During the pandemic, global co2 emissions increased despite a significant decrease in global manmade C02 production. I have yet to see a single explanation hypothetical or otherwise to offer a credible explanation to this. Nasa's reasoning was simply to say' oh the oceans must have stopped absorbing as much C02 for some reason that year' without explaining why.

Also why do the various invested interests push for solutions that involve forced economies such as renewables that damage the environment and are unreliable like wind and solar power inplace of nuclear?

Nuclear power plants are too tempting of a terror target. It's unwise to rely on something that produces radioactive byproducts unless it is so deep underground that it would be secure from earthquakes weather events and any weapons including missiles.


Then some guy said terror is fake and it's the government to which I responded that that only proves the importance of making even more secure facilities and that it's not hard just they need to be underground and earthquake proof because the government that likes to create terror events can make earthquakes and use missiles and blame it on whatever they want to.

The solution is easy, it's getting the solution implemented that's hard. First, we need to decarbonize, which means switching from fossil fuels to renewables and nuclear. Next we'll need to reduce or eliminate the emission of other greenhouse gasses suck as refrigerants, methane, and nitrous oxide. Finally, atmospheric carbon dioxide will need to be reduced, which may possibly be accomplished by the environment after decarbonization. The option I think is most attractive is production and incorporation of biochar into soils.

>> No.15582004

The actual solution is to decentralize the economy by redistributing land from the jews who just hold all the empty space in their withered claws until some other jew wants to develop it to people who will farm on it, introducing stiff trade tariffs to protect local small production and eliminate the majority of long distance and overseas shipping. Cutting down on container shipping will reduce the single most ridiculous source of emissions and pollution(which is a word all the """""environmentalists""""" seem to have forgotten now that most their meme green solutions are made of the most toxic, unrecyclable shit imaginable), and small, widely distributed and mostly self-sufficient low density communities have many advantages

CO2 is one of the least harmful things we produce as a byproduct, both through technology and just by living. Hydrocarbon fuels were settled on because they are simply the best way to make vehicles that move under their own power, and anything else is a downgrade. The people trying to sell you solutions to this non-problem are grifters who want you to pay more for a shittier car that has to have its most expensive component replaced every few years tops. CO2 levels could be - and have been - many times higher than they are now and the environment would simply adjust to it, as it has done before multiple times.
>b-b-but le climate change
The climate is literally never static and we couldn't prevent it from getting hotter or colder on its own regardless of our activities, even if we understood it. Anyone who even claims that they fully understand the reasons and mechanisms behind the climate changing is completely full of shit. Ask them why they weren't able to predict this year would be so anomalously hot with such extreme weather if their models are so good.
Nuclear power is far better for static power generation than burning vast heaps of coal, but I'd be infinitely more concerned about the quality of the air you're breathing and what it's doing to your lungs, than how hot it is.

That's a fair number of good new thoughts since yesterday so I figured I'd help explain some of the points of those phenomena.

Firstly there's the question why no nuclear?
The answer is pretty simple.
Whether you believe terrorism from radical Islamists, right wing extremists, eastern single party states, or the governments surface or shadow of the west is happening the fact remains that nuclear plants are too vulnerable to earthquake weapons, missiles, or sabotage from any of the five groups of insane people.
Nobody has a process for doing something like burying the reactor part deep in a mine shaft even if newer thorium cycle plants China is developing are safe from some of those things.

Next is the idea of land distribution from renewable, corporate, or state trusts and areas to locals would mostly just mean using more of the scarce gas oil and coal sources for logistics and construction and hvac to live in inhospitable places and further exasperate water scarcity issues.

Instead green architecture options and materials like organic insulation and weather proofing, earth berms and partially submerged structures, slowly growing forest farm ecology at an industrial scale, or building city structures to mid high population density with engineered timber and then making them walkable besides delivery services with automated evs and drones.

