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.

I always want to ask these people how chemtrails work. Because aircraft have been flying around for nearly a century now and they don't appear to radically change anything. What exactly is it that the chemtrails are supposed to have done?

But also, how do chemicals make it hot? That's a new one.

This was more about the pants shitting produce that the CDC just doesn’t seem to care much about, all of our guts are full of government parasites.

This is someone who has lived next to an active Air Force base for decades and seen planes taking off 24/7 but it’s the Fox News brain rot that’s causing the issues. I hear their talking points from tv straight out of the religious relatives mouth
