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.

What US climate resources should we be archiving? (slrpnk.net)

When the Trump administration began taking down federal resources on climate change, I started pre-emptively archiving reports and data sets in the event that they're no longer accessible. That proved to be a smart move, as the NCA5 website just went dark this week. That's a huge blow to the layperson, as that was one of the most comprehensive resources on climate change for our nation. Thankfully I had the data backed up on multiple hard drives and cloud servers, so we can continue to provide this information to those who need it.

So far I've archived the following resources (which are no longer available from their official websites):

The following resources are still live, but I've archived them pre-emptively for safety:

What other US government resources might be on the chopping block? I'm primarily looking for reports and data related to climate change, resilience, and adaptation, and ideally in a downloadable format (PDF, Excel, CSV, etc.).

2x on local hard drives, 2x in the cloud. Not taking any chances with this.