All of these issues about what did or didn't happen with the pandemic are just harping on about propaganda not data and not worth discussing. Everybody lies and stretches the truth. Enough said.

Most environmentally significant pollutants are not carbon and gradually raising earth's co2 levels while ensuring it doesn't adversely impact biodiversity and developing countries which is now even about half of Africa is important so just doing the low hanging fruit of decarbonizing in ways that are also economically beneficial is helpful in two ways, not just one. Three if you count the pollution reduction.

Oil is still the best for cars besides a phev charged with home solar being slightly better investment already.

As for long distance shipping it's possible to use a new sail type to decarbonize a fifth of the fuel needs but the cost isn't cheaper overall just neutral.

Finally for sequestration and such I would say that's a good idea if you want a new ice age, but really there are S curve type responses to co2 concentrations on heating that guarantee that even with other feedback some wet bulb scenarios are very unlikely should we do nothing about it for centuries.

There's no reason alternative and low footprint locally produced materials like stabilized compressed earth blocks can't be used for building low density communities, in fact they're ideal. and I don't suggest moving people in to the desert but rather spreading in to the mostly perfectly hospitable empty land which is quite abundant in NA and will grow more abundant there and in Eurasia if the climate continues to get warmer. I definitely didn't suggest just spreading people all over without taking in to account if there's enough local water for their use, that's pretty much the one bedrock requirement for humans to live somewhere and ignoring that and just assuming we can pipe water in from somewhere else is a relatively recent phenomenon. I also fundamentally disagree with any solution to the problems of the modern world that requires making people even more dependent on high tech 'smart' crap that relies on a global supply chain and empowers billionaires even further, I think that dependence is the biggest real problem we face right now. Not everything needs to be a computer.

modern nuclear power stations are not vulnerable to terrorism or sabotage. even the terrible old ones we're running today will simply boil off all their own water and kill their own reaction before anything dangeroue can happen. the risk with nuclear power is the waste, which compared to fossil fuels is smaller in volume and more difficult to dispose of. but it's the best large scale power solution we have, and it's worth investing in to make it better.

green energy can't replace nuclear or fossil fuels. it can supplement both, but what our power grid needs is two components:

1. large scale constant power generation to supply to the MINIMUM power grid draw at all times
2. smaller scale variable power solution that can be shut off or activated as the power grid draw rises and fluctuates above its minimum

currently the only solution for number 2 is gas turbines, nothing else- not even nuclear- can be spun up or down on demand. that's why we can't just get rid of natural gas, and why it's the most important power issue to solve (hence depending on nuclear in the meanwhile is a good idea).

renewable, green power is fantastic but not reliable enough to totally cover either role. not unless we develop much better batteries.

It would be possible to buy many of those land areas off. I recently looked up a plot of 10 acres in Oregon for 20k and think I might buy it to start an organic farm there. But really the issue is monetizing the places such that people can generate an appropriate income on the land.

One option would be growing organic building materials like wood and hemp fiber. Another option would be food for local consumption including some meat farming in either fresh water or land animals just to reduce col. They can make their own sufficient energy with solar if they use a basement space and earth berm for climate control. Some people could work from home as rural areas are internet connected. There are service jobs like food industry. What would really make it viable though would be something like mines to work in or jobs like maintaining and servicing renewable energy parks.

I don't think it would work in most places unless they implement a lot of water saving lifestyle techniques. Which isn't impossible.
>>15582197
It's the fact that radioactive isotopes can end up in various bodies of water above or below ground.
Examples of terror target vulnerabilities and i mean state sponsored terror that are avoidable and their alternatives are, steel skyscrapers like wtc replaceable with wood structures up to 10 stories, nuclear plants a la Fukushima replaceable with either a buried reactor or salt chemistry grid storage and more renewable, nordstream pipeline replaceable with nothing really.

Anyway it gets said on pol who does these things and they're only marginally oversimplifying it.

