Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

I think this sends a much stronger message than stone henge

So close together? Probably not. Look at the comments. everyone is just talking about Stonehenge.

Almost as if when you target the problem it sends a better message than doing some random shit.

The fact that most comments here seem to be talking about stone henge says otherwise. If not for what happened to stone henge recently, people might not have paid this much attention to this.

Great stuff! Disappointing that the article didn't mention how they managed to get on the tarmac.

There's usually nothing more than a chain-link fence.

Hear me out. Why don't we spray StoneHenge on the private jets ? one stone at a time, with old fashioned trebuchets

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait a minute, that doesn't sound like painting at all!

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

No one ever said you can't paint with a trebuchet. Sounds very artistic

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Wait until they find out how much it's going to cost them to repaint the jets that they vandalized.
