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.

You can hate the pedophiles and rapists and still think what he does is creepy too. It’s not a sliding scale of dickbag where the more awful shit they do the more okay it is to do less awful shit. I can’t believe you got 7 upvotes for that.

Him being "creepy" is just your opinion that is shared pretty widely

Rapist and pedos are criminals and get away with it because they are part of the club.

Bringing up that hollywood is pedos amd rapists woll generally get downvotes while two consenting adults using each is apparently an issue worth society's attention.

Thats some whacked out priorities is my point here.
