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.

I was taught that if your visualization is less intuitive than a spreadsheet, you need to reevaluate your approach. Why the heck would you code the year of the occurrence in color?

This "data" raises more questions than provides info. Ridiculous.

Yeah and climate for two years, that doesn't tell anything.

Vote right-wing. I'm sure it'll solve it.

Obvious issues with this DataVis aside, the way I understand this, we're going to be seeing 50°C+ way more regularly.

Way more people will die from heat in the coming years and only the rich are prepared.

What a shame you didn't include 2021

Holy shit, Mayotte on a world map. ...or maybe it's Comoros ?

It’s a cycle and us pumping millions of tons a year of carbon dioxide into the air doesn’t affect it.

In ten years we’ll be in an ice age and you’ll pray for global warming.
