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 did pay attention to the video. I understand what he's aiming to do with rebranding leftist ideas as "super-capitalist" I just think it's a completely braindead move. It doesn't matter how much you try to avoid the label, if you ever pose any genuine threat to capital then you will be branded as a socialist whether you are or not, even if you do manage to trick a couple gullible rubes by lying to them (which would be unlikely to work in the first place).

I have no particular problem with worker co-ops, I do absolutely have a problem with this idiotic nonsense. If you allow the socialist label to be a boogeyman you are shooting yourself in the foot, it's literally how we got here in the first place.

Do you genuinely take this clown seriously? Lmao.

You learn the left-bashing well lmao. Just default to it immediately whenever confronted with criticism you can't answer.

Is this y'all's version of theory, where you get this shit from? Good to finally know where the shitlibs on here come from, I kinda assumed it was some random YouTube personality.
