When legal protest is made impossible, illegal resistance is a necessity.

Kelcy Warren, the founder and CEO of Energy Transfer, said the main purpose of the lawsuit against Greenpeace was to “send a message” rather than to collect money. A major Trump supporter and the mastermind of the lawsuit, Warren once said activists “should be removed from the gene pool”.

Wow. What a piece of shit. Sounds like this CEO seriously needs some more green in his life. 🌱

Does he?! Oh, what a strange coincidence. 😁

Curious why anyone is shocked? Some people haven’t been paying attention for the last… oh god it’s only been 2 months?

[-] drkt_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago

This has been happening for decades.

Same as it always was 🎵

I believe there is a good chance it will be reversed on appeal and ultimately backfire against the Energy Transfer pipeline company.

Oh you sweet summer child....

Holy shit. Is Greenpeace dead now?

They were the fucking conservative environmentalists too..

In the US, unless the outcome is changed as a result of an appeal, yes.

The article says Greenpeace will sue them in Europe for a bigger settlement.

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.
