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

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

yay, even more acres of sterile monoculture tree farm that burn even hotter when the wildfire rips through …

(yes, replying to myself)

this would be so easy to do at a corporate level
- something along the lines of Miyawaki forests
  - more variety of trees (just say “no” to monoculture)
  - more trees
  - less space
  - less maintenance (allow the undergrowth to grow in)
but no corporation would do this
- tree farms allow them to double-dip – claim the carbon credits AND harvest the timber
- requires them to put in initial research into choosing native species

The research is already done. All they need to do is call a local university agriculture extension where they are considering a project.
