Just Warming Up? The Deadly Impact of Rain in Antarctica

[@__--__]

7:55, it's not just that we're fishing krill, it's that we only bother with the krill patches that are dense enough. It's easier (for penguins and whales) to catch krill if they're in a dense patch rather than spread out thin. We may be only taking a small percentage, but we're hitting them where it hurts the most In fact, it's so costly for a whale to feed, that it takes more energy to eat krill than it gets out of krill if the krill patch is too sparse

we are already at 1.5 degrees this year, James Hanson speaks on this also and Paul Beckwith. It’s now a matter of survival with things like AMOC collapse and even a BOE. It’s sad we are in a mass extinction. My optimism comes from Indigenous knowledge and respect for the earth, we will see what happens.

[@michaeld5888]

What happens happens. There have been times with no ice caps before and the Earth has survived even bloomed. It is just no-one was immersed in numbers and statistics in these times. This attempt by the wet panicky leadership we are currently lumbered with at present to lock the ever changing planetary climate, with an unknown variability of solar energy input in to all this, to a fixed temperature for eternity is doomed to failure. The Asian governments will just pay lip service to the gullible Western governments and carry on to suit themselves having more sense. This does seem more about the the administrations that expand metropolises a few inches above sea level in a warming era in what is an ice age with no thought for the future, then when reality does come in switch immediately to a frenetic panic mode awash with fear statistics. With the Antarctic festooned with 'research' stations fundamentally to plant a flag ready for a potential land grab and surrounded by cruise liners packed full of gawking tourists the motivation for all this is very suspect.

Ask Google, Ans from NOAA: “1°C since 1750? So how much change is that a year in °F 1.8F/272 years = 0.0066°F /year How much is actually caused by the USA? OK Lets ask Google ,Ans: 27% So the USA has caused (27%) * .0066° /year or .0017° F /year. Have you ever asked what is the half life of CO2 in the atmosphere? Ans: 120 years WOW!! By using NOAA’s historical records after reaching NETZERO in the USA, the MAXIMUM change expected in global warming is -.0017°F /year And it will take 120 years to realize an actual reduction of -.00085 °F

How much plastic thrown away waste does the USA and the rest of the world create each year, something that COP28 totally ignored. The USA is not on another planet as many up there seem to think in that country. Crude oil is refined to make all kinds of plastic items that end up in the ground or in our waterways, seas and oceans. How's your permafrost going?

First thing, let me say I’m 100% a believer in human induced climate change, and that our species needs to do as much as possible to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. However, one of the things that is *extremely* important to remember is that earth has very long climate cycles. We’re currently in a deglaciation cycle, and as terrible as this is, eventually it was likely to happen (Antarctic warming). We have no ability to change the long term cycles of the climate, although if we were smart we’d definitely live much more in harmony with the earth - regenerative farming, less pesticide use, fewer plastics or at least much larger percentages of compostable plastics, more recycling and slowly reducing our population overall until we have mastered how to live with each other and in balance with nature.

It is truly devastating what is occurring.

In the absolute best case scenario the rate of warming can be reduced by about 1/3. Those penguins need boots so that they can pull themselves up by the straps. That's great that they're optimistic, but probably if you're a biologist or a photographer in a western country you got some pretty good things going for yourself. The language is bizarre. Speaking of what we've "lost" when in reality it's consciously destroyed; what we will "do" when we need to stop doing everything that makes money. Unlikely the government would allow that. Most people have no options, and "optimism" is kind of delusional. It's like a religion from a very uninformed and ahistoric perspective that shouts down reason. There's plenty of optimism around, just no basis for it.

[@OutThereLearning]

A thought provoking comment. I think that the question of optimism vs hopelessness is just which one most empowers the most activated response from people. But the are many possible views on that. Thanks for sharing your feedback

[@eljanrimsa5843]

1/3 of what? That's a clever way of inducing hopelessness. In reality everything that we do in our daily lives to pump more CO2 into the atmosphere makes the end result worse. Every stand of trees that we protect, or plant, every fossil-burning engine that we don't use, makes it better. We may not save the Adelie penguin in Palmer station, but we may keep an inch of ice more for cold-adapted species around the world a few hundred years down the line.

