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.

Sure, blame the kids. Not like that's exactly what previous generations have done or anything. All I see here is more blame-shifting and passing the buck.
I mean it explicitly says it’s not Gen Z’s fault they don’t have the requisite training. They want to learn more than the rest of the population, there just aren’t good opportunities to learn the relatively niche skills.
I totally agree the article should have been written way better, and I question why it focuses on just gen z when a lack of sustainable talent seems like a multigenerational problem, but improving training being most critical for gen Z as they will be taking over more and more of the workforce in the oncoming years (critically during the window of opportunity to reverse more of the effects of climate change) makes sense to me
Maybe it was written by a Gen Z
Happy cake day!
It's so ironically beautiful that accessing the report costs $1.3K...
O mighty pirates of the high seas, I need your help!!!
It's not yet on Sci-Hub.
Last I heard, Sci-Hub isn't accepting new publications. ☹️
Oh fuck, that sucks.
Oh. So the problem is the people who have been in the workforce all of two fucking years and who are likely so low ranking that they are nowhere in any position to make a difference even with their own work schedule.
Not the people who have been in charge for decades, dragging their feet, misleading, buying/funding shit candidates, gaming the market, and who still openly deny climate change.
Fuck outta here.
We raised them poorly, as a joke!
Eeeevil Betty.

Linked-in has a vested interested in making its users feel overvalued.
As if you need to be highly educated to realise building more wind turbines would be better than burning coal?
But it kill bird and makes whales gay! Coal is only carbon with is in diamond which is something you buy loved ones.
I dk I was trying think what trump would say and it hurt my head.
There’s actually already a solution for it, but right now it only focuses on endangered birds.
Good candidate for nationalization, that is, if we lived in a country that cared about solving it and not just coming up with excuses to prop up fossil fuels.
They didn't pay enough to prove they're smart enough to change the system I take advantage of and will do everything in my power to stop people from destroying it because I need to get rich!
What’s all this I hear about them lacking skills, is it true? Did they not have computer class in school, or mess around with computers when they were kids, installing games and shit? Making their own websites on geocities or whatever?
Geocities were gone before Gen Z was born. They were born after 2000 and grew up with tablets and apps. A Gen Z family member of mine learned about file folders from me after the age of 18.
Yeah, coding skills are the only relevant skills....especially for combating climate change......
Tech is pretty relevant to climate change. Technology experts are definitely not the only relevant people to it though, of course social/political experts are generally more important, considering the current state of capitalists' handling of impending environmental catastrophe...
