I think this sends a much stronger message than stone henge

Almost as if when you target the problem it sends a better message than doing some random shit.

So close together? Probably not. Look at the comments. everyone is just talking about Stonehenge.

And that's the kind of protest that people get behind.

Yeah, this I can get behind. Fuck those guys painting Stonehenge, but this? Yeah, go ahead.

Controversial opinion: whats the point of stonehenge if there is no humanity? Its not like it fosters some ecosystem or smth for other species, its a historical piece which holds sentimental value to us humans.

If we continue to use oil, we will for sure fuck up humanity. The act was controversial but the message needs to be looked at

The guys doing Stonehenge at least tried. They used a powder they thought would just come off in the rain.

It hasn't rained yet.

The Stone Henge people are saying that the water, lichen, and powder would have reacted badly. I do not have the education to know if that's true or not.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

Wait a minute, that doesn't sound like painting at all!

They leveled up today.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

Great stuff! Disappointing that the article didn't mention how they managed to get on the tarmac.

There's usually nothing more than a chain-link fence.

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.
