Fridays For Future is a movement started by Great Thunberg. It’s goal is to put pressure on politics to fulfill the Paris agreement.
FFF is doing strikes every Friday, with major events once in a while. Before the Covid pandemic, participant numbers reached millions worldwide. The next big one is today, with events around the globe: https://fridaysforfuture.org/action-map/map/
In practical terms, a FFF strike is a regular, orderly, peaceful, announced demonstration, free and safe for everyone to participate. If your country supports these citizens rights, of course.
Very well! Sunny weather, much more people than expected, good speeches, funny posters, amazing bands, no serious incidents. Now all that’s missing is politics listening to the scientist.
There’s basically no chance of Mars ever being more habitable then Earth, the atmosphere is 100x thinner there. Like even in the worst climate change scenario you can imagine we’d still be better off living here.
Eventually, either through choice or because of climate change, we’ll go up. And this work is important for that.
However harsh and hostile Earth can become due to climate change. Rest assured, Mars is harsher and more hostile.
Whatever terraforming efforts we put into Mars to change that, would be easier, cheaper and more effective put into Earth.
Other factors favor Earth over Mars which are entirely unaffected by climate change:
There literally is no planet B. Also, tomorrow (15th Sept) is another FFF strike (on Earth).

Thanks! How did it go?

Nice 🙂
That’s a damn good explanation
I disagree that Martian colonization in inevitable. I’d like to see it, but I’d also like to end poverty.
If we can prioritize sustainability research and development by calling it a Mars mission I’m not inherently opposed.

You’re right, it’s totally easier to colonize another planet than it is to mitigate the effects of climate change 🤦
Politically, yeah.
People in power or with money might go. You and me will stay so we better treat earth right :)
