hey, did you know that the ocean would emit sulfur at 5C warming?

I don't ask people about their politics. I just act like true things are true, e.g.: human instigated climate change, COVID, the efficiency of a single payer healthcare system, a oblate spheroid earth, and the moon landing. I'm politely understanding of the flaws in their world view, but I NEVER pretend that any of it is even up for debate. You can balance not being rude with not backing down from the objective reality you live in by showing an genuine fascination with their weird cult beliefs.
Conspiracy theories, religion, myths, and magic are all very comfortable fantasies that wither in the face of the existential dread from understanding that the universe is horrific and absolutely indifferent to your personal suffering. Being excellent to each other and maintaining faith in the potential of humanity (tempered by knowledge of our depravity) is our only hope of survival both physical, philosophical, political, and spiritual.
Ok, sorry that turned into a rant. This shit matters though, so not that sorry.
Basically my attitude. For objective facts I refuse to pretend they aren’t objective facts.
I can't manage to maintain any faith in the potential of humanity but maybe that's because I'm a little too depraved.
Wait. Was I not supposed to be talking about this? Next you're going to tell me that sewage treatment is an innapropriate dinner party topic.
i do not talk to the tiny group of ultrarich who make the meaningful climate decisions
The idea is we all six degrees of Kevin Bacon it.
you should let lead do the talking anyway
The ones who we need to stop pleasing first is corps and company's.
They are the pme who make up like 70 % of emissions
They're not doing that independently of the products and services they provide. Over consumption is a big issue and narratives like this shirk personally responsibility and promote the bystander effect.
On the contrary, we need to hold these corps accountable
So talking with your fellow people should primarily be about how to do that and not you thinking about how to not be pleasent about it
and companies*.
This is such a stupid statistic. Do you think those companies were burning fossil fuels purely for fun? Or perhaps they’re making things that people subsequently buy?
This is a bullshit argument. People will make do with what they have. Do you think People suddenly woke up one day and demanded soft drinks to be created?
Not everything in life is about making money you know? Everybody will have a better time if we dialed the greed down from 11.
Does this sulfur emission process cool the ocean?
Isn't that what they want, since they already sold their soul? Just making themselves a bit comfortable with the sulfur.
