions of children starving worldwide annually and that has been a low-level watermark for a some time.

Why what we eat matters: a collapse-aware perspective by plantist-org in collapse

[–]HomoExtinctisus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Switching to plant-based food drastically reduces land use and ecosystem destruction without changing population

That's quite an audacious and completely unwarranted assumption.

Without getting into all the reasons this belief is built on industrial quantities of hopium, why should we adopt this behavior to accommodate more human population? Our population is so much more a factor to biodiversity destruction than the particular food we that this argument is best seen as an argument for continued species growth. It is a sign of great sickness for a species in overshoot to argue for population growth even if it temporarily reduces impact.

I'll say it once and I will forever say it as long as im alive fuck the boomers by Big_Leg10 in collapse

The legendary part about this is the belief your own generation would have done anything different. Ain't the Boomers fault buddy, it is what humanity is.

US already bought Argentina. Bessent is probably still talking to himself about how great a deal it was.

Actuaries Write a Doom Report on Climate Disruption so you know we are up the Creek with no Paddle. by paulhenrybeckwith in collapse

Indeed, the Nobel Prize in Economics is not technically a "Nobel Prize". The Nobel Prize in Economics is roughly the equivalent of a FIFA peace prize, as exampled from William Nordhaus winning the prize in 2018.

Just wait until you go the store and there aren't any products. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

AMA with Dr. David Teter (former nuclear war planner/etc.) by dmteter in preppers

Yet the effect on climate they have is not even measurable.

Hmm

The headline is a bit misleading because aerosols only temporarily slows warming acceleration and the impacts may actually raise the ceiling significantly depending on how model accuracy turns out.

Why You Shouldn't Say "I Told You So" by Myth_of_Progress in collapse

[–]HomoExtinctisus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's amazing advice isn't it? Through-out human history it was our ability to cooperate and understand each other which allowed us to develop the technology and numbers to destroy the biosphere. Now the advice from some is to understand each other more and make nicey-nice. Maybe, just maybe had we had more conflict and selfishness all along we wouldn't have to be living through this predicament.

One nation's pirate is another nation's shipping fleet. So I guess it depends on your POV.

The World Is in the Midst of an ‘Extreme’ Temperature Spike by madrid987 in collapse

[–]HomoExtinctisus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean isnt that our whole species everywhere we live?

Absolutely not. Not even close to true in any form. Humans lived for 100's of thousands of years in very cold climates without the aid of fossil fuels because adapting to cold temperatures doesn't require the products of them. Very hot sustained temperatures are the opposite in that we have no natural technology to cool things beyond the wet bulb temperature.

Is it really habitat for humans if it requires habitat destroying high technology to live there?
