Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I do not want to fight climate change unless we have an egalitarian society worth fighting for. I've had older folk ask me why they don't see zoomers recycling as much as they do - this is why.
Also you're wrong. The most positive climate impact you can have is not having a kid, not having a car and not flying, in that order. But none of these will do anything meaningful when Musk emits more on his private jet alone than I could in a lifetime.
Also the meat you don't eat mostly just gets tossed because vegans are such a tiny minority it's not even worth downscaling production in any meaningful sense.

I do not have any kids, that's why I don't have to worry about your attitudes. But it is not a single thing we have to change, it all has to change.
Transport accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions ...Aviation – while it often gets the most attention in discussions on action against climate change – accounts for only 11.6% of transport emissions.
Food is responsible for approximately 26% of global GHG emissions.
Research suggests that if everyone shifted to a plant-based diet we would reduce global land use for agriculture by 75%
Clark et al. show that even if fossil fuel emissions were eliminated immediately, emissions from the global food system alone would make it impossible to limit warming to 1.5°C and difficult even to realize the 2°C target. Thus, major changes in how food is produced are needed if we want to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Where I live meat production goes down already, but you not having a kid will not change anything because you not getting laid was so predictable that every climate model considered it already.
E: Nice touch that you did not refute that meat is bad for your health and now focus on "but there are other things too"
I like how you ignored everything I said about societal inequities lol.
You people are nutters, drinking from mushy straws isn't gonna save us, nothing short from a global revolution will.
And even if it might soften the impact slightly let me state once more: I do not give a shit. Unless we burn the rich first, the earth can burn.
