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.

If you want a resource to direct people to for healthy eating, I really like the latest version of the Canada Food Guide, which came out a year or two ago I think. No food pyramid, emphasis on eating whole foods, encourages plant-based meals, and practical advice like "plan your meals" and "eat with others".

I'm really glad they published this guide because there was a lot of lobbying and controversy from the meat and dairy industry surrounding it, because it was encouraging plant based meals with large vegetable portions.

That's really good, I like how they made it 2 slides to convey everything rather than a lengthy pdf.
