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.
opposing renewable energy = threatening to take your money in exchange for fossil fuels
fossil fuels promoters do not simply promote, they bully and threaten with violence your choice to buy elsewhere
I'd be interested who organizes, agitates, and finances such insanity.
I don't have proof, but I think the 2018 Gilet Jaunes in France, which protested against a fuel tax, were an influence campaign. They were mentioned in the Epstein-Bannon emails.
Similar the "Farmers protests" in Germany 2023 which blocked motorways because fuel subsidies were planned to be shortened - they targeted the social democrat - Greens - liberal "Ampel" government.
My guess would be Heritage Foundation. Since they have working many parts of the world, including AU.
Nah! The Gilet Jaune came from a righteous place, it could have been co-opted but at the first they were protesting the end of the accessible Diesel program. The France gov a couple of year prior started a program asking people to buy diesel car (because they’re more efficient and produce less atmospheric gaz, etc.) at a discount. Fast forward to 2018 and the gov said « woopsie we don’t care anymore », now a bunch of low and middle middle class see their wallet being press for Big Gaz Companies’s profit and they got angry, knowing the French they took the streets and burn their city.
This is why we can't have nice things.
What the actual fuck is this idiocy?
One Nation Voters?
I guess Water World was a documentary.
Our way of life is being destroyed. We like it that way and we will fight you if you try to fix it!
