No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I swear the concept of doing two things at once is lost on nearly everyone on the internet who clutch their pearls.
The doomscrolling rot has infected their minds lol. They overemphasize the effects of climate change while ignoring everything good and green people are doing which is literally countering said climate change through mitigation and adaptation.
Yet... somehow they want to freeze the entirety of the world, magically build enough wind, solar, and hydro to power everything, then just... turn it back on again.
Yeah, literally everyone would do that if they could. It's not how reality works lol. Prepare for greenwashing comments for quoting studies that aren't from the 1970s!

I went through 3 of your sources and they claim that we can, in fact, turn to renewable energies. And that we should! None said anything about it being impossible. I guess maybe one of the others will say something like that, but honestly I'm not working to make your point for you.
Everybody except your strawmen agree there's a transition period. The problem is that due to many interests, the powers that be are dragging their feet.
... You never read what I said then because you're just agreeing with me lmfao.
If you agree with what I've said, you need to work your communication skills. Me and everybody who downvoted understood the opposite, and that's not a few.
No, it's downvoted because it goes against Lemmy doomers which are the vast majority of people here lol. You are welcome to try to post hopeful good and correctly cited recent climate news somewhere if you'd like though lol.
Being combative at the start doesn't exactly help but that shit needs to be said in a thread rife with people saying everyone is going to die lol. Who the fuck cares about downvotes if you're speaking factual well cited truth? All of you shouldn't.
Read the information for what it is and have a clue about where it's being said. That's all you need.
