Permafrost is possibly the thing I worry about the most.

This was during the 2016 El Nino,  much the same this year possibly.

Air temperatures around Mamirauá topped 40C for days and the absence of rain and clouds cooked Amazon waters in the sun. In Lake Tefé, a tributary of, and gateway to, the western Amazon .... Fleischmann .... measured water temperatures above 40C between 3ft and 6ft underwater.

Fleischmann was distraught. “Nobody ever saw anything like this before. I saw 70 river dolphin carcasses along the lake and one animal still agonising. It was about 4pm and very hot. I watched a dolphin swimming in circles, struggling to survive. It was horrible. We didn’t know what to do or how to help it.” Not only was it hot and dry, but more than 7,000 fires raged across Amazonas state.

Holy ****! Having been swimming in rivers and lakes, I know that the water generally gets cooler when you go down a few feet.

Everyone needs to m0ar-veggies fohat, there's no other option.

We essentially need everyone to 99.99% veggie to turn this climate change around.

90% of Amazon rainforest deforestation is due to the demand for grazing BEEF cattle. Brazil is a vassal state, they have no political or economic will of their own, this situation is almost entirely Our-fault ('murica).

Don't listen to Tp4 say it, fine

Here's a famous white guy saying it.

[tp4tissue]

Tp4 can't afford beach front property.

[fohat.digs]

Tp4 can't afford beach front property.

Wait a few years, you may get some.

[tp4tissue]

Had a conversation today, with an ignorant person, which is just about 99% of persons.

Tried to tell him about the ICE MELTING.

Putting it most simply, the Ice takes millions of years to make.  If we lose all of it, we would almost double the heating on the planet, as the blacker ocean increases the heat absorbed, while the missing ice no longer reflecting radiant energy back into space.

<This is a planetary boundary> What does that mean, it means if we cross a threshold, we can not go back. Nature just has to hit the reset button, kill everything, and start over.

His argument literally was, well we have refrigerators, the government can easily turn this around by investing in the technology to transport heat away from the arctic.


He's not a dumb person per se, but there are such MAJOR gaps in people's knowledge, that there is no point of DEMOCRACY, in fact, depending on timing, democracy could well be the most dangerous thing..

If you were trying to save the planet right now.  You'd really just have to kill your way to the top of this Idiotic Heap, then turn this around via Incredible violence.   This must be done, because there's no time, and no alternative.


Tp4 can only watch the world burn, because he's got neither power nor annex to power.  He's got some annex to money, but that's useless, because capitalism is good for nothing but burning. Every modern economic machinery is designed to burn or kill something, this includes ALL of clean energy.


For reference, the most efficient electric heat pump system we produce is only 3:1 , use 1 watt to Move 3 watt of heat.  It doesn't move it into SPACE,  only somewhere ON EARTH.   So even if we had a heat pump big enough, turning it on would instantly kill us.    It'd be like lighting another fire in the burning house we're already stuck in.

[fohat.digs]

the missing ice no longer reflecting radiant energy

At least the arctic and antarctic regions are where the least direct sunlight reaches in.

People tour the ice sheet melting. And you see this guy go, yeaaaahh, when a big piece of ice breaks off.

Stupid stupid humans.

Clade 1-b  Mpox.  10% fatality.  Ongoing outbreak in Africa. WHO has declared global emergency, which is the HIGHEST level of alarm in international health law.

Sweden and Thailand has reported their 1st cases of Clade 1.   Current estimates show only 1% fatality rate, but that's pretty bad already.

Previous US infection was the less deadly Clade 2, 0.2% fatality.

Don't touch anything. Go to costco, GO HOME.

Yep. Pagers yesterday, today walkie-talkies. Impressive!
Tomorrow... airpods?
I would do toilet sits.

Sigh.. Israel wants to find out the hard way, how it only took ~30 people do a 9.11 against the United States, the most powerful country on the planet.

