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.

ChatGPT will be the first to fall. Claude will linger because programming uses a textbook-taught model. Nobody was ever going to use Copilot anyway. Apple didn’t even want Apple “Intelligence”, much like their stupid Alexa speaker, they just did it to appease idiot shareholders. Muskrat’s sex doll AI actually killing real humans will just be an AI sex worker that murders humans with generator pollution and nothing more.

Oh, and Google’s whatever AI thinks a rabbit is a squirrel. But nobody cares anyway. Google destroyed their phone OS permanently. Nobody will use their tech going forward. So. Yeah.

ByeAI! 👋

Models will live on, likely in the style of China’s goals. Small compact models to run on common hardware to achieve simple goals like fixing a lawnmower or a 747.
