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.

Don’t, and will never, own a home due to greedy landlords.

Don’t care.

This will still impact you and in ways that will be immediately apparent. The loss of houses means that those former home owners will have to find new property to purchase - only to see the same astronomical price tag you see. So they become renters. That sudden impact on the demand for places to live will find apartments and landlords can now find many more people, some very desperate with a lump sum of a settlement or insurance payout (but not enough to buy another home), that will pay much more than you can. And they don't budget well, which is why they lived in a poor state that flooded so much insurance companies got scared, so they spend way too much without consideration for how long they can afford rent at such high prices.

But hey, you are right about greedy landlords.
