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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
It's really about who litters surely?
Surface level - yeah I suppose? What about those who make it, those who don't dispose of it correctly, then those in waste management who don't care where it ends up?
It seems everyone in that chain has a responsibility of waste management. When costs inflate and services are reduced we see increased fly-tipping, and litter produced by uncollected bins, as well as shoddy disposal.
I think it's closely related to the broken window theory. One broken window = more crime. Some litter = more litter. Most are led by influence.
I think you've hit it on the head with everyone in the chain being responsible- and I've never heard of the broken window theory but it makes alot of sense.
