I still don't get the reasoning behind these sort of geo engineering projects. Let's say, best case scenario, it works wonders and cools the planet significantly.

The fact that we found a "solution" to the warming temperatures will justify the actions if the corporations pumping tons of CO2 and methane into the atmosphere. If anything, it will encourage them to pollute more, as there is now a way to solve the problem.

De-growth is the only way to actually solve the problem. But since it's not profitable, it won't happen under the current economic system.

If it happens every time, it sort of becomes part of your overall routine. So at least you expect it a bit.

Seriously.... Covid was an eye opener me as well.

It was so much quieter outside. The air was cleaner. Animals were returning to previously deserted areas at remarkable rates.

Everyone was itching to get back to "normal," but normal was what was causing all of the destruction on the first place.

The government should literally be paying people to stay home and do nothing. I remember reading somewhere that it is more cost effective in the long run. Rather than fixing damage and rebuilding cities after increasingly severe natural disasters.

Enshitification intensifies

Every bullet fired, every bomb dropped, is money in the bank for American military corporations. War = $$$

It used to be pretty, but most of the prairie and grasslands have been flattened and replaced with corn, highways, parking lots, and strip malls.

Y'all are way too productive...

And lazy doesn't necessarily mean quick either. Frozen pizza has gotta be the real winner here.

Tbf, I send out emails at the end of the day, right before I leave. I don't expect an immediate answer though. It just takes me that long to motivate myself to write that 4 line email I've been procrastinating all day.

Why though? Do you need to be uncomfortable in expensive clothing to make good laws?

How often do you change tires on your bike vs your car? 200lbs vs 2000lbs to stop is a pretty significant amount.

I honestly believe blocking roads the most effective way to protest in today's society.

It's one of the few ways that's dreamed "illegal" to protest. And most governments will do anything in it's power to clear the roads, including imprison people.

People need to realize that being late to work doesn't actually matter, but the state of the climate does. We need more road blocks. Some without people too, just barricades.
