I think this sends a much stronger message than stone henge

[-] kokesh@lemmy.world 43 points 6 months ago

Those idiots destroying paintings and monoliths belong behind bars. That won't convince anyone with even half a brain to think. Just destroys something and makes everyone angry.

destroying paintings and monoliths

But... they didn't do either of those things. They threw soup at glass, and for the Stonehenge thing they used washable powder paint. They were publicity stunts with no damage done.

[-] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 122 points 6 months ago

Yeah but it's a lot harder to paint climate activists as the bad guys when you say things like "they souped our glass and powdered our rocks", so better to just lie, right?

Going after a painting that's behind glass is VERY different to going after the stone henge that has no protective layer, and most importantly of all, has nothing to do with the target of their cause

saying it destroyed the stone henge is a major exaggeration, saying it did no damage is also just as wrong. The English heritage society emphasised that it was only no VISIBLE damage left, however they also said it did cause damage.

It's just like how you can't touch walls in caves because any change in the oils and stuff in our skins can cause long term damage even though there's no immediate visible damage

If only you were so vitriolic about the fossil fuel execs destroying the entire planet.

[-] SoleInvictus 18 points 6 months ago

But think of the art!!!

/s

Destroyed? Let's talk about that.

As you know, Stonehenge has been standing in the rain for 3,000 years.

Following the industrial revolution, fossil fuel emissions made that acid rain. It attacked every cultural artifact standing outdoors for decades.

I think that the people who did that belong behind bars.

Have you ever seen the pictures of the ocean after the gulf oil spill? They never did fix that - they just sprayed chemicals that sunk the oil to the bottom of the gulf, creating a dead zone (with help from agricultural chemical runoff from the Mississippi River). And the people there never did get treated for all their medical issues, even though most of their food comes out of that ocean. That's also why we need Medicare for all btw - so we can make sure the EPA, CDC, and other government organizations are actually doing their job and people are actually taken care of when something goes wrong.

Hear me out, painting private planes don't effect 98% of humanity not everyone has an interest in the arts.

Almost as if when you target the problem it sends a better message than doing some random shit.

[-] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

So close together? Probably not. Look at the comments. everyone is just talking about Stonehenge.

[-] The_Terrible_Humbaba@slrpnk.net 13 points 6 months ago

The fact that most comments here seem to be talking about stone henge says otherwise. If not for what happened to stone henge recently, people might not have paid this much attention to this.

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 108 points 6 months ago

And that's the kind of protest that people get behind.

Big oil gonna subpoena every upvoter

Do your part to make them waste money

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 50 points 6 months ago

Hear me out. Why don't we spray StoneHenge on the private jets ? one stone at a time, with old fashioned trebuchets

[-] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Wait a minute, that doesn't sound like painting at all!

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 32 points 6 months ago

See, there you go. Direct impact on people who have an impact, and you made the news.

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 19 points 6 months ago

They leveled up today.

[-] solarbabies@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Great stuff! Disappointing that the article didn't mention how they managed to get on the tarmac.

[-] silence7@slrpnk.net 16 points 6 months ago

There's usually nothing more than a chain-link fence.

Wait until they find out how much it's going to cost them to repaint the jets that they vandalized.

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 112 points 6 months ago

Damn, guess it’s better to let the environment collapse and our species to go extinct because capitalism and money is more important.

fuck the swifties.

i thought nkotb or beatles fans were dumb...but swifties are a special kind of dumb. maybe we should spray them.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 13 points 6 months ago

Why do you have to ruin good things? I dont like taylor swift but if you do what does that have to do with the artist itself. Her music can be good while shes a bad person.

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

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: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

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

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