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.

Title taken from the article version of this newsletter, but linking the newsletter since that doesn't have a paywall.

Tesla no longer being the leader in EV production can only be good for global Climate, given that the CEO is a right-wing moron who doesn't actually care about real solutions to climate change. People getting rid of their ICE cars and replacing them with bikes and public transportation will be the ultimate solution, but good luck convincing Americans.

Wait'll the photo I attached becomes the big batteries....then try and repeat your sentence about it being the ultimate solution..

The problem is just humans in general..we consume WAY too much. Changing from oil to lithium and thinking it's good for the environment is just leaning into more lies and lobbying. There is no solution but to stop, and that will never happen.

I want horses and carriages back.
