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.

How much activities are warming climate in 2024

Using scientific datasets, the project applies stats to calculate contributions in 2024.

Energy is notably extracted by investor-owned companies based in NATO countries. The biggest corporate contributors are ExxonMobil, Shell, BP. The carbon-equivalent flux is 5.6 G/year.
Instead following The Paris Agreement countries should decrease annual output by 2% every year.

Extraction of fossil fuels steadily increases: http://data.yt/projections/ @climate

Not really. metrics are always skewed towards animal farming (note the other response is pretty spot on).

If you habe a mostly plant based diet, more power to you!
