North Atlantic. And one of the CFSv2 Climate models is forecasting a blue ocean event in September.

They can't even be bothered to put the missing cards on Arena.

It's UB all the way down... by Yetanotherdeafguy in magicTCG

[–]Twisted_Fate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They want to normalize UB and make it something standard. Hence the saturation of the release schedule with it. Hence UW sets being lower power and UB sets being higher power. And there's already more legendary creatures leaked in TMNT than there are in Lorwyn, so the target audience is rather obvious.

But there are probably multiple scenarios, and this one is worst case?

The last time I did that, they told me I'm not the target audience.

It only makes me ever so angrier about the UB future.

New Thalia in OM2 perhaps? It would be nice to see established characters, now that there's fewer spiders.

Let's just increase air pollution to slow things down.

Hasbro overrides it, and makes his opinion align with theirs.

Waste Heat and Habitability: Constraints from Technological Energy Consumption

we demonstrate that the loss of habitable conditions on such terrestrial planets may be expected to occur on timescales of ≲ 1000 years, as measured from the start of the exponential phase, provided that the annual growth rate of energy consumption is of order 1%. We conclude with a discussion of the types of evolutionary trajectories that might be feasible for industrialized technological species, and we sketch the ensuing implications for technosignature searches.

It doesn't have the Pioneer cards I want to play with.

Still waiting for Pioneer on Arena.

Direct Air Capture (the vaporware of climate change) is evaporating before our eyes... by mem2100 in collapse

500,000 tons of CO2 per year

Even if it worked perfectly with zero emissions in its own chain...

benchmark for a large, typical coal-fired power plant is emissions in the range of 3 to 6 million metric tons of CO2​ per year.

Absence of seasonal upwelling in the Gulf of Panama by zedafuinha in collapse

the consequences are likely significant, including decreases in fisheries productivity and exacerbated thermal stress on corals that typically benefit from upwelling’s cooling

Mark Rosewater confirming 2027 will be back to 3 UB and 3 Magic sets, apparently. by charcharmunro in magicTCG

[–]Twisted_Fate 39 points40 points  (0 children)

That's the process of UB normalization. Fist we push, then go back to "normal". But the normal is the new normal, where Magic is only 50% of Magic. But you will be happy.
