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.

The Bezos Earth Fund is focused on selling artificial intelligence — the technology driving Amazon's rising carbon emissions — as the solution to the climate crisis

The claim that AI is going to solve the climate crisis is of course total bullshit

Uh, guys.. I'm starting to think that maybe this Bezos fellow is not on our side?

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 28 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

He only created the Bezos Earth fund because of employee organizing. It was a way to buy off the environmental nonprofits so that he was less likely to face a union

What fucking wrong with that woman face? That fucking plastic surgery getting out of hand. He finds that attractive?

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 29 points 4 days ago (3 children)

She looks like an actual ghoul. I’m not one for body or looks shaming, but if you actually choose to look like this then I shame your taste. Her face looks like her surgeon took each side of her face and stapled it to the back of her head. Something tells me her nether reigions look the same.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Yes exactly she looks like a super villain that Batman or Spiderman would need to fight. It's fucking sickening and can't imagine how much money was spent to look like that.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

I feel like it's milder than body-shaming when someone specifically decided they wanted to look like this, then spent a fortune to make it happen.

I just made this comparison in another comment, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of Terrance and Philip

And that's with DLSS5 turned on..

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lol....something is wrong. You think one of the richest men in the world could get the best plastic surgery in the world. It's like they found some cheap quack in a seedy part of town.

Plastic surgery in general pretty fucking stupid. Seen beautiful actresses fuck their faces up trying to stay looking young instead of allowing nature do it thing. Most would still look beautiful if they just took care of their skin.

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago

I've got far less objection to reconstructive plastic surgery then to purely cosmetic surgery. It does something very real for a lot of people.

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 10 points 4 days ago

They're speedrunning looking like the lunatics in the hunger games.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

She "chose" that face ... why would you wanna age when you could petrify your entire face and look like it's swelling all the time....

I kinda feel sorry for her because there's societal pressures that would have pushed her there. However, she's married to these evil billionaires so I really shouldn't.

[–] glibg@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago

Lmao still can't get over how stupid his partner looks with all the plastic surgery. These people are living in another dimension. I hope their yacht sinks with them on it.

🤦 next up: charity with a mission to promote billionaire-positivity.

[–] cnirrad@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Most of these charities are just laundering the billionaires reputation, so they already have that mission

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 days ago

So, like Bill Gates did?

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is the thumbnail AI generated? They barely look human at all - particular their mouths.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

This seems to be what they look like. It's probably surgery.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

one of the richest man in the world

marries a literal scare crow

Strange kink.

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 1 points 3 days ago

That lady's midsection is weirdly cinched.

Bezos loves it so much he had AI redo his face

🎶 A Christian woman knows her place
So go ahead and punch me in the face
'Cause I deserve it, I was wrong
That's why I wrote this holiday song
With my big fake tits and my botox lips
Saying Merry Christmas, Jesus Christ 🎶

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 3 points 3 days ago

Why am I getting the feeling that these data centers are actually vaults?

I know they just approved micro nuclear for data centers as well - you know, so they can "self sustain".

[–] rottenmummy@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago (3 children)

This woman looks like she told her plastic surgeon that she wants a vagina for a mouth

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 days ago

Her face really freaks me the hell out. Uncanny valley maybe. Its hard to describe.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 4 days ago

maybe those were Jeff's instructions

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago

Man... her lips look like a Potoo beak.

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

They run out of money so they're looking for every excuse to pump more money from other sources into this bubble, no matter how absurd those are. This article gets more and more ridiculous as you scroll down.
