Decades of recycling and electric cars and carpeting the planet with ugly blue solar panels WASTED! And all because some fucking MOUNTAIN decided to fart a bunch of death gas into the air!
>>
>>15852598
The volcano is only erupting in the first place due to fracking in the North Sea.
>>
>>15852598
that would only matter if CO2 were a greenhouse gas, which is isn't.
if CO2 was really a greenhouse then Mars would have a massive greenhouse effect because Mars has over 2000% more CO2 per unit surface area in it's atmosphere than Earth does.
Mars has no measurable greenhouse effect whatsoever, which rules out the possibility of CO2 being a greenhouse gas
>>
>>15852602
Actually it's because of all of the fracking your mom and I have been doing

Mars has a thin atmosphere and is way further from the sun.

how and why is a volcano emitting co2?
isn't co2 a biological product?
>>
>>15853150
venus bruh
>>
>>15853157
yeah but how?
does molten rock just turn into co2 or what is going on?
>>
>>15853078
co2 is a greenhouse gas, but its effects are weak

>>15853126
mars still feels effects from the sun strongly, as mars' polar caps pattern match those on earth.
but to rephrase you statement, you are claiming that co2 has a negligible effect at trapping heat compared to the rest of earth's gasses, whish is true. water is at 99.5%+ responsible for the greenhouse effect, whish is still vey small in the grand scheme of things.

I concede, clean coal is the way. Communist Big Solar is trying to cuck you into sourcing your own electricity independent of the grid. Those pinkos are trying to disrupt the free and vibrant market of mom and pop oil companies.
>>
>>15853166
that shit looks horrible. humanity needs rtsc soo bad. with it we can dump the panels in the oceans, and use the land for something else. like trees for fucks sake. I'd always take trees over panels.

Or just put panels in the desert where there are no trees.

>>15853202
Those ones that just direct light into a solar thing in the middle are pretty cool looking. There have been some developments there heating sand to make a big heat battery that can slowly release over like 12 hours.
>>

For the people who live in the desert or are you actually that retarded that you think solar is a good form of grid-level power generation?
>>
>>15853224
not him but with rtsc (0 transport losses, anywhere on the planet) and increased panel efficiency that is absolutely valid. the day side of the planet can power the night side in realtime, 0 transport losses, no batteries needed. stop reading propaganda anon and start thinking for yourself

This is retarded. Volcanoes don't put out anywhere near as much carbon dioxide as humans. Find a real source or fuck off.

Okay, and with magic pixie dust we could make sure nobody ever starves to death again.

That doesn't mean we should build our food logistics infrastructure around the idea that magic pixie dust will come in to save the day.

Room temperature super conductors are a coping mechanism that people use to try and overcome the problem of there never being a free lunch.
>>
>>15853289
We don't even need magic pixie dust. We grow enough food to feed the world like twice over. Starvation and famine are purely logistics and economics issues in the modern world, which is ironic because every free market capitalist will tell you that markets are efficient means of distributing resources and that communism and socialism will cause famines.

Like causing famines because you can't figure out where to send the food?
>>
>>15853316
Yup :)
>>
>>15853319
Sounds like intelligence is the resource your most constrained in.
>>
>>15853321
I'm not the one deciding solar in the desert makes sense because "if we get zero waste interconnects one day it could be great." :)
>>
>>15853330
Me neither. I'm the one explaining that you don't need magic pixie dust to feed the world because we already produce more food than we need to feed all of humanity.

Intelligence is definitely the first issue you should work out with the adults. Usually we call that "school".
>>
>>15853336
Unfortunately, you've got the same problem as the solar in the desert people.

The cost management in the distribution is the hard problem, not the production. You can produce all of the food you want, if you can't get it to people, it will be wasted. Just like solar in the desert.
>>
>>15853352
>The cost management in the distribution is the hard problem, not the production
It's not. Just cut agricultural subsidies and the problem will mostly sort itself out. Pretending that US farmers who own hundreds of thousands of acres are competing with Ugandan farmers who own 10 acres is disingenuous and creates inefficiency. Literally just stop giving people tax dollars for putting seeds in the ground and people will have to actually sell the food and moreover maximize profit.

You should spend your time working on that intelligence problem. That will be the best way for you to spend your time.
>>
>>15853359
Maximizing profit and minimizing food waste are not the same thing. They are different objectives that sometimes happen to coincide but non-necessarily so.

Planting less corn in Iowa also doesn't plant more corn in Uganda.
>>
>>15853362
>Maximizing profit and minimizing food waste are not the same thing. They are different objectives that sometimes happen to coincide but non-necessarily so.
Because of agricultural subsidies. You don't have to sell the food you grow, and if you do you don't have to get any money for it because your profit comes from taxes. That system encourages waste.

