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.

Using water-soluble paint is not the way.
Using soup is not the way.
Using powder that will wash itself away is not the way.
Blocking a street for a couple hours is not the way.
Glueing yourself to a pole is not the way.
What is the way then? Sitting quietly in the corner? Signing a petition on Change.org? Waiting for the politician that takes oil money to have a change of heart?
But all those actions are exactly same as signing petition. Just louder and in many cases made more about the protesters then the protest. It's more like doing something so that you feel you tried and media writes about it which males you feel like you did the change. But nature doesn't give two shits about the protests neither is the current economy of consumption which leads us to the disaster. Being on the internet, discussing this matter right now is contributing to the problem and only shows that our life style, which we are happy with is the problem.
And yeah blocking the street causes much more pollution plus losses off everyone, so not sure what's the goal there either
I don't claim to have the answer, but this is not the answer. Ruining a unique unsolvable mystery of human past is dumb. Who's feathers does it ruffle anyway?
