at least it would probably build up some new ice and increase albedo, maybe set off a global cooling cycle

Bardeen, Charles G., Douglas E. Kinnison, Owen B. Toon, Michael J. Mills, Francis Vitt, Lili Xia, Jonas Jägermeyr et al. "Extreme ozone loss following nuclear war results in enhanced surface ultraviolet radiation." Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres 126, no. 18 (2021): e2021JD035079. http://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2021JD035079

 

The loss of the Earth’s protective ozone layer would result in several years of extremely high ultraviolet (UV) light at the surface, a hazard to human health and food production. Most recent estimates indicate that the ozone loss after a global nuclear war would lead to a tropical UV index above 35, starting three years after the war and lasting for four years. The US Environmental Protection Agency considers a UV index of 11 to pose an “extreme” danger; 15 minutes of exposure to a UV index of 12 causes unprotected human skin to experience sunburn. Globally, the average sunlight in the UV-B range would increase by 20 percent. High levels of UV-B radiation are known to cause sunburn, photoaging, skin cancer, and cataracts in humans. They also inhibit the photolysis reaction required for leaf expansion and plant growth.

✓ Canada’s per-capita productivity ranks among the highest in the world, though this is masked by US corporate owners’ use of transfer and ‘management’ fees to eliminate reported Canadian profits (and avoid paying any Canadian taxes)

Their economy is the biggest potemkin economy ive ever seen , all the metrics are skewed by pure bulllshit financialization and real estate ponzi with everyone selling houses back and forth to each other on crazy leverage with adjustable rate mortgages, its like 2007 there for the past 17 years without the big crash to bring the thing down, they just keep legislating ways to keep it going.

✓ protesting in Canada is mostly legal, though this freedom is being threatened ✓ the level of surveillance of citizen activity and behaviour remains tolerable, though this is changing, especially surveillance by foreign corporations and governments

bullshit they attacked and even seized and froze the bank accounts of the trucker protestors not that long ago. they have less freedom than the usa by a huge margin. ottawa is police state at the lightest protest they give bullshit charges to anyone present if they can find anything at all, like you forgot to replace your license plate bulb or have a old empty beer can near you

✓ we are extraordinarily privileged to be free from the imminent threat of war or invasion

canada government is the occupation , its a colony of britain , with an absolutely miserable underclass of indigenous people. the canadian gov is worse than the usa they just have better PR.

They are literally razing childrens playgrounds to install homeless encampments where they burn mostly plastic to stay warm it is insane.

USA citizens would work those jobs if they paid them a living wage. Labor costs are tiny fraction of food costs even tripling the prevailing ag labor wage would be trivial percent increases in the price of most food

6 in 10 struggle to “recognize and work with mathematical relationships, patterns, and proportions expressed in verbal or numerical form; and can interpret and perform basic analyses of data and statistics in texts, tables and graphs.”

The level 3 question , is what i would consider to be elementary school level. Only 37% of US Adults scored at Level ≥3

Are you not terrified?!

I always wondered how climate deniers could look at temperature and co2 level graphs then walk away with completely different reality than me... It turns out they are actually borderline mentally retarded and these people are a giant dangerous mob

 

TLDR idiocracy

with higher temps , it isnt a mystery how. it drives bacteria and fungi metabolic rates and activity they eat carbon and fart it out. plain simple and predicted decades ago

pretty sure everyone that title read that chuckled and said "semi?!?" incredulously

Not

This is one of my major metrics for measuring collapse, kind of scary its already happening and things aren't even bad yet

In 17th- to 20th-century England, the Lockeian idea that property should be made and held by the highest-value creators formed the justification for enclosure of the commons.

Thats not a lockeian idea. Locke was quite clear that private property was unjustifiable when there wasn't as much and as good available for everyone else.

supplement is good for getting more detailed ideas of what various scenarios look like for particular countries

 

lots of good maps and info in this one.

In particular, food production has collapsed in the country. Alexis Rodríguez Pérez, a senior official at the Ministry of Agriculture, said the country produced 15,200 tons of beef in the first six months of this year. As a comparison, Cuba produced 172,300 tons of beef in 2022, already down 40% from 289,100 in 1989. Pork production fared even worse. The country produced barely 3,800 tons in the first six months of this year, compared to 149,000 tons in all of 2018.
