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.

Uh huh, that has been orettyuch clear dor a long time now.

It won't, however, be possible as long as we allow the ultra rich to exist. Tax Elmo, and the likes at 99% until his worth is more manageable, say, 10 million tops.

That tax revenue will be way WAY more than enough to ensure that everyone can live nicely.

Start paying workers in poverty countries normal wages too. Ahw, prices went up? How about we stop spending billions on bullshit articles that we don't need? Endless consumerism is not productive if you want to save the planet
