Have to admit, Extinction Rebellion is a pretty good name for an activist group.

And a damn cool sounding band name

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 23 points 8 months ago

ITT: bots, trolls, and plain old fools angrier with this woman for demanding that we stop climate change than with the mega corps trying to cause long-term devastation for short-term gain.

Billion or even trillion, more like.

There's like 1 guy. I mean, I know there are masses of angry chuds out there who hate her(and also not-so-secretly lust after her, which is beyond sick) but in this thread there's just the one.

P.S. the other is a troll who is using sarcasm wrong.

Check /r/europe threads about her.

She's an adult, isn't she? Why would it be "beyond sick" to find her attractive?

Greta is an inspiration

[-] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

She is one of the most influential activists in a generation. I greatly admire her dedication and commitment. She's been arrested like half a dozen times now, and she shows no sign whatsoever of backing down.

[-] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago

the hero we need

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Jokes on then Greta is invincible to being jailed

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 14 points 8 months ago

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.