>Planting less corn in Iowa also doesn't plant more corn in Uganda.
Nobody said anything about planting less corn. We're talking about paying farmers for the food they grow, instead of for the fact that they own a farm.

Again, I think your biggest problem is the intelligence thing. Wouldn't you rather work on that so you can be less of a retard?
>>
>>15853364
No, even without agricultural subsidies they are not the same thing on principle.

If it is more costly to get the food to remote consumers who need it than it is to throw the food out, it is less profitable to have less waste. You will have more profits by selling 80% of your food locally than by selling 100% of your food including transport to remote customers if that transport is more costly than the profit from selling the food.

This is the problem with only concerning yourself with the resource production side of things and not considering at all the costs of distribution/transmission.
>>
>>15852602
It's because we didn't sacrifice enough virgins to the mountain!
>>
>>15853368
Transportation is so cheap that many people make their money trading the exact same food products overseas. Take a look at our import/export list. Moreover, we pay farmers subsidies to use water which encourages them to grow water heavy, low value crops. If they picked more valuable crops instead of growing alfalfa in the deserts of the western US then they'd get real money for trading real food. Instead they drain US aquifers to send a product with next to no value to other countries.

This is the problem with only concerning yourself with the costs of distribution/transmission and not considering at all the resource production side of things. You should work on producing some intelligence as a resource.
>>
>>15853377
You are impressively uneducated for someone telling others to get an education.

Food exports/imports are profitable because they are expensive and difficult (meaning there is a high barrier to entry which prevents competition from others who could undercut prices). That also doesn't address any of the issues regarding famine that you were indicating before, almost all of which occur because it isn't profitable/efficient to send food to these regions that do not produce enough for themselves.
>>
>>15853389
>Food exports/imports are profitable because they are expensive and difficult
Lol no. Import/export is trivial and cheap as hell. To the point that we even ship shipping freighters instead of loading them up with freight and sailing them over. You are impressively uneducated

>That also doesn't address any of the issues regarding famine
Of course it does. Instead of growing products that you don't have to make a profit on farmers will instead have to seek profit from their crops. That means more valuable crops (food, not fodder) being sold for real profit (to people, not trash cans).

This is why I keep telling you that your time is better spent on your constrained intelligence.
>>
>>15853400
I guess when you are hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The idea that food crops are defacto the most profitable in all circumstances is also a bit of an odd one that I'm not sure really has much basis in reality.
>>
>>15853200
Where are the numbers?

Can't just wishy-wash handwave it away when making such grand declaration
>>
>>15853412
>The idea that food crops are defacto the most profitable in all circumstances is also a bit of an odd one that I'm not sure really has much basis in reality.
That's called ignorance. The only crops more valuable than food crops are specialty crops for niche markets like medicinal crops which have a fraction of the market cap and often require licensing and regulatory oversight.
>>

THE POST.
>>
>>15853424
As far as I can tell, the main export crops from the US are grains and feeds, followed by seeds and oils. Used in food production but not actually food itself.

There are some states which export a decent amount of frozen fruit, but these are expensive and a fairly small proportion of the overall export market.

This makes sense when you consider that these export products need to sit in shipping containers in generally unrefrigerated/uncontrolled conditions for potentially weeks/months at a time so anything requiring consumption soon after production would spoil or be very expensive to keep refrigerated/frozen long term.
>>
>>15853433
Main export does not mean most valuable. We literally just had this discussion. You'd be better off looking up a list of cash crops. It depends on the methodology used by whoever compiles the list, but lavender is usually at the top of the list because of the essential oil fad, usually followed by saffron, because the spice must flow, and then usually followed by corn, tomatoes, grapes, ect.

>This makes sense when you consider that these export products need to sit in shipping containers in generally unrefrigerated/uncontrolled conditions for potentially weeks/months at a time so anything requiring consumption soon after production would spoil or be very expensive to keep refrigerated/frozen long term.
Transportation doesn't usually take months (unless you're the Evergiven) and we import and export tons of fresh produce. You can find fresh jackfruit in pretty much every city in the US, but have you ever seen a jackfruit tree?

You've been taught a LIE.
Human CO2 emissions were always <5% of total (natural) CO2 emissions.
Huge volcanic eruptions have often put out more CO2 than all humans combined for the past 100 years straight.
Global warming is FAKE.

If water flows into a bucked at a rate of 1 gallon per hour and drains from the bottom at a rate of .95 gallons per hour will the bucket fill, empty, or stay at the same level?

>Huge volcanic eruptions have often put out more CO2 than all humans combined for the past 100 years straight.
Nonsense. Name a single one.

You are a retarded boomer basing his worldview on facebook memes.

During the last few decades, the global temperature has risen.

The question isn't "is global warming real?", it's "how much are humans contributing to global warming?"
Disclaimer: those that claim that global warming is a "threat to humanity" are just as retarded as you.

