The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Teach kids about it, like the artist's did

Isn't the concept of the comic that it isn't enough?

I think the point of the comic is that it is really depressing to hear this as a kid, in ways the teacher doesn't understand.

I was an environmental educator for a while and part time activist in college but I gave up.

It really seems like an intractable problem. But I recommend Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry for the Future novel for a speculative fiction / near future grappling with how society might respond to a warming world.

Spoiler: it starts with a heat-wave natural disaster which radicalizes India into a rogue state, which then does geoengineering on its own, but this isn't enough by itself.

Just based on that summary, I immediately thought of the book Termination Shock, which has a similar premise of an actor beginning to geoengineer with global reprecussions - though it's heavier on the politics of the situation than any actionable info. If you haven't read it, I'd recommend. I'm definitely going to pick up Ministry For The Future.

I guess he should be overthrowing the oligarchy and writing a new constitution with environmental protection as one of the main focuses.

But he's a drawing, so he can't. Will you?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. No, that's not within my capabilities

[–] Damage@feddit.it -2 points 3 days ago

That's exactly the point
