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.

They colour matched Trump
Trump is still pink white. The makeup perhaps functions like the masks that entertainment wrestlers wear.
Incredible protest
Good for them to actually vandalise something relevant to the protest this time.
Yes, it’s my favorite form of protest: easily ignorable, and sparking no conversation.
The worst part about Vincent Van Soup is that people still talk about it two years later. Or maybe the worst part is that it still prompts people to ask “Is climate change really so dire that they were justified?” and have very long conversations about it.
Terrible!
I prefer Orange Paint. Nobody will remember Orange Paint by tomorrow, and that’s what I call a good protest.

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.
don't criticize fellow opposition members.
This was the policy in Hong Kong.
I sure as hell will.
Same. Idiots make it less, not more likely to see actual change.
If I went out and smeared yogurt in the face of every kid in a stroller to call attention to the cause, please stop me.
