The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

and you help employ people in the 3rd world planting trees!

A---An App? To plant trees? To eliminate my footprint, through my phone, for just :10bux:!?!

Yes

guys can someone just tell me which app i can put on my phone to solve this climate change thing already

If "go join other climate activists in your city/area/region, plug into the climate activist community and join with them" isn't satisfying then I don't know what else to offer. Activists are working in every space imaginable from direct action blocking O&G development projects to lobbying elected officials to be better on climate to actively working to replace electeds who are bad or lukewarm on climate.

If your response to "find others who are climate activists and join them" is "those efforts don't inspire confidence" then maybe propose something yourself so we can have something to go on.

If what you need to inspire confidence is an ironclad, 100% guaranteed effective plan to save the world and avert climate catastrophe then I don't think you'll ever find it. It doesn't exist.

If you live in the Pacific Northwest and you know what second growth forest looks like, it’s hard not to get super depressed as you walk around literally everywhere and see it.

Second growth forest, of course, is the type of forest that grows after industrial logging activities has wiped out all the “Old Growth” forest (aka forest untouched by humans) that used to be there. It’s often homogenous, spindly, and pretty anemic from an ecological perspective.

My gran was old enough to remember what our corner of Appalachia looked like sans trees. The only tree in the area older than 40 or so years blew over in a windstorm a ways back.

yes, and in my mind, it’s the thin edge of a hopefully very long knife

it’s the sorta writing that is approachable and meets most readers where they are, and says something they’ve been taught isn’t okay, but argues it really well

We are all in the garage with our foot down on the gas in a second hand automobile, pressing ever harder on the pedal as we grin at our own reflections in the car mirror as remind ourselves that yes, this gets good miles to the gallon, and yes, we are doing our part to speed up the process. The exhaust fills the space with the final spiteful gently caress you from countless dinosaurs pressed into service by the planet's willingness to pin the enemy. The sound of the engine providing miniature explosions is the only war experience we will encounter in our lifetimes, well, aside from the eventual water wars and spats over the little remaining dry land that graces the planet in it's final, closing statements that simply postulate, "Life was here." But most of us will avoid that and fall asleep at the wheel as the poison gives us swift relief from the calamity of wanting to go fast and go nowhere at all. Perhaps our skeletons will be cracked open for the marrow by those who find us. But realistically, one day, the keys shall be removed from the ignition to end this diorama, snatched at the final moment before everything turns black. The survivors of our joyride shall know no such thing as peace, they shall wipe the sweat off their brow and wonder what perhaps coca-cola was, and what a fish tasted like, or indeed, why we all let everyone sit behind the wheel in the first pace and gurn maliciously at our own reflection as we screamed, "Goku" and "Greta is right, do something".

Okay, but then why are you (doomers collectively, not you in the singular) still posting here? You all seem to be aware of what the allowed range of discussion is in this thread. You also appear to believe that this range of discussion is insufficient.

But every time someone wants to actually discuss things within the allowed range, one of you is here to poo poo all over their ideas. Every time one of you lemming-posts, you're here to whine about them getting probed/banned.

It's 100% you lot's fault that "these conversations always go in circles or end in moderation". If you want that to change, be my loving guest.

Because this is a loving comedy forum and I will scream at the void as my fellows suggest ways to rectify the problem and feel the kindling of hope respark as people tell me that the coral reef isn't as hosed as we thought. I didn't poo poo on anyone's ideas, I didn't quote someone hopeful as to how to change the world and grind their hopes to dust.

You want serious discussion? Fine. My nation has protestors who want insulation in people's homes. They line themselves up to block the passage of traffic. I think they're doing a great job of pissing people off, but I don't think most people want to save the planet, they just want to get to their destination without much fuss. If you inconvenience someone and scream, "There's a problem," most people won't experience the desire of effect. Not that it's a bad thing to try and do.

A friend of mine planted a bunch of seaweed to absorb carbon in scuba gear with a bunch full of other people. It was a nice moment of actual positive change that individuals could place.

Now excuse me, I've got to open my wallet and witness nothing but blood pour out of it.
