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.

wait until the cult of vroom - the pavement princesses and motorheads whos trucks, race cars and hogs consume ridiculous amounts - have to put their toys away because their man trump, who hates them, but hates wind and decency more, decided he could figure out MIDEAST PEACE BY WAY OF BOMBS because he's so fuckin clever.

fuck 'em, but unfortunately the hits to fertilizer and the poor will hurt a lot more than their bullshit.

no amount of prep will save the species. we're driving the bus right over the cliff and our foot is still pushing the gas.

Don't worry to offset the oil being expended Trump will find another country to invade and take their supplies instead, America first remember?

I don't think it's a matter of finding new oil, it's a matter of finding some way to convince the world at large not to fuckin burn it.
