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.

It would be easier to take this seriously if any one that questioned it wasn't bombarded with personal attacks like yours.

This tells me you have made an emotional decision that you have backfilled with science and can therefore be ignored.

I don't need to cater to you, you're in a community designed to inform people about real climate science and spread knowledge about climate change. You're talking total nonsense edging on the border of misinformation, which doesn't deserve a serious response.

You don't need to be an asshole either and yet you were anyway.

You feel my questions are nonsense. I feel that means you aren't interested in debating the science.

You feel you know the truth and anyone that doesn't accept your truth is beneath you. That will not convince anyone.

This isn't science it's an agenda. I am sorry you cannot understand the difference but the responses and downvotes I am receiving illustrate this clearly.

Again with appeals to emotion. What proof do you have that this is an agenda and not valid science apart from you don't like the conclusions?