I once had a dream humanity ended because of a volcano, I could never forget it. People keep talking about meteors because they know one erased the dinosaurs and the impact is easier to visualize. But volcanos are responsible for massive disasters. All of the ones mankind has witnessed so far are minor compared to previous ones. Our atmosphere is fragile and volcanoes and earthquakes are much more unpredictable than weather conditions. The whole ecological debate is full of controversies, imagine measuring how much of an impact we have deep underground, maybe nothing, though maybe a degree higher on the surface can trigger a much larger effect to earth's interior than we can tell. Naturally or not, I think there is nothing stopping a random dormant volcano to burst a whole continent into space without warning.

Vulcanoes are pretty much only present on the edge of tectonic plates.
They could all go off at once and there would be enough safe land left for humanity to live on.
Sure, the sky might go dark for a while, but we've had the technology to grow things without natural lights for decades now, so even that won't be an existential threat.
>>
>>15885839
If for a while you mean a hundred years and a few generations, then I don't think we can make it. Maybe some may survive and rebuild, but if billions die, that's a huge disaster. We can grow stuff in labs under extreme conditions, but is it feasible to feed everyone? To clean the water for everyone? Health assistance for the volcano related disease? I don't think we'd fair so good if the eruption is strong enough.

Anon........
A hundred years? How do you think volcanoes work, exactly? They explode, put ash in the air for a period of time and settle back down again.
You do realize we have a pretty decent understanding of when and where volcanoes will form, right?
And while we aren't able to predict when they'll go off exactly, we are capable of predicting it when they're close to going off.
See: https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/cvo/monitoring-cascade-volcanoes

>We can grow stuff in labs under extreme conditions
"Labs". "Extreme conditions". Anon, you should really learn how plants grow.

You seem to mistaking "surviving" for "thriving". Half a million humans is more than enough to preserve a decent enough genetic diversity.

>clean water
Getting clean water would require us to filter fresh water pulled from existing sources. It's a good thing we're already doing that.
Even in a situation where technology isn't available, anyone can easily create a water filter with some gravel, sand and charcoal.

Volcanoes aren't some magical thing that randomly sprout under cities.
You know how to use google, yes? Fucking google your concerns. You aren't the first to come up with this self-fearmongering.

Thanks for the slap of reality, I'll check your links.

>A hundred years? How do you think volcanoes work, exactly? They explode, put ash in the air for a period of time and settle back down again.
If I recall correctly, Krakatoa explosion left a decade long scar on earth's temperature. How likely would it be for us to see a 10x, 100x or 1000x stronger explosion? What if the volcano is not violently exploding, but remains active for 100 years dumping obscene amounts of smoke? That's not a long geological time, but would be for us.

>You seem to mistaking "surviving" for "thriving". Half a million humans is more than enough to preserve a decent enough genetic diversity.
To me, that's not enough, I wouldn't call it surviving. Those half millions humans would live miserable disorganized violent lives. Even if they made through those times, it would be a reset button for mankind and a laborious archeological work to learn about life and history before the eruption. I understand your point that mankind could squeeze through those bad times, I was indeed thinking of a truly massive extinction event, rather than a total extinction.

Anon, I want you to google these statements. Reform the sentences a bit, replace a few words.
Learning how to google stuff is one of the most important things you will ever learn in your life (and I mean this 100% straight).

The point of survival is just that; survival. The ONLY thing that matters at that point is creating a new generation and passing on our knowledge to them so that they can do the same.
Yes, life will suck. No, it won't be as bad as you think (stable hierarchical systems tend to form organically). Life will continue to exist. Humankind will continue to exist.
And eventually, after many, many generations, our descendants will be able to rebuild.

By the way, I feel like my tone in my last post was a bit harsher than I intended and want to apologize for it.

A one degree c rise in temperature does not qualify as evidence of global warming. The models for climate change are good for understanding climate but not predicting what the climate will be. So is the sharp rise in temperature the only evidence for climate change?
>>
>>15888371
>A one degree c rise in temperature does not qualify as evidence of global warming.
Any increase in the average global temperature is by definition global warming.
As such, the measurements measuring an increase in average global temperature is direct evidence for global warming.
>The models for climate change are good for understanding climate but not predicting what the climate will be.
What models are you talking about? And why do you believe so?
Just so that we're on the same level: we're not talking about models, we're talking about measurements.
These measurements, to be precise: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-global-temperature

And allow me to give you some unsolicited advice: any time you disagree with someone, tell them WHY you disagree with them.
Just saying "no, you're wrong" brings absolutely nothing of value to any discussion, as the person you're talking will be forced to guess why you disagree.
And guessing what someone thinks is folly of the highest degree.

Food banks don't have enough supplies to meet the demand and "community help"? You'd be in luck if your neighbour would agree to lend you an egg or two these days.

People ARE starving. Ignoring the millions of people not having the means to get access to food just to win an internet argument is absolutely vile.
