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 had someone tell me the other day that the whole worlds gonna get cancer and end because 5g network towers have to be 400 yards apart and within 10 years everyone's gonna have cancer and die ending the world. I was like while I don't think radio waves are good for us, I had to ask.. What pipe are you smoking off of?

Remember when everyone that got the COVID shot would be dead in 2 years.

These are Christian nationalists, they love death cults.

I guess when the FCC collapses during the next administration I can finally implement my project idea that does text transcription and then just automatically starts broadcasting Ram Ranch whenever hate speech is detected.

Nobody is using FM on 80m and SSB is AM with extra steps.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I was referring to the nutbars on the 80m ragchew, not what modulation it uses.
