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.

๐Ÿ˜‚ sorry yeah. I get you. But also it's sort of sad how everything is just a "like" button and then everyone just likes or upvotes instead of saying anything. I know saying "this" isn't really contributing or saying anything. But I still feel like it has more personality that clicking a little arrow. Also I know this is not Reddit so I don't know how the algorithm works, but I thought this was a more important response to the thread than the existing top comment at the time. But I also like the idea of the "this" comment I think it's kinda funny for some reason.

But anyway yes. I was finding it hard to read the tone of the emoji in OPs comment. I'm assuming they're rolling their eyes at the article itself which is like weird capitalist propaganda. But it could be read as rolling eyes at the shoppers who won't buy the sustainable thing. So it's important to clarify that people can't afford the nicer thing right now because of capitalism and related inflation etc. Otherwise idiots like me might get confused.

Upvotes on lemmy work differently than reddit because they don't actually affect the visibility of posts or comments, a downvote doesn't do anything to hide anyone's opinions and and upvotes alone don't determine engagement for "hot" so controversial opinions aren't hidden when they have engagement.

Just like Who's Line is it Anyway, everything's made up and the points don't matter.
