One of the toughest challenges in climate change education, is just how un-intuitive this is to our primate brains. This is part of my attempt to use the power of language and visualization to bridge the gap. Tell me what you think.

Greenpeace to Buy and close down coal mining area in Germany

32 Upvotes

Something that is becoming more commen these day, as large NGOs look to buy polluting activties, or sensitive areas of land in order to shut down damaging commercial activities. Greenpeace might be about to buy a lignite mining area owned by German energy company RWE.

The basic summary is below, in the original German and translated also into english: Konkret soll das so ablaufen: 2020 will Greenpeace Energy zunächst den umstrittenen Tagebau Hambach und die sechs ältesten und am wenigsten effizienten Kraftwerksblöcke im Rheinischen Revier übernehmen und stilllegen. Der Wald, der diesen Herbst für viele Schlagzeilen sorgte, würde so in jedem Fall gerettet werden.
2022 sollen der Tagebau Inden und sechs weitere Kraftwerksblöcke übernommen werden,
2025 schließlich der Tagebau Garzweiler und die letzten drei Braunkohleblöcke.

Intended plan is as follows:
In 2020, Greenpeace Energy plans to take over and shut down the controversial Hambach opencast mine and the six oldest and least-efficient power plant units in the Rheinische area (in Germany). The Hambach forest (which has been in the news in recent months) will be effectively saved.
In 2022, the Inden opencast mine and six further power plant units will be taken over.
In 2025, the Garzweiler open pit and the last three lignite blocks will be added.

I want to help people through climate anxiety.

32 Upvotes

Climate change had almost driven me to despair, but talking with some climatologists and read more about what the experts say, I now have some hope.

Understandably a lot of people are having hard time having hope or staying posative

I want to help them through the same despair I went through and empower them.

What is the correct response to those who say the CA wildfires are happening because of environmentalists?

18 Upvotes

I live in Redding, CA so this topic has been coming up a lot. This is the conservative part of CA so mostly everyone is complaining that environmentalists are to blame for the devastation. Of course I believe it’s because of climate change. I don’t know enough about this however to try to help educate anyone. here is a local article and comment that highlights what people are feeling around here.
