you’re telling me… the water cycle doesn’t stop at national borders? wtf…
frankly I never thought about it, makes sense, important to put research out there for dummies like me
So it’s a bad idea to chop down all the trees for industrial cow farming and logging?
idk let’s find out
yes, you should cut them down to grow oil palms
No it’s not bad for my country, only other countries.
im sure itll be fine because it profits the bourgeoisie
How could I have forgotten that!
This is being mapped and weaponised by someone as we speak
Yeeeaaah it is….
Honestly, if it’s public knowledge now then it’s already being leveraged against us.
I’m always so torn on publically available knowledge.
Half the time it helps random small projects that never would be done if it weren’t for huge data dumps.
Half the time the worst guy you know somehow uses it to create the Baby Killer 9000.
Same goes with open source code. Love it, wouldn’t be here (or anywhere) without it, but god will private companies try to use it to kill us all. Turns out the real tragedy of the commons was shitheads trying to privatize it and use it against us.
Kinda reminds me of Utah Philips. Said something like “I just won’t sue you” if you were small or doing good with his songs. But set up something to collect royalties from bigger fish.
Totally agree, just merely pointing out that the baby killer 9000 is almost always under development and being updated well before the information makes it to us.
Great video on the subject of the biotic pump: Old Growth Forests - Nature’s Biotic Water Pump (YouTube)
IIRC there are some weird comments on here that seem like climate change denial, but he might be just emphasizing the impact of transpiration? regardless, you’re right it’s a great video!
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
