I recently had a discussion which was very much like "you're an idiot", I tried to explain my point why I believe it should be in the upcoming years strategies, to use as much nuclear as we can, and then phase it out for renewables entirely.

But my take was compared by this person akin to flat earth which I found insulting honestly.

So I'm trying to see if people here would like to discuss in a proper non insulting way about why do people think it shouldn't be this way.

Petition to Transition All Government Vehicles to Electric Vehicles to Combat Climate Change

To [Government Entity/Official],

We, the undersigned, urge the [government entity, e.g., Federal Government, State Governments, Local Governments] to take immediate action in transitioning all government-owned vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). Given the urgency of the climate crisis, it is crucial for our government to lead by example in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Supporting Arguments:

1. Environmental Impact:

   - Government vehicles constitute a significant portion of the vehicles on the road. Transitioning these to electric vehicles will substantially reduce emissions, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment.    - EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, which means less pollution in our communities.

2. Economic Benefits:

   - Though the initial investment in EVs may be higher, the long-term savings on fuel and maintenance costs are significant.    - Electric vehicles can be powered by renewable energy sources, reducing dependency on fossil fuels and enhancing energy security.

3. Leadership and Innovation:

   - By adopting EVs, the government will demonstrate leadership in combating climate change and encourage the private sector to follow suit.    - This initiative can spur technological innovation and growth in the EV market, creating jobs and promoting sustainable economic development.

4. Health Benefits:

   - Reducing vehicle emissions can decrease the incidence of respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and other health issues caused by air pollution.    - A cleaner environment contributes to the overall well-being of the population.

Call to Action:

We call on the [government entity] to:

1. Develop and implement a plan to transition all government vehicles to electric vehicles immediately, with a significant percentage transition (e.g., 50%) within the next 2 years and complete transition within 3-5 years.
2. Allocate necessary funds and resources to support this transition.
3. Establish partnerships with EV manufacturers and charging infrastructure providers to ensure a smooth and efficient transition.
4. Provide incentives for government agencies to adopt EVs and offer training programs for employees on the benefits and use of electric vehicles.

Conclusion:

By transitioning to electric vehicles immediately, the government can take a bold step toward mitigating climate change, protecting public health, and fostering a sustainable future for all. We urge immediate action to ensure a cleaner, greener, and healthier world for current and future generations.

So I made this video, explaining the basic science between carbon emissions and increased temperatures. My goal was to just state facts, not denying that humans can effect the climate and not making people panic either. I made the video with a little twist at the end. :-) YouTube seems to hate the video, because it's pretty much dead in the water. I think it's pretty good, despite the twist. :-) Check it out if you have a boring moment and see what you think about it! Cheers all!

My name is Ashwani Jain, and I am a Democrat running for Congress to represent Maryland’s 6th Congressional District which includes Northern Montgomery County as well as Frederick, Washington, Allegany, and Garrett Counties.

While I would be the first Millennial and first Asian-American ever elected to represent Maryland in Congress, I am specifically running because I have comprehensive policy solutions that will open the doors of opportunity for our community.

This is an open seat with no incumbent, and Maryland's Primary election is on the 14th of May.

My top policy priorities include:

• Removing the influence of corporate money in politics and campaigning.
• Making public college free as an investment in our future.
• Establishing a system of Medicare for All which includes access to reproductive health.
• Increasing the minimum wage to $26 by 2030 to account for inflation, cost of living, and productivity.

Please feel free to ask any questions regarding my policies, the Congressional election, my experience campaigning, or anything else!

What does the new not-for-profit Climatesafe Villages movement offer compassionate progressives who know they can no longer ignore the consequences of the intensifying climate change emergency?

I have terrible news about the most critical number in climate change calculations. If this number is wrong, every climate change calculation using it will also be wrong.
The following is a bit technical, but I have included description links to make it easier to grasp how essential and bad this climate calculation error is for your climate future. And, there is a bit of good news at the end.

The following is why past climate change predictions and solutions by the world's leading climate change authority (the UN's IPCC) are no longer valid and have been wrong for a long time.

The single most critical climate change number is known as the climate sensitivity constant. Yet the IPCC has kept this all-important climate sensitivity constant artificially low despite continual protests by recognized climate scientists.

According to a new 2023 peer-reviewed study, the correct climate sensitivity constant is 4.8 degrees Celsius, not the 3 degrees Celsius constant used by the IPCC over the last decades in almost ALL foundational climate change calculations.

This nearly 60% difference in the correct climate sensitivity constant over the IPCC's incorrect constant is NOT a minor or low-impact matter for your future.

The confirming 2023 study that disclosed this massive climate sensitivity error is called Global Warming in the Pipeline. It is by James Hansen et al. (James Hansen is the renowned climate scientist who, while at NASA in the 1980s, was primarily responsible for bringing the climate change emergency globally into the public mind.)

This newly corrected 4.8 degrees Celsius climate sensitivity constant amount powerfully indicates climate consequences will be sooner and far beyond what our governments and the media are telling us.

