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.

Yeah, this I can get behind. Fuck those guys painting Stonehenge, but this? Yeah, go ahead.

It's literally rocks. You're valuing human life less than rocks, I think that says more about you than them.

How is this dangerous to human life in any way? They did this to the plane while it was in the ground. Presumably someone is going to clean it before attempting takeoff, and I doubt a new paint job is going to severely impact the safety of the airplane regardless. I mean I guess if they somehow clogged all the static ports it would be a problem, but that's not particularly likely and only really a deadly situation if you take off at night or with less than competent pilots. Those are supposed to be checked before every flight regardless.

You got my point backwards boss. The climate protestors care, the people bugging about rocks don't care about human life, they care about rocks that have historically been vandalized to make a point literally hundreds of times.

You might want to go and tell that to the people down voting your comment. Clearly people are not understanding what you put, an edit might be in order.

I'm not particularly bothered by down votes, to me it sorta weeds out bad faith actors anyway.

They’re rocks as well. They’ll be fine. A little paint doesn’t destroy them like temperatures do to the planet.

Just remember, you took time out of your day to seek someone out and act twatty. Good job, keep it up.

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I read a dumb comment and spent a few seconds saying that it was dumb. Nice try though.

That's still taking time out of your day and finding something to be a douchebag about, contribute to the conversation or keep your mean bully bullshit to yourself.

Why do you have to ruin good things? I dont like taylor swift but if you do what does that have to do with the artist itself. Her music can be good while shes a bad person.

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

think of michael jackson. what is it...21 video testemonies of children saying he licked their buttholes? thats why we do not listen to his shit.you cannot seperate the artist from the art.
