What exactly do you want to tell us with this?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

At an average global temperature increase of eleven degrees centigrade, climate models show that cloud formation stops. This, in turn, decreases the albedo of the planet, leading to even more warming.

+11C average over pre-industrial levels is incredibly high. We'll be Mad Max fucked well before that.

I like it as an alternative to all the ideas about the "future" that are just the status quo drawn out. This is the kind of future I want to think about when it comes to solarpunk. If this isn't the right place for something like this, please let me know.

It just isn't very clear, as the image is just a regular water circle illustration.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I was mainly just thinking of how our images of the future are shaped by the present, including our hopes and dreams. Even some solarpunk images I've seen created. So I thought it was a nice contrast to such things--a future that is the unhindered functioning of basic biological functions because we live more in harmony with the world around us. I guess I should have maybe added that to the original post, lol.

30% of me didn 't understand, 20% was confused, 50% doubted if the message was really this, what you just said.

yes, I can be cryptic too. What I meant to say is that it wasn 't crystal-clear but the message is definitively there. Plus, I 've seen more niche memes that were completely opaque to me.. so, well done. You just forgot to add saddam :P

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

Maybe the real saddam is the memes we made along the way :P

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Thats how I read it as well. I like it, focussing more on restoring our natural cycles is the key to a healthy future.

It's not, though? Very few coastlines have artificial sea-walls or reservoirs right up against the ~~ocean~~beach like so.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

No Nestle bottling all the water, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Leftists not understanding the meme without a paragraph to accompany it lmao. Come on guys it's funni.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

No giant gigafactories and no money signs. Modernism Fail.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

and the right want the water cycle to halt completely. That's a new one. To be fair to them, they have certainly tried with some of their legislative choices as of late, but I wouldn't say it was a conscious effort to break science. Oh wait. Oh I just got it.

@Zzyzx That's what I call 'Waterpunk'.
