Prince William’s Climate Prize Hired PR Firm Tied to Brazilian Fossil Fuel Industry

The whole point of a PR firm is attempting to make rich dickheads, whom didn't really earn their money, look less like dickheads...

They'd have no customers left...

Edit: Spelling

Since we're correcting spelling, might as well go for grammar too. It should be "who" here. Easy way to tell is replace whom with "him" (or who with "he") and see if the sentence still makes sense.

Sure, but there is a difference between dickheads who didn't earn their money because they exploited employees and dickheads that commit genocide on native Brazilian populations.

Though to be fair, Prince William also has ties with dickheads that are committing genocide in Palestine and that commited genocide in Ireland, Bengal, Canada, Australia, and countless other places on account of the whole "heir to the crown of Britain" business.

Does anyone have clean hands anymore? Our choices are the lesser evil, but still evil.

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.
