Spill a bunch of oil and kill hundreds of acres of land and animals? Woopsie daisies don’t worry nonprofits and gov may step in to fix that.

Stop a business from sending that oil? You son of a bitch.

This is really hard to read. The degree of criminalization, the coordination in intimidating activists… it’s bad, man.

It seems like Minnesota arrested almost the same number of nonviolent protesters against a pipeline in a few days as the DOJ has arrested for storming the capital on Jan 6. The sense of misguided priorities is really alarming.

America is a fascist oil empire and must be destroyed. It’s the only way to stop big oil

Hey, us average people are suffering under the large corporations and corrupt government. If we’re destroying any part of America, let it just be the greedy rich capitalists and the government. Spare us average people.

I have a lot of questions about a private Canadian oil company paying Minnesotan Law Enforcement millions of dollars.

I know and what is even more ridiculous than what I am doing now is to be honest with you and I will be there for you and I will be in your prayers.

@silence7 reminds me of the final speech in the film I just saw: How To Blow Up a Pipeline.

Kudos to the filmmakers for messaging throughout the film that these activists are not terrorists and are trying to *stop* the massive harm of fossil extraction. The main characters live near refineries, frack sites, and pipelines that are killing people. Lifts the reality that our most marginalized kin are the ones living with the most (human-made) toxic environments.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

!climate@slrpnk.net

Create post

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:

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

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