    Oh look dibiliating extreme weather from Exxon billion dollar lying campaign. Exxon destroys.

    Because they bribed politicians to prevent ending carbon fuels.

    The bribed politicians are still delaying, standing in our way.

    It’s starting to look like they dont just not care, but actually want the climate collapse, like an attack?

    To support a billionaire world coup?

    INSIST ON NEW ENERGY

        regular coups in Thailand when the citizens. elect politicians the military don’t like. They’ve since rewritten the constitution to retain power and use lese majeste laws and jail for the opposition.

        @UnequalExchange

        The billionaires are couping the world, do you need maps?

        I’m not sure I get your point.

        Gandhi defeated the British occupation with salt. Mere insistence is plenty.

        Is that it?

          …Ah yes ! Insisting things is how younmake a difference. …

          I remember when we insisted that adolph Shitler and emperor hiroShito stop massacring people in our strongly worded letter and they said: "Oooopsies! Did I just massacre all those people by accident? Oooopsies! Sowwy! I stop now. Peace and love yall. Hmmmmph huggy wuggies.🫂😘🥰❤️‍🩹’

            I dont know what tell you. The second world war was expensive, the salt march was free.

              But it requires bravery up front, not the skittering desperation of waiting for war.

                India isnt independent at all. india was simply given to Indian billionaires and monarchs because the BRits realized that with all their dead soldiers from WWII they couldnt hold onto their former colonies AMD they could control India more effectively by installing puppet governments that will send most of the reources and labour of manufactured goods to britain through things like the international monetary fund, world trade organization and world bank. Even today Indian workers trades away so much of its resoirces and labours to european and north american billionaires through unequal exchange trade deals.

                THIS is why India is still poor today despite being one of the largest producers and exporters of materials globally. The same can be said for places like Nigeria, South Africa, The Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil, amd even some parts of CHina and Vietnam. Large population centres with many workers and a.lot of resources …and yet…STILL so poor over 60 years later?..How? Oh thats right, most of their labour goes to billionaires in the global north and australia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RExOGAf3DM0&pp=ygUQdW5lcXVhbCBleGNoYW5nZQ%3D%3D

                    oh sorry. That was the wrong video.

                    This one should be better : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rjLmYCfKU7o&pp=ygUQdW5lcXVzbCBleGNoYW5nZQ%3D%3D and this too: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ATKBU32rWGs&pp=ygUTb3ZlcnplYWxvdHMgc29tYWxpYQ%3D%3D and also this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DtziEZAR1Qk&t=56s&pp=ygUQdW5lcXVhbCBleGNoYW5ncg%3D%3D

                    See , every country on the planet except North Korea is a part of the imf, wto and world bank. They are all involved in Unequal Exchange trade deals…except North Korea of course lol. That includes in India too. So the british government( akd all thebother global north governments too) knows they can control India through bribing Indian politicians to just allow these Unequal Exchange Deals to be preached to the Indian people as ‘just business, completely normal, it is what it is’ …and these Indian politicans have successfully done this for the past 80 years of Indian independence.

                    I follow Nigeria politics a bit sinfe mt relatives live there…and… yup…things work the same way there too.

            HEY Look some Indians are still massively defeating the world billionaire oil / coal conspiracy.

            The idea of covering agricultural canals with solar cells, which is now saving California billions of gallons of water, was first installed in India.

            Build victories.

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.
