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.

We recently received a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation that will allow us to study the social, environmental, economic, and equitable impacts of the QueensLink vision. HOWEVER, there’s one big catch: we MUST provide matching funds for the grant, which total to $100k.

This is the opportunity of a lifetime, and we don’t want it to go to waste. Queens DESERVES transit equity, especially in neighborhoods in the Rockways which were devastated by urban renewal projects in the mid-20th Century, and face the brunt of climate change in the 21st Century.

Please consider making a donation to QueensLink so that we can continue the fight for all New Yorkers! Your donation will be matched 4X by the USDOT grant. Every bit counts, and from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!
