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.

Yes, fuck a pedophile trying to PR his way into "good guy" status.

Lots of evil white folks go into third world in their old age, where their money is worth 100 times more (yay colonialism) and play "saint". Their PR then turns it into an "altruism" campaign.

Trump is probably planning the same. And I'm fucking sure yankistanis and dumb people will bend over backwards to defend him cuz all the tax breaks, money silos into their own pockets are hidden behind layers and layers of shell companies and non profits. And he will get the bush treatment.

"Eh? He might have been a war criminal, but he paints now and is friends with Gobamahs wife, so cute"

Disgusting, to say the least.

Does that absolve them of the shit human they've been all their lives?

Why do you think the third world is the way it is? These children fucking billionaires are exploiting their resources one way or another, directly or indirectly with whole lot of corruption involved.

Gullible people like you elevating them to their artificially manufactured status are how the rich get to do evil exploitative shit and then manipulate "good deeds" into PR points so they and their family are more likeable.

Fuck you and Fuck Bill Gates!
