OT: The News Thread

Wild.

The Spanish speakers in the comments are joking that this is normal for the area though, so might not be climate change related...lol, or is climate change related and has been for some years now and they're just used to it. Mexicans can tolerate some pretty severe shit and still joke about it (i present my wife as exhibit A)
 
How much do the changing poles affect weather patterns? is this a common occurrence .... impossible to know?
Was talking with a prof friend last week and she mentioned that many of these occurrences could be strictly due to the magnetic changes that ARE occurring.
Obviously, human intangibles are part and parcel of the issues. It would be foolish to deny, look at the oceans and the rivers we have destroyed ....

Consensus among climate scientists is that it's not changing climate to any degree. Geomagnetic reversal would be a motherfucker, but there's no real evidence that's occurring. Just the magnetic pole fucking off slowly to Siberia.

I mean, anything is possible, but it would re-write currently understood climate science if the poles shifting (which it's done since the day before forever) was causing increased frequency and severity of large weather events.

At this point it's pretty much settled science. Put heavy particles in the atmosphere, shit gets hot. We just happen to be on our way to filling up the natural systems that can basically heat sink carbon for us. For everything we've done to the oceans, for example, it took us pounding massive amounts of carbon into the air to cause the acidification that is doing more damage than anything else (and there's a list...garbage patches, farm run off causing algae blooms/dead zones, oil spills, heavy metal dumping)
 
I was going to try something very interesting this week.
I was going to try to grab a bunch of plastic containers to melt down and pour into a mould I have made.
The two moulds I have made are 2x4 and 2x6. They are only going to be 4 feet long.
I am doing this to see if there is a way in which someone can take plastic garbage and re-employ it into a building material that will last indefinitely and is theoretically cheaper. Likely bug-proof lol.
Any ideas?
Figured I would use them in the construction of another greenhouse. Heat in mid-summer will be a concern I suppose.
 
"garbage patches, farm run off causing algae blooms/dead zones, oil spills, heavy metal dumping)" from MZ.
Interesting .... Absentee farmers and landowners are major players in all this. Green algae blooms are becoming much more prevalent and destroying the ecology in these areas ... nothing is immune to these blooms that currently inhabit the small areas of water mentioned.
Also, we do not have a realistic conceptualization of heavy metal dumping .... can you hear that? it is a ticking timebomb!
Sorry all for the turn of the topic.
 
I am not sure of the long-term issues and consequences that might be presented but I think that if most of us separated from the sewage system and used pails and sawdust as our cover and application items for defecation, we wouldn't have to worry about fertilizers and such.
The University of Guelph did an interesting study on this idea .... as have many other forums.
Going to be giving it a try this winter. reconditioning an old zombie house that I purchased and the wife and I have decided to dedicate ourselves 100% to this lifestyle.
She wants to do a vlog of our adventures but mostly it is or will be of her taking me to the hospital for some type of injury lol.
 
This pail sewage system allows the participant to take each pail when full of sawdust and fecal matter, put a lid on it, and place it into an area for a year, and then you have an excellent fertilizer on par with anything available these days and HEALTHY lol.

1 pail a week? 52. And that is alot. lol

that also means that like every Sunday, for example, you will be defecating into a pile of six previous days worth of shit, correct?

(for the record, I am not opposed to this or even grossed out by it, just confirming the logistics)
 
So....if this is an effective method of generating fertilizer, why wouldn't we just integrate it into our existing system for dealing with human waste instead of, you know, going back to the 1600's?
