Reply to comment by EggplantOrphan in You've seen maps of watersheds, here's a drive shed map. Imagine someone going to see the 2024 total solar eclipse. What's the shortest drive there? What are the odds of making the drive to see the eclipse? I calculated how many people will drive to the eclipse > greatamericaneclipse.com [OC] by MichaelZeiler
the world is on fire and witnessing totality in person is one of the most miraculous wonders of celestial and human happenstance when you’re on the skinny line between the sun the moon and you - a five minute chapter of one’s life so captivating that it’s memory will last as long as your memory does
alternative suggestion, figure out how where you can shave a little of your daily carbon output every day in the interim such that, once summed over time, you’ll at minimum break even with the carbon generated from you going to witness the eclipse. not perfect, the world remains on fire i know, but damn friend don’t let environmental guilt convince you to miss an eclipse you’d otherwise attend
