A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Couldn't the massive fires (energy and compounds generated) exacerbate these values?
Don't make me say what I didn't say.
We know that one of the worst producers of greenhouse gases is cattle, so, eating a plant based diet would do wonders for the world.
But people prefer to complain and do nothing.
"But what about China, India, the US, private jets" they said after ordering a steak.
"My private jet emits nothing compared to all those people eating beef, the CEO said"
"Why should we as a developing country need to cut carbon while families in rich countries have 2 cars and eat steak"
And in the meantime the world kept getting warmer. Whataboutism is going to be the end of us. Some people/countries are not going to care. This means that those who do are unfortunately going to have to do more. Not throw in the towel.
Instead we should be doing everything we can and tell others to do the same. While doing this, doing what we can to keep it fair to get more people on board.
Tl;dr: Go vegan. I can do it and I'm not special, so you can do it too.
Relevant vlogbrothers video about why this particular summer is hotter.

Isolated islands catching on fire because it's so goddamn hot doesn't feel like surviving.
