I'm exclusively planting tulips for trade. I'm not missing out when the craze strikes again.
Sorry to say, but we’ve moved onto virtual goods to satisfy our crazes nowadays. Try planting those tulips in your homebrew farmcraft simulator clone and watch those profits roll in.
NFTs = non fungal tulips
Plant mushrooms and poppies so you can just disassociate your way into the end times.
The stepmushroom.
Believe it or not strait to jail in the UK mate. Rot with that evil bitch checks notes Gretta 💩
Nowhere near enough upvotes for how hard I laughed lol
technically psychedelic mushrooms aren't a dissociative hallucinogen, but you got the spirit
... Potatoes.
Yes, all potatoes. Make sure in one large area, all the same sub type as well. Nothing bad can happen.
Surely, there is absolutely no precedent for anything going wrong in a scenario such as that.
No chance of famine with monocrops, just look at bananas
LOL
Plant coriander with your potatoes, it repels a lot of the insects that harm them
Yes, Europe has absolutely never seen complete loss of potatoes harvest du to weather events
Diversity! Gotta hedge those bets.
That said amoc collapse probably isn't happening imminently, and would mostly only cause cooling in Northern Europe from what I remember.
Northwestern Europe, to be precise. It'd include the Hiberno-British Isles and a little southeast of that.
The answer is to plant native plant species. Your local wildlife will Thankyou as they unwillingly prepare to migrate due to climate change.
What does AMOC stand for? Is it that atlantic air current?
it's the gulf stream, or, rather, refers to the entire system of currents and heat exchange mostly driven by the gulf stream
Its ocean current. I believe Atl Meridian Overturning Current
Idk, but I think it's about the golf stream collapse and how it'd cool Europe down.
golf stream
Gulf, golf is something else.
Gulf is golf in many germanics. Fun.
I was quite surprised, when buying seeds for my garden (I need heat tolerant varieties of everything) that some of the ones that were heat tolerant were also cold tolerant, either old varieties or sturdy hybrids.
Green Magic Broccoli is awesome, and there are lettuces like that. And while our unusual double tap freeze this year wiped out most of my garden, the fennel, which is heat tolerant in my experience, just did not freeze. All those little hairy leaves were completely undamaged. I did not expect that!
Insulation is insulation! :)
Guerilla plant fast growing plants in vacant areas to suck up as much CO2 as possible?
(Yes I know this is like a drop in the ocean.)
Plants and trees are carbon neutral. They release the carbon when they decompose.
Not entirely. Some goes into the topsoil. Also if your guerilla project lives on one plant is replaced with another, so it is carbon negative compared with no plants in its place.
You gotta sequester the carbon by harvesting the trees and then either building stuff (like buildings or furniture, not disposable goods) with them or burying/sinking them in anaerobic conditions so they can't decompose.
Its basically just making charcoal from woody wastes(i use my pruning from my garden).
making biochar using a pit. the wood becomes stable carbon and lasts hundreds of years. I grind it and put it in my compost then add the compost+biochar into my garden.
Biochar is cool and all, but it's still not as good as preserving the wood completely intact. The article you cited itself says "it is predicted that at least 50% of the carbon in any piece of waste turned into biochar becomes stable," which is quite a bit less than 100%.
I suppose it's good for the twigs and other leftovers that aren't even good enough to be made into OSB or MDF panels.
In a mostly solid form though
A little part stills goes to soil and other, we wouldn't have coal if old trees decomposed all their CO2 back to the air
Coal only exists because the bacteria did not exist yet to break the plant matter down when those trees died. New coal can not be formed now that the bacteria exist.
It can be formed, just not in the vast quantities it was back then. It requires unusual conditions to stop fungi making a meal out of it, before it gets buried deep enough.
True. Limited areas like peat bogs.
Skip the line and just make you one of these babies. https://simcity.fandom.com/wiki/Arcology?file=Launch_Arcology.gif
I'm at the same latitude as Portugal and in low elevation. We didn't get above freezing for five weeks straight during part of this winter. We set a couple of record cold temperatures too.
Why not do a mixture of both?
yeah this needs a third button for gmo crops that can handle both extremes
I've heard a good rec is to give yourself a buffer of one to two usda zones plus and minus.
