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:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

I'll note that heat stroke victims in Phoenix are more likely to survive this year than in the past due to ambulances stocking body bags full of ice.

So dramatic. There's a difference between shadenfreude and celebrating death.

Ah yes "they deserved it, good" = Shadenfreude, not totally being an asshole without empathy. Time to go to a local oncology center and shadefreude conservatives with cancer, huh?

You need to learn about nuance. Thanks for letting us know that shadenfreude is bad, karma is bad, fuck around and find out is also bad, do stupid stuff and win stupid prizes is bad, irony, also bad, leopards eating faces, beleive it or not, bad. Let's all pour one out for aggressive drivers getting speeding tickets, all the bullies out there who got punched back, and anytime justice is a served while we're at it. If someone displays any emotion besides unbridled empathy for adults inflicting misery on themselves in all situation, bad!

Way to go with the slippery slope fallacy huh, buddy. First of all - you shouldn't feel satisfaction when someone gets hurt. No matter if they are speeding, if they were overeating or if they smoked.

Let's also not call this "any emotion". This is "feeling satisfaction because of others surffering".

So I took a browse through your comment history out of idle curiosity. You're an "um actually" concern troll that just looks for things to argue about. It's pretty obvious you don't actually care. Maybe you shouldn't feel satisfaction with being a contrarian assbag for entertainment.

Amazing, discrediting someone for being a "concern troll". Or maybe I don't like it when people get hurt and call out people who wish others harm. Because yaknow, I'm not a horrible person.

Comparing schadenfreude with wanting a genocide does not a good person make.

[–] spidermanchild 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Slippery slope would be the person comparing self-inflicted heat stroke whilst supporting a fascist climate denier to getting cancer. Let's make sure nobody ever has to face consequences for their actions ever again, what a noble fight! Thank you for making the world a better place.

Facing the consequences of their actions, and a different person going "oh yes let them die en masse I feel so satisfied" is two entirely different things
