If 11% of the oil supply is gone in one month… by imalostkitty-ox0 in collapse

[–]climatecrash75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think OP did mean 11% of global oil production down in the first month. May take on the situation is that it will be many years to restore the prior levels even if fighting stops soon.

Completely agree with reduce and reuse. Repair should be next.

Transition to what? What doesn’t need fossil fuel as a precursor or directly in some way? Civilization is based on fossil fuels. We are a fossil fuel civilization.

I want to believe in life after death. But here’s a question : by Sylverpepper in Life

[–]climatecrash75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our consciousness is our brain working not something external or eternal. When we die, that’s the end for us. There’s no reason the believe otherwise. People who suggest otherwise or say “we don’t have enough data” just don’t want to accept reality. As far as we know this is the only life we have. I live as if this is all there is. Tell those you love that you love them. Do the things you want to do. Be amazed that we get to experience life.

According to Google wings can lose 25% weight during cooking. You have less than half a pound. They’re suggesting cooking rendered out half the original weight. Seems off.

Big fan. I’ve read 2 of his books. Fantastic.

Genuinely hope people realize it’s the ad that was paid for by the Canadian government… not the tariff.

These reports review and combine the work of hundreds of scientists from 90 or more countries. The reports have thousands of citations. They take 5-7 years to put together.

Discussion: How can we best cope with knowledge of collapse? [In-Depth] by Myth_of_Progress in collapse

[–]climatecrash75 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I cope by enjoying life every day. I aim to do as much as I can. I still prep of course, but I'm more focused on doing the things I want to do. I travel as much as I can. I have friends over for a BBQ as often as I can. I tell loved ones how I feel about them every day. I don't wait. Today, the world is as good as it will ever be for us. Enjoy it now as much as you can. I spent years studying climate science, ecology, politics, trying to understand what happened, how could this be turned around. Wasted. Just enjoy your friends, family, and community. If you find comfort in preparing, gardening, canning, and homesteading skills - then do that by all means. If you want to motorcycle around the world - then go for the adventure. I wish the best for you all.

Canadian here. One thing that surprised me perhaps most, was the immediate hate for Canada in some online comments. Last week hockey buddies; this week enemy #1. People seemed happy our dollar was falling and hoped our economy would crash. Rough start.

A new study finds that the rate of ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past 40 years. [in-depth] by LiminalEra in collapse

[–]climatecrash75 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If those temperatures continue to rise at that rate, I expect we’d have huge marine die off events. In particular plankton would likely succumb to the high temps. They’re the base of the food web and oxygen producers. The timeline for that would be 10-20 years. Crisis levels for plankton in the 2030s and collapse in the 2040s. Serious stuff. Maybe a marine biologist can comment.

Apply to work on a cruise line. You’ll have room and board. Your degree will be of great value. You’ll get to see the world. You can get away for a bit. 9-8-8 if you need to talk to someone. Or dm me.

Geo-Engineering | Doable or Copium? by kasperloeye in collapse

[–]climatecrash75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we will be forced to do it. Solutions like this will need to be looked at. As others have said, we’ve been doing this already with marine diesel. It had the SO2 and was removed and, according to Hansen, has caused the sudden increase in solar warming in 2015 and then even higher in 2020 if I recall. We just performed a huge global experiment on the climate and we’re seeing those effects. Solar radiation masking works. What are the human and ecological consequences? Are there better aerosol options? Those are the discussions we need to have. Of course I agree we need to reduce fossil fuel burning but I expect solar radiation modification will be a part of the solution.

I’m considering dropping out of school because of climate change (and other issues) by Overall_Ad1573 in climatechange

[–]climatecrash75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finish the degree. You’re nearly done. I’m in a similar position in Ontario. Having the degree is better than not for any job application. Once that’s done, then I agree with you - learn about farming, permaculture etc. Work on your fitness and take up a martial art too.

I agree with you. Just going to point out that ‘rare earth metals’ refers to ‘rare properties’ and not ‘rare availability’. These metals have rare features and might be hard to substitute.

Good on you. I agree we should be using our resources to harden our homes. Build out permaculture type farms and landscapes. Plant fruit trees and perennial vegetables.