I just hope they don't drag us into this further.  Which harris and trump both seem intent on doing.

Currently don't have a jacket for this Winter due to slipping on ice last year and ripping it. Either need to repair my old one, or steal one off a bum, cause I have a feeling this is gonna be a frigid Winter.

Anyone know where to take a ripped leather jacket to be fixed? I tried a dry cleaners, but they said they don't work with leather.

[tp4tissue]

Tp4 recommends Duct-Tape.

[fohat.digs]

where to take a ripped leather jacket to be fixed?

Maybe a shoe repair place?

Shoe repair places do leather in any form, I used to take purses and jackets for fix there.

Hurricane Helene,  climate change? Nahhhhh..

[fohat.digs]

East Tennessee took quite a hit.
Storms like to drop their rain on the mountains, and it builds up a lot of force racing downhill ....

edit - Newfound Gap, a favorite hiking area at the crest of the Smoky Mountains on the state line (the ridge crest forms the Tenneessee - North Carolina state line) got 9 inches (23 cm) ! and that was in a matter of hours, far inland

Where can we go Fohat, if we lose globalization, country wide, the costs will soon make rebuilding untenable. Forget about insurance, you couldn't buy enough materials with infinite $$.

[fohat.digs]

It's about time. Anybody who wasn't already doing it was a fool.

Iran missiles.

Sigh...........

Israel's Iron Dome (America), designed (mostly), produced by Raytheon/General Dynamics, interceptor missiles cost between 1 Million - 3.5 Million a piece.

Iran's latest missile attack, ~$100,000 a piece.

Statistically,  KNOWING exactly where a missile is going to be BEFORE HAND, as in TESTING, Not live combat, we only have 70% chance of successful interception.  This is the best math that current technology can achieve.

If you don't know where the missile is going to be, the %% is basically ffff'all.


Isreel's genocide is not going to end well. Unless we send our troops to finish it for them.

Hurricane Helene damage estimates, $250 Billion.

Animal Agriculture, Keep it up !!

Do we really need more explanation on how quickly nature can put us back in the stone ages.

North Carolina relying on Mules to deliver emergency supply.

Not that harris will be any better for climate change.

I think some religious teaching WITH historical context is probably a good thing.

The problem is, that isn't how religion is taught.

[fohat.digs]

how religion is taught.

"must be the King James Version; must contain the Old and New Testaments; must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and must be bound in leather or leather-like material."

This is Asheville NC, 200 miles inland from all directions.

No where is safe. Where can you run to.  Veggies is our only hope.

Milton, Category 5,  oh it's ON.

Ran through the same ultra-warm water patch that caused Helene to drive so much water.

It's almost like, this is happening exactly like Woke-Experts said they would. Nah, they is hoaxspurts.

Please keep moving to florida, where you can enter the construction trade, to rebuild towns twice no 5 times a year.

On the one hand Tp4 empathizes with the severely disenfranchised, which is actually most people, democrap or repooblican.

On the other hand, and this is of course the wrong perspective, one might think, well, they're not people, you don't negotiate with monkeys, they'll always want banana, how many bananas even exist is irrelevant to them, whether it's an inedible plantain is irrelevant to them, they don't know any better.

More correctly, bad choices have strong momentum, and it isn't until humanity crashes into the wall, which we have, that Mass-Famine changes our mind.  Animal agriculture has destroyed this planet.

Fema budgets, ok seriously, this is just another BAIL OUT structure.  They say "investing" in resiliance. And yet they rebuild in the same place, adhere to the identical codes that failed the first time, OR WORSE, built a cost reduced version that isn't even as good as the original (New Orleans). 

That's Bail-Out. It's wasteful and STUPID.

There is going to be rapid weather intensification sooner, and more numerous.  This disaster structure is unsustainable.

If we don't end animal agriculture immediately, No amount of money will bail these people out, you will just run out of construction resources.

Large community damage, takes 10-20 years to recover, many do not recover.
