I’m a climate scientist by trade. Interested in interesting things. Ecology, complexity, politics, social change, music.

I think it probably starts a long way before a kiss or a touch. At least, I’d hope it does.
Sure, getting arrested is always a risk with civil disobedience. I’ve been to a few corporate and political party office sit-ins. Usually we’ve had one or two people (sometimes hundreds) volunteer to be arrested, and others leave before it gets to that point. How risky that is for the ones leaving early will depend a lot on how the authorities act in your jurisdiction though.
Eh? Corporate HQs are all in city centres, and the vast majority of people live in cities…
I don’t think there’s some fraction of people who are ethically driven, and the rest don’t care. Everyone sits on multiple spectra for what they care about, and where their thresholds for acting are. Most people are under the pump for cost of living, and that’s pretty dominant when you’re on the verge of poverty. Get those people a bit more stability, and they’ll have more capacity to care about broader ethical ssues…

To me its how roughly we want the fucking to be ultimately and can we bring it back down to a more tender and loving level.
More or less, yeah
“climate based economy”?
“Point of no return” is a simplistic concept. It depends on the your threshold for how bad it gets. Most climate scientists would agree that we’re just at or about to pass the 1.5°C target. But they would also agree that ever extra fraction of a degree matters. It’s not a question of “when are we fucked?” Its a question of “how quickly can we act to minimise severity of change?”

There are no carbon capture and storage technologies proven to work at a meaningful scale.
Stop burning fossil fuels. There is no way that doesn’t include that.

So, uh, you reckon you could fit eight of those on one person?
Oh wow, did you post this direct from mastodon just by tagging the community? Didn’t realise that works, that’s super cool.
This probably shouldn’t be marked NSFW?
Wut? In what way is that not part of the monetary economy?
Probably about the same as for whether a god exists.
