Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

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.

Climate change must be stopped by any means necessary. Start doing what must be done. You know what that means.

It's not enough. We (rich and not so rich) must either consume less, or be less people.

The first route involves changing technologies AND habits. And I'm not talking about recyclable bags or save water at home.

You change habits by making it more expensive to do unsustainable shit. Very few states here in the US are willing to properly tax carbon emissions. Very few Americans are willing to remove the subsidies that the beef industry enjoys which would see steak at $35/lb.

Just saying "consume less" does very little. People respond to incentives. Peoples' wallets are big incentives.

On the other hand, this problem is global. We all need to work together in order to succeed. That's the hardest part.

What does that mean? I'm a little slow over here, but happy to help.

Economic sabotage and guerrilla warfare if necessary

Big words, why don't you go ahead and show us how it's done then? Or are you just going to chest pound from behind your monitor?