It also means the fossil fuel reduction amounts that our governments have agreed to for reducing climate change (and that you hear continually in the media) are also grossly underestimated by as much as 60%.

This corrected 4.8 degrees Celsius climate sensitivity constant also points to the fact that we are already in the worst-case climate change scenario that honest climate researchers have been warning about and for which humanity is not even remotely prepared.

The worst outcome of having the climate sensitivity constant not being 3 degrees Celsius but 4.8 degrees Celsius (about 60% greater) is that almost all of the climate calculations provided by the IPCC upon which governments, media, and the whole world depend for accurate climate consequence severity estimates, consequence arrival timeframes, and the correct global fossil fuel reduction amounts are wildly not correct!

This new and corrected climate sensitivity constant of 4.8 degrees Celsius means that our worst fears have not only been confirmed. It also means that when you include all additional factors listed below in reasons 1-5 below, almost all of the IPCC's climate change consequence severity and timeframe predictions and their fossil fuel reduction amounts are not just wrong by a little bit.

They are underestimated by up to 60%.

Over 3,000 people have seen it in the first several days it has been on YouTube.

Who is doing the interviewing?

Dr. Peter Carter with Paul Beckwith and Regina Valdez, Climate Reality Program Director, NYC, to discuss the ClimateSafe Villages Project. Video first published: July 31, 2023.

What is this 34-minute new video all about?

(The new video is linked at the bottom of this page.)

Here are many good reasons you will want to watch this sometimes intense video besides watching the highly qualified climate change scientists and climate change researchers interviewing and questioning the Job One for Humanity executive director:

1. How humanity is not making enough progress to handle climate change without severe and unavoidable consequences.

2. How before it is too late, we must cooperate, prepare, and adapt to the climate change consequences we can no longer avoid.

3. What are the world's safest and the most unsafe climate change locations?

4. How the basic concept of ClimateSafe Villages is simple. It is about sustainable living, climate change resilience building, and survival.

5. How the people coming to ClimateSafe Villages are people from all over the world who are generally progressive and intuitively sense that conditions on our planet are going the wrong way and hence feel a need to protect their family, friends, and businesses. 

6. How the ClimateSafe Villages model is open access and meant to equip individuals, families, businesses. and communities to become more resilient as climate conditions worsen.

7. The real reason why our governments have failed to protect us for 60 years from the climate emergency,

8. Why are there different ClimateSafe Villages models (urban, stay where you are, rural, and virtual?

 9, The Climatesave Villages project seeks to support worldwide cooperation to create tens of thousands of climate-safer, more secure, and resilient locations capable of riding out the worst of climate change.

10. The challenging ethical questions that few are asking on what to do when billions of starving, desperate climate change refugees arrive in the world's safer areas.

11. How a critical insight is that we won't make it alone.  

12. How any climate program that doesn't have a climate change preparation, adaptation, and resilience building element is inadequate and dangerous to our shared future as humanity. 

13. How the previous realization became the decision to create the ClimateSafe Villages Project, which has years of research invested in what makes intentional communities or villages fail and what makes them succeed.

14. How this work recently culminated in a new Climatesafe Villages website and the response to it in terms of people coming from all over the world to join the ClimateSafe Villages Project.

PLEASE share this new video on your networks with people you know who have been discussing the recent record-breaking worldwide climate change-driven consequences and potentially what they will do to protect themselves and their businesses.

Wakulla Springs in Florida is the largest and deepest freshwater spring in the world. It pumps 3,000 gallons per second into a pristine Florida river filled with turtles, gators, and manatees. Now, the Southwest Georgia oil company, which has a long history of gasoline accidents—wants to build a gas station on the fragile cave that funnels water to the spring. Despite a furious public response, Wakulla county’s backslapping local politicians are likely to support the plan.

To stop them, it'll take federal, state, or judicial pressure. But the company introduced their proposal as a sneak attack, so we only have until Monday, August 8. My best friend grew up here and leads a nonprofit that's fighting back as part of a coalition of residents, scientists, and commercial fishermen. We're urgently looking for help with any of the following:

1. Sharing with national journalists: How can we take this issue to the national news?
2. Lawyers: Do you know of any intrepid lawyers who want to file an emergency injunction?
3. Amplification: We need organizations and individuals with a large following to draw attention to this. Any ideas on how we can facilitate this?
4. Other stuff?: I'm sure there are plenty of levers worth pulling, but I'm not sure what all of them are. If you have thoughts or connections, please let us know!

I am writing today regarding global warming and our sea level rise. I am a surfer from northern California and am doing a report for school on how the rising sea levels will effect our surfing beaches, specifically in southern California. To anyone who doesn't know about the situation, the sea levels are rising due to global warming causing surf breaks to be much more inside then before and as a result changing the dynamic of surfing.

I want to ask the people of reddit what they think can be done to help the situation. Is there anything that everyday civilians can do to really help the situation or is it all on the government and people of power. I used to volunteer for Surfrider foundation but that was really just beach cleanups and spreading the issue which didn’t feel like I myself was changing anything at all. Let me know if you guys have ever tried to get into contact with someone of power who can handle a big scale operation like this.
