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: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Just received more legal papers for the crime of a 30 minute protest march. I'm now up to 153 pages for this one protest. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

The UK government are set on eroding any right to protest that is left. Please do anything you can. I don't care what banner you do it under, just please do something.

Michel Forst, the UN Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders, has scalded the government for their draconian crackdown on any people trying to sound the alarm but as we've seen recently, there is no justice system and countries cannot and will not hold each-other to account. You can read his report here.

There's always someone victim blaming like you isn't there.

Asking for evidence isn't what victim blaming is.

Trumps indictment was only 45 pages. Op's was 150 pages. If they were only holding a sign, it should be far less. Op also is weaseling their way out of providing info on what is on those pages, other than the main charge. OP is CLEARLY withholding information they can easily provide, which provides the info we need to make a more informed decision. It's suss they haven't

OP also admitted they're already known to police for vandalism involving paint (and then stupidly tried to suggest it wasn't vandalism, since they managed to clean it up lol). And that should be a redflag...

We're not being given the full story. I knew my opinion wouldn't be popular. But I actually do care about the environment, and it makes us all look stupid if OP turns out to be downplaying everything.

Fun fact: an act of vandalism could also be an act of protest at the same time 🤯
