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 wonder if pirates can come to the rescue by providing uncensored textbooks to students.
How many high school kids will go out of their way to seek out and read extra text books though?
Honestly if you market it the right way, maybe lol.
Just pretend to be qanon and post the text with the title "the stuff the government banned and doesn't want you to see"
Add some nonsensical conspiracy on why it was banned and I feel like you could actually hook a few people.
Oh lord we've come full circle. The government literally doesn't want you to learn the truth!
Wake up sheeple!
“Anarchist’s cookbook” vibes.
“How do you write an environmental science book to appease people who are opposed to climate change?”
They're not opposed to climate change. We're all opposed to climate change. They simply deny that it exists to keep the corporate profits flowing to their big, rich donors.
The irony is climate change doesn't care if they exist or not, either.
The people pushing this don't care, they will be rich enough for the short term effects to not affect them. After that they will be dead from old age. They just want to extract the max before they leave this place, as is their tradition as the boomer generation.
It's our children and our children's children who are in big trouble and they have proven many times not to give a fuck about children.
I've said that about a great many things over the last few years. One of my favorites is, "The Covid virus doesn't care whether you believe that it exists or that it will kill you or people that you love. It doesn't have a dogmatic political identity. It's a strand of RNA. It is apolitical."
I call that pro-climate change. They clearly favor accelerating it.
Good point.
That’s ok the repeated Cat5+s will teach the children anecdotally
That took me a second, I was wondering what Ethernet cables had to do with this...
When I moved from Florida to Connecticut years ago, I already felt so behind in college. I can’t imagine how little an education going to be worth to this population outside of Florida in the future.
We need something like themissingpages.com where kids/teachers can download a nice book specific supplement for their textbooks. Same font and language style, similar art…
Obviously the information is out there for anyone interested to find. But this would be a nice fuck-you :-)
"Climate change not a thing" says state about two inches above sea level.
I guess the good thing is that this problem will eventually solve itself.
It would hurt property values if people were afraid to buy on the coast
Happy drowning Florida. 🌊
Definitely should build a wall. Call it… America’s cock ring.
For fucks sake, ron
Much like Three Diary of Anne Frank or Maus- it must be removed because it's too sexy for young minds.
