An ironic choice of words, considering what a turbocharger is.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

In an internal combustion engine, a turbocharger (also known as a turbo or a turbosupercharger) is a forced induction device that is powered by the flow of exhaust gases.

Pedantry aside, yeah, we really do need to figure this out fucking yesterday.

I think as of today we have now had the two hottest days since the end of the last ice age, and its been 12 consecutive months we’ve been over the 1.5C warming threshold.

The next few decades are going to be defined by mass chaos caused by climate driven migration, increasing weather related chaos and disasters, massive food and water insecurity, climbing food prices… and thats if we somehow instantly solved this problem now.

Since we probably won’t, it’ll be famines, possible superbugs from thawing permafrost, local and then regional ecosystem collapse, resource wars, regressive, theocratic, totalitarian politics…

I am glad I never wanted kids.

Let’s go.

Yes, it’s really late. For some parts of the world even too late. But let’s save what’s left.

We must withdraw our support of governments and capital. We must revitalize our communities, and withdraw our grips so that life can reestablish.

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:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

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

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