Climate science denialism is nothing new. It has been going on for decades. The Greenhouse effect has been known for more than 100 years. There have been urgent public warnings from scientists for more than 40 years. Right now, science warns that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) will break down (link). If we carry on like this, it will be a question of when, not if. This is just one example. Each example should cause immediate global political action. Instead, we’re living the meme.

That’s very true. But I think that stems in part from the fact that some of the most prominent climate science (such as the IPCC report) features the consensus of many scientists. All climate scientists will agree on low estimates that we are very sure of. But there have been some models predicting faster increases of global temperatures than we have seen. If we would look at the average of scientific claims instead of the consensus, we might be more close to the truth.
Nevertheless, science has been pretty right overall. Of course, not exactly right, but that wouldn’t fit in a meme.
I so hope that something happens from this.
Meme reaction is a very low hanging fruit, surprised Pikachu would have been another easy pick.

The argument of saving the economy is often brought forward as an argument against climate protection. In a rather recent example, the German finance minister Christian Lindner told climate activists: “the market is stronger than you.” This seems to be the stupidest argument in the history of arguments, maybe ever.

This was uploaded as a gif and converted to webm. Doesn’t seem to be viewable directly as a thumbnail but needs to be opened separately. Is there a better way to post animations? Tried webp but that won’t upload at all.
Being mindful of ones own actions is good, but saving the planet needs us to target big oil.

We have the technologies. The list goes on and on and on. We just need to employ them instead of waiting further for magical fixes.

We have seen, that people and societies are extremely adaptable to changes in lifestyle. The transformation of the Netherlands to a cycling -friendly country for example. Car free city centers. People were very opposed to them before. But once the changes were made, people were happy with them and adapted to the new options. There’s also negative examples where people adapted to new negative lifestyles such as car centric cities. Or smog, pollution, garbage landfills, or rivers that one is not allowed to swim in due to pollution. People are surprisingly adaptable to new conditions. We just have to do it.
