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.

I hope the only disable it with the intent of re-enabling it the moment this asshole isn't in power anymore.

Sadly, that's not how any of this works. They can't just add fundamental functionality and censors in a firmware update on January 21st 2029 if there's still even presidential elections then.

Besides, who knows if any of it will even still work after all the accelerant the fascists are throwing on the fire?

Yes, they can. Source: we do this all the time.

Except for the fact that weather satellites aren't iPhones: there's not a new generation every year or even every decade and they're nowhere near as upgradable as (some) consumer electronics.
