You mean the more “ethical” capitalists are abandoning the people? Wild.

[-] solo@piefed.social 22 points 1 day ago

Yep. To my understanding, in the Nordic model, capitalism continues to devour all socialist tendencies.

The entire world is electing right wing populists right now, little to do with the Nordic model.

The Nordic model's approach is relevant in imo, because this article is about Sweden, and because this path proved not be safe from capitalism taking over. This does not contradict what you said, that the entire world is electing right wing populists right now. It is a reminder that this is a mechanism that capitalism traditionaly uses to resolve its crises.

I mean, as long as you give people choice, there will be those who disagree with you.

You want to prevent right-wing populists from taking over, kill them all. But then are you better than them?

Yep I mean these people are stopping things already done and rushing headlong into a disaster.

yup. the nordic model is only sustainable if you ignore who suffers under it: the people where the oil is extracted, the indigenous Sami people, and people of the Romani diaspora.

Whoa, brother.

Are you asking Nordic Europeans to not be racist?

Thats just completely unacceptable.

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.
