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.

People get tricked by these billionaires into thinking they’re decent, by donating to organizations run by their children. Nobody gets to be a billionaire by being moral, every single billionaire got there by stealing from the workers who did the heavy lifting, by robbing their wages and benefits. You cannot become a billionaire without taking from others. They are all a disease

gates was never decent, especially around the vaccine initiative during covid. africa criticize him of using it as a way to institute vaccine colonialism in the continent. plus he needed to distance himself from being a ruthless businessman at MS, and THE EPSTEIN FILES TOO. his charities also laundering money.
