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.

There aren't a ton of things I can say I'm an expert on, but SAI is. I've done a whole research project on it (can't get into specifics). This is absolutely a bad idea, I don't care who is doing it.

Also I can see you have no idea what you're talking about, because SOx and NOx are pollutants that cause acid rain among other things and damage entire ecosystems. Ya know, the thing that all of life lives in.

That's why we need to make sure it's outside the environment. Beyond the environment. With the crude oil and fire.
(thanks for your input, I'll have to check out that book you suggested, Terminal Shock.)

What do you mean outside the environment? In space? I don't know what you're trying to say
