Environmental and ecological discussion, particularly of things like weather and other natural phenomena (especially if they're not breaking news).
See also our Nature and Gardening community for discussion centered around things like hiking, animals in their natural habitat, and gardening (urban or rural).

That jadedness is exactly what fossil corpos want from us. The less our governments do, the longer they'll keep raking in subsidies and filling their pockets.
Carbon reduction still needs to be top priority even while we prepare for the worst case.
Sadly, big companies truly do not care. I was part of a net-zero project at my company (major polluter/CO2 emitter) and it is getting cut right now. I joined in hopes of helping fix it, but I simply can't fight endless bureaucracy and rich people.
I can only speak for my project, but it's not even just the CEO/board in my case. Mid-levels burned so much money that the project became completely infeasible (ie. negative return and scaling would make it worse).
