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.

If only we could've predicted this outcome somehow.

If only we did what we knew we had to these last 40 years.

Fuck that shit. If it comes to it, I'm moving further north. Nothing good ever happened in 30°C weather

wait, you only get 30°C weather?

[–] mrlockthorne@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

30° sounds nice, it's gonna be 42° next week where I am.

We're about to hit 30 C up in Stockholm, so you're likely going to have quite far up north.

Also, Skellefteå got 33 C last summer, so we're talking very far up north.
