44·7 months ago1.5°C is a symbolic boundary. It was agreed to not be broken in the Paris agreement in 2016. Not even ten years later, it is broken for the eigth consecutive month and in the yearly average. It will be broken permanently in 5-10 years. It is a symbolic boundary because it is an arbitrary number and every tenth of a degree matters. We still need to support climat action even if it is broken. But it is also a symbol of political incompetency and fossil fuel malice.

Posting and liking memes is great, but real change comes from actions. If you are as concerned as we are about climate change, please consider joining or supporting climate activists near you. Here are some good starting points for anyone interested:
Yes!
I always recommend checking out the following organizations, which are active in many nations:
https://a22network.org/ the a22 network is a overarching network of many national climate movements using civil disobedience.
https://fridaysforfuture.org/ Fridays for future was created after Greta Thunbergs peaceful protests and now has many national networks using mostly peaceful demonstrations.
https://scientistrebellion.org/ scientist rebellion is a worldwide network of scientists using civil disobedience. Again there are many national groups within.
It’s just a vital oceanic ecosystem we are destroying, wwhat could possibly go wrong here?

How does it crash sync?
The last panel could have a lot of different captions. For example “but i am corrupt”
Environmental rights are already incorporated in the constitutions of many countries. Why are they not respected?

I’m linking them because I took a screenshot of their article. But you are right, I should link to more groups. Here are some good starting points for anyone interested:
Maybe we should try to prevent the disaster we are causing instead of watching?

Very informative, thank you!
Plastics are not directly causing global warming. But they are a byproduct of the fossil fuel industry and are part of the environmental crisis we are causing.

This was a few month ago during the last COP. Really no surprise that the COPs have been quite useless.

Governments are increasingly targeting activists with repressions. Why not follow the science and actually save our climate? This would end climate protests really quickly. There is little explanation except for malice that the combination of criminalizing activists and continuing emissions seems preferable.

Aber wieso versteckst du deine guten Charaktereigenschaften?
Yes, we need to significantly reduce the amount of consumed meat (maybe not insects, if we consider them meat). A step towards more vegan and vegetarian food would definitely be necessary. Yes, not everyone needs to be vegan. But we need to consume way more vegan and vegetarian food.
I so hope that something happens from this.
Meme reaction is a very low hanging fruit, surprised Pikachu would have been another easy pick.

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 agree. We’re in a dire situation for a multitude of reasons. But one of the most important drivers for actual change is human agency. There is still a bit of hope to avoid the greatest catastrophies but we need to loudly demand change.
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.
Once again: Posting and liking memes is great, but real change comes from actions. If you are as concerned as we are about climate change, please consider joining or supporting climate activists near you.
Very good job and very nice that it made news in the guardian.
