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.

Hopefully just a fine, but choosing to represent herself was a bad idea.

Yeah..... I'm still on the fence about this organization. The tinfoil hat wearing part of me finds it awfully suspicious that this student is the only one being taken to court, despite her not being the organizer.

Why is she defending herself in court if she represents a ngo with funding? Why doesn't Just Stop Oil utilize some of their funding from their primary funder Climate Emergency Fund to defend their own people?

Hell, CEF is run by a Getty and a Kennedy...... Why are they sending kids to face prosecution and abandoning them?

Idk, I guess I just don't trust a billionaire oil heiress or a modern Kennedy to actually care about anything but themselves.
