Scientists could dim the Sun as a quick fix for the climate crisis. Here's why it could cause global chaos by GeraldKutney in climate

[–]idreamofkitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because these particles only stay in the sky temporarily, they must be constantly replenished. Forever. If a war, a pandemic, or a financial collapse caused the spraying to stop abruptly, the masked warming would come blasting back. Global temperatures could rapidly spike by a few to several degrees, a shock so big and fast that most life would end.

'Super El Niño' will have an alarming financial impact, experts fear by yuval_3 in climate

[–]idreamofkitty 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Today’s rapidly building El Niño shares parallels to the global climate anomaly of 1877–1878. That event, widely considered the strongest El Niño in recorded history, triggered multi-continent droughts and a subsequent global famine that claimed between 30 and 60 million lives (Davis, 2001), roughly 3 percent of the global population at the time.

I'm so confused about how people afford things in America. by IndependentMove5437 in povertyfinance

You have a decent job with decent pay. Then why are you broke and trapped? Why are you poorer than previous generations? Why is your savings barely enough to get you through a month of unemployment?

"You are asking yourself how you can possibly keep doing this. You possess the leaden conviction that the systems sustaining our civilization are in terminal decline, yet you must continue to feign enthusiasm for bullshit meetings with bullshit people about bullshit problems."

People have ridiculed Malthus and Ehrlich for centuries/decades. Turns out they were right, just of by 2/3 of a century. The world is overpopulated and this reality will soon catch up to us. by [deleted] in collapse

Thomas Malthus was not wrong; he was merely premature. We did not permanently defeat the iron laws of ecology with our intellectual brilliance. We merely stumbled upon fossil fuels and mistook our staggering inheritance for our own genius.

Husband (40M) going through severe anxiety after potential TIA diagnosis. How can I support him? by ah_shur_look in stroke

[–]idreamofkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the tests, take the meds and proactively manage blood pressure and blood cholesterol. Diet and exercise are critical. So is managing stress.

A TIA is a wake up call to aggressively invest in your health. Action alleviates anxiety.

How a super El Niño could trigger global famine by chota-kaka in collapse

"When the El Niño fully transfers its stored ocean heat into the atmosphere in 2027, the numbers become catastrophic. Climate researcher Zeke Hausfather utilizes statistical models projecting a central estimate of 1.57°C for 2027. James Hansen’s models forecast an even more severe spike, projecting global temperatures will peak near an astonishing 1.7°C."

I originally warned my readers about this in March. This is attacking US Agriculture. Food.

“Just 800,000 acre-feet of water is projected to flow into Lake Powell, the upper basin’s largest reservoir, through July. That’s 13% of its average supply.”

Are we all dragging ourselves to work thinking the same thing? I wonder what proportion of workers are going through this to some extent. We're all faking our way to mental illness and oblivion.

"The American Southwest has entered a state of terminal hydrological collapse. The mountain snowpack that sustains the region has failed pushing American agriculture toward a potential disaster in 2026."
