Have to admit, Extinction Rebellion is a pretty good name for an activist group.

ITT: bots, trolls, and plain old fools angrier with this woman for demanding that we stop climate change than with the mega corps trying to cause long-term devastation for short-term gain.

Thereโ€™s like 1 guy. I mean, I know there are masses of angry chuds out there who hate her(and also not-so-secretly lust after her, which is beyond sick) but in this thread thereโ€™s just the one.

P.S. the other is a troll who is using sarcasm wrong.

Sheโ€™s an adult, isnโ€™t she? Why would it be โ€œbeyond sickโ€ to find her attractive?

โ€œa protest against Dutch subsidies and tax breaks to companies linked to fossil fuel industriesโ€

We can do all the activities you mention with a much lower impact. And fighting climate change allows many farmers in developing countries to actually survive. (Think of the problems with cocoa harvests failing or with Mongolian herders losing herds three years in a row instead of once a decade.)

Ranching and fishing, yes. But considering that worldwide more than 70% of agriculture is used to support ranching, it definitely seems that ranching is reducing the amount of food worldwide, not increasing it.

Edit: Also should mention, generally when climate activists talk about drastically cutting down or outright ending ranching, thatโ€™s for the developed world, where healthy alternatives exist. Nobody sane is talking about going and taking the dairy cows off of Indian villagers who depend on it for survival.

Also, we have destroyed the global aquaculture with overfishing.

The person you are responding to is not arguing in good faith. I was going to say donโ€™t feed the troll but maybe itโ€™s better to refute the BS so unsuspecting people donโ€™t read them thinking they are correct.

She is one of the most influential activists in a generation. I greatly admire her dedication and commitment. Sheโ€™s been arrested like half a dozen times now, and she shows no sign whatsoever of backing down.

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:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
