Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom
The other night I drifted nice, continental drift divide, mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
iykyk
This didn't come out quite the way I had hoped, but my motto for 2024 is "it doesn't have to be good, it just needs to exist."
12:30 - 3:30 start to finish
Original sketch

climate change blackpill megapost
there are several climate tipping points identified in the united nations intergovernmental panel on climate change sixth assessment report (chapter 3, specifically). tipping points refer to critical thresholds in a system that, when exceeded, can lead to a significant change in the state of the system, often with an understanding that the change is irreversible. they are:
the greenland ice sheet
the west antarctic ice sheet
the atlantic meridional overturning current
monsoon systems
el niño-southern oscillation
tropical rainforests
northern boreal forests
thawing permafrost
extreme heat
current (2022) global warming of ~1.1°C above preindustrial temperatures already lies within the lower end of some tipping point uncertainty ranges. several tipping points may be triggered in the paris agreement range of 1.5 to <2°C global warming, with many more likely at the 2 to 3°C of warming expected on current policy trajectories.
greenland's ice sheet is in disequilibrium and we are committed to 2-3 meters of sea level rise from its melt alone in the next 200 years.
greenland's ice sheets have been melting twice as fast in the last twenty years as they were during the previous century.
rapid increase in the rate of melting of the west antarctic ice sheet is unavoidable.
the west antarctic ice sheet is retreating twice as fast as previously predicted
because of widespread seawater intrusion beneath the grounded ice of the thwaites glacier.
the west antarctic ice sheet will raise sea levels by four meters when it melts.
this is causing the atlantic meridional overturning current to collapse.
the gulf stream (aka amoc) is weakening. 99% confidence. measured volume through the florida straits has declined by 4% in the past 40 years
the gulf stream will collapse between 2025 and 2095. 95% confidence.
the north atlantic is four standard deviations above its historic temperatures.
when the amoc collapses, the arctic sea-ice pack will extend down to 50°n. the vast expansion of the northern hemispheric sea-ice pack amplifies further northern hemispheric cooling via the ice-albedo feedback.
a collapse of the atlantic meridional overturning circulation would have substantial impacts on global precipitation patterns, especially in the vulnerable tropical monsoon regions in west africa, east asia, and india where they will experience shorter wet seasons and longer dry seasons with an overall decrease in precipitation
although recent studies indicate that the amazon will experience net benefit from the collapse of the amoc with cooler temperatures and increased rainfall
increased el niño intensity will increase the frequency and severity of droughts in the amazon rainforest.
even if we were able to stabilize global mean temperature at 1.5º C, el niño intensity will continue to increase for a century
and the amazon rainforest is currently in the worst drought on record, which may indicate it has passed its threshold to maintain its own wet climate.
while widespread and persistent warming of permafrost has been observed in polar regions and at high elevations since about 1980, the highest permafrost temperatures in the instrumental record were recorded in 2018–2019 (data from 2019-2020)
as of 2019 the southern extent of permafrost had receded northwards by 30 to 80km
soil fires in the canadian arctic are burning the peat underground and melting the permafrost. stat from the study 70% of recorded area of arctic peat affected by burning over the past forty years has occurred in the last eight and 30% of it was in 2020 alone.
nasa finds that tundra releases plumes of methane in the wake of wildfires.
in 2023 eight times more land burned in canada than average.
russian siberia experienced a similarly massive fire season in 2021.
a methane source we weren’t expecting was warmer, wetter conditions to increase organic decomposition in tropical wetlands which is releasing ever increasing amounts of methane.
we have been experiencing exponential rise in atmospheric methane since 2006. historical data indicates that we may have entered into an ice age termination event fueled by these methane releases.
we have been over 1.5º C above pre-industrial temperatures since the beginning of 2023.
this may be because of the extreme el niño conditions of the 2023-24 cycle, but breaches of 1.5°C for a month or a year are early signs of getting perilously close to exceeding the long-term limit
and the world meteorological organization expects us to permanently break 1.5º C of warming from pre-industrial levels within the next five years.
the united nations environmental programme (unep) emissions gap report found that current fossil fuel extraction commitments leave no credible path to keeping warming below 1.5º C. based on current policies we will experience 2.8ºC of warming by 2100. even if all current pledges were implemented and followed through with (which they never have been), we will only be able to limit that to 2.4-2.6ºC of warming.

And like Imogen is so central to the story of Bell's Hells so far? I saw a post a while ago saying how C1 and C2 had arcs and how C3 instead is shaping up to be larger more involved acts and less neatly about one plot or another, which I agree with, but Imogen is still way more involved than the rest of BH?
Yes Fearne is Ruidusborn too and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if everyone else was, but it feels un-DnD-like to have one character be a Chosen One level of power and centrality to the plot. She's Exaltant, we just met her dad, her mom is in the moon cult, her power only grows and gets more batshit, she lowkey considers joining said cult, she Is the main character ??
What does it Mean .? Will C3 continue after the Apogee Soltice or will it just end there, and if it keeps going, what will happen to the group dynamic afterwards?
#i am eaten up by this#why does she keep questioning the morality of ludinus and the ruidus conspiracy shit#why is this pc so important on her own and what happens to the pcs/players of a pc goes evil#what the Fuck is going on#as ive said before the dread is sinking in#comfort media isn't too comforting these days#critical role#imogen temult#bells hells#ruidus#it's the end of the world as we know it

When I hear the phrase "Doomsday Book," I imagine an ancient tome full of prophecies and portentions about the old gods rising to raze the Earth and create one anew, not a glorified census ledger.

By 2070, one-third of people could be living in conditions that are outside humanity’s comfort zone.
Latest estimates suggest that as many as 630 million people may live on land below projected annual flood levels for the end of the century.
What do you think 4 billion refugees is going to be like?
