Have YOU read it?

The Abrahamic god, quite literally, commands Saul to commit infanticide and femicide…1 Samuel 15:3

This kind of behaviour is EXACTLY what I’d expect from anyone who follows an Abrahamic religion.

Based on what I’ve experienced from the vast majority of climate and environment moaners, it’ll never be met.

Damned Atheist @damnedatheist.bsky.social · 19h

The earth has apparently reached its first climate tipping point. We can both work together to try to reach the next one faster.

As I said, you can go ahead and continue to exacerbate climate change to satisfy your pleasure but you have absolutely no leg to stand on; judging anyone else for their preferences.

You don’t “do your part” you do what you want…an so will I. While you exploit animals, I’ll burn fossil fuel.

Damned Atheist @damnedatheist.bsky.social · 1d

You’re pretending climate change is a hoax yourself. Look at your own consumption before pointing fingers at everyone else.

Make you a deal; I’ll continue to burn fossil fuel for my pleasure, whilst you continue to exploit animals for yours, deal?

You’re welcome, I’m more than happy to help contribute through my fossil fuel consumption, but give yourself a pat on the back as well, you’ve also helped make climate change a reality! 👏

Damned Atheist @damnedatheist.bsky.social · 1d

You’re doing damage yourself. Perhaps you should look at your own practices before you start pointing fingers at everyone who doesn’t exacerbate climate change their own way way you prefer to; makes your rantings fascistic

Screw off with your hypocritical moaning about how others exacerbate climate change. You‘re more than happy to contribute to climate change for your own pleasure.

While you exploit animals, I’ll happily use and promote data centres and fossil fuels, for my pleasure.

Damned Atheist @damnedatheist.bsky.social · 1d

Another “climate moaning” hypocrite.

Instead of moaning about lawns, take care of your own impact. You have absolutely no leg to stand on, criticising anyone else for their impact; when you’re happy to exacerbate the same problem, just in the way you prefer to do it

Wedderburn-Bisshop’s research makes it clear: if we count emissions honestly, the biggest culprit isn’t oil or gas - it’s the global exploitation of animals for food. Fossil fuels must go. But the future isn’t just about clean energy.

Fossil Fuels Are Bad, Animal Agriculture Is Worse

The fact that a practice has been in place for centuries, doesn’t justify the continued use of the practice, especially when alternatives exist.

Damned Atheist @damnedatheist.bsky.social · 2d

Sure, but that just means that the landscape has been razed for centuries.

Wolves and bears have been extinct in the UK for centuries, quite literally exposing just how badly the UK has failed with regards to biodiversity...and that’s on a macro scale, larger mammals tend to go extinct first

Ah, what a pity.

Damned Atheist @damnedatheist.bsky.social · 3d

THIS is why the UK is in the bottom 7% of world biodiversity index.

Imagine what it would have looked like if all that pastureland hadn’t come from the decimation of woodlands…instead we have pasture as far as the eye can see and the odd tree that was “allowed“ to remain and we think it’s beautiful

A very pleasant slow exploration of Rainster Rocks this afternoon. It’s just outside the Peak District National Park so not a soul about on this beautifully warm and sunny Saturday.

All violence is interlinked. Our cruel, malevolent treatment nonhuman animals is the precursor & predictor of dehumanisation. A world that normalises atrocities committed upon other sentient individuals is a world where people will defend & cheer on a genocide

#OneBillionScreams

A young macaque monkey in a vivisection laboratory grasps the metal device that cruelly holds him in a headlock, and screams in distress and terror.

I was exposed to vivisection and realised the depths of human depravity. The hypocrisy that we, as a species, have any moral justification for exploiting another species, whilst decrying exploitation within our own, was made apparent to me.

There was no social media when I went vegan.

⏰ Without ending meat, dairy and fishing asap, we cannot stay below 3°C by 2040.

Burning fossil fuels is like smoking and risks lung cancer in the future.

Deforestation for tortured animal foods is like cutting out our lungs and heart today.

The other panelists kept droning on about immigrants “not integrating”

The super-rich who threaten to leave if they’re taxed a tiny portion of their wealth, aren‘t willing to participate in the social, cultural, and economic life of our society; they’re less “integrated” than most immigrants

Damned Atheist @damnedatheist.bsky.social · 4d

Particularly ones like yourself, happy to exploit for your own gain, while criticising others who do the same.

I’m glad to be helping you ensure that your son has no future. We can work towards this together. Right now I’m burning fossil fuel that I could otherwise have chosen not to…SOLIDARITY.

1

Damned Atheist @damnedatheist.bsky.social · 4d

And by the same token, I couldn’t care less about your opinion (especially your hypocritical climate change moaning)

We do have some solidarity though, some common ground…neither of us could care less about your son’s future.

That’s not great 😣. Was worth a try, gallbladder would have been an easy one to catch. I’ve known 4 people who have had pain issues and it’s come down to the gallbladder.

Damned Atheist @damnedatheist.bsky.social · 4d

If the pain is in your upper right abdomen, have you had your gallbladder imaged for stones?

Does the pain come after a meal (especially ones that are high in oils and fats) and in waves?

When investigating egg farms, I had to mercy kill some birds who fell through the cracks due to broken bones and were drowning in their own poop.

Ask me who I'd save if we were on the Titanic:
A) Humans
B) Animals

Until people in the climate movement very publicly stop eating meat and flying, we're not going to seem trustworthy.

I will die on this hill.

David Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 11d

Meat is a blind spot for people who care about climate. When I used to have dinner with my colleague Wally Broecker, the climate scientist who coined the term “global warming”, he would always order a steak.

Damned Atheist @damnedatheist.bsky.social · 4d

It irks people to hear it but I literally couldn’t care less.

I joined climate activists in reducing because I thought they’d actually follow the science and eliminate animal exploitation in favour of their’s and their offspring’s future. I was wrong…so they can continue and I’ll emit what I feel
