The Netherlands will very likely have a right wing government and will be heading down the same path. Same with Italy, Sweden, Denmark.

With the next European election this year the right wing parties in the European Parliament will gain a lot of traction.

We could be heading down the American path and lose a lot or the progress we made over the last 2 decades.

I will be a father in a couple or hours. Between the right taking to power and accelerating climate change i am just so fucking worried in what kind of world my kids will grow up.

I don’t know about other nations. In Germany we have had the Conservative Party ruling for 16 years as a right leaning Party, 4 years of a left party that implemented right wing neo fashist ideas, followed by another 16 years of conservative rule with more centeristic than right wing rule (the political void in the right was filled by the AFD, which has become a true fashist party in the last 10 years). The only “left” government we ever had in the last 36 years has been in the last 2, and they are heavily restricted by beeing in a coalition with a neo liberal right wing party.

So, at least for Germany, this just doesn’t hold true.

So you feel bad if republicans ignore science in regards to, let’s say, Covid, but if the science doesn’t fit your world view you feel okay to ignore it yourself?

A tad hypocratic hypocritical, no?

Insects. At night there would be plenty of insects under every singe street lamp. The windscreen would be full of yellow goo after driving in summer.

This is a myth and has been debunked.

theguardian.com/…/car-splatometer-tests-reveal-hu…

The survey of insects hitting car windscreens in rural Denmark used data collected every summer from 1997 to 2017 and found an 80% decline in abundance. It also found a parallel decline in the number of swallows and martins, birds that live on insects.

The second survey, in the UK county of Kent in 2019, examined splats in a grid placed over car registration plates, known as a “splatometer”. This revealed 50% fewer impacts than in 2004. The research included vintage cars up to 70 years old to see if their less aerodynamic shape meant they killed more bugs, but it found that modern cars actually hit slightly more insects.

It realy is.

I see this kind of realy devastating change in many areas in nature. There used to be frogs in our garden when I grew up, I would listen to them every evening right outside my bedroom window. Now they are gone.

I see it in the Forests, where huge swats of trees have died over the last couple of years. There are areas in our forests now, that look like war zones, because drouth followed by to much rain in combination with invasive bugs have killed or weakens them so much.

Going back another generation, my brother, who is 16 years older, told be about field hamsters who where so plentyfull in the fields, that the local kids would earn money by hunting them and turning their corpses in for money in the village center. In the 16 years between my bother and me the European field hamster has, consequently, gone almost extinct. I never have seen one in my life.

And while all this is by its nature very anecdotal, these are areas where climate change and the way we treat nature as something alien realy feels close to me. And to be honest: It fucking scares me.

This.

I tried Fark-It-All and it legit helped me reduce my stress level a lot. After Amazon drove up its Ads I felt I realy couldn’t take it any more. And since there is literally nothing you can do about ads, neither on reddit nor on Amazon, I looked for other options. And what can I say? Taking some Fark-It-All brings the fun back into funding, hypercapitalist corpations trough engaging with Ads. I highly recommend Fark-It-All, even if you just feel like you could potentialy be stressed out a bit by Ads. I’ve heard a lot of realy positive feedback on taking it preventative.

No /s, it realy is the shit. Just try it out and see for yourself.

Gender ideology, which seeks to blur differences between men and women through movements such as transgenderism, “makes everything the same,” Francis said.

“Erasing differences is erasing humanity. Man and woman, however, are in a fruitful ‘tension,’” Francis told the assembly

Wild. Unscientific, Transphobic and in the end just realy harmful misinformation.

Same. I know of no couple in my circle where using the toilet in each others presence is anything else but just plain normal. They all do it.

Edited for clarification, because words = hard

I’m an idiot. I meant the exact opposite and have edited the sentence to make it clear.

Every single couple I know uses the toilet in front of each other.

Yes.

Here is a link to an interview with a non binary transgender person. (Timestamp around 32:00).

By the way, I recommend the whole video, I leaned a lot from it. Turn on captions tough if you’d like to watch it, it’s partualy in Dutch, tough the linked section is English.

Edit: The Person interviewed starting at 11:00 Minutes also identifies as non binary trans.

This result suggests that stabilization at today’s greenhouse gas levels may already commit Earth to an eventual total warming of 5 degrees Celsius (range 3 to 7 degrees Celsius, 95 per cent credible interval) over the next few millennia as ice sheets, vegetation and atmospheric dust continue to respond to global warming.

You forgot the “over the next few millennia” part.

Thanks for the fix.

Sounds solid. Now come up with a way to implement this without causing riots.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32589139/

It has a summary in plain language after the very technical abstract.

If you are just looking for an article instead of a study it’s easy enoth to come up with plenty of them if you Google for it.
