like what needs to happen to the 1%!

Time solves all problems. Eventually.

What exactly do you want to tell us with this?

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 37 points 2 months ago (2 children)

At an average global temperature increase of eleven degrees centigrade, climate models show that cloud formation stops. This, in turn, decreases the albedo of the planet, leading to even more warming.

+11C average over pre-industrial levels is incredibly high. We'll be Mad Max fucked well before that.

I like it as an alternative to all the ideas about the "future" that are just the status quo drawn out. This is the kind of future I want to think about when it comes to solarpunk. If this isn't the right place for something like this, please let me know.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It just isn't very clear, as the image is just a regular water circle illustration.

[–] Zzyzx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I was mainly just thinking of how our images of the future are shaped by the present, including our hopes and dreams. Even some solarpunk images I've seen created. So I thought it was a nice contrast to such things--a future that is the unhindered functioning of basic biological functions because we live more in harmony with the world around us. I guess I should have maybe added that to the original post, lol.

Thats how I read it as well. I like it, focussing more on restoring our natural cycles is the key to a healthy future.

30% of me didn 't understand, 20% was confused, 50% doubted if the message was really this, what you just said.

yes, I can be cryptic too. What I meant to say is that it wasn 't crystal-clear but the message is definitively there. Plus, I 've seen more niche memes that were completely opaque to me.. so, well done. You just forgot to add saddam :P

[–] Zzyzx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Maybe the real saddam is the memes we made along the way :P

It's not, though? Very few coastlines have artificial sea-walls or reservoirs right up against the ~~ocean~~beach like so.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

No Nestle bottling all the water, I guess.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

Stop, stop, I can only get so hard

[–] Nacktmull@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Those damn radicals, won´t they ever think of the economy?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

fucking liberals ruining the economy
trawls the ocean empty of all fish
LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE, THE FISH IS GONE!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

No giant gigafactories and no money signs. Modernism Fail.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not leftists... But solarpunks! Long live nature.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

you're repeating yourself

[–] AnarchoDakosaurus@toast.ooo 5 points 2 months ago

Leftists not understanding the meme without a paragraph to accompany it lmao. Come on guys it's funni.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

and the right want the water cycle to halt completely. That's a new one. To be fair to them, they have certainly tried with some of their legislative choices as of late, but I wouldn't say it was a conscious effort to break science. Oh wait. Oh I just got it.

[–] rivas@mathstodon.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

@Zzyzx That's what I call 'Waterpunk'.
