Ze ligt er mooi bij. Opmerkelijk hoe schoon het dek is. Je ziet geen aangroei op de waterlijn. Het is een geruststellende foto. Voorlopig zit er geen vorstperiode in de weersverwachting. Het is vandaag een graad of 10 - 12 in de stad, maar dat kan..

Neal Stephenson's "Termination Shock" started out really good but it's really bogging down. If it doesn't pick up soon this may be a did-not-finish.

I'm listening to it on audiobook.

LOCHLAN: I don’t want to go to a county fair in Chicago if that’s what their cakewalks are like.

ME: Well it helps if you know a guy.

Something like GitHub, but meant to apply to your whole digital experience. Also the idea everyone will have setup complicated #AIFilters on their feeds to weed stuff out. I mix the ideas up with another more recent near future work of his: #TerminationShock en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termina...

"""
The true great derangement of our time—across cultural production, public policymaking, and every other domain—is the denialism that acknowledges the changing climate but seeks resolution through the very systems that are causing global warming.

@davidho.bsky.social A rollicking good read packed with geopolitics and bits of climate/chemistry, its title being the biggest warning: #TerminationShock #scifi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_Shock_(novel)

@cyclotopie @helenczerski ty for this link. I looked for similar and did not find back when I read:

#TerminationShock by #NealStephenson

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_Shock_(novel)

"The book is set in a near-future when climate change has significantly altered human society and follows the attempts of a solar geoengineering scheme. The novel focuses on the geopolitical and social consequences of the rogue fix for climate change, themes common in the growing climate fiction genre."

"#TerminationShock ist ein barock erzählter Roman über die Auseinandersetzungen um ein Geo-Engineering Projekt der nahen Zukunft. Für Fans der Bücher von Neil Stephenson wohl ein Muss, für jene, die ein ernstes und konstruktives Stück Climate-Fiction ohne ständige Spötteleien erwarten, wahrscheinlich enttäuschend."

Dank an @tinderness für die Rezi!

Due to acid rain, countries lowered SO2 emissions from industry and power plants. But SO2 is also a coolant via cloud-seeding aerosols. See Glen Peters' tweet: globally -0.5°C from 2010-2019. A very short lifetime of mere days means, SO2 molecules cool only locally, while methane and CO2 heat all.

SO2 is emitted by burning coal and ship fuel, & in #volcanism.
The other major coolant NOx, also short-lived with regional not global direct forcing, is emitted by burning fossil fuels eg in cars, and lightening storms & biomass burning.
So when our emissions drop, local heating goes up: " #TerminationShock".

When I say "local heating goes up", I should add that via wind and land-atmosphere and ocean-atmosphere interaction, this local heating also has global repercussions. Eg., wind drives the warm-er air parcel across the globe. So a warmer China and Japan who ditched SO2 and NOx, also heat the #Pacific.

Lowering SO2 and NOx while N2O (fertilizer), CH4 and CO2 emissions still rise is rather stupid.

Which may not be a bad idea according to Neal Stephenson #TerminationShock

That was the title of an SF novel as well by Neal Stephenson which shared an element with this.

Natural experiments can be interesting. Tests of Sulphur for reflection in the upper atmosphere have been too exciting for us to agree to do them, but here is a reverse test of it.

Me, I think a few big dichroic mirrors around L1 and in Earth orbits would be useful.

Ho pre-ordinato l'ultimo libro di #NealStephenson (versione italiana) #TerminationShock

Dello stesso autore ho adorato alcuni libri, ma alcuni li ho trovati un po' mal riusciti. Molto belli #Cryptonomicon e il #Ciclobarocco ; simpatico #SnowCrash (IMHO sopravvalutato dalla critica) e #Zodiac, tra l'altro come l'ultimo è un eco-thriller, ma si vede che è un'opera giovanile.
Il suo migliore IMHO è #Anathem 👍

Vediamo come andrà. Tengo le aspettative basse, così magari ci rimango meno male

In 2021 the #ClubOfRome, #Netherlands branch asserted that #pollution from shipping has a #globalCooling effect. Ie. toxic #sulphur emissions have blocked out #sun and cooled.

They credit less polluting #shipping regulatons + #covid reductons with "#AerosolTerminationShock" that *boost* #globalWarming.

Some spin this to justify #pollution…

Neuerscheinung: #TerminationShock - #ClimateFiction von #NealStephenson

In einer Welt der nahen Zukunft hat der Treibhauseffekt zu einer wirbelnden Troposphäre mit Superstürmen, Überschwemmungen und gnadenloser Hitze geführt. Der globale Kollaps scheint unausweichlich, der Anstieg des Meeresspiegels ist nicht mehr aufzuhalten. Doch dann stellt ein amerikanischer Milliardär die Mittel für ein spektakuläres Projekt bereit, das die globale Erwärmung stoppen könnte...
