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.

submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by bluemoon@piefed.social to c/climate@slrpnk.net
 

how do you even follow the actual broadcasts and read the actual protocol? i only pick up bits and pieces online.

anyone who has followed and wants to share the proceedings and conclusions?

COP30 is Nov 10-21. The initial Climate Action Summit is Nov 6-7, and just google it honestly (not to be too cranky, but seriously in 2025 you should be able to search info for yourself). I just googled in 10 seconds and got this: https://unfccc.int/cop30, but there are so many other resources too.

that's a bit counter-cooperative since search engines spew so much bile and adversatorial articles constitute the majority of the corpus to be found online

almost like me asking a person with experience for verified takes is called wrong, isolating into algorithms none of us have control over is called right

not pointing any offense to your person here. this is a negative cultural trend i keep disdaining - the "just google it, stop asking people" lowkey condescending and sometimes disheartening culture is having negative impact on me and others. is what i kindly mean to enlighten

edit: but thanks for sharing your knowledge of it with a link, i appreciate being able to establish that link & date atleast

I see what you're saying, but there's such a learned helplessness with the general public. They would rather make a tiktok, reddit, etc. post to ask really basic questions instead of a 5 second google. The interesting part comes from what info you're looking for and if it can be monetized and you need personal answers, but that's a very wide spectrum. You didn't say you wanted an insider's personal take, just broadcasts, protocol, proceedings, and conclusions.

When I search google for obscure information, I usually get three kinds of answers: commercial slop, social media posts that people answered with a lot of effort, and social media posts that say "just google it" or some equivalent.

My praises go out to everyone over the past decades that has answered "easily answerable questions" on social media, thanks to who we have an easily accessible corpus of answers to simple but obscure questions.

Besides, in this case they're clearly hoping someone followed it closely enough to do a solarpunkish editorialization rather than the dense material these summits produce themselves.

edit: also they didn't specify they wanted an editorialization or anything, as I said in my response
