Get rid of your car if you can, grow your own food, do anything you can to remove yourself from the systems in place. This seems to be the only peaceful way without turning to ecoterrorism. Though at this rate everything that doesn't have immediate effefts seems futile.

The other option is to take a job working on decarbonizing the larger system.

Do they need IT people? I guess I'd be willing to learn a new skill too.

[-] silence7@slrpnk.net 5 points 11 months ago

Of course. There's a fair bit of that.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Forgive my ignorance, but where would be a good place to start looking? My line of work definitely indirectly contributes to the mess and I want out.

Depends a lot on what country you're in. There's something of a database here but if you go down the list of things that need doing from the IPCC you may find that personal networking will connect you to somebody doing one of them.

The era of coal will end with our civilisation.

We can get it to end sooner. Other countries have taken coal-for-electricity to zero already. We Know how to make steel without it.

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.
