I'm (obviously) very involved in climate change and how tech (very represented in the HN community) can play a role in fixing it: many are asking themselves the question on how they can do something about it.

I want to help these people find a spot where they can find like-minded people interested on working on it - and I believe climate change posts on HN are a good match between people concerned about the climate, and who would be interested in joining tech communities working to fix it. I'm all ears to find other ways to give people avenues to work on their "climate" anxiety - let me know if you have better ideas.

If you're very much involved in climate change issues and want to make an effect on the tech crowd then you might as well partake yourself with meaningful comments in the relevant discussions here on Hacker News, offering your wealth of information and expertise to the community. That would further your cause while also giving back to people. Merely spamming is... just spamming.

I'm concerned about the starving people in sub Saharan Africa. It would still be inappropriate for me to constantly spam you about it, regardless of how hungry they are.

Yes. Absolutely. I am concerned about the security/surveillance state. I understand this and try to apologize when I start going on about it.

I love HN, but it's gotten so that if it's a weekend or U.S. holiday, it's climate stories. I'm happy to ignore them, but the site itself is beginning to look a bit preachy on this particular topic.

So, the person copy pasting shouldn’t do that, but....I would expect the volume of climate stories to get larger, not smaller.

The issue is growing in urgency and severity. By social convention people treat it like any other issue, but it drawfs anything else in terms of the scale of the problem.

So it’ll remain relevant to the forum, which tends to do a better joh weighting things based on importance. That said the discussions likely verge on repetitive.

Got the feedback - will change behavior and post less.

Noble as your motives are, you're still spamming and that's not the intention of this forum.

There are "Show HN:" posts...perhaps that's a better option for you.

Thanks for the feedback - I could try Show HN: in the future. Will reduce the posting frequency from now on.
