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.

There's some good vegan recipe communities here on lemmy if you want some inspiration

!veganhomecooks@lemmy.world

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).