[@jomo9454]

I think there are two main bases for optimism among scientists - 1. You can make more money if you don't bring our chucklefu* entertainers and newsclowns down and make all the polluting industries mad at you. 2. So you can not kiss yourself goodbye (I hope that makes sense), but go on another day to try to fix just one more problem.

[@coweatsman]

If you're optimistic don't worry, your optimism will soon evaporate in the face of reality. Grieve now and beat the rush.

[@coweatsman]

30 years of optimism and much good it's done us. Optimism has been weaponised to lull the populace to sleep. Don't worry, TPTB have everything in hand so you can go back to sleep and consume mindlessly. Optimism will only lead to frustration and anger. The next 30 years will very likely resemble the last 30 years. Much will be said. Lip service will be paid. Songs of optimism will be sang. All to keep the consumer economy a float and CO2 per million will continue rise. How do I know this? Because that is exactly what has happened in the last 30 years. We need to face the reality that "hope" has only amount to so much addictive "hopium".

Atmospheric Co2 accounts for less than 1% of global temps. Of the total carbon in the atmosphere, volcanos account for 97%. Human activity makes up less than 2%. So, carbon tax?. Now ask yourself, of the recent wild fires, how many were started by the very climate activists that put out these videos. There is a bigger picture here. The Earth just crossed the center plain of the galaxy, with a temp difference going from -800c to -400c, with the sun going into a solar minimum, witch means it's hotter. Technically, the Earth is still in a ice age and temps have no where to go but up. So yea, climate change is real and you can't do a dam thing about it.

The current COP is a case in point. The chair is the head of an organisation that plans to EXPAND it's oil extraction to a greater extent than any other oil company (and that's really saying something, because they're all expanding their extraction as much as possible). It's the voice of the people, turned into votes for the politicians who really care about the fragile environment in which we live, that we will be able to look our children and grandchildren in the eye and say we did the very best that we could.

The Antarctic weather patterns are cyclical, and the wildlife migrates (different from extinction) with those changes. In my lifetime, we have seen the ice advance and retreat. Both are normal and natural and are effected by the balance of temperature and precipitation. Ice can advance during warming if precipitation increases and vice versa.

Human created problems require practical human solutions and I mean immediate solutions that aren't carbon taxes or anything like that but breeding krill to release in the oceans for example and perhaps create areas where the water drains fast and remains naturally as warm as possible for the penguins to breed and raise their young. Yes we have to begin to see the Earth and its oceans as something that has to be managed same as a farm or a ranch because like it or not is where we are at.

Ice cores show several ice ages in the last 500,000 years. They show we are probably in a short warming period of up to 11,000 years. We are in the Quaternary ice age. Humans are not helping, but we can't stop it. Increased co2 promotes plant growth. Warmer means more food and green.

We have 5 years to turn back the atmospheric CO2 levels by 50 years, what we are experiencing now is from atmospheric CO2 levels of 20-30 years ago because there is a 20-30 year time lag between emissions and the heating/cooling. The last time the Earth had the current 420ppm of atmospheric CO2 the Seas were approx 78 feet higher, so we are only at the beginning of what 420ppm will do. To save any life on Earth and avoid total Biosphere Collapse we need to permanently sequester vast amounts of atmospheric CO2 in the next 5 years or we and ALL flora & fauna are fucked, simple as that!.The ONLY ways we can reduce atmospheric CO2 to climate stable level of a min 300ppm is to make 2 rapid transitions, 1) an end to animal ag because without animal ag we could reforest 78% of agricultural land which would be enough of a Carbon Sink to reverse global warming. 2) a rapid transition to a (Decentralised) Carbon Negative Algae Based Economy, we don’t have 10-20 years to end animal ag and for the freed up land to reforest & mature enough to sequester the necessary atmospheric CO2. Which is why we ALSO need to utilise Algae to do what only Algae can do and what it did at the beginning to enable life to evolve on Earth, drawing down vast amounts of atmospheric CO2 and cooling the climate. We can use Algae to clean our waste water, Landfill runoff & industrial gasses if we did just that we would be Carbon Negative, also Algae produces valuable Biomass & Bio Oil that can be made into numerous Eco friendly products including Fertiliser, Nutraceuticals, Carbon Neg Bio Fuels, Compostable Bio Plastics etc. While creating millions of new local Green jobs and bring £€$Millions to local economies/communities! 🌻✊🏽🌎

I put things in this perspective: we have been competing with each other since we were primates in the trees. Family against family, group against group, tribe against tribe, cities against cities and finally countries against countries. Okay, now we have a worldwide emergency that needs everyone's cooperation. We are 8 billion idiot warriors. How likely is it that cooperation will become possible? 0%. I don't blame humans for their failure. We did what needed to be done. Like any other species we explore all the possibilities of our genetics. We manage to accomplish great and sublime things. But unfortunately, our genetic defect brings us down: we are aggressive, violent, competitive and suspicious. Only a miracle can get us through this. .

