ugh fine my personal blog is not cutting so I’ll post here 

DO! NOT! DONATE! TO! AMAZON! CONSERVATION! NGOs! DO NOT!

they don’t act on the root of the problem, they don’t mitigate the effects of deforestation, they do have limited action and they don’t help conserve the forest land outside their very small grounds besides doing little to nothing to help the people who actually live in the amazon and conserve it on a daily basis

DONATE TO THE INDIGENOUS MOVEMENTS INSTEAD

they are organized, they can keep woodcutting companies away from their land, they are getting murdered for it, they are the only reason there is any forest left at all

[alicedrawslesmis]

THIS is a a fund for indigenous peoples of the Amazon (Brasil only)

THIS is a link to donate from abroad to the indigenous women’s march, it has already happened but you can still donate to support the cause

THIS is a link to support the free land camp, and you can email them at [email protected] if you really want to find ways to support them, donations will go to APIB (Brazilian Articulation of Indigenous Peoples) and you can keep up with their news here

(APIB is coordinated by, among others, Sonia Guajajara! so if you know her you know this means shit will get done)

it’s crazy that im alive to witness major effects of climate change. like it always seemed super vague and it was always ‘the polar bears won’t have anywhere to live’ but this shit is going to fuck everything up bigtime.

[chocolatecoffeething]

Most people don’t realize how serious it is. We’ve only got 50 years worth of resources left, if we keep going the way we are, and honestly, that’s optimistic. Aside from that, we’ve already gone over the calculated “point of no return”, so even if we immediately start sucking gasses out of the atmosphere and stop all transport and agriculture, we’re going to see oceans rise, sea life die, we’re going to be crammed into smaller land areas, places like Melbourne will be underwater, and the fallout will probably send us into an ice age anyway (long story, but basically the ice melts, cold water sinks, the ocean flow responsible for thermoregulation of the planet is interrupted, cue ice age).

I can already see it now. Forget the hurricanes for a moment:

-Hay isn’t growing at the right time. Last year, no one got good hay where I live, because the weather (which has been in the same pattern during hay season for as long as I’ve been alive) was whacked out.

-None of my animals grew coats correctly, because the weather is just all wrong, and they don’t know what season they’re in.

-We’re getting new temperature records globally; basically, all weather is starting to change already

-Where I live, there are always two weeks where we see echidnas everywhere, and then we don’t see them the rest of the year. that is, until last year, when we barely saw them, spaced throughout several months. 

-Let me reiterate, the animals cannot tell what season it is because climate change is altering weather patterns that have been here for as long as anyone can remember

-We also have more acidic rain due to all the gasses, which is why we’ve got so many statues and whatnot corroding even though they haven’t changed for thousands of years

-We had a tornado start to form in Melbourne. That’s unheard of.

We have the technology to slow down climate change. If we want to survive for more than 50 years, we need to act now. NOW. We need to put in place all the technologies we have, and pour money into more scientific research.

And why haven’t we? Because politicians earn money from oil companies and don’t care about the future of the planet, because they’re not going to be here in 50 years anyway.

https://www.skepticalscience.com/ is a great website that debunks common myths about climate change! check it out! it has a wealth of information that’s super easy to understand and even comes in different levels in terms of learning. 

i just recently sat in a climate change presentation and the physicist who gave the presentation talked about how if in the next 30 years we (not just Americans, but humans all over the world) do not cut down on carbon emissions (and this honestly boils down to policy changes that MUST be made amongst industrialists in “developed countries” but that’s a whole other conversation) climate change will ultimately become irreversible. 

30 years y’all. that’s within all of our life times. and these effects are going to be pretty much the end of human civilization as we know it. 

[msaprildaniels]

It’s time for people who will not live to see the consequences of their actions to give way to those of us who will. It’s time for those of us born in the shadow of climate change to stand up and start demanding our stake in the future be recognized as larger and more important than the greedy old men who don’t expect to be around that long.

[scottishwobbly]

the whole “30 years” thing is hella out of date, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has given us 12, and that was last year.

Recycling etc. and cutting down your carbon print is great, but it’s not going to help. Just 100 corporations are responsible for 71% of global CO2 emissions.

Similarly, looking to your elected representatives to grant change from above will be too little, too late.

Get involved in grassroots community organising, before it’s too late to build the sort of world we could be proud of, nobody else is going to do it for you. And by you I literally mean anybody reading this. Here are some helpful groups:

Extinction Rebellion

Earth Strike

Food Not Bombs

Food Not Lawns

Demand Utopia

[averruncusho]

Even 12 years is optimistic already. This is our defining challenge as a generation and as a race, foisted upon us by greedy politicians and billionaires. If you don’t want to die of food shortage, you better get moving, because I cannot emphasise enough the importance of dedicating everything to this singular goal. This isn’t the time for wishy-washy deliberation; that passed a 100 years ago. Action needs to be immediate. Action needs to be now.

[pangur-and-grim]

There are two climate change scenarios I was taught– this first is if we collectively get our shit together, the second is if we don’t.

Scenario 1: moderate

CO2 emissions peak in 2050, and fade out altogether by 2200 AD

Ocean gradually absorb excess, becomes carbonic acid in solution

Thermal maximum in 2200-2300 AD, 2-4 C higher than today

In 12,000 AD, temps still 1.1 C higher than today

Scenario 2: super-greenhouse

CO2 emissions peak in 2100 – 2150

Ocean gradually absorb excess, becomes carbonic acid in solution

Thermal maximum in 2500-3500 AD, 5-9 C higher than today

Full recovery takes 400-500k years

tl;dr we’re past the point of no return, and how we act now will determine the magnitude. Will the world start recovering in 12,000 years, OR will the world be dramatically altered for the next 400-500,000 years?

[averagejoey2000]

so basically it’s too late and we should do nothing, just accept that we’re gonna die and party

[pangur-and-grim]

What the fuck’s wrong with you people?

What pisses me off more than the corporations causing this mess are the people going “guess there’s no point, time to lie down and die uwu”

The post has told you we have a LIMITED TIME in which we can reduce the magnitude of climate change - how are people not understanding that we’ve gotta now collectivize and fight bitterly for our future?

You want some actionable goals, okay: go out and VOTE. Educate yourself politically with the intensity of studying for an exam. Go to town halls, call your representatives, support parties with environmental platforms, donate money and time, and above all else, SHUT DOWN the people who choose to respond with nihilism. Apathy is a poison, and we can not tolerate it.

[schnelly]

heres a whole bunch! some bubble tea villagers!

these are super fun to draw and unwind <3 it would be cool to print these as stickers or keychains but im not sure there’s much interest

[schnelly]

hey guys!

little bubble tea animal crossing series i’ve had in mind for a while! they’re super fun to do so hopefully i can do a whole bunch of villagers <3

[softskeith]

a merge of a chocolate usul and those lil meringue usul food items! for the AG ✌️

[schnelly]

I thought engineering being a lot of work was a joke but its 1:30 am and I have been working since 8 this morning.

[schnelly]

mercy sketch before class! wanna paint over it when i find some time; based off of a screenshot

[schnelly]

I love your art so much. Do you have a not neo blog for your other types of art? Or also do you have an inspiration blog maybe because I would love to see the sort of things and visuals that inspire you.

ahh thank you I never saw this! I do not actually, I feel like I should though because I collect a lot of inspo/images

I do however have a vsco cam account of my photography here which features a lot of landscapes and palettes/color schemes that inspire me
