The most extreme thing to do about climate change is nothing.
Going a bit analogue. For kids, such a thing has educational value. And it is in real units!

Every little victory against fascism counts.
Good news: a federal judge in Texas by the name of Fred Biery just ordered the release of Liam Ramos and his father. ICE had no right to exploit a five year old boy to lure his father into their grasp. All the more reason to abolish ICE, as it is a state sanctioned domestic terrorist organization.

The most effective action: To financially support projects such as solar or wind power, or clean cooking stoves in poorer countries.
The average Canadian emits 15 t of CO2 per year. At marketplace.goldstandard.org (supported by WWF, Suzuki Foundation, ...) one can be CO2 <0 with ~$300 per year.

A new MRI protocol can scan the human brain and its venous network in under 7 minutes at 0.35 mm iso. resolution, marking it as a potential tool for diagnosing cerebrovascular diseases and monitoring neurodegeneration.

Some optimistic news: Total installed PV capacity is now > 2TW peak. Assuming a modest capacity factor of 15%, the produced electricity corresponds to about 50% of all nuclear reactors.

Eine an Multipler Sklerose leidende IT-Security-Spezialistin hat die Paywall ihres Rollstuhls gehackt.
Der Rollstuhl hat 6.000 € gekostet, zur Freischaltung einiger Funktionen muss man aber extra zahlen.
Das Ding kommt übrigens von der deutschen Firma "Albers".
