Rose Abramoff was one of two protesters who helped temporarily shut down construction of Mountain Valley pipeline

She also posted on Mastoson and Bluesky about it.

            Aside from the fact that MLK Jr was already well known previous to going to prison, and wasn’t just chaining himself to pipes but had already had well-known speeches. I’m well aware of letters from a Birmingham jail, but somehow I doubt that letters or chaining yourself to a pipeline are going to make a difference when multi-billion dollar industries are benefiting from that pipeline.

            It’s a little obtuse to say that those are similar and you know that.

          Oh my dear boy, we don’t advocate.

          We act. Very different things.

      People sometimes choose to get arrested as a means of generating publicity for their cause. It’s one of many tactics used in nonviolent civil disobedience.

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.
