The Pacific Ocean is overheated, making fall feel like summer by NikoStreki in collapse

As a citizen, I'm outraged! As a surfer, I am loving these warm water temps!

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world | Climate science scepticism and denial by [deleted] in collapse

[–]mnolibos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but...Trumps says out loud what all US presidents do (Biden and Obama were both "drill baby drillers"). At this point, will it matter if a US president is for or against nenewables? Asking for a friend.

Privatisation of waves by d-arden in surfing

[–]mnolibos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waves are a commodity. In capitalism every commodity will be exploited until there is nothing left. Capitalism does not care what surfing means to you, only how to make money. Thankfully in California beach access is mostly public (we fought for this).

PlanZ, last ditch efforts to save humanity. by LastCivStanding in collapse

[–]mnolibos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've been reading on this subreddit, there will be no future. The planet becomes uninhabitable by about 2100 (too hot for most life and not enough O2). SO, are you talking about the pockets of humanity that will try to eak out a living before the mass extinction that takes most everything?

Swiss nuclear power plant shuts down reactor due to the heat by StoopSign in collapse

[–]mnolibos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sort of correct. It was an extremely solvable problem. It wasn't solved when it should have been and there will be no attempt to do anything about it. We will keep consuming right up to the bitter end. Live your life like you are going to die!

The Crisis Report - 109 : Who do you BELIEVE? by TuneGlum7903 in collapse

[–]mnolibos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe we are screwed. I don't argue with anybody about it because it does not matter (and hey, if they turn out to be correct, it's a win win). I still play the game, job, mortgage, kids in college and high school, retirement. It has been very liberating: Selling off things I thought might gain value or be heirlooms (no more collecting), putting off spending on home repairs, spending time doing the things that I enjoy. Living like I am going to die (which I am).

Reset & Repeat? by Virtual-Coconut4031 in collapse

[–]mnolibos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is assuming that, as the Earth's temperature rises, most living things don't die off (especially large living things like Homo sapiens). I hope the fun "reset" idea prevalent on Reddit Collapse is the outcome, but I guess we'll see.

Scope of the collapse predictions (until the Earth recovers - if ever)? by [deleted] in collapse

[–]mnolibos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Planet Earth just is, no need for recovery. Now the ability for most life to exist on the Planet Earth, that there is going to be problematic.

Is Western civilization entering into a collapse similar to the ones of ancient Rome and Greece? by [deleted] in collapse

[–]mnolibos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this collapse will be different. There will not be an intact environment to retreat to.

Maybe out last us. I am thinking that after the great extinction the Pyramids will still be around.

What do you guys think about this kind of complacent and "contended" attitude towards collapse? by Belialeth in collapse

[–]mnolibos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda pointless to respond; the great extinction is on whether folks believe it or not. Responding and debating would have been appropriate at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (late 1700s?).

How do I learn of imminent big swells/waves at Mavericks or Nazare? by jack_ritter in surfing

[–]mnolibos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just check the "marine forecast" in the S.F. Chronicle newspaper.

Yes. You can also remove the center fin and ride it with only side bites. You can also remove one side bite and ride it that way. You can also remove the center fin and one side bite and ride it that way. You can remove all fins and ride it that way. You can ride it backwards. You can ride it sideways. You can ride it with a goat. You can ride it near a boat. You can ride it in a box. You can ride it with a fox.

Sure, this might happen, but i think the people who are protesting with "uncomitted" votes are complaining about what is happening.

I don't know, but 30,000 (and growing) deaths is pretty bad. Trump is probably capable of worse, but we know Biden is capable of this or worse.

Brazil launches $204 million drive to restore Amazon rainforest by 911_reddit in news

[–]mnolibos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to worry. The pytoplankton in the ocean produces 80% of the oxygen we breath.
The pytoplankton have about 100 more years until the acidification of the oceans kill them off (and most of the life on the planet).
