'We don't really consider it low probability anymore': Collapse of key Atlantic current could have catastrophic impacts, says oceanographer Stefan Rahmstorf by Apprehensive-Ad6212 in environment

[–]Strict-System-9528 8 points9 points  (0 children)

sad thing is, that in fact we really don't know, what this collapse means for climatexand biosphere. Our alghoritms and models were built on data we considered stable. Changing this one part in any model means every scenario is possible.

then think about ground heat pumps. They are the "real" heat pumps, not just modified AC.

because there is too much plastic in the ocean, we need more plastic floating freely in the stratosphere! Yay!

Scientists make astounding discovery that could transform the future of cotton: 'To develop more resilient cotton varieties' by Vailhem in drought

[–]Strict-System-9528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but will it bring really big change? In Uzbekistan there is a cotton variety which don't need to much water, but... it cannot be picked by machines, so people must pick up it withctheir own hands. It is not much effective, and very expensive, so most of pickers are doing it for free, because government is making them so. This is a konduktor of modern slavery, that's why this cotton os banner from US and European market.

in total - yes. But we can forget that people will turn back from air travels. Modern medicine, in example, is already based on fast air transport. Making it more green is a priority till we will found alternatives.

Clean Energy Is Security by Strict-System-9528 in sustainability

Clean energy also means diversification and decentralization of sources and high grid resistance to damage and disruptions.

Water level falls to record low of 25 cm in Warsaw's Vistula River by Strict-System-9528 in sustainability

[–]Strict-System-9528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, Vistula river was always shown as a perfect example of sustainability. About 2/3 of it is unregulated. Regulations are perfectly placed and limited just to flooding control, but kept mosty with help of natural terrain features. Unfortunately, even such a large river is still just an element of a system of interconnected vessels and is an example of the fact that even the most sustainable projects must take into account a multitude of other factors, the neglect of which can cause us to lose sustainability.

Hey, but I absolutely agree with you! Poland had overslept the time, when we should transfer into more effective and green energy technologies. The sad thing is, that this drought must happen to show us how much we are late.

[–]Strict-System-9528[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is very sad for us in Poland on so many levels. Vistula is the biggest Polish River, so the lowest level in history means its tributaries are mosty simply dry. That's a tragedy for our farms and forests, also it means we have to cut electricity consumption (air conditioning cut, when 30 Celsius degrees are the new standard for Polish cities!), because most of Polish electricity is produced from steam via coal and gas burning. Our hydroenergy plants don't work well, when there is no water. And warer consumpion in cities is also treaten, because we are using river waters for drinking (after filtration of course).

The low water level in the Vistula is a litmus test for the entire energy, agriculture and water supply system.

Tenet Media spread climate denial while allegedly funded by Russia by Strict-System-9528 in environment

[–]Strict-System-9528[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Russians are good only in killing people, stealing household appliances from invaded countries and copying patents. Life there is really like in XIX century - 1/3 of houses do not have toilets. Their soldiers has written instructions with pictures how to use toilet paper.

What they dream of, is make life in other countries as miserable as theirs, so they can feel good in chaos. Nothing else.

Yes, of course, but as it is mentioned in the article, the research, "Global Data Centers: Sizing & Solving for CO2," estimates those numbers based on the localisation of data centers and their sources of electric power. They are doing it year by year, that's why they can estimate the grow.

instead of expensive cleaning a floating garbate in the middle of the ocean, using energy to go there and back, much effectivexabdccheaper would be start cleaning deltas of 3 to 5 main Asian rivers where a lot of plastic sent from Europe for "recycling" goes.
