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.

The worst part about Vincent Van Soup is that people still talk about it two years later.

Yeah, talking about what shitheads those people were, not about any meaningful action on the actual issue.

Is the orange paint a good protest? I don't think so. But at least it actually is a protest. The action being taken is actually related to the message they want to convey.

Throwing soup at a painting is not protesting or activism. It's just vandalism while wearing a t-shirt.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"

Really, you're comparing morality the well deserved comeuppance for petty vandalism to the systematic oppression of an entire race? Wow ... that's fucking disgusting, you should be ashamed.

But no point in further arguing with that level of delusion. Have a day.

Throwing soup on a FRAME is hardly vandalism, especially considering no real damage was done.

Crazily enough though, we still talk about it. No one will remember this orange paint.

Its nice of you to so succinctly prove their point.
