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:

To be honest, that is bot surprising to me. The group broke into airports caused massive damage to Public property and more.

The methods of the last generation are nor helpful to the goals for our climate and cause more damage in the public eye

I used to think that. However, we've had lots of peaceful protests and whatnot.

That did not seem to do anything and time ran out awhile ago.

I am with you on that point. And I didn't mention stuff like road blocks, because I see them related to the issue and they may yield some results.

But a large part of the population oposses the last generation and in extension what they are trying to do.

Not that I have a good solution.

I am nearly 40 now, and fighting in this fight since I am 16. I know how much was done and that nothing happened on a political layer.

But giving politicians such a large attack surface by committing serious crimes (and braking onto the airfield of an airport is a serious crime) is not very smart

I'm a bit past 40 and experience shows me that nothing has worked so far. I don't have a solution either.
