The use of water cannon “against peaceful demonstrators is totally unnecessary and disproportionate”, lawyer Willem Jebbink said. “The demonstrators are being sprayed at high pressure, despite not being a threat or a danger,” he said. “Water cannons are weapons and they make victims.” Legal documents will be served later on Monday or on Tuesday,...

        I think there is a better use for that water, i.e. growing flowers. Just a lighthearted comment, nothing to read into.

          Ahhhh! Oh, so obvious. Sorry, I thought you were calling the activists “Water flowers”, as in, “sensitive emotional kids” or something to that point… Sorry, my bad!

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.
