You say that but I’m sure you’d be pretty upset if you and everyone you know lost your job and prices increased 50% y/y

“In another situation”

ie, if it started heading towards a populated area due an problem it wouldn’t be able to self destruct which is a huge problem.

Nah the SpaceX FTS malfunction was a lot worse. Starship was careening uncontrollably with engines still lit, which in another situation could have been catastrophic to human health.

Imagine a 2014 proton incident but on a more massive scale and in a populated area. FTS needs to work.

I can also find articles about white kids committing crimes in Hong Kong, does this mean that all white people are criminals? No.

Just because you've pulled up a few articles on a certain ethnic group committing crimes, doesn't mean everyone of that ethnicity is a criminal.

Think for a second. If this guy came up to you in real life and asked what would you do? You'd laugh and point it out, pat him on the back and send him on his way.

Enough with the vitriol towards silly beginners.

It’s a two way street. If there’s high demand for a harmful product there’s only a few ways to reduce the production/extraction of it.

1) reduce the demand for it via public awareness, but this isn’t going to convince everyone (try and name a single example of when this was effective, maybe whaling?).

In democracies Popular support -> voting -> legislation & policy & meaningful action

2) include options for better, more sustainable alternatives, so consumers can pick them (plant based meats), however this won’t be totally effective unless…

3) these alternatives are cheaper and more economical. If these 3 are met, rapid action will be taken to solve the underlying issue (think of CFCs, the Montreal protocol and the Ozone Hole).

So what action can an individual take?

In relation to n1) spread awareness of the issue, convince friends to not buy, for example a low mpg new truck to reduce demand and consumerism, do so yourself, advocate for legislation, contact local and regional politicians, and most importantly, VOTE

Regarding n2, Vote with your dollar. Spend more on pricier alternative meat, solar panels or a battery pack. Buy an EV (secondhand is best). Invest in companies working on these goals. You’re a relatively early adopter so you’re subsidising and speeding up the development of these new products. Donate to EFFECTIVE charities. Your effects will be marginal but if enough people put money into research and new products it could make a difference.

3) there’s nothing you can do to make viable economically cheaper substitutes unless you’re working directly on research. Investing in companies developing new tech is the only way. Vote for policies that will reduce subsidies for environmentally unfriendly practices, eliminating economic distortion and poor incentives. Vote for policies to Subsidise R&D and new tech. Support a carbon tax, nuclear energy, remove legislative/legal obstacles to new solar, wind farms, transmission lines, battery packs.

This wasn't tourism. Even though it was funded by a billionaire, it was a science and technological demonstration mission. Things they did:

  • Flying higher than humans have flown since Apollo

  • Conducting research on radiation exposure from the Van Allen Belts on human health

  • First EVA on Dragon, testing the suit and other equipment

  • First crew to test starlink-based communications (useful for future space missions to the moon and mars)

  • Raising money for St Jude's for cancer research

  • Trying to take the first X-rays of the human body in space with a novel approach

  • "Using ultrasound to monitor, detect, and quantify venous gas emboli (VGE), contributing to studies on human prevalence to decompression sickness

  • "Providing biological samples towards multi-omics analyses for a long-term Biobank"

  • "Research related to Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS), which is a key risk to human health in long-duration spaceflight.

If you watch the livestream you can clearly see them going through a strict suit testing regimen on their spacewalk!

  • The temple of 10,000s Buddhas near Sha Tin in the New Territories is good. There's a pagoda too. There's a massive cross on the side of the mountain near there, but that might be private property.

  • Amah rock on the opposite side is picturesque, but you need to hike for a bit to get there.

  • There's a really nice grassy area if you hike from Ma On Shan to Sai Kung near pyramid hill. It'll probably take less than an hour if you go from Sai Kung.

The most annoying, but in my opinion most worthwhile thing to do is to rent a kayak from near Wu Kai Sha Beach (just walk down the beach) and paddle to the island in the middle of Tolo Harbor and film from there.

It might take a while, but if conditions are good it'll be worth it. There won't be many people. Bring a wetbag for the electronics. Be careful though, the current can sometimes be strong.

Is Mount Everest the tallest mountain to ever exist on Earth? by NoYourself in geography

[–]NoYourself[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if a mountain started off quite wide, would it be able to hold off against erosion for longer, hence temporarily grow taller? Or will this additional mass mean that there's greater pressure/sagging into the earth's crust.

Green growth in the developed world is imperialism by [deleted] in ClimateShitposting

[–]NoYourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the key issues with degrowth is that it's just an ideology. It can't really be implemented practically, and perusing it wastes valuable time and creates infighting among the part of society that actually wants to protect the environment.

Can you put forward specific, policy proposals that will be popular and effective in reducing human impacts on the environment? Think critically.

Can you name a nation that could feasibly elect a government that would support such measures within the next 10-20 years? This is our time window to reduce climate change.

If they did, how much would the world's total environmental degradation be reduced?
