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.

Nobody even asked those who you consider minorities if they really want or need the master branches of the code repositories to be renamed to main branches.

That's admittedly a bit silly. But what about "master/slave" configurations of servers or app instances? It's a bit more naked what the analogy is in those cases, and "main/standby" is arguably more informative anyway.

I think engineers can figure out what terminology to use without the help of influencers and other bla-bla-blaers who are absolutely out of context and have an intellect of "GNU grep" level.

There was recent news that the current US government removed the mention of someone(something?) just because the name was " Gay"

The same level of stupidity.
