was für ein underrated und overlooked #SciFi ist den #Tides von 2021 bitte? Echt gut unterhalten und grandiose Optik Mid-range #Film ohne unnotige Längen mit einer Klasse Hauptrolle #NoraArnezeder und einem interessanten Mix von #Waterworld und #MadMax
Just stumbled across a film I apparently missed along the way, "Barbarian Queen". With a title like that and especially since it's from 1985, you just know it's almost certainly Bad B Movie Goodness! And I live for that stuff.
I'm one of those rare birds who still likes to see movies at a cinema. Sure, the place I live at the moment has a huge TV and a very impressive set of speakers. But even if we watch movies at night with all the lights out, it's just not the same.
Anyway, I can't help but notice that almost every time I go, I'm one of a handful of people in a cinema with dozens or even hundreds of seats. This creates 2 problems for cinema as an industry.
Speaking of Waterworld, that's a film that's ripe for a reboot. It's an intriguing premise for a sci-fi story, and The Mariner was a classic 90s anti-hero. But given everything a creative writer could do with it, the wannabe Max Max 2 plot they gave us was... disappointing
I'd love to see some edgy writer and director like Lexi Alexander handed the project, and left alone by the studio to do it their way.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love for #UFOs to be visiting aliens, for #LK99 to actually be a room temperature superconductor and for #Fusion Power to be here already, but the evidence just ain't there and hucksters are preying on our optimism.
At least El Nino is going to boil Texas within a decade. The people along the gulf coast in the US are varying degrees of royally screwed now too. It's going to cost them more money than they can possibly fathom once the nearby ocean biome craps out for years on end.
@B_Whitewind I guess we'll we like "#Waterworld or #DayAfterTomorrow?" and the question is not "Which one do you want to watch first?" but "Which one becomes a Reality First?"
Ever wonder what it’s like to be aware of something? That no one knows? That is profound for their lives? I sit here having dinner with my wife. There’s probably 150 people around.
They are here for the lobster season. What do you think they will do when they figure out it’s over? All the juveniles are dead and big guys moved to deeper water.
Next year will be untenable.
The following year? They will know, as well? El Niño is gonna turn woke. We all know how woke and Florida get a long. Just blaming and naming it doesn’t do shit this time. It’s gonna be down the down down.
I am not being alarmist. I actually discussed this morning with a friend. I’m like well shit? What if looe key is not bad? What will that mean? That my urgency is cry wolf? That I’m being dramatic? Well I got there and it was worse than I could imagine.
So like when you got the doomwarden here always like shits gonna suck.
It’s to the point you’re gonna taste the difference now. Wait 2 years or less, it’s not just me seeing this either it’s global with friends of mine I’ve made over decades.
Marine conservation is a small club. So it’s not hard to know bulk of them or someone by extension.
Himmel, ich habe in der Mittagspause mal Leonardo.AI ein paar Solarpunk-Städte entwerfen lassen - und das Programm gebeten, dabei das sonst gerne vernachlässigte Thema Wasser zu berücksichtigen. Ich staune immer noch, hier ein Beispiel! #Leonardo#KI#Kunst#Solarpunk#Stadt#Wasser#Wasserkrise#Arche
Der Meeresspiegel steigt - bis 2100 wahrscheinlich um einen Meter. Was bedeutet das für unsere Küsten? Welche Maßnahmen schützen uns bereits heute vor Nord- & Ostsee und welche werden noch benötigt? ⚓️
"it's not too late if we just [insert total 180 on policy in an extremely short amount of time, like a month]"
and
"it's too late because [total 180 change in short period] is something that never happens, as history shows"
with the recent proposal by a republican (surprise surprise) to just plant a "trillion trees" that proves 180 change just won't happen. Even with scientists screaming that, yes, it would help reduce current CO2, but it wouldn't solve the problem of reducing the amount put into the atmosphere in the first place.
Also, did you know the safe level for CO2 in the atmosphere is ≤350 ppm, and that I haven't been alive long enough to experience a time that was at or below those same safe levels? I was born in 1990, and based on the charts I've seen, the last year that could be considered safe, by CO2 concentration levels, is about 1987-1988. We're now at about 418 ppm.
Compost the rich, eating wouldn't provide as much nutrients and probably wouldn't taste very good. Might as well force them, in death, to be part of the solution they fought so hard against.
Geophysikalische Berechnungen: Versinkt New York bald im Meer?
New York sackt immer ab und könnte vom Meer verschluckt werden. Das sagen Berechnungen der Amerikanischen Geophysikalischen Vereinigung voraus. Der Hauptgrund dafür führt zurück in die Eiszeit. Von Antje Passenheim.
We do NOT want the Antarctic Ice Sheet to melt any faster than it already is. The risks of so much fresh water pouring into the ocean are massive — not only increased sea level rise, but also more greenhouse gas emissions going into the atmosphere, plus the potential for serious disruption to the global food chain. (See https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses/110174993496613175)
And now we get this terrible news...
"Antarctic ice can melt 20 times faster than we thought"
Melting ice sheets in Antarctica can retreat much faster than scientists previously thought. A study published in the journal Nature found that at the end of the last Ice Age, parts of the Eurasian Ice Sheet retreated up to 2,000 feet per day. This rate is 20 times faster than previous measurements. These changes far outpace even the fastest-moving glaciers studied in Antarctica, which are estimated to retreat as quickly as 160 feet per day.
“Our research provides a warning from the past about the speeds that ice sheets are physically capable of retreating at,” Christine Batchelor, study co-author and physical geographer from Newcastle University, said in a statement. “Our results show that pulses of rapid retreat can be far quicker than anything we’ve seen so far.”
22 JUNE NOTE: Before boosting this post from 10 April, I added the chart below showing current Antarctic sea ice extent anomalies, which are shocking in their departure from the norm. Although sea ice is different from ice sheets on land, they do interact — as sea ice declines and weakens, it allows for faster collapse of glaciers when they reach the ocean.
Tja, es spielt gerade die Apokalypse, wir sind in der ersten Reihe dabei und ändern kanns von uns eh keiner.
Genießt die Horrorshow und seid bereit, wenn ihr den zu den überlebenden gehört, den Kehricht zusammen zu kehren um aus den Resten was besseres zu bauen.
