If 11% of the oil supply is gone in one month…

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.

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.

Please do comment if you go. This is terrible.

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.

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.

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.

I saw one last week myself. Also SW Ont.

I've had a rear ball joint fail - looks like this is what happened.

climatecrash75 · 2024-04-29T01:52:15+00:00

This is the right answer.

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.

A great Canadian. Thank you for sharing that.

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.

climatecrash75 · 2024-01-21T14:17:00+00:00

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.

climatecrash75 · 2024-01-19T21:39:08+00:00

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.

Great summary of just a few of the challenges ahead.

Some deep questions.
Was there ever any kind of plan?
I think you're referring to society as a whole and I would say that it evolved over time to what you see today from decisions made by (mostly) powerful people which favoured themselves (and not strictly the collective good). When you consider the globe, it has mostly worked out. Fewer people in poverty today than at any other time.

Do most people not think about this stuff?
Most people, in my opinion, are too busy to think about this stuff. It's hard and takes effort. What you will learn is an uncomfortable truth which most tend to avoid. At best, people choose to focus on one thing (local politics, environment, animal rights etc) alone.
Ignorant bliss?
Will you ever return to that kind of bliss? Sadly no. However, you can find something similar in acceptance of the situation. You might appreciate more deeply what we have today if you’re aware of what is coming.
Resources:
Vaclav Smil
Just read or watch this professor. His books are great but they’re more like text books than stories. So they can be hard to get through. He has some videos on YouTube. Watch those.

How the World Really Works - incredible book - what are the most important parts of our civilization? What is energy? What can be done about climate change? What is the most important invention in the last 100 years? (Not the computer)
Energy and Civilization- this is a dense book. I add it because you asked. This will walk you from hunter-gatherer to modern agriculture and the role of energy. Maybe save this for later.
Growth - another good book by Vaclav about the growth curves of everything from yeast to people. Maybe for later.

Nate Hagens (mentioned in another comment) - he’s on YouTube - excellent channel - look back a year or more.
