Help FORCE the rich pay back what was done (by them) to the climate
(eci.ec.europa.eu)
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.
I don't get whats going on with e.g. Poland. Like literally I don't understand it. Under 5%. Is this a cultural thing? Or was it simply not promoted enough?
Meanwhile france close to 200 freaking percent. Germany 150.
It's completely incomprehensible to me how something like this can't be massively successful. We should already have three times the necessary votes by now
We must push this petition under all circumstances
Fully agree. I have been able to collect some signatures among my friends and relatives (in Germany). Unfortunately, I don't know how I could help in other countries / languages. At most with upvotes of the relevant posts and in general spread the word.
And I have just noticed that the initiative's website (https://www.tax-the-rich.eu/) with all the important information is only available in 6 languages. Polish is not included. That could be a reason. Things like this are an oversight we need to address (next time..).
