this is one of several "failure modes" connected to climate change that are bieng dissmissed out of hand
and in spite of all the blither blather about humans determining our own future as seperate from anything as trivial as the "weather", we exist as the prime exploiter of what can be summed up as the carbohydrate production of nature, a single number of X millions of tons per anum, which our breathable atmosphere, is a byproduct of.
- OgsyedIE 1y agoThere is no candidate for the prime exploiter of NPP at this time, since any numeric measure of chemical throughput has us almost tied with marine protists. Furthermore, the majority of calories consumed by humans are derived from the Haber-Bosch process, which entails exploiting ancient reserves of stored sunlight instead of the present-day supply of sunlight.
