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:

These are our forests. They belong to the US people. They're being stolen from us. For private profit of a few.
You stole that whole country
"They're gonna chop down national forests"
"bUt WhAT aBoUt ThE iNdIaNs???"
bruh
more like ‘now you care? lol’
Sorry I didn't care 400 years ago. I'll try harder.
How many cared when it was decided there would be an oil pipeline through the pittance they were relegated to? More land stolen, and everything around it polluted in time to add insult to injury.
Did you care then, just a few years ago?
I mean, people didn't do nothing.

Not near enough to actually change a damn thing though, was it?
I mean shit, the company responsible is now trying to take down Greenpeace -the entire entity- in court over the whole affair, it is that confident in how fucked the US judicial system is.
They got to choose where to hold a trial with global ramifications, and tainted the entire possible jury pool by restricting it to some poxy little oil town that would cease to exist if not for the oil industry.
How many of you turned out to protest that?
that’s better than nothing but that’s self interest and farmers were right to be worried
none of that changes anything on a national level nor changed the actual outcome so the criticism is still valid
it’s happening to native lands in the US while we speak, the fact you are not even aware earns the ‘lol’
Americans get real mad when confronted with their hypocrisy.
What country are you from, and how many people did it ship over to north america to colonize it?
We didn't export criminals.
And besides the point, it's about admitting it happened.
Which is very difficult for Americans looking at the angry reactions.
lol this thread full of privileged white Americans is whining about takes and then you drop this and it’s upvoted
double down on the hypocrisy guys
yep
The opinion of people who write like this can't be take seriously
