Global warming

Global warming is being used as a racket by the western elites to saddle the planet with a tribute yoke. Carbon taxes and
forced conversion to alt-energy are a scam to extort money from the world. Reducing CO2 is just a side effect of the
primary objective. The western deciders expect to both set global CO2 emissions policy and at the same time sell the
overpriced technology to "fix" the problem. This is classic colonial mercantilism.

We see this already with the coercion against Russian Arctic shipping in the name of saving the polar bears from pollution.
Russia is responding by deploying LNG powered ships, but the suppression of north sea route shipping is still potent since
other countries cannot afford to "green" their ships. The relevant point is that Canada, the USA and U-rope never once
attempted to deploy LNG powered ships in the Arctic but declare the right to dictate pollution controls on every other
country.

Surprisingly balanced report focusing on the real sources of the Siberian fires instead of trotting out malcontents
trying to blame them on Putin.

The Earth will move on, the only question is if it moves with us included.

The Earth survived tropical and ice-age conditions, it moves back and forth trough history.
This whole "ecology emergency"is bullshit. the earth is going trough its next fase like it has gone trough in history.

The only question if we are along for the ride.

Look, i am not the hippie-type.
sometimes for progress you need to bash a tree.

But, it is just we can not be we turn our planet in an big paved parking lot.

I look for humanity's progress in science of the stars in the sky themselves.
Like fusion power developed at ITER. The new developments at CERN.
I do not want to wreck our planet in the process.

Instead of now facilitating logistics in war.
I write software to manage logistic demands in the civilian sector.

Destroying is easy, creating is difficult,
It would not harm anyone of we look back on our fellow occupants on this earth every now and then.

For sure the Earth will move on. And also everything is natural by definition, including humanity's civilization and technology.
But unfortunately humanity lacks the collective wisdom to make the right choices. We just have rotten elites leading around
the masses by the nose. These elites are not stellar intellects and their whole existence revolves around securing power and
promoting business as usual. They are responsible for driving the CO2 accumulation thanks to squandering of precious fossil
fuel resources and the ensuing consequences.

I think it is unlikely that fusion will ride in to save the day. The question also arises as to what is wrong with fission power?
If we as humans are serious about alternatives to fossil fuels, then we should have cranked up nuclear power from the 1970s.
Instead we had the biggest CO2 emitter, the USA, putting this industry in a coma. Even if fusion arrives in 30 years, we have
locked in enough warming (through release of cryosphere CH4) that global civilization is screwed. Maybe cheap fusion energy
will allow some sort of terraforming effort but the scale is vast. It is unlikely that we will see this sort of technological effort
in the middle of a global economic collapse resulting from agricultural and invested infrastructure (which runs on fossil fuels)
collapse.

Global warming is definitely a real thing and is man made but it's not unfixable

Just planting some trees could do wonders but it has to be done on a scale that no volunteers could pull off (plus the fact that environmentalists now are more concerned with posting on Twitter than environment doesn't help)

Governments need to get on this and put the boot up the asses of large corporations, order them to start fixing the crap they cause

Because there is mass fear of radiation in the west. I think Hollywood has a lot of responsibility. It has been pushing
the mystical power of radiation since the 1950s. People now think that exposure to carcinogens, mutagens and teratogens
is safer than radiation. We also have the inanity spread around that no dose is safe. If that was true, everyone in Iran
would have died out a long time ago. The machinery associated with DNA involves self-repair. That is why two strands
of RNA forming a double helix are significant. There are DNA repair enzymes that evolved in the face of background
radiation since the dawn of time.

If people care about DNA damage, then they need to broaden their minds and care about it being caused by chemicals.

Why don't people recommend Nuclear energy, jeez.

Because they don't have the necessary technology to make it clean like the Russians can without a lot of investment and money being spent.

3-D model shows off the insides of a giant permafrost crater



Researchers from the Oil and Gas Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and their Skoltech colleagues have surveyed the newest known 30-meter deep gas blowout crater on the Yamal Peninsula, which formed in the summer of 2020. The paper was published in the journal Geosciences.

Giant craters in the Russian Arctic, thought to be the remnants of powerful gas blowouts, first attracted worldwide attention in 2014, when the 20 to 40-meter wide Yamal Crater was found quite close to the Bovanenkovo gas field. The prevailing hypothesis is that these craters are formed after gas is accumulated in cavities in the upper layers of permafrost, and increasing pressure ultimately unleashes an explosive force. Most of these craters are rather short-lived as they apparently quickly fill with water over several years and turn into small lakes. As of now, there are some 20 known and studied craters.
