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.

Climate skeptics have new favorite graph; it shows the opposite of what they claim | It actually makes the case that CO₂ is the dominant control on Earth’s temperature (www.theclimatebrink.com)

These people don't read shit. They just recycle whatever an influential Conservative posts.

Years ago, there were a ton of them posting this academic article that claimed to debunk the statistic that something like 92% of all academic articles on climate showed that man-made problems were causing global warming. All the fucking shitfucks posted a link to the article with some bullshit along the lines of 'SEE EVEN SCIENTISTS SAY IT ISN'T REAL LOL LIBTARDS!!!!'

Turns out the article was only asserting that something like 89% of the aforementioned articles showed anthropogenic global warming. Not a single one of the fucking idiots who posted the article as some sort of rebuttal even bothered reading the damn thing.

And the other 8% were shilling for fossil-fuel companies-- most of them knowingly.