The idea renewable can't replace hydrocarbon sources is only really accurate in high demand industrial sectors such as in densely populated developing countries like China and India or possibly Latin America in the future.

The solution is combination of geographical grid storage like pumped hydro and a lot of nuclear, but that will be gradual and plenty of coal will be burnt.

Don't understand what you mean by this. Do you mean nuclear will be (technically is already, but govt safety mandates bump up cost) cheaper than fossil fuels?

Also don't understand this. AnCap isn't something that protects, it's just leaving the market alone to get on with it.
If the free market is the best at finding the the optimal way of doing something (which i believe it to be), then allowing every sector of the economy to be a market free of state interference should yield the best results in the shortest time.

No, it's just everyone in the free market doing what they do for themselves, which as a byproduct makes everyone better off.
In every case of a transaction where both parties consented to take part in it, we can at the least say that both parties found the transaction better to take part in, than to not. If everyone's taking part in a transaction that they feel makes them better off, I think it is logical to say everyone will be better off.

>They're the ones who manipulate government regulations in the first place
That's why I want a free market. If the government does not allow itself to interfere in the free market (e.g. by forbidding the creation of new laws that could touch the market), or by simply not having a government, you can't have lobbyists lobby.

If you open a method of destroying you competitors by using law in front of a corporation, it will likely take it. The free market avoids that option by removing that method. Socialists try to tackle the problem by removing corporations.

Nothing alive today evolved during the carboniferous and the climate is changing too rapidly for anything we depend on to adapt. Every time we've observed changes this rapid we also observe mass extinction events. Are you pretending to be retarded on purpose? Why don't you spend some time with a textbook so you don't need to have the most basic concepts explained to you?

Everything alive today is descended from things that lived during the carboniferous and successfully adapted to that, the great dying, the cretaceous green house, and all the various ice ages and hot ages since.

The species that survived are a small portion of the species that existed during those mass extinctions and their survival was largely dumb luck. All of those changes in climate happened at a fraction of the speed the current warming and the adaptations they needed to survive had significantly longer to develop. The climate they are currently adapted for is the same one we've had for hundreds of thousands of years.

Source: your ass. also yeah I'm sure the changes that followed that asteroid impact were very slow to develop
>The climate they are currently adapted for is the same one we've had for hundreds of thousands of years.
hahahahaha yeah the climate has totally stayed the same for hundreds of thousands of years it's not like there was a little ace age a few centuries ago, multiple distinct warm and cold periods and a full blown ice age just in the last 100,000 years

Sure that's great and all, but why do these species matter to humans?

If I type in "why is biodiversity important" into the internets, all I get is a bunch of copypaste articles parroting "biodiversity is important", or a few articles saying "biodiversity is important because it is important". Nobody actually explains why.

>Natural selection is dumb luck?
During mass extinctions? Yes. Natural selection is the idea that the things that don't die survive to pass on their genes.

>the changes that followed that asteroid impact were very slow to develop
More like nonexistent. That event was too rapid for anything to adapt to it. The things that survived did so because they already happened to have a survival strategy that would allow them to survive.

>the climate has totally stayed the same for hundreds of thousands of years

That was a local event, not a global one.

It's probably too complicated for you to understand so I'll try to make it as simple as possible. Biodiversity increases the complexity and resilience of an ecosystem which in turn means we can extract more services from it.

Domestic terrorism is the biggest lie, why would you want to destroy the country that you are proud to be from. That said nuclear power plants are constructed to make sabotage(Intentional or unintentional) pretty much impossible, nuclear plants are retard proof, trying to blow up a nuclear power plant is just stupid.

Fuck complex systems and their fucking bullshit nonlinear behavior.

Seriously though, they didn't just shrug and say "I guess the ocean absorbed less," they think the ocean absorbed less due to measurements.

That's the problem with complex systems, there are all sorts of feedback loops and tipping points, attractors and valleys. You can't expect them to work in a linear manner.
