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.

Did you really think we vote away facism? You really think we live in a fucking democracy because we get to vote every two years?

While voting rights are eroding and distribution of power is a problem, do you really think this is what a dictatorship looks like?

living in your shitty white settler regime

so you really actually think we are. You live in a lie, how do you not see how corrupt it is. Lobbying is literally legalized bribery that isn't a fucking democracy.

even a harvard study says we are a plutocracy, not any republic or democracy

I’m not American, nor do I live in the US.

Ah, you're a troll, missed that part, that's on me. Have a good day then I suppose.

a troll? Im very clear about my intentions, and am here to state my true opinions. Trolling is when you deceive people in order to infuriate them. I think you just don't have a response so instead of just fucking off you've come back to pretend you've done something. Reply with something real or just fuck off.
