Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

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 have yet to see commercially available pea milk where I live.

The paper is here

I had some pea chocolate milk and it was pretty okay. Think almond and oat taste better but it's not the worse (that's soy).

What's the comparative energy usage for the production process?

This seems to show that coconut milk is better and uses barely any water. Also, it's coconut milk, which is lovely.

My fiance has food allergies, including dairy & tree nuts (like almonds). Once she discovered pea milk she started making mashed potatoes again. It turns out coconut milk doesn't make a great choice. I don't remember why she doesn't like soy milk.

It's an ...acquired taste

as the graph says, cow milk wins in both the greenhouse gas emissions and water usage metrics.

Not sure if this is meant as sarcastic?
