  • The evidence in the geological record shows that this level of ocean acidification has never been hit this quickly before. This level of ocean acidificaion is the highest its been in 300 million years and there is nothing indicating it has any intention of going down.

  • It's a great show, I've seen it. The problem is the rate of ocean acidification is unprecedented at this speed in our geological history, and that our current level hasn't been hit in 300 million years, and we're still trucking. This could create an irreversible change.

    The other thing to factor in is this will be it for intelligent life. We won't get another chance at a species progressing the way we did because much of the world's easily accessible oil has been used up.

  • It can't be solved on an individual level, but that's exactly where it has to start. Any movement begins with one person convincing another, who convinces another, and so on until it weaves its way through the zeitgeist. Nothing will ever be accomplished if we just say "nuh uh, it's the companies and the government's fault!" Once a critical mass is reached, the corporations and governments will have to bow to the people's will or face a revolution. It's the only way it works, and it's the only way it has ever worked.

    Nuclear power is opposed because people are afraid of it. People are not logical and they're definitely not smart, so when they think of a nuclear reactor, they imagine an atomic bomb blowing up over and over while it powers a generator, like a more powerful combustion engine.

  • Russia will simply destabilize anything it can. They tried to get all of Africa, but it turns out they can see through their bullshit like everyone else, so they've decided to fuck with a handful of countries instead. These countries, by the way, are often responsible for vast diamond mining operations, with Russia being the number one country for both sourcing and laundering blood diamonds on the planet.

    The people organizing this shit are the ones who are becoming African mining oligarchs. It's essentially the same as Russia's attempted playbook in Ukraine.

  • No it will not. There is absolutely zero evidence of that, and if anything, the ocean warming levels point to the contrary. It can just as easily spiral into the opposite direction and create a greenhouse style system like you see on Venus. Even if we died today, biodiversity levels would take millions of years to get back to pre-industrial levels.

  • These aren't some rinky dink operations, these are huge shell companies housed in office buildings with cubicles employing hundreds of scammers. It's part of an organized crime syndicate, and somewhere along the line there's some near-billionaire and a number of politicians behind the entire scheme. That's what they mean by the nebulous statement of it being "transnational."

  • Things will never get better. When we can't sustain an industrial society then people will start murdering each other for the dwindling resources we have left. This is the best it's going to ever be in anyone alive's lifetime.

    A new community for discussing the housing crisis

    lemmy.world Housing Crisis - Lemmy.world

    A place to post news and have discussions about the housing crisis, its effect on people who are priced out, and what the future has in store. Post news, share opinions and discuss potential solutions. Change begins with every new person. Rules: 1. No spam, no fake ass quasi-news, and no low-tier me...

    It's something on nearly every young person's mind: the housing crisis. Once limited to places like San Francisco, NYC, Hong Kong and London, the real estate crisis has gone global.

    With house prices at abnormal heights and rent prices following suit, it's only a matter of time before certain cities hit their breaking point.

    Let's post information, discuss how we as individuals can make a difference, or even just vent about the complete absurdity of the situation and how we got here.

    This is one of the defining issues of our generation. Don't just stand on the sidelines.
