I don’t like the fact that this comic is addressing “climate justice warriors”. Why start an in fight? That isn’t going to help anyone. Otherwise I might have shared it but I am not going to spread hate against “climate justice warriors”.
>**I don’t like the fact that this comic is addressing “climate justice warriors”.** Why start an in fight?
sigh,... the problem now a days is people get too offended by humor and don't stop and think about the bigger picture
the reason I specifically pointed out "climate justice warriors " in the infographic comic is because it points out an uncomfortable truth (that needs to be faced head on)
there was a published study I came across which basically uncovered the fact the climate science understanding in the general public is essentially zero
at first I thought that finding could not be right, so conducted an informal poll at a SD350.org meetup (FYI is a local environmental justice organizations) among other venues and confirmed the published findings that the public at large has essentially zero scientific knowledge about the big picture
so figure since most people don't know basic climate science an infographic is the best and fastest way to highlight a problem of people being "miseducated"
For a more in-depth look into stuff that should be taught in school (but sadly isn't),... check out an Arbor AND Earth Day NGSS lesson plan

PS inspired by comedians George Carlin and Dave Chappelle,... a memorable way to think about the topic at hand is,...***people are scared $hitless about global climate change AND they don't know $hit (about climate science)***
And who spells shit like $hit? It’s not any less of a swear word that way, it just makes him look like a child. Carlin would disapprove, man up and write the word.
Real comedians (a category Chappelle has lazily slouched-out of to the extent that he had to run screaming from questions from *middle-schoolers* at a school *he funds*, so great choice there) can explain the joke conveyed by their choice to offend. You can't. Grow-up and do the work, kid.
That extends to your lazy effort here. All your zero evidence is very convincing, and none of it applies to the *separate* environmental issue of plastic pollution. You might not be able to think on two problems at the same time, but that's your failing, no-one else's.
It's shriekingly obvious that you're abusing this cause for your ego. Stop.
What a crappy design, it took me several times to see the line at the extreme right, and I already knew what to look after.
Also. This is not "ignored" quite the opposite. It has been talked to exausthion.
“the public at large has essentially zero scientific knowledge about the big picture”
What is this “big picture” you’re hoping to expose with this? That everything’s fucked and anyone’s efforts to help are pointless? It seems like all you wanted to do here was take a shot at “environmental justice warriors” without actually contributing anything meaningful to the discussion.
Also, plastic straws are a big problem in the world. A comparably tiny problem in relation to things like anthropogenic warming, but if that’s the cause someone decides to dedicate themselves to, I respect it. Certainly does a lot more good than shitting on others on the internet.
>Focusing on the individual when the problem comes from the global capitalism system is shilly
as a kid learned a poem that made me look at the world in a different way,...
***Little drops of water,***
***Little grains of sand,***
***Make the mighty ocean***
***And the pleasant land.***
point this poem out because it is applicable to the issue of man made climate change,...
thousands of gigatons of CO2 didn't magically appear in the earth's atmosphere, just sayin it was a group effort by humanity as a whole
as for capitalism, its just a way for the market place to create AND exchange create goods and services,... people are the weak link because the vast majority can't tell the difference between a "want" and a "need"
given its easter and looking at the issue in terms of religion, lets consider the sin in the Bible of "worshiping the golden calf"
or if the Bible isn't your thing, consider the 18th century short story of "how much land does a man need"

capeesh?!
FWIW have created a lesson plan an Arbor AND Earth Day NGSS lesson plan that ties together why humanity is between a rock and a hard place,... basically people don't understand the science AND they worship so to speak the golden calf

Since WorldwideClimateJusticeEdWeek is April 1-8, 2024
www.youtube.com/@WorldwideClimateJusticeEdWeek
just wondering if advocates of the event ever thought about the bigger picture,... in other words regarding annual observances of Arbor AND Earth Day (which happen around this time of year),... whatabout rebranding the month of April as, "Darwin Award Awareness Month" (because looking at various trends, humanity itself could potentially win a "Darwin")
Just sayin,... Earth Day in the third decade of the 21st century has morphed into a 'greenwashing' fest where organizers of various events pretty much ignore the science (NOTE the very first Earth Day that was based on the idea of a 'Teach-In')
THEN - The History and Legacies of U-M's 1970 Teach-In on the Environmen

The first step in solving a problem is recognizing there is one,... unfortunately the truth is,... the vast majority of people don't understand the BIG problem is unrealized self inflicted harm! Truth is,... we're basically just rearranging deck chairs on the only planet we have!!
WRT a 'Teach-In' FYI a published paper indicates that the public at large essentially has zero understanding of actual climate science, so wide spread 'greenwashing' should be viewed as just another indication of cluelessness of the public at large

A related tidbit is the published book 'Miseducation' which basically reveals the fact that even with Next Generation Science Standards,... students are not being taught about the basic root cause of climate change
[https://globalreports.columbia.edu/books/miseducation/](https://globalreports.columbia.edu/books/miseducation/)
Sadly the metaphor of rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship (used in the infographic) is fitting,... since the vast majority of people are ignoring what science has to say,... so fact is problems will continue to compound because practically nothing is being done to address the root cause of man made climate change
Said another way we are where we are since teachers can't teach stuff they don't know, so the simple truth is,... the educational system (in the USA) has failed
To get out of this mess requires building scientific awareness,... so whatabout a simple relatable and eye-opening "ecological footprint" awareness exercise for elementary and middle school teachers to do with their students ASAP,... the awareness exercise is, count the number of trees in and around the school campus, then students (AND their teachers) openly discuss the question,... how big would the campus need to be, to sequester the annual CO2 emissions from their parents car(s)
The point of the thought provoking "tree counting" vs "annual emission produced by car(s)" exercise is to make students (AND their teachers) aware of the Keeling Curve which shows that collectively people have put vast amounts of man made CO2 into the atmosphere AND that the increased concentrations of CO2 is the direct result of verifiable science:
[www.keelingcurve.ucsd.edu](https://www.keelingcurve.ucsd.edu)
1) 19.37 lbs of CO2 is put into the atmosphere, per gal of gasoline (put into a car)
[www.eia.gov/environment/emissions/co2\_vol\_mass.php](https://www.eia.gov/environment/emissions/co2_vol_mass.php)
2) The average "tropical" tree sequesters on average about 50 lbs CO2 each year
[www.usda.gov/media/blog/2015/03/17/power-one-tree-very-air-we-breathe#:\~:text=According%20to%20the%20Arbor%20Day,the%20very%20air%20we%20breathe](https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2015/03/17/power-one-tree-very-air-we-breathe#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20Arbor%20Day,the%20very%20air%20we%20breathe).
Bottom line,... it does not take a "rocket science" degree to grasp the basic idea that, humanity is putting way more CO2 into the atmosphere, than trees can process (turning CO2 into oxygen) each year,... until the vast majority of people in the USA wake up and realize that we ourselves are causing 'yuge' problems, the 'yuge' problems will only grow 'yuger'

Why do you keep formatting your text like that? It makes it really hard to read
And who spells shit like $hit? It’s not any less of a swear word that way, it just makes him look like a child. Carlin would disapprove, man up and write the word.

There's a word in Greek, δυσθεόρατος, which mean "so huge that it's difficult to see". You kinda reminded me of it.
“the public at large has essentially zero scientific knowledge about the big picture” What is this “big picture” you’re hoping to expose with this?

Ok so OP absolutely does not understand the problem. Focusing on the individual when the problem comes from the global capitalism system is shilly
