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.
The short-term survival and domination of the shittiest species ... the sequel he never published.
This was very brave. I applaud these activists. We should all do the same until politics listen and act accordingly.
Not graffiti on smooth stonework! Winston, fetch my clutching pearls!
And again they are getting attention.
I strongly suspect a funding channel originating from fossil-fuel producers.
Okay, assume that's the case.

I keep seeing counterpoints that assume that intent informs effectiveness, when that's demonstrably just not the case. If your statement is relevant, that means you must be able to draw a causal link between that hypothesis being true and the campaign being ineffective.
Every time I see something like this my brain always assumes it's people that actually have the opposite goal and are just trying to make actual activism look bad. Like how all of the "stop smoking" ads are made by tobacco companies. But in all honesty it's probably just me overthinking it and these guys are just dumb.
What "stop smoking" ads are made by tobacco companies? When googling, I found a "Philip Morris-funded Foundation for a Smoke-free World", but nothing about ads.
