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.

It’s not surprising to see a man funded by big oil and other anti-progressive establishments peddling bullshit that teaches people how to be complacent idiots that punch down at the poor, non-Christian, and trans communities.

it’s not just complacent - it’s worse than that - it’s dehumanising… it’s active; complacency is passive

Thank you. This is more on point than what I said.

Funded by big oil?

The Wilks brothers are huge investors/funders of PragerU, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz’s 2016 campaign, and are the reason The Daily Wire even exists. Jordan Peterson is now on their payroll.

What is he employed as?

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 1 month ago

Not sure what he’s considered but he has a bunch of videos and material on the Daily Wire, including stuff that’s behind a subscription model.
