3°C is a political choice. Future generations will think very poorly of us.

@davidho 3°C rise is terrifying. We’re playing Russian roulette with the entire ecosystem. The more we raise the temperature, the more likely we are to run into some as yet unanticipated tipping point.
What on earth can we do to make people see how serious this is?

If you're waiting for some awakening where people suddenly all convert, don't hold your breath.

Those of us who get it need to come together and act now. Waiting for society to agree is planning to fail.

@RhinosWorryMe @davidho Agreed, but what does this mean in practical terms?
What should I do tomorrow that I am not doing today?

@KimSJ @davidho

Personally I'd advise reading the histories of any other situation where a small(ish) group of people was trying to force a large change that the people in control of a society were opposed to: resistance movements, guerilla groups, asymmetric warfare. Even groups whose aims you don't agree with might have lessons to learn from.

Classic non-violent civil disobedience has its place, but it is definitely not enough.

We are in a war for life, but we're still at the stage where most people don't realise it - they think it's a misunderstanding.

If you want more detail, we need to switch to encrypted channels of communication!
