I am scared (slrpnk.net)

I took this picture this morning. Mid December in Belgium and it is definitely not normal. The following scenario rolled out in my head: what if all plants bloom in December, don't get pollinated, then when bees wake up there's no food, they are decimated. Wouldn't that be a huge biological collapse?

I'm no expert in anything, just wanted to share this picture and thoughts

The whole street had these trees (probably 20 on each side), all were in full bloom. I posted this one because the lighting was better.


Also I disagree with you, I think each aborted fetus releases one gigajoule in the atmosphere.

Well, the gays would've passed those trees too, obviously. Also you're right about the fetuses but that doesn't affect the climate lol how would that even work i am very smart

Very smart but you don't know that both the gays and fetuses have their own weather dominator, smh.

I shall include this into my worldview without a second thought.

The Deep State and The Lizard People hold frequent interventions about my worldview, but I won't let that stop me!

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.