[@benmcreynolds8581]

Our environment matters more than anything else. Everything branches off of that so we need our environment as a sorta foundation. At this point nuclear energy should be the main energy source we are using for our power grids. Then use our other alternative energy sources across the world in collaboration with that. This power source is the best option to improve our environment & it will really help lower our emissions. The only things holding us back is legislation and the ways fear mongering has effected people. The more I've learned about our power grid, the more I've learned that modern nuclear energy options is our best option. Molten salt reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, Small form reactors. Utilizing our advanced technology, Improved engineering & material science. Utilizing our greater understanding of safety & well made designs. We have so much more advanced computer technology & robotics that can be used. It feels like even tho tons of advancement has occurred with engineering designs, safety measures, etc. It still doesn't matter to most people. It's like most people are ingrained with a natural negative response when talking about nuclear energy. It's a bummer because i truly believe that our best option for our future is to start utilizing Modern advanced nuclear energy options in our electrical grid. It's just proving to be challenging to get politicians to get on board. It will really allow places to be much more energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, power desalination plants, etc. We need to heal from the trauma of our past. See & learn that those things only happened solely from Us not understanding what we were doing when it came to nuclear energy at the time. We didn't have advanced enough technology, material science, engineering, safety measures, understanding of how to go about everything, etc. This source of energy will greatly help the world improve towards the future and lowering emissions. More than anything else could, while also providing a very stable electrical grid system. Currently we have alternative energy options but the majority of our grid is powered off of fossil fuels and emission producing sources of energy. We will be so much better going forward commiting to modern advanced nuclear energy options. Did they outlaw electricity or oil, coal when things went wrong in the early days of those fields? No! They kept going and understood things usually are bumpy and difficult in the beginning and kept going even tho those sources negatively impacted our environment. A huge issue is government BLOCKING any sort of progression from happening. We'd be lucky to see the slightest projects approved or finished with-in the next 100 years.. It's very annoying to see how much we have gotten in our own way when it comes to improving or advancing certain things. Instead we let fear, money, man made "required legal processes" Stop us from doing anything other than wind, solar, oil, natural gas, damming our rivers, mining for minerals... It's very frustrating because we should be able to use all these options in collaboration. If we actually wanted to improve anything. That's what we need to do and stop letting so much potential get blocked from ever occurring in the first place.. It's really irritating. I wish certain people didn't make this so "complicated and difficult" Why would any reasonable person want to block progression? In my opinion it's been irritating that our society has taken this "it's up to each individual person to make a difference" approach. When that just plays off of people's emotions. This issue is so much bigger than individual people. We need countries/states to get on board. It's the only way we can make even the Slightest difference. We've already waited too long. Everyday is a day wasted & we haven't even made a dent in improving our situation. The fact that Desalination is so energy intensive but fresh water is so important.. What If we dedicated nuclear energy to be the main energy option to run these energy hungry desalination plants?? Idk why we aren't already doing this anywhere we could...? Seriously think about it.. Nuclear power produces no green house gas emissions. It's extremely energy efficient. The list goes on. So why are we not utilizing this... We are being extremely too slow, too reserved, too cautious, too inactive to even make the smallest dent into our climate issue and our energy issues. It's holding back progression across the board in many different area's.. It's honestly getting really frustrating. I thought we would be more motivated than this. More active than this....?

[@firsttorecess1074]

​ It's not pessimism. It's realism. Emissions are up 16% when we were supposed to have them down 20%. Everything in modern society is fossil fuels dependent, from agricultural to manufacturing to transport. The only solution is to de-industrialize and contract, and people are not willing to do that. Nature is saying, "It's not a choice. Live my way or die.' Man is saying, "I choose death and I will take everything with me." I can be an optimist and say that I'm going to keep throwing this rock until I hit the moon, but the impossible will still be impossible.
