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.

Then vote against them. We have two parties, fascist trending, and hodgepodge of non fascist trending.

Judging by how you have been commenting literally all night in US time, with a large portion of your posts about how the US sucks, with a 7 hour old account, I wonder if you aren't a foreign Psy op, but I guess it's possible that you're a night shifter. The comment about Biden and abortion doesn't sound like someone who knows about US politics and government. You seem to take issue with voting. High voter turnout usually means Dems win. We know which party certain world leaders prefer...

Given all that and how we literally have an election tomorrow, the evidence just screams Psy Ops. I'm sincerely sorry if I am wrong, but it is like finding someone at a murder scene covered in blood, holding a weapon, that doesn't like the victim, at a time when most people are in bed.

both support genocide of native peoples, both are war mongering bastards, both invaded iraq and afghanistan, both killed libya

i could go on

I think they're both the same when it comes to it. America is Fascist to the core, its genocide part has already succeeded though.

you are taking a lot of leaps and bounds to justify in your mind that im some fucking russian bot. Its really chill when you get branded a traitor for not standing with the party, which sounds awfully like something america would critique everyone else for.

I live in hawaii, no not in those hotels, not the pristine mansions, the real Hawaii. You remember it? The sovereign nation ya'll took over, ethnically cleansed, and currently are genociding and stealing from? They didn't forget you. Not at all. Democrats have a stronghold here, but they usually do nothing for anyone and everything for the landowners and tourist industry. They are worthless. I'd prefer hawaiians have their own national party, and separate from the US entirely. Like it should have been anyway. But i suppose native sovereignty is a psyop too? They're all psyops, so we must crush all anti american movements like those.

its hawaii, midnight just about, but my sleep schedule is horrendous. But I guess thats nothing compared to your paranoia i guess.

The US has done some terrible things, genecide more than once. I'm not a huge fan of the Democrats either, but right now they are the lesser of the two evils and a pretty broad party. First past the post voting inevitably leads to two parties.

Saying both parties are the same is complete bullshit. Assuming you really just live in Hawaii, you can continue to spread your not voting nonsense and help the party that just elected a speaker that would be just fine forcing everyone to be a Christian and denies humans role in the climate situation. Speaking of that, this is a climate community. Let's not derail discussions with some unrelated political issues.

Sure things suck in a lot of ways. You don't think voting matters, what is your alternative?
