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.

All these cheap garbage websites should be banned outright. Why do we need $1 childrens toys and kitchen utensils covered in lead paint? Or $1 fast fashion shit that will come in the wrong size anyways probably, and even if it doesnt, will probably fall apart faster than a piece of tissue paper?

Fuck these garbage websites already

You want governments to ban websites like this by which method exactly? As far as we know they're not doing anything illegal. Trust me, you don't want government that bans stuff willy nilly.

Theyre selling all kinds of shit that is dangerous to American consumers. And everything that isnt is still junk that ends up in landfills. Its not willy nilly, and I very much want them banned.

They also take money away from American businesses. What exactly is the argument for why they should not be banned? Other than your vaguely libertarian outlook?
