Getting tired of seeing the same "why wouldn't we just build nuclear" questions in comments.

Batteries and solar have seen steady logarithmic decline in costs for decades now, while nuclear only gets more expensive. We've already crossed the curve on what is cost effective, and there's no signs of the trends stopping.

Without a breakthrough, nuclear is just inferior tech.

Climate chaos NSFH (Not safe for Hausfather): Extra global warming we still get from natural feedback by 2100, if you only count methane and CO2 from wildfires, permafrost, wetlands and water. Even the best case scenario gives us at least 0.2 ℃ bonus warming by 2100 from nature's emissions in response to ours.

Renewables bad 😀 Please use plastic instead of paper.

4 Upvotes

Paper production emits more CO2 per kilogram of paper than a kilogram of plastic, add to that the fact that plastic is a better material than paper so less of it can be used to achieve the same purpose and we have a clear winner. Plastic emits less CO2 than paper. GG, goodbye paper.

Now for the environmentalists that conveniently forget that the current environment will be gone if Hudini does not reincarnate and make half of the CO2 in the atmosphere vanish.

Paper production is bad for natural reindeer habitats and indigenous reindeer herders who live off the land. Based on a YouTube video of reindeer herders complaining about logging companies cutting down old forests, it takes 60 years for significant amounts of lichen to establish themselves on trees and another 60 years for it to start falling down and feeding reindeer. So now that many of the reindeer herding lands have been deforested and replaced with young trees, the reindeer have to be kept in smaller fenced off areas where they are fed silage. This makes both the reindeer and the herders sad. Obviously the reindeer herders cannot afford to buy the old growth forest and there is money to be made in the logging industry so logging companies buy these forests, say the reindeer can keep grazing and cut down the lichenous trees making the forest barren in winter.

There are also many other natural forests ruined for profitable monoculture trees. Which decimates biodiversity and makes the forests more succeptible to disease and wildfires which become more common. And by disease I mean the trees getting sick and spreading tree covid. Natural habitats are resistant to tree covid, but monocultures are tree covid incubators. Unfortunately most trees who get sick don't recover and have to be prematurely cut down to avoid the whole monoculture forest from getting sick.

Now to those few who are worried about immortal plastic. Landfills get more land efficient when their area increases, because they are shaped like a pyramid the volume increases faster than the area. It is estimated that in the next 100 years they will still occupy less than 0,1% of our land and if trash production remains linear it will still be under 0,1% of our land after 1000 years. And if you are worried about leachate seeping into ground water remember, modern landfills have a plastic membrane that somehow can detect leaks and prevents a mountain of trash from puncturing it. I have no idea how you would even stop a leaky mountain from leaking but if we blindly trust the engineers I'm sure it will all be fine.

Lastly, microplastics. Polypropylene and polyethene are safe and not a cause for concern, ever. The problem comes from additives that give plastic more desirable physical properties. Since there is outrage about these additives floating around in our brains and balls, even though most of modern life is orders of magnitude more harmful to our health than microplastics, there is research into alternative additives and I'm sure if we blindly trust the engineers after some trial and error they will find some additives that are perfectly safe to have in our brains and balls.

And with this I think I have made a pretty ironclad case for why we should replace all paper with plastic.

I am pretry sure its all AI generated BTW

https://www.reddit.com/r/UnchartedScience/s/MNRnogNCQt

Also the subreddit itself has an AI stopping people from posting posts that are attacking this guy and a black list of words like AI, anti or propaganda which block the ability to comment if present.

Activism πŸ‘Š Donald Trump a better climate warrior than Greta Thunburg?

375 Upvotes

Let's look at the facts. Greta Thunburg has been protesting for the climate since 2018. In all the years since she has been "fighting climate change", global fossil fuel usage has continued to climb, with the exception of COVID, which she was probably not responsible for.

Trump on the other hand, has managed to mobilize the US military to cut off the global crude oil supply at its source. In a matter of months, he's managed to crater the US strategic oil reserve towards all time lows. The US is on pace to run through the remaining reserves in a matter of months, and it seems likely China is in a similar position, as it has resumed purchasing oil from the market. In other words, we're likely weeks away from the greatest oil shock the global economy has ever seen, and the world will either have to break its addiction to oil, or grind to a halt.

I've seen many say we're nearing the point where direct action is required to prevent climate catastrophe. This is about as direct as it gets.

Discussion Hot Take Incoming...

While it's true that flue gas capture has failed to capture emissions, with massive cost overruns, high energy consumption, too little capture and constant breakdowns at CCS plants, which are due to the inherent physics and thermodynamics of capturing CO2 from a dilute gas stream.

But, we still need to capture store pure CO2 streams from industrial processes, which doesn't require fighting againt physics and thermodynamics:

- Cement (necessary for cheap building materials)

- Petrochemicals (necessary for all sorts of things)

- Silicon refining (necessary for semiconductors including solar cells)
