    Plus it's just so gross to me...it's just another way to avoid taking responsibility for our impact on the planet, to avoid making substantial changes and avoid the need to stop being such greedy little wasteful fucks

    Excusez mon francais

    Probably we need to ignore such an absurdity. The cost per pound to loft anything into orbit is huge. Cheaper to just gold plate such junk and sink it into the Marianas Trench or excavate the golf course at a DT resort and bury it like other old ideas that belong on the landfill of history.

    Hitting the sun is all well and good until the stink floats our way.

    I think it can be measured if it will burn up or not. The sun is pretty damn hot. And big. A freight load of dangerous waste is nothing compared to that.

    I agree it sounds kinda nasty but hey, if it really does the job with low risk its less nasty than how we deal with trash and pollution now. What matters are the consequences.

    What if there's a lot of gas in the rubbish, like all those stinks and then the sun explodes it and then the sun gets even hotter and earth heats up as a result?

    Tbh I reckon you're better off just slinging the shit out at Orion or something. I know I'm a bit tapped in the head but the thought of an alien getting slapped in the face with a banana peel is pretty funny. They're just like doing alien stuff on an alien farm and then this banana peel comes splat over alien.

    You're welcome, from earth. :sweatsmile:

    Kinda like Sideshow Bob stepping on those rakes.

    Berrrrrr

    Now that's a interstellar comedy movie right there. The aliens see this as a direct attack on their species and come to blow up earth or something.

    I think this butterfly effect notion of us contaminating the Sun with our junk is reaching a bit. The entire Earth could probably be flung at the Sun and it wouldn't even be a blip on the radar. Isn't the Sun effectively creating hydrogen bomb level power every few seconds over most of it's circumference?

    That being said, I think that video I posted explains why sending our pollution and junk to the sun is unrealistic.

    I think it's an absolutely rediculous suggestion tbh. It's a bandaid fix and completely lazy lol.

    The sun is a formal part of global warming and an essential celestial body for sustainable life on earth and humans first reactions are, let's just send rockets into it filled with our garbage. Lol.

    I hear Jupiter's Great Red Spot is shrinking... Let's throw all the garbage there and see if we can get that thing going again.

    I think that spot is a huge storm though. Banana peels would go everywhere. :p lol why is that so funny to me? Banana peels flying through space.

    I can just imagine alien. Splat! Ohhh you cunts, that's it! Teaching these earthlings once and for all. :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

    Let's just put all our garbage in orbit around us until it eventually just forms another moon. A garbage moon

    Okay I figured out where I got it from.

    I remember camping and we build our own cannon with a steel tube welded to a base plate. Put that in middle of bonfire and drop cans of butane down there to fire out. Once we put in all these burned sausages down with it and boom! All these burned sausages flying in the air. We did get a video of it and we were in hysterics it was so funny. :tearsofjoy:

    So I'm just imagining banana peels lol.

    I'd also think in the long term at least, building some sort of actual working factory or a plant or something that would be cheaper than sending rockets into space. I don't know if anybody thought of the cost implications.

    You know, a way to dispose of deceased bodies these days is something like hot pressurised water. It basically dissolves the body entirely to its bones, in which the bones are then crush and then akin to ash. But all your guts, skin, blood, brains and gunk are all basically sucked down into the drain back out into the pipelines.

    I have no idea how to accomplish this for waste and garbage, but surely there's a way. Or maybe they'll. Develop a non harmful chemical that can break things down quickly and then somehow the end result is its all liquified and non harmful to the environment.

    Again, this is all a spur of the moment suggestion and I don't know if it could be realistically done. But something has to happen here on earth as management prevention. We can't be spending quadbilltrillions of dollars on space rockets into the sun.

    Also, has anybody even considered the size of these space ships? We are talking about the world's trash, not a little country town.

    At the moment rocket ships are slim and slender and aerodynamic to blast through our atmosphere. A trash rocket would look like a shipping container to hold as much waste as people would like to imagine.

    I don't see it being feasible at all.

  14. I find it interesting how
    the collective psyche
    if there be such a blarney
    is influenced by
    harsh reality

    What message lingers
    on
    in the subconscious
    if we know that the Great Sun
    Is also a
    Trash
    Can

  15. I don't mind Greta. She's autistic and her special interest in climate change and protests.
    I'm sure some of you who are hating on her have your own special interests.

    Greta is a freak of nature . At 16 she appears 12 and speaks 24 . There is no measure of hate for this .
    It's funny .

    Carbon dioxide capture and use could become big business

    According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius over the rest of the 21st century will require the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere on the order of 100 to 1,000 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide. Currently, fossil carbon dioxide emissions are increasing by over 1% annually, reaching a record high of 37 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide in 2018.


    “Greenhouse gas removal is essential to achieve net zero carbon emissions and stabilise the climate,” said Cameron Hepburn, one of the study’s lead authors, director of Oxford’s Smith School of Enterprise and Environment. “We haven’t reduced our emissions fast enough, so now we also need to start pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Governments and corporations are moving on this, but not quickly enough.

    "freak of nature" is a bit of an overstatement.
    there seems to be more and more teenagers who talk with the style and grace of adults
    and i like it.

    You can look at a 16 year old girl and know whether or not she will be hot once she becomes an adult.

    Greta is a flower that will never blossom, unfortunately.
