Doing the same

Will you train your defence as well?

I've been farming duke sucellus past week and I've got to say Desert treasure 2 was huge success.

There's also one random thought I'd wish to know: I wonder how many 3rd age pickaxes are there in oldschool.

What we need is easily accessible rental cars for when we really need them. Private cars and jets should never have been a thing...

Those companies produce the goods WE buy. If we didn't buy them, the emissions wouldn't be accounted to that company that sells you the good. Oil, electricity or something else that you use.

Anyways, being fatalist about all that gets us nowhere.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Get informed
2. Join organization that aims for change
3. Put in work

Or that would have been it if we still had time to prevent catastrophic climate change. We can still try but I'm fairly certain we missed the train and I wish nothing else but me being wrong. I'm still vegan tho and use bicycle.

About footprints. William Rees wrote about ecological footprint in 1992 and carbon footprint was commonly used after 2000. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/095624789200400212

I doubt nuclear alone would suffice to power our civilization. Of course, you didn't say that.

Oil has been quite easy energy source enabling complex supply chains and I don't think we can change them to electric or nuclear powered ones.

We've had a horrible track record on waste disposal. Climate change is the result of our failure to dispose of CO2 from burning fossil fuels and that's also why I'm wary of us dealing with nuclear waste.

I'm sorry if that sounded too harsh.

I consider finding econiche and surviving in it a win condition. When scaling it to whole universe, it would be being able to exist without consuming and decaying their environment they need for their existence.

Unfortunately, or not, I don't think there is a single species that can live forever. I think all life is based on consumption, one eating something else and growing until it exceeds its limits in environment, after which it decays to meet its carrying capasity.

Eventually sun no longer provides sunlight and plants stop growing. Chemosynthetic bacteria and some fungi may still use some compounds as their energy source, but they have limits as well and eventually all life simply perishes.

So do I believe or think there is something to win? To me simply being alive is a win. The space seems very empty and deadly to me. It's miraculous that we exist, although sad that we are causing extinction event.

I disagree, what's different from previous civilizations is our usage of energy. We found fossil fuels which are basically conveniently stored sunlight and we have used this abundance to help ourself to do more while using less stored energy in our bodies.

There isn't that much oil left which especially behaves like miraculous liquid, kind of like magic. Without it our society would collapse and majority of people would be required to go back to fields to grow food.

Any survivors wouldn't have all the currently existing technology as most easily accessible recourses are already gathered. All while current inventions continue to decay and require replacement eventually, leaving behind only mountains of trash.

I've known for decades that we humans are failed species that will eventually go extinct. Tbf, everyone are and new species come and go. It has been quite interesting and often sad watching our overshoot while many people have lived in hubris and thought we'd conquer the space one day.

The Earth is one special place in space where life has been born. I have no clue why that has happened but I'm thankful for having been alive and been able to witness larger life cycle in this planet.

I doubt any species will ever conquer the galaxies. It seems that life consumes energy and uses it to grow until it one day collapses.
