Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.
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.
Let's make this simple.
Elon for example is worth 180 billion. His private jet, which costs $17k/yr to refill, is worth $62 million, or 0.03% of his net worth.
The average person, maybe lower middle class to middle class, is let's say worth about $250,000. If they bought or leased a car worth $45k, that would be 18% of their net worth.
It is probably the equivalent, or LESS than the equivalent of someone in the middle class, buying a candy bar. And they can do it over and over again with no repercussions.
And jet fuel is incredibly pollutant, and billionaires pollute millions of more times in general than the average person.
I'm fully in support of these protesters and hope they don't stop.
They are legends, they've painted super yachts, blocked private jets, and targeted golf courses to protest unnecessary emissions from the wealthy, which may as well be a paid-group by fossil fuel companies to divert attention from them being the biggest fucking problem.
The wealthy answer will be to have these activists convicted for terrorism for invading an airport
The American way
hells yes
Omg, finally..
Finally, we have caught up to the orcas in climate action.
If/when they get caught, this shit is a great use of jury nullification.
Fuck ther shit up until they gain a conscience
Well I don't know if them gaining a conscience is realistic. But if doing the wrong thing becomes too costly and inconvenient they might stop doing those things. Well... they might do slightly less wrong things.
It'll be cheaper to remove those who make it expensive.
Golf, lol. How are they going to make sales and network? ( and get drunk and basically have the day off. )
