What do you think happens to people during large scale natural disasters? You don’t get to act indignant and ignorant at the same time.

They’re right. You’re being an asshole.

What do I think happens to people? Considering it's the internet, and my comment was tangential enough to the topic that I didn't think I'd need to write an essay because someone got their feefees hurt after baking in the sun too long.

I'll make sure to donate to a life-vest or pool-floaty fund or something to make up for it.

You’re trying too hard now.

horrific to see the fear of losing literally everything derided as “fee fees getting hurt.”

anyone who actually thinks florida sinking memes are funny is clearly coming from a place of notable privilege or affluence. i’d expect this kind of behavior from r/conservative, but i guess some of the neoliberal community are showing their true colors right here on c/climate.

“fuck the poor lmao i only care about the aesthetics of climate activism; the actual harm of climate change on the ground is irrelevant to me.”

Neoliberalism is a conservative ideology so it would be on /r/conservative. It’s the ideology of the 90’s and 2000’s GOP up through Trump. Despite “liberal” in the name it’s not actually “liberal” as we know it.

But yes otherwise totally agree with you.

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.
