Do you have a tag specifically for stuff about the climate crisis/what is being done/can be done to help stop or reverse its effects?

Basically just read a post that was "I'm not trying to be alarmist but- *spends seven paragraphs about how climate change is inevitable, we will never possibly recover from it, it's not global warming anymore its global "boiling", none of the damage can ever be undone and we're all going to be dead in the next five generations*" and I'm trying.. very hard not to spiral from it.

Sorry for bothering you 🙏

The "climate crisis" "climate change" and "climate hope" tags should do the trick.

Of those, "climate change" is the one that has the most content by far, just because the others are more narrow and "climate hope" is a much more recent term, so to speak, because I keep forgetting about it lol

I don't post anything that's not good news, so you can go through the general "climate change" tag without fear

Also, while I'm at it, that person is wrong. For a lot of reasons, including that we're actively fixing a lot of damage to ecosystems literally right now. And also also, GLOBAL WARMING WILL BE AT LEAST SOMEWHAT REVERSIBLE

Why? Well, the rise in average global temperatures is caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we keep fixing the planet, restoring ecosystems, and stop burning fossil fuels, nature will siphon more and more of the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

And if there's less carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gasses) in the atmosphere, then more heat can once again escape the planet and radiate out into space

Will this be easy? Probably not! This planet's natural systems are incomprehensibly complicated - but that also means there are solutions out there that we haven't even discovered. There are some additional problems to overcome, like the fact that the oceans will be surfacing excess heat for a few decades after we stop CO2 emissions, and also "natural gas" and "carbon capture" are fake solutions/oil company traps.

But we can do it. I so, so, so sincerely believe that.

One term that I think we'll be seeing more and more of in the coming years is "Drawdown": "Climate drawdown refers to the future point in time when levels of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline.[1] Drawdown is a milestone in reversing climate change and eventually reducing global average temperatures." (from wikipedia)

We can achieve drawdown. Will life in the future look very different? Yes, in both good and bad ways.

Climate change is the earth's "feedback" to humanity: "Fix your shit or die."

People are, in general, really, really, really committed to finding ways not to die.

I genuinely believe the rest of us can overcome the few dozen billionaires trying to screw the rest of us over. Money is powerful, but the remaining 7 billion plus people on this planet are more so. And the fortunes of billlionaires are made off the backs of the rest of us - which means we can make those fortunes run dry.

Sources for this answer (warning, these talk about the negative side of things a lot too, they're not the uplifting reads themselves. that's next): x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x

Other sources to read for hope: FutureCrunch, Project Drawdown and Project Regeneration good news websites in general such as Positive News and Goodgoodgood, which I think are the best content fits for what you're looking for. Make sure to check out Goodgoodgood's roundups specifically. And know that there are way, way more good news stories - and way bigger ones, too - than I've had time to post about lately, because work has been really hectic

Scars burns and body headcanons

Broly’s entire body is very rough and is almost perpetually sunburnt, in fact when he is touched it actually hurts him ever so slightly but he never really mentions it because it’s just something he deals with and honestly he thinks it’s the way everyone feels when they get touched to. This is partly because Vampa at it’s coldest is between 65 and 66 degress celsius, aka 149-151 degress farenheit, and in the hotter days it reaches upwards of 95-100 degress celsius, aka 193-212 degrees farenheit. During those times he has to be very quick in doing anything outside of the caves because the burns come very quickly and are very painful.

This is also why he is almost always covered in sweat and, honestly, stinks quite a bit as if he had just worked out for three hours straight pushing himself.

This also means his body is covered with scars as the burns heal, and his body is a bit tense constantly, the scars from the burns are very easy to notice as well. He does also have a few scars from being hit and fighting for food, mostly from when he was younger and still barely able to do much with any thought, he does have a few new ones from his fight with Gogeta as well, when he was hit by the Spirit Breaker and the Chakra enhanced punches, but those are mostly overtop other scars he already had.

In fact when he feels someone who isn’t scarred touching him he is astonished at how soft their skin feels and he wonders how they manage it. He could, quite honestly, spend hours just gently touching and tracing the skin of someone with soft skin that he is close to, such as Kusu (Main verse) or Chirai (Any verse really), and it is one of his favorite acts of intimacy with people he cherishes, to just....touch, trace, and gently feel their bodies.

His lips are also in a constant perpetual state of callous and scarring from being burned regularly, and when anyone does feel any part of him against them, especially lips, it would be similar to feeling sandpaper on ones skin.
