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.

No, he relied on AI.

Proteins, followed by fibers. Avoid sugar. It’s that easy. Not vegan but some of them can do it. Fish is good; barring that you can get some proteins elsewhere. Not all. But good enough for them.

I mean, is it really that easy? Do I need a certain amount of dietary fat each day? Does saturated vs unsaturated fat matter? Avoid sugar, okay, can I eat fruit with breakfast? What about carrots? Oh you mean avoid added sugar. Then can I use honey instead? Fish is good, can I have canned tuna every day?

And so on and so on. You’re not wrong, but pretty much any attempt at a short summary like this runs into issues when it comes time to start planning meals. There’s actually a lot of important things that go into which the general public doesn’t yet have a strong consensus for

It can be easy, but you’re right, there are a lot of nuances. I mentioned vegans because vegans are common on Lemmy. There’s also allergies.
