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.

A new review shows that more than three decades of climate “fingerprint” research has provided overwhelming evidence that greenhouse gas emissions are driving changes throughout Earth’s climate system.

I don't know about these scientists.

Look, my cousin's uncle says he knows this guy and he says the earth gets cooler and warmer all the time.

So, I did my own research and found some videos on youtube that said this was true!

Now he says I should investigate the lie that the earth is round.

Turns out my dad already figuted it all out. Global warming is all a government conspiracy, weather is controlled by HAARP as a cover up for the chemtrails which are poison meant to kill 13 out of every 14 people. This is somehow all for the Rothschild family.

Any day now, right? Been what, 30+ years they've been saying this shit?

Right, I actually meant to close with “any day now it’s going to start happening”.. it’s just a bonkers way of thinking…
