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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

It's never clear whether they're more corrupt or more stupid. But they're determined to bury their heads in the sand over the most important issue ever to face humanity, and dismantle the resources the USA has to mitigate the disaster. Corrupt and stupid and delusional.
Fuck climate change, NOAA provides hurricane and heat warnings. They're what most weather providers use as the basis for telling people if you should grab an umbrella on your way out the door
Starting a culture war with the weather is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. What's your end game? Weatherman Alex Jones telling Floridians to go to the beach because the hurricane is just going to glide by safely and bring a nice cool breeze to the shore to keep you comfy?
Rush Limbaugh told his listeners that a hurricane was fake and to stay. Then the day before the hurricane, just before all the airports are shut down, he is off the air because he was "forcibly moved."

I've already seen yapping heads on sticks claiming that extreme heat warnings are fake-- for example, Neil Oliver. But he also says vaccines cause cancer, so he can fuck right off.
And if they ignore hurricane warnings to own the libs, what can you do but shrug your shoulders?
Climate change affects everybody numbnuts. It's not culture war to want a habitable and healthy planet. If that's what you think, you should talk to more scientists, and watch less tv.
I think you misinterpreted my comment, the point was they're obviously doing this because they want to continue to deny climate change, but that's like 1% of what NOAA does.
Ahh, yes I did very much. Appreciate that you were nice about it.
To be completely fair...they might also be doing it "so we stop getting bad weather"...so it is up in the air with those lunatics.
These are the same people who claim that putting in solar panels will cause the sun to run down, so what you're saying is sadly plausible.
Good lord! I haven't heard that one.

Fossil fascism in action.
They want to privatize everything.
The older I get, the more I buck prior societal trends and lean socialist.
Capitalism is a benefit only to the Parasite Class. It’s an absolute scam for everyone else.
Present!
