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.

What are you doing about it aside from preaching to the choir? If you know it’s impossible for large chunks of the population to just up and move why are you being a dick about it?

I didn't know telling you to start planning and start doing something about your situation rather than just bitch about people "Hoping that I die because I can't be assed to start moving away!" Was being a dick. But take care, I hope all works well for you.

Oh, well it’s a dick move to tell people to make more money. In case you didn’t know that. Take care!

Moving doesn't require money just so you know. Its very very possible to grab the things on your back and physically move yourself. If you haven't quite understood that, then I'm sorry I had to paint it in such a picture. Its why I said "Not everyone can do this" but pretending money is the problem is an excuse.

Where can you live without money? What if I’m in a wheelchair?

If you are disabled this is an entirely different conversation and you should be angry with the goverment for not assisting you more.

You’re not getting it, nobody deserves it and everybody should be angry with the government for not assisting any of us.
