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.

Once a climate leader, Canada is now doubling down on oil | Mark Carney is counting on Alberta’s oil sands to help him survive Trump’s trade agenda. (grist.org)

Neoliberals have no spine and no sense of principles/morals that their fanatical desire to sustain the status quo and its decorum won't violate.

They are incapable of leading, only following, no matter how powerful they are.

Yeah. UK loosened sanctions on oil today soon. Weird how 2 neolibs came up with similar ideas independently.

Methinks pressure is being exerted somewhere.

Yeah fuck this guy and fuck Albertas conservatives too, this country is feeling climate change hard already with record heat waves, unstable polar vortex giving us 8 month winters, forest fires fucking EVERYWHERE

This geriatric POS should get fucked with a cactus in a forest fire
