And the feedback loop begins. This will make more permafrost melt, leading to more released methane, leading to even more melted permafrost, etc, etc, etc. Fuck everything, but especially the deniers and oil lobbyists. Hell is literally coming for them.

Methane is relevant on the year-decade scales because it oxidizes to CO2 over time. In the short-term it's a 80-fold stronger GHG than CO2.

year-decade
all of the predictions on climate change taking centuries are all massive underestimates

probability is that you'll still be alive and well for the collapse of techno-industrial human civilization in the 2030-2050 period

checked, and its not going to be that quick anon. We’ll see the beginning of the end at the turn of the century if we all don’t die from genetic diseases, cancer and heart failure from the obesogenic and carciongenic environments we have built for ourselves.

climate change isn't the only thing to worry about
it's just a factor in over-consumption of resources and the root problem of too many people. The next decade is going to be noted by a big decrease in QoL in the 'western' world due to said problems

We'll probably go nuclear though sooner rather than later

Im not trying to diss Nuclear power, just saying that the power method that requires only sunlight has the most potential and it could be the main energy source if we cant get nuclear fuel for the entire world, especially since solar power efficiency has increased

[Anonymous No.10093495]

>>10093479
the brutal thing is that we could easily generate liquid fuel from agriculture with plenty left over meat/grain production (which would produce no ghg) if our population wasn't 8 fucking billion. no need for nuclear. no need for fossil fuels. humanity fucked up...

[Anonymous No.10093508]

>>10093479
solar is completely worthless greater than 50% of the time and pollutes the everloving fuck out of everything when manufactured
There's more than enough uranium and thorium fuel to power the world at current usage for tens of thousands of years
Do you not actually know anything about nuclear power? it seems like you don't

[Anonymous No.10093519]

Concentrated solar will still probably run laps around photovoltaics in terms of efficiency and cost effectiveness

all the technological advancements you blissfully enjoy are the direct product of that large population
The more people there are, the more intelligent people there are to become specialists
with more specialists comes more researchers and inventors
were we to kill off most of the human population like you want, technological progress would likely stagnate completely
if, of course, society didn't collapse due to a lack of all the people needed to maintain everything

>all the technological advancements you blissfully enjoy are the direct product of that large population
most of major technological and scientific advancement happened before wwII, when the population was just a few billion or less than a billion
>were we to kill off most of the human population like you want,
nice nasty little insinuation combined with smug virtue signaling
> technological progress would likely stagnate completely
bullshit. technology is largely stagnating anyway due to physical limits on mechanical efficiency. humanity is never going to colonize the galaxy you fucking moron.

[Anonymous No.10093546]

>>10093508
well it cant be that worthless, 6 percent of the world used it for energy last year, but it is not that powerful yet. and i dont think the manufacturing process of solar panels caused that huge of an impact on the world as oilfags and coal. I think for now we should use nuclear power until solar technology is much better.

[Anonymous No.10093553]

>>10093546
ground based solar panels, by their very nature, cannot function at night or when there is cloud cover
the only way solar will ever be truly useful is if they are built in space and power is beamed down

>>10093522
more population does not equate to more technology because the higher the population, the more people are forced to compete for resources, devoting more of their time and energy to beating others to survive rather than to inventing new technology.

but you're an economist devotee religious whacko. you actually believe that cutthroat competition and gluttonous consumerism is good for people. you people are literally the toxic cancer that is destroying the planet. fuck you.

because all the farm land that could be used to produce ethanol for vehicles is instead being used to produce food for people.

>low population = no competition for resources

[Anonymous No.10093592]

>>10093583
low population = less competition for resources
high population = more competition for resources

additionally, more population = faster consumption of non-renewable resources

its not complicated, unless of course you're a fucking moron

[Anonymous No.10093606]

>>10093575
Isn't algae thermal liquefaction more cost effective than grain ethanol for biofuel production? Also could be ocean-based, so as to not interfere with food production, and could use existing refinery infrastructure and car ICEs unlike pure ethanol.

its going to be ironic how your fixation with population growth actually causes another dark ages, with stone age level technology and barbarism everywhere. won't that be tragic. humans forget how to make all of their beloved technology due to shear hubris.

Methane is responsible for the greatest extinction on Earth and there's large amount of methane trapped in the ice and due to climate change that methane is escaping or will be soon.
Am I understanding the articles correctly?

[Anonymous No.10093626]

>>10093572
no shit sherlock. its for storing the energy from the panels and putting them into batteries, Since you said that they are only useful with power beamed down in space.we are at the point where you can live in a house that can be powered by only 6 medium sized solar panels, (or the tesla solar panel,but it is not released yet) and the power from the solar panel goes to your electric panel then to your house, but excess energy not being used goes to the battery, and when the lights go out, the extra energy that was put in the battery powers the house until sunrise.

[Anonymous No.10093713]

>>10093575
Are we out of land??? Lol, dude. If we wanted to farm ethanol, we could. Lots of it. But it's not profitable. If it actually creates clean energy, we should subsidize that cost. I'd move out to the country and farm myself if there was good money to be made.
