@davidrevoy but some morons would still say climate change is a myth... Last survey in Poland shows about 50% of citizens don't believe in it *sigh*
@madargon oh yes, I know that (and it's sad); my wife is Polish and we follow both France and Poland's news... Maybe it's slightly less in France, but I start to doubt about it more and more election after elections.
elly@davidrevoy @madargon To be fair, those surveys are mostly answered by boomers. I don't know a single person who would say that climate change is a myth (other than my, frankly stupid, mother).
That being said, I think France is still much hotter than Poland. When I lived in Strasbourg, I was afraid to leave my house during the day (one time I almost fainted when it was 38*C and I went to the store to buy more water).
Today it was 38*C in Essen, while in Poland it's apparently still somewhat manageable.
Still... sure, build more AI datacenters to produce more slop. Who cares about the environment, am I right?

@elly @davidrevoy Last thing you mentioned constantly makes me really angry. We have problem with heating, energy demand vs sustainability and water shortages. And most people know this. But billionaires and VC parasites need their hype so much...
Linebyline@madargon @elly @davidrevoy It's amazing what you can accomplish when you have functionally unlimited money and no regard for human lives except your own.
Bernhard E. Reiter@elly interesting enough, most Scientists for Future folks I know are in the age that is associated with "Boomers" and those are the ones that try to convince more people to act against #climatechange .
So maybe that is just statistics: Because "boomers" are the largest group, they also have the largest subgroups a) denying the evidence for human made climate change and b) explaining the climate change and lobbying to act to protect climate and biological diversity. (Or you just know different people. :) )
