Has anyone else noticed that even highly upvoted climate change-related articles fall off the HN frontpage very quickly compared to similarly upvoted non CC-related articles?
I haven't noticed but it might be because some find it off-topic: "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." This seems to me something they might cover on the news.
I wish those scientists instead left academia, and started working on technology that fought climate change. Civil disobedience isn't going to do anything to change the minds of the people in China, India, and the other poor countries that are now the biggest cause of climate change.
Everyone in Finland can give up their cars, switch purely to geo or solar, become vegan, and not make a single ounce of difference.
If you're going to propose radical peaceful activism, target it against the companies who can make a difference.
Are the scientists going out and rioting as well, or just asking others to do it on their behalf?
