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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Genuinely I might end up going vegan for mostly financial reasons
There's some good vegan recipe communities here on lemmy if you want some inspiration
!veganhomecooks@lemmy.world
!veganrecipes@sh.itjust.works
Thanccs :3
And 90% of them tend to be shit that tastes or looks good.
I have some ugly, tasteless tofu ready instead. Now to figure out how to season it to make it edible without overdosing on it.
And I still had to include 4 eggs. It's more ethical than eating the animal itself, but still...
Had to reread that like 5 times to realize you were not saying that you thought those were bad recipes
That's 90% of the problem. People can't read, get upset, bring on the mob, torches, and pitchforks.
I say shit anyway.
I love vegetarian food but they can pull eggs and dairy from my cold dead hands. I will never give either of those up ever.
Ironically, I hate eggs, unless they are like Pancakes or cakes, I love cheese/milk, but I cannot live without Vitamin B12, and I feel reinforced defeats the point. There's some unstable ones from microorganisms on certain mushrooms. You can't predict if it is present or not, which is a problem.
I secretly tried to go full vegan, though I would be open to eating meat and such, I didn't want to DEPEND on anything that walks, I wanted vegeterian to be the food basis.
I also do thing it is a good practice to practice non-harm (issue with the animals themselves, I do NOT enjoy knowing something has to die or be exploited for me to eat, I do not want to live that way), but I also want to get away with it by using fake meat like Tofu, without doing the whole "I'm vegan you fucking carno-murderhobos!". I want to pretend to be a carno, I'd also eat roadkill, so long as I don't depend on it (it is more about resources and safety than purely ethics, ethics too though).
Vegetarian but when I don't have my kids I'm kinda already there. It's so good for your heart health as well btw. There's no where for your fibre intake to go but up. I would suggest talk to a nutritionist though because you will very likely need a supplement or two there are some vitamins/minerals that are just hard to get from vegetable sources at the volume you get from meat.
