Exactly. This is directly due to Elon’s involvement and I wish the media would make that clear. They usually show his tweet in the article, so I have no idea why they’re being coy.
I feel like too many people do not respect nature. They romanticize it, and that’s a very dangerous thing. They forget that you need actual skills to survive in the wild. This didn’t have to happen.
That has gotten worse with all the “survivalist” shows acting like its easy to survive with just a knife and fig leaf in the wild.
They see a show grab some gear and off they go. Not realizing those shows are often fake and when not, the star has many years of actual experience and training.
I’m a huge fan of Alone, but would never in a million years think I could do it. Those people are literally survival teachers or Bushmen/women who have done this their entire lives and even then only make it 20 or so days before calling to gtfo.
Honestly, don’t get too caught up with written rules. It’s always going to come down to a judgement call and you’re never going to please everyone. Having loads of rules will just lead to “well I think this violates rule 72 § 904b(3) and here’s an essay on why!” Just do the best you can keeping things from becoming a Halo 2 matchmaking lobby.
It's 1°C on average. That means every molecule of air has AT LEAST 1°C extra thermal energy. And I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, there's a lot of air molecules. So while taking one cubic centimeter of air and increasing it by 1°C isn't a ton of energy. Do that for roughly all 109 tredecitillion molecules and you get about 2.2 zettajoules of energy. Annual US energy consumption is just 0.094 zettajoules. So one degree increase is equal to more energy than the US uses in 23½ years. The biggest nuclear bomb humans ever made, that pulls in at about 0.00021 zettajoules. So one degree is roughly 10,500 Tasr Bombas going off and then the resulting heat just never leaving.
All of that energy. It has to go somewhere. Sometimes it makes ice turn to water, sometimes it increases the speed at which some wind is moving, sometimes it increases the surface temperature of land, sometimes it evaporates water leaving an area very dry. But it has to go somewhere. And it cannot just radiate back out into space, it hits a CO₂ molecule, bounces off of it, and flies right back down to Earth. And the more CO₂ molecules we put out there, the more often that happens.
Huh this is the first thing I’ve read that puts it into a sort of understandable perspective (eternally recovering from my conservative raised childhood, maybe sane people explain it better in general)
With a global mean temperature increase of 1 C since 1970 there was an increase in peak temperatures (avg) of about 2 C. So till 2050 it will be somewhere around 3 C for the average peak in summer. If we look at the ramp up since 2008 we can expect more like 5-6 C higher temperature records than today. So in the 2050s there will be some summers with 45 C records and the average hottest day every year around 35-37 C
Edit: and not to forget that this is only talking about how high the peaks every year are. The length of heatwaves will also increase by a few days. So where it was maybe 32 for three days and then 35 for one day, followed by a cooling thunderstorm it will be more like five days of 35 followed by a day of 37 and then a much more intense thunderstorm than what we know today.
This is a clearnet site (as well as you being a fucking numpty) so anyone stupid enough to place any kind of order on there deserves to be in jail, if only to remove them from the gene pool.
I’ve been sad because I know I’ll never be able to retire, no matter how hard I work, but now I’m realizing I can stop being sad about that because there will be no world or civilization around by the time I’m old enough to retire. The earth and humanity will still exist but I highly doubt things will still resemble what they do today. One way or another, it seems like things are going to drastically change. We can’t sustain this for another 40 years
I recommend you to read Metro 2035 if you haven’t yet. It really expands on the “shelter” aspect in a most devious way. No wonder the author isn’t likes by the russian authorities.
