In a Linux distribution for a particular architecture all code is compiled to the underlying CPU architecture. Packages can also be built from source.
Proprietary software is different since it doesn’t give you the freedom to build things from scratch. There are emulators, of course, but they all fundamentally suck.
Given https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/ not really surprising. Weather is a heat engine, and there’s a lot of energy in the system.
Given that we now seem to have baked in at least 4 K warming, possibly as early as end of this century, humanity (what is left of it) is going to see something way outside of historic records.
Some bloggers still do. But most people are energy blind, so they fail to see its significance.
But even fracking is on its last legs, yes. And seems the first bottleneck is diesel and bunker fuel, since tight oil is so light while the fracking rigs burn a lot of diesel per unit extracted.
This time he doesn’t mention declining EROEI which further reduces available net energy per capita.
Relevant passage:
Applying our model to today’s atmosphere-ocean state with an enhanced anthropogenic P flux from land in a sustained 130% excess over average Phanerozoic continental P weathering rates will ultimately trigger the anoxia-P-dependent cascade again in a manner that locks the oceans into an extensively anoxic state for more than half a million years. The oceanic redox state passes a tipping point when the oceanic P/O2 ratio is ∼2.3 and continues into a eutrophic ocean state with 3.5 times higher P/O2 than today and sustained high productivity and organic C burial. The Earth system tips back into the oxic ocean state as atmospheric O2 levels rise and cause oceanic P/O2 ratio to decline below the tipping point (Figure 4). The dynamics of the event depend critically on the formulation of the anoxia function, which is assumed represented by a sigmoidal function with parameters calibrated in 3D (GENIE)64 and 1D (CANOPS)65 Earth System models. The new sedimentation-dependent formulation of the benthic P flux does make the oceans more sensitive towards runaway anoxia when anoxia develops in shallower depths, but our model still requires a long period (>104 years) of sustained P input to pass the tipping point for global marine anoxia today. With oceanic P input at a sustained 130% excess over average Phanerozoic continental P weathering rates for ∼120 ka, anthropogenic forcing will eventually trigger the anoxia-P-dependent cascade in a manner that locks the oceans into an extensively anoxic ocean state for more than 0.5 Ma until oceanic P/O2 begins to decline as a result of rising atmospheric O2 levels (Figure 4).
Looks fine to me. I’m an ordinary human just like you.
If you look at the numbers, we’re not transitioning away from fossil to renewable. We’re increasing fossil use while adding renewable on top of it. The fraction of fossil in the primary energy use remains about the same.
