I live in Alberta, and up until January we were experiencing the warmest winter in my memory. Of course, it almost immediately dropped to -40, but the fact that it took a month or two of winter to actually get snow to stay on the ground for longer than a day is fucking insane. We do get chinooks here, in fact, we just got out of one (it's been a crazy few weeks in terms of weather), but what was happening a month and a half ago was no chinook. That was a very real effect of climate change that is going to effectively starve us of water for the entire year. One of Alberta's greatest advantages is that it rests on very, very fertile soil. As far as I understand, very similar soil to fucking UKRAINE. This soil, and indeed, the entire ecosystem, is reliant on glacier-fed rivers for their water. Eventually, because the glaciers are gradually being starved of water as winters become warmer and warmer, we will have no more water left. All of a sudden, there goes some of the best agricultural land in the WORLD. Now, you may ask, what's our government's strategy to fighting this issue? Funding the fossil fuel industry, because the fossil fuel industry has become 20% greener and has comparatively better labour rights than Saudi Arabia. If you ask the average Albertan, especially the average United Conservative Party voter, this is a totally future-proof and flawless plan. Our government pours billions into the fossil fuel industry while at the same time ignoring companies dumping chemicals on Indigenous lands and refusing to clean up wells that are no longer profitable. Oh yeah, and did I mention that the government, in what should be a pivotal moment of transition for our energy sector, BANNED new instalments of green energy because they "required more regulation?" Of course, this is exactly what I should expect for a woman who shared the stage with Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson to talk about her new policies on transgender youth (which are about as dogshit as you would expect). The point is, conservatives are actively malicious when it comes to climate change, and more often than not spout fossil fuel propaganda to their voter base, who think that they're the smartest people on earth for being brave enough to say that a mild tax on carbon emissions is the equivalent of the fucking holocaust. Which is only a little bit of an exaggeration. And, of course, Trudeau is giving these assholes so much fucking ground it's embarrassing. But I digress.

"Doesn't sonar catch the submarines" only if the subs fuck up. With tracking modern subs it really comes down to will the sub fuck up before they sink you.

[@grindcoreninja6527]

The fact that sonars boil the water directly touching them and they would liquify your insides is insane.

[@markgresch9944]

Depends, with Passive Sonar you are completely correct. Basically you are just listening in the water. Even Nuclear subs (which do have to keep their reactor running) are so well insulated in terms of sound, the only real thing you can pickup is the propeller, and the slower they go the harder it is to hear them. Apparently NATO subs have accidentally collided in the past, they are that quiet. Active Sonar (where you ping out) it's just a matter of range, and if echo comes back. The issue is that you reveal your position when you ping out, so subs don't do it, as while you may pickup the other sub, the other sub will doubtlessly pick you up. Ships however I am to understand, used to ping out like crazy, and will still do so during war because there isn't really a way they can conceal themselves. They are on the surface so radar, airborne reconnaissance, satellites and the noise of their engines and the ship cutting through waves on the surface makes them stick out like a sore thumb. They'll actually drag sonars attached to lengthy cables to get depth, or have helicopters do the same thing or drop Sonar Buoys that ping out if they suspect there is a sub operating nearby. They don't do it as much anymore as it causes issues with Marine wildlife, and subs will generally steer clear of them, as the ocean is quite large.

[@nocare]

Depends on a lot of factors. For instance if operating in shallow waters then the SOFAR channel will not be available to hide under meaning active sonar can easily see large nuclear submarines. If operating near coastal waters large militaries have permanente passive sonar installations on the seafloor to list for subs especially the relatively loud nuclear kind. The max range a sub can engage with torpedoes is very short relative to modern weapon systems. So its a big risk to sneak in close to say a carrier group where they can immediately hear the torp launch and send helicopters with sonar buoys to find you and drop torps from the sky. This is in part why many navies operate diesel subs for coastal defense. Modern ones use stirling engines and liquid oxygen tanks to have much longer endurance underwater and because even then they are so much quieter than a nuclear sub they will often acquire the enemy on passives first and so fire first. The list goes on.

But now that is done it would be silly to do it all again in a second location rather than just managing the Panama canal better. They can't pump water from the sea to the lake because of the negative ecological effects, but they could build additional storage pools by the locks and use pumps to recycle the water within each lock instead of letting it head out to sea every time a ship goes through. If the flow is neutral neither is not out then it minimises contamination and water loss so more ships could be accommodated.

[@VictoriousGardenosaurus]

@@adrianthoroughgood1191 One must ask, if every ship had to pass around S.A. would every ship actually depart for that voyage?

The reason subs are hard to track with sonar is because there are basically 2 ways to do it, active and passive. If we used active sonar it would be incredibly easy to find subs, the problem is, it makes it just as easy for the sub to find you by tracing where the very loud ping just came from, and they don't have to go through the trouble of sorting out whether you're a ship or a whale because you've already told them by pinging. Passive is almost like finding a needle in a haystack because it's basically just trying to listen really hard for subs, which are incredibly quiet and are equipped with a lot of countermeasures to reduce their sound profile even further. Also, shutting a reactor down is literally just dropping the control rods. It's almost instant lol.

I’m from San Diego and I’m not gonna lie, the weather has been pretty crazy recently. I’m really not used to rain so I barely have any clothes to deal with it

About Subs, you can have a valve system where the exhaust is ejected from out of the sub. Though that isn't what's going to give you away, what's going to give you away is the sound of the engines. You can here that coming from miles away in the water.

This is mostly incorrect.

well prices are about to get a lot higher.

Why not have a track system to move ships via rail across panama?

[@nsmith2016]

Yeaaaaaa I'll take my Midwest winters thank youuiuu😊

[@zachmatthews1249]

Idea 💡 You could offset the power requirements by implementing turbines that capture the volume of water in each of the locks in the Panama they spin up turbines as they drain providing a Max of the full lock 40% power to add to the pumping system. 5:20 also keep in mind the lake they get a lot of their water from is an artificial freshwater lake

Maybe instead of pumps and pipes to keep the canal full, build a freight railway connecting a seaport on the east to one on the west coast?

The Pacific Ocean is about 40 cm higher than the Atlantic, therefore drilling a direct hole from one ocean to the other would create a slight current from the Pacific to the Atlantic. We should do that, nothing bad could possibly happen.

Wow, that is shocking stupidity.
