Why politics on Lichess?

If you hadn't worked it out many of the extinction rebellion people are communists.

I'm confused...Where is the politics?

it's climat, climat is the cause of our factories,

I wonder why all of you are bothered with just ONE ad(And very important one) ? For comparision chess,com uses 100 times more ads,and somehow is still the best chess website.If you started thinking more about future on Earth,or how it will look like in for example,100 years...There can be many possibilities: ice in polar regions might melt,and flood will occur in cities that are near oceans or big seas.There are only one kind of intelligent creatures on Earth: us,humans! No intelligent life was met so far,even in the whole universe.If we do not save our planet now,then nobody will do that.

Just last thing: Sorry for my bad english,and have a good day :)

Arguments about climate change always descend into mudslinging. Take Greta for example: she is not saying anything new, yet the main arguments are "what does she know?" or "she's just a child". Both these arguments are invalid IMO, because the source of information isn't Greta herself, it's however many climate scientists. Go argue with them.

Of course, arguing with climate change deniers is futile. Take the following "different angle"

"What have we got to lose from using renewable energy sources? We won't rely on oil, which will eventually run out, air quality will improve, and it costs less. Win win.". Sounds like a no-brainer to me, but some think otherwise.

Another argument which can't be carried out: "We won't know if climate change predictions are accurate until the time they refer to has come, by which time it could be too late.". This can't be used because the knee-jerk defense is "Ah ha, so you admit you might be wrong! Ergo, climate change is a hoax!". Fallacious argument I know, but I've heard people use it.

At least @risky-chess admits it's an ad.

Please Lichess, if you're going to do this; change your description to: "We'll have some ads endorsing movements such as Climate Change."

I understand people being upset about an ad on lichess, even if it is there for a good reason.
However, people denying that climate change isn't something that is going to affect us need to be informed on the situation right now.
I think that Greta is doing a great job by informing those people. This might not be something that will affect our generation (whatever that is), but this will surely have an impact on future generations to come.

So thank you lichess for being such a great site and providing these resources for free!
Love you all <3

Well, I still did not see anything, but it must be such a sad life to come to chess in order to avoid basic scientific knowledge... to use chess to numb yourself away from reality instead of using it to enrich your life... this is sad.

I came here to play chess and to get away from everything in the world except those 64 squares. This post is to let the designers of lichess know where I stand. It's not that I disagree or agree with the message of the injected advertisment. That said.... I'll be showing myself the door. over and out,
