cause why not and cause i'm quite bored and i'm sure you all are too
idk, like, a couple weeks ago it was blazing hot but all of a sudden it's almost as cold as early spring, meaning like 10 or 5 celsius.
which is quite weird, but possibly not fully related to climate change
there's been a bunch of tornadoes in alberta, which is quite unusual, even though it's a big flat place which is a tornado's heaven.
depressing i guess

What's there to talk about?
The world is heating up, and we're all gonna die.
Be green, and don't worry about it.

It's more about the weather severity increase then the heat at this point, which is why most people call it 'climate change' instead of 'global warming'. The weather might even be worse then the heat. |

People on an individual level can't do anything; it's corporations and governments that need to take action. Every government aside from Syria, Nicaragua and America have signed the Paris agreement, and Syria hasn't because it's in the middle of a civil war and Nicaragua thought it wasn't strong enough and has it's own much stricter environmental policies. That just leaves America as the only country not taking action, and because I doubt anyone can convince the executive branch of the federal government that the Paris agreement is good what you need to do is just three simple things:
1: Call your congressmen (both your representative and your senator) and tell them that you care about environmental policy.
2: Call your state legislature with a similar message.
3: Organize (or join) groups to issue boycotts of companies that are damaging for the environment, and organize large-scale adoption of alternative energy.

We were in the Paris Agreement, but Trump withdrew us. So we did take action, just not for very long. |

We were in the Paris Agreement, but Trump withdrew us. So we did take action, just not for very long. the funny thing is that i'm not american, and i'm currently in a state of disliking america due to the poor choices the entirety of the country has made. but, that is just me blaming trump's actions on everyone else, and nobody is in any position to do that. anyways, i've already sent an email to a speaker who was at my school recently on certain problematic causes which have to do with the environment around us in general, having to do with her explaining that it was necessary to shame people who smoke and who have done drugs, but that's a different problem altogether. however, the war on drugs is being fought against with the incorrect tactics, and it's making things worse, but i have knowledge on what you're legitimately supposed to to without any smokers or drug addicts, the world will obviously be a much better place and more concern can be put into the environment, which, as i said, makes it have to do with the entire issue in general. |

smoking and doing drugs isn't the big problem
governments and corporations are doing most of it
and aside from that, shaming people for anything is generally a terrible plan
there are better and more effective ways to encourage them to stop than to scar them with ridicule

No, it's just that I always say things in my threads that have relation to the topic but only have an amount that nobody can pick up, and then everyone points out how I said isn't relevant, and then more arguments start. So can we just stop here? Please..? |

idk, like, a couple weeks ago it was blazing hot but all of a sudden it's almost as cold as early spring, meaning like 10 or 5 celsius. which is quite weird, but possibly not fully related to climate change I'd like to take a moment to talk about this, because it's important. Global warming, also known as climate change (Which is a more accurate term and you'll find out why), is more than simply the heating of Earth's atmosphere. Global warming concentrates it's effects, and also causes rain and cooler temperatures. If you were to look at a map of the climate, you will find many areas parts of the earth which are under extreme cases of drought right next to areas which are experiencing heavy rain. Actually, it's not even uncommon to see these spots of heavy rain surrounded by drought areas and vice versa. In addition, if you were to bring up a region getting cooler as an argument against climate change, you would need to make a helluva case since when speaking of the global climate as we do in climate change the amount of weight that a single region's change in climate as evidence holds very little worth. Just figured it'd be fun to share. |
