Good for them, we need way more of this.
Honestly yes, I don't think people truly realise how deeply in the shitter we are. Best outcome would be to duck off with it now, in a year. Carbon zero. But this won't happen.
If you use any modern product you wint be carbon zero. So please stop wearing clothes, using the internet , living in a home, eating any type of food.
You're right, since the only two options are the destruction of the planet or to stop using literally anything ever at all, I guess I'll fucking kill myself now
Yes? That's why we'd have to go after the corporations, the problem arises at production. Truth is we're overpopulated because of the bosch-haber cycle, which is fueled by fossil fuels.
The alternative is certain extinction
How about we lower our collective emissions by tossing you into a volcano, instead? Would you like that?
Just like my ancestors
I think most people are more than aware of climate change and climate change issue
As a matter of fact they are not. Otherwise we would see a drastic shift in policy and voting behaviour, given how strongly the climate changed in the past decade. But instead people vote conservative and reactionary again, after they lost their homes in wildfires, floods and storms that can be reliably linked to climate change, and whose occurence renders their home area unliveable in the long run.
We had a flood two years ago in Germany killing over 200 people. Our former conservative party, now populist reactionary, removed a law for flood protection just two month prior to the devastating flood. And the people most affected voted for them again in the upcoming election. And that was after the parties chancellor candidate laughed heartily in the background while the president held a speech mourning the victims.
The people are either dumb, or ignorant or both. They'd rather die than change anything in the slightest way.
Go on Facebook and look for the comment section of news coverage on EVs or anything climate related. They are at most vaguely familiar with the issue, or deny it in some shape or form
No don't if your going protest do it right your not sending a message by disrupting someone's nice day out your just going be a nuisance plus why a gaming convention what the fuck does a gaming convention have to do with the environment
100% agree. Just being a nuisance isn't enough. These protestors really ought to be attacking fossil fuel execs.
folks need to start causing real, material damage to fossil infrastructure at the least
this wont stop unless the expenses of fossil fuels outweigh the profits, and people need to become those expenses
That's a more ideal way of doing targeting big businesses and fossil fuel execs through peaceful forms of protesting a good example of this is how some people in London and Glasglow are protesting ULEZ by vandalising ULEZ cameras if your going protest make sure it doesn't affect anyone in the general public
You do it then. Be the change you want to see in this world.
It still wouldn't change anything, other then get more security and anonymity for their immediate replacements.
Yeah exactly, that would be protesting against the actual problem not jsut disrupting random shit
What a thing to cowardly type from behind your keyboard you wanker.
What do you recommend? not being disruptive means you are completely ignored by everyone.
Well There's plenty of ways of protesting and getting the word out that don't involve getting in the way or destroying/nicking property you can have peaceful demonstrations ideally populated like a city square where you and a massive crowd of people gather and make your voices heard im fairly certain that's called a rally or you use art as a way of protesting graffiti etc you can also boycott a organisation or government institution and you can do a picket protest as well
That shit doesn’t work.
Real change happens when everyone is pissed.
It worked for tons of demonstrations through out history
List some important global changes that happened because people protested in a way that did not bother anyone.
