The solution is of course to persecute trans people.

Don’t forget about deporting entire families if just one of them is here illegally.

It’s not too late to start Project Sundial

Blow a hole in the atmosphere, set half the planet on fire, and if anything miraculously survives, nuclear winter’s older sibling will wreck their shit.

The science shows the current predicament and the fact that any “good things” are based on the idea of massive reforms (or even revolutions) occurring. This makes it very easily to estimate how bad the situation is based on what’s not happening.

As the climate chaos gets worse, it’s reasonable to expect more bad news, not less.

I wish you were correct, but the popular press is usually loaded with optimism, especially techno-optimism.

Meanwhile, history shows that periods of instability and crisis can provide fertile ground for rapid, positive change. This is the other side to derailment risk.

The conditions for doom loops also provide opportunities to accelerate virtuous circles. For example, out of the crises of the interwar period and the devastation of the second world war came legal protections for human rights, universal welfare systems and decolonisation. More recently, the first Trump administration spurred new waves of climate activism.

Great positive message.

That rapid change can be caused by or result in massive upheaval and damage.

Just like it mentions WW2. It’d be great if that didn’t have to happen, though.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Create post

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.
