Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

The sickness of Earth requires us to become more radical. Because when we see that the system is unable to regulate itself to take care of Earth, it shows that the system doesnt work. The foundations has to change. The discussion has to be, how did the system lead us here? And how can we rebuild society from a healthy foundation?

Being radical is necessary.

But we are not radical in our language. Even those who conciders themselves radicals are very conservative with their word usage.

In particular, we keep on using words from academia, capitalism and classical left wing think tanks. The communist will talk about the borgoisie and proletariat - The climate activists will talk about co2 footprint, the consumer and overconsumption - The academia frames everything in terms of problems and solutions.

We need to examine the words we use, and allow ourselves to relight our language towards a remediated language. Where we stop being part of the machine, and start being part of the global networks of life in Earth.

Because without the willingness of changing your language, you show unwillingness to be the change you want to see.

In this spirit, I have made the thinktank oakism. Founded on 5 frames.

Cohold ٨٨ - To help those who needs it. Allmen ٨ - Let humans be in center of power, not grippers. Degrip 🪰 - To prevent grip. Nurture 🌻 To grow ourselves and our peers. Colife 🐝 To live with, not against nature and our peers.

Oakism is an approach to remediate Earth. To concisely pinpoint attitudes that remediates, and also makes it very visual. Because humans has easier to grasp words when they are visual.

• I know this post is kind of a mess, but I just wanted to post something.

At a closer look, 2023 and 2024 have seen annual highs significantly above those recorded in previous years, the agency said. Another key sign of global warming was that the 10 years with the highest daily average temperatures are the last 10 years, 2015 to 2024.

” Ordinary people are taking matters into their own hands today to do what our criminal governments have failed to do. We are putting our bodies on the wheels of the machine of the global fossil economy and saying oil kills; we refuse to die for fossil fuels and we refuse to stand by while hundreds of millions of innocent people are murdered. We are in resistance against our murderous governments and the criminal elites who are threatening the survival of humanity.

“The climate crisis will not end until every single country has phased out fossil fuels, but those who bear the greatest responsibility and have the greatest capacity must do the most. As citizens of wealthy countries based in the global north, we demand that our governments stop extracting and burning oil, gas and coal by 2030 and that they support and finance other countries to make a fast, fair and just transition. They must sign a Fossil Fuel Treaty to end the war on humanity before we lose everything. “

Methane (CH4) is the second main greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide (CO2). However, while CO2 will persist in the atmosphere for centuries, methane reacts with other air molecules. The lifetime of methane in the atmosphere is approximately nine years, before it is consumed into CO2. CH4 molecules also have a much stronger warming potential than carbon dioxide: 84 times larger on a 20-year time scale. That's why reducing methane emissions can have immediate and relatively effective impact on our climate.

The European Union (EU) has recently voted unprecedented measures to reduce our emissions, but what is concerned by this law?

What emits methane?

In Europe, emissions are mainly from agriculture (38% in 2022, JRC 2023), through the digestive system of ruminants. (...)

A significant part (globally 30% in 2017 Saunois et al., 2020) of anthropogenic emissions, meaning from human activities, comes from the fossil fuel industry. (...)

In Europe, the majority of methane emissions caused by the fossil fuel industry is from leaks.

Things are starting to change

In 2020, the European Commission announced the creation of the international methane emissions observatory (IMEO). Then, in November 2023, came a series of measures designed to tackle methane emissions from the fossil fuel industry, as part of the "European Green Deal," and passed by a majority vote on 10 April 2024.
