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.

This is so transparently projecting from the fact that you can't answer by naming a single policy or regulation, which is pretty sad. Go ahead. The NYT listed 100 of them; it should be easy to find at least one. And you're in a Solarpunk community to boot, so I'm sure you care enough about the environment that you keep up with this news, right? You're not just concern trolling about an issue you don't actually keep up with to get in a shallow "own" against the Biden administration and then scrambling to save face when it's pointed out you don't know shit about fuck, right?

People asking simple questions makes you really mad

Are you admitting you can't name even one?
