Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

I have yet to see commercially available pea milk where I live.

The paper is here

Do we have to call it pea milk though?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

No. In fact, I hope the manufacturers store it in testicle-shaped bottles.

I already don't call it that.

I prefer a different spelling?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, we should call it pea mammry fluid from a different species.

Try showering in it. The experience is golden.

It's great if you can handle its pea-ness.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

My kids love drinking pea.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does it have qualities that would make it useful replacement in cooking and baking, or is it a drink alternative? The archive link isn't working for me, so sorry if this is in the article. I'm really curious.

Or the real question, does it make cheese?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pea cheese, just what I need

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Nut cheese and pea cheese - appetizing!

Well of course. Peas are a lot smaller than cows and will eat and fart a lot less.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Hell yeah, give peas a chance!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

You aren't going to pea in my milk!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s not really milk.

We should just call it pea. Already reminds us of a liquid.

Yeah if people want this to catch on you can't call it pea milk.

Peas are a type of pulse. So let's call it pulse milk that sounds a lot more appetizing :>

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Peas are just seeds, so call it seed milk.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

we don't have data for its water usage though?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Oat milk is pretty good. I recently switched over to it from soy milk and it's high in calcium and all the other nutrients. Very creamy.

Edit: damn that's batshit crazy, I should give pea milk a try.

Here's the comparison table of the nutrients in the article

The colour of it makes me feel a bit noxious. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that candy snake I found in my jacket pocket just before jumping into bed.

Yes. I was relying on autocorrect to help me out and after not finding the correct spelling after half a dozen attempts I gave up in favour of whatever that word I used is. I am on my side, half asleep.

This is one of those things that everyone understands. Like "nauseous" may not be accepted as English by some upper class conservatives in charge of writing dictionaries, but to the rest of us it's understood and frequently used.

A language is a tool to communicate, not a bunch of rules.

It's this same grammar nazi logic that leads to dialects spoken by middle class and rich white people to be the "correct" one while those spoken by black people and lower class white people are seen as "incorrect".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think everyone understood that the original commenter meant nauseous/nauseated instead of noxious. The corrector was being an annoying pedant, so I was pointing that out by correcting their “incorrect” word.

I've had pea milk, doesn't seem too rare in the UK. It was nice enough, maybe slightly watery compared to oat (my go to) but that could just have been the brand.

The comparisions are interesting, but also kind of demonstrate the futility of debating between plant based milks. There's a clear worst candidate here, and it isn't plant based. If your thinking of switching, choose your favourite, soy might be the second worst but it's significantly less than half the emmisions of cow milk.
