The UK is following in other European countries footsteps with new powers to break up the climate group's slow marches.

    I’m perhaps a little pedantic but if the new law is that interfering with national infrastructure (including roads) is a crime then surely the police should have been detained as well?

    “At 10:10am, a number of Metropolitan police arrived and began pushing the Just Stop Oil supporters back and forming a chain across the road,” they said.

    After all the police formed a chain across the road which would’ve seriously held up traffic.

      It’s gonna get worse as more people realize we’re fucked if we let the oil companies have their way. I assume they’ll buy armies to protect their interests.

        They already have? The police’s job is to protect the wealthy’s assets. Always has been.

            In the US, we had a Canadian pipeline firm paying to have protesters arrested

          Thing is that pretty much every big public event does that. I don’t see the same fury over football matches or marathons, which tells me that the objection is the message, not the action.

      Yeah I listened to an interview with Roger Hallam on Radio 4 with Nick Robinson and he sounded completely nuts. It was eerily similar to the Charles Manson type cult fearmongering about an impending societal collapse. In particular he seems fixated on the idea of mass sexual violence somehow being caused by climate change?

      These people have a messiah complex and their basic instincts are anti-democratic. If their solutions to the climate crisis were politically appealing then people would vote for them; they can’t compete in the market place of ideas and so they’ve taken to being a nuissance.

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: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

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