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.

None of this has ever happened or been done before. You think Putin would ever stand trial and get convicted by a jury? The system is far from perfect but your ignorant bullshit doesn’t hold a candle to it. You’re just like the morons campaigning for a collapse because you’re too naive, ignorant, and unmotivated to do anything at a local scale to influence progressive change. You want a plate served clean with only your feelings neatly arranged and anything else warrants systematic destruction. The only thing that separates you from trump is the chair you’re sitting in, some made up money, and presumably being convicted of 34 felonies for defrauding the public to undermine an election.
